Default Quick Sides

On 17 Jan 2004 21:09:56 -0800, (-L.) arranged random
neurons, so they looked like this:

>Peel two long cukes, seed and slice medium-thick. Coarsely chop two

>Sometimes I throw in chopped green bell pepper and a chopped green

I was just served the following by my aunt last night and the DH asked
for the recipe (he *never* asks for recipes - he also likes peanut

type recipes that "real" cooks eschew, but I would bet a lot of us use
from time to time (with shades drawn, secret hand shakes and aliases):

"If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret
had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had
been as full as the waitress', it would have been a very
good dinner." Anonymous.
