"Obviously, the old system of trying to know everything about everything can't work in this new environment. I'm not sure we've figured out yet what will." That is truly perceptive ... and goes a long way to explaining my 77-yr-old headache. Thanks !?

Okay, this may be a weird question. I'm reading "Falling Free" and one of the characters said "trade him in for a dog and shoot the dog". This had me gasping for breath! That is a phrase I have only heard from my mother, who learned it from her mother. Where did you pick it up?

RE gene cleaning as the best birthday gift. There are steps between removing deleterious genes, choosing the best genes in the sperm sample, looking for rare existing variations (better than 20/20 vision, lactic acid breakdown), and going full haute boutique genome. Given their history with the Cetagandans and their militaristic inclination, would the Barrayarans be tempted into their own eugenic project?

Hi, my turn to ask a question so food. Can you remember what an "Oil Cake" is supposed to be ? Mountains of Mourning breakfast AND after Caz's breakfast before collecting Laundry in Curse of Chalion. The dictionary doesn't help and nor do the recipe pages give a likely answer. Could be just a cake' fried in oil I suppose ?
