   Just a point about the logistics and support (ground) teams. While their jobs may have been ‘safer’ the US Military has been so good in the 20th and 21st century because of logistics and support. I read that for every guy in a plane or on the line with a rifle there are ten people backing them. Masters of The Air pays tribute to ground crews who maintain, repair and supply the planes and the cooks and planning teams.

   If you get a chance, watch Masters of the Air on Apple+. It is supposed to be the truest depiction yet of the horrors and sacrifice of the Army Air Forces. If you don’t have Apple+ I think you can sign up for a free account for a week. Trust me, you won’t have any trouble binging it.

   My dad was too young for WWII – the man across the street, he also ran the local auto repair shop, fought in Europe. He never talked about it that much. Probably a mix of modesty and not wanting to relive those times. It wasn’t until the 80s when his kids convinced to get a state commemorative license plate that I learned he had one a bronze start in the Battle of the Bulge. Someone had written a history of his unit. It turns out that he became the French translator for his unit, thanks to his Quebecois ancestry. (The French didn’t mind the accent when they needed the Army’s help). His bronze star was for capturing several prisoners, among them a German medic who proceeded to help treat American wounded.

   I never had a problem with onions and tears. I would like to point out that basic kitchen safety should be shoes that cover the whole foot and have a good grip. Clogs, Crocs, flip-flops should never be worn in a busy commercial kitchen.

   Don’t get me started on how Crocs cannot be recycled and cost a lot for 50 cents worth of molded plastic.

   On my Saturday training rides I pass through a sports complex. On one side will be the teens playing. They’re pretty good. But it’s much more fun watching the coaches in the other fields trying coach T-ball.

   I remember when Bert on Big Bang Theory got a genius grant. He was able to get a girlfriend. (I think it was April Bowlby)

   After my wife developed an allergy to fermented products (beer, wine, cheese, mushrooms. Tofu) I’ve had to change a lot of my recipes, or abandon a few. Funny thing, I don’t drink but I like to cook with wine. Sometimes I can use vinegar. I also make a cheese substitute with egg whites and Greek style yogurt.
