I, too am primarily a non-mayonnaise eater - however I LOVE horseradish sauce....and spicy sauces. The jalapeno mayonnaise does sound rather good -

I'm back!!! We had a wonderful program at Surratt House with standing room (85+) only and huge applause for Dr. Medford, who answered questions for an hour-and-a-half after her initial talk.

However, Jim, I have to say that one of my volunteers brought me green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes fresh from her garden, and I came home and fixed a tomato and mayonnaise sandwich for dinner. YUM!

I much prefer crunchy peanut butter to the smooth variety, except in Reese's peanut butter cups. Do you like peanut butter and banana sandwiches? I guess I can assume that you do not use tartar sauce on your crab cakes? May I ask what horrible childhood experience did your mother put you through to make you detest mayonnaise? We know that it's always the mother's fault...

Triviliazing the subject, and the arguments of people one disagrees with, is what one does, alas, when the cause is lost.

The cause of trying to understand other people's viewpoints and work towards a solution will never be lost, Rosemary. But it is prudent to break deadlocks and to move forward when one door (i.e. mind) is closed. Frankly, I'm hitching a ride with Daniel and heading for a truce in Appomattox.

Friendship and working together will eventually make things work. I wish that you could have been in the audience at Surratt House yesterday to see about 60 African Americans and 25 Caucasian Americans listening to a wonderful black professor and then spending time working in tandem to discuss both history and future. There was not one agitator in the group who was trying to defeat the purpose of our museum to present an educational opportunity.

I should have added that one member of the Caucasian audience had driven from North Augusta, SC in order to hear Dr. Medford because she has admired her for years while watching C-Span.

Laurie,
(I know this is off the topic.. sorry)
I was in D.C. a little over a week ago, heading to N.C. I really wanted to head over to the Surratt house. Two teenage boys complaining about the length of our ride from Ma. made me think otherwise. Sounds like a great program you had yesterday, Congrats. If I lived close I would be a regular at such events.
