Hi Peter The radiation thing flashed through my thoughts as I read and looked at your meal. Looks very good indeed! :-) However, I dismissed radiation immediately, as I've been doing with most of the "TV diatribe" about radiation levels, basically putting unknown info into the minds of millions of viewers! Then followed immediately with... "There are no effects from these levels so don't be concerned!" Meanwhile they've scared the hell out of viewers just by mentioning it! If there is "no effect?" Then it's not a story worth mentioning! Like, "get over it!" And stop blowing the minds of lesser minded viewers who think it's like CHERNOBYL? Or WW 2 and the atomic bombs!" Maybe it could be under completely uncontrolled situation? HOWEVER? Instead? We should all be saying a prayer to the Great Spirit on behalf of the engineers, technicians, firemen and every other Soul bringing this situation under control! They of course are working so close they may well be basically "Offering their lives" to save the potential of many. Dr.ted
