"Every position must be held to the last man: there must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to the end."
Earl Douglas Haig, Order to the British Army, 12 April 1918
So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since the former it is not, and the latter are no more.
Take a second plate, place it over the toast on beans. Hold the plates together and then turn over.
The bottom plate will now be on top and can be removed.

Yeah I already bought the salad stuff. I'm gonna ask my parents if I can make dinner for them saturday.
momo's pickled salad MK.I
each a small handful of:
- green bell pepper, cut into small bite-size strips
- red onion, cut into similar small bite-size strips
- sweet corn
- napa cabbage, cut into small pieces (substitute green cabbage if necessary)
- cucumber half-slices
- jicama, cut into thin strips (or green apple, peeled and diced)
2 tablespoons sugar - white sugar is fine
1 tablespoon salt
2 or 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
half a handful of chopped walnuts (optional)
vinegar of your choice, white vinegar is fine
boil the vinegar with the salt, sugar, and rosemary.
cram the salad stuff into a mason jar
pour the vinegar in and seal. Let cool overnight, and chill before serving.
I did not find jicama at the store I went to, so I got green apples too.
I didn't get walnuts because I didn't think of it. I'll see what I think of the walnuts idea after I taste some of this.
I forgot to get corn and I'm not going back to the store, so mine won't have it.
