 CS> normally does it for unique reasons though.  You get these little

RH> Well, at least she's not out roaming the street. (G)

Naw, she does that in packs with the other girls now <g>.

 CS> english class to email all her geography classmates the GPS searchable
 CS> map coodinates of Egypt so they didnt have to use the book the teacher

RH> Too computer literate! (G)

Yeah, she's going to do well but she's getting F's in english class.  I'm more
than a little worried about the grades but she reads constantly so it's just a
phase I guess.  I jumped all over her about it though.  She's gonna have to
repeat this year's english i think...

She spent her time reading 'Linux Unleashed' instead of doing her book report.
I was at sea so can only deal with the aftermath.


 CS> She's hotwired an orgami made structure that is a sat-dish covered in
 CS> foil, to bleed off a feed to the downstairs neighbor kid's MP3 music
 CS> but that one hasnt lead to detention.

RH> No, but she's got a sharp mind for electronics.  Any plans for a futur

RH> For not having high school chemistry, she handled the chem portions of

Good on Deborah!  FT Lenord Wood school right?

RH> We had that issue too with one of the girls; peer pressure kicked in
RH> before I made much of an issue about it.

She's wearing one now.  Not much choice.  She's definately 'busty' for her age
group.  34B is a little loose still but 32B is tight.  34A is just about right
depending on the style but some are too small.  (The padded ones are too small
as you'd guess).

 CS> Ah, 13YO's can be so much *fun*! It's not that she's blazingly
 CS> intelligent, it's that she's always finding something new to try that
 CS> I didnt even think to mention to her. I still cant get over the base
 CS> housing WiFi...  Folks are complaining now to the base that it stopped
 CS> working <snicker>.

RH> Are you sure she's not child #2?  They get into the things #1 didn't
RH> even dream exsisted.

Hehe naw, #1.  Oh, the base added WiFi to the school and those close enough can
tap in.  It's an honor system to not do it during the day when the students
need the bandwidth.  So far, it's working.


 CS> Yes, I used the basics of crockery that time but knew the roasting of
 CS> the bones (mostly meatfree if you do that) would make the trick.   I
 CS> think it was Ian that explained that part well to me first.  Might
 CS> have been Jim Weller though?

RH> I've read it and thought about it but not done it. Maybe because most
RH> my broth is chicken or trukey from what Steve smokes.

 CS> I dont use that trick with poultry bones but with beef or pork, it
 CS> seems 'right' and works quite well when I take the time to do it.

RH> Maybe I ought to give it a try?

Worth trying!  I'll be looking into it too for roasting bones in advance.  I
think marrow bones would take well to that.  Say, just salt and pepper them
then roast for 20 mins at 350?  Sounds right?

Yeah, I always use dry beans.  It's more fun too <snicker>.

RH> We've been buying and using more of the red/orange/yellow peppers out
RH> here. Trouble is, we can buy a sack full of green peppers for the cost
RH> of the others; something is wrong there.  I do use lot of peppers in m
RH> cooking since I do a lot of southwest and Italian kinda/sorta.

Out here, it's often the reverse.  Red bell peppers are cheapest.  There's a
mild flavor diffrence in cooking with them that i like, but not enough to pay
2-3$ a lb for when we get back home.  I'll try growing them again though in my
backyard.


RH> BTW, the Milwaukee Sweet Tart Supper recipe Dale sent to me on Feb.4;
RH> don't know how long you keep a data base but I'm sure he could send it
RH> to you or I could if you want it.

I probably have it but cant find it!  Like, I just looked for the morrocan
chicken which I recall I had, but cant find.
