===================
Hi Hap,

-> -> Have fun and I'll see you when you get back.

->  hn> You don't have to wait till then! We are in Leavenworth right now,
->  hn> thanks to laptops and wifi, we can still get a fido fix nomatter where

-> But I took Sunday off from Fido; that's why I said what I did. (G)  Had
-> to recouperate from reading material on a new bread machine (Zojoroshi),
-> food proccessor (Hamilton Beach) and toaster (Oster) we picked up on

 hn> Hmmmm, but of the three, which one do you like the moster?

Only "played with" 2 of the 3 so far.  The bread machine is a 2 pound, 2
paddle deal; it makes a horizontal loaf.  First one turned out a bit
sunk in on the top but great looking/tasting otherwise.  The Oster
toaster does a much better job than the old Hamilton Beach we'd had,
especially with the home made breads.

->  hn> saurbraten...then we had "Oma's caramel apple pie with whipped
->  hn> and a shortbread crust" very very good and worth the carbs !

-> Sounds good to me.

 hn> ohhh it was! (grin)

But how much "penance" do you have to do now? (G)

-> the Hunter one for meats and so on.  One of my favorite things this time
-> of year is a tomato/onion salad with a vinegarette gressing.  I had it
-> once at a place in Frankfurt and found the recipe in one of my German
-> cook books.

 hn> I like salads and that one is always good!

And simple too.  We bought several varieties of heirloom tomatoes at the
Publix market a few weeks ago; they had a much better taste than the
usual run of the mill store bought stuff.  I'd like to try them and
Vidalia onions in that salad.


->  hn> who went to school overseas....and you girls would fit right
->  hn> in...Priscilla Presely is a member, and many of my friends have either
->  hn> met or knew
->  hn> her "way back then" .

-> Yes, she was a Wiesbaden High School graduate. And, if our girls hadn't
-> been military brats, and David one also, he and Rachel never would have
-> met. (G)

 hn> Yep, its' an odd little segment of the population. A group of my old
 hn> schoolmates is going back to Chateauroux this fall for a reunion. I
 hn> would love to go but the timing is all wrong for us.

Sigh!  One of Steve's high school classmates e-mailed him about a
planned get together this week end.  We can't make that but he sent back
word we'd be in the area in July and wouldn't mind meeting up with some
of them. But for the most part, we rarely have contact with any of our
high school classmates (about 150, give or take, between his and my
schools).

-> The next one was a good deal at $39.95.  We just paid $149.00 for our
-> third.  But, it's bigger than either of the first two and we could
-> afford the bigger/better one now.

 hn> Yep, I keep threatening to get a bigger better one...but don't know
 hn> where I'd put the present one and as long as it keep chugging along I
 hn> can't see getting rid of it. Tomorrow they are bringing the new washer
 hn> and dryer...the old dryer finally died after 34 years of solid
 hn> service...bought it at JC Pennys the first summer we were married!

Don't be surprised if the freezer goes belly up in sympathy.  Four years
ago in HI, my sewing machine died on me, got it replaced and bought
Steve a much needed lap top over one week end.  The next week, the
washing machine tub seal gave way and we had water all over the place!
Had to buy a new washer.  I suspect either the dryer (15 years old) or
microwave (10) will be the next major replacements.
