Hi Ruth,

-> Nah, bears don't have the stripes down their backs.

 RH> Maybe the chipmunks are tiny mutant bears.  Stripes can be caused by

Could be; I never got close enough to ask one. (G)

->  RH> Just think - my parents moved into their house in 1965....  We're
->  RH> finally unloading some of the previous generations' hoardings, but

-> My parents moved into their place in 1957--more stuff built up,
-> especially because they had 5 kids.  I've got 99.99% of mine cleared out
-> of there but not all my siblings did likewise.

 RH> Time for a grab it or lose it sale - tell the kids to come get what
 RH> they want, because the rest is going to the Sally or the dumpster

No, they have no plans to move so stuff will just keep building up.  Dad
has sold some of his HO stuff that he bought as investment stock years
ago but there's still more of that around than cooking stuff.

->  RH> on parts of the flowers.  I'll probably never do that again either,
->  RH> now that it's out of my system.

-> Every so often you've got to do a crazy "get it out of your system"
-> project.  I think that's partly how new recipes are invented too. (G)

 RH> I wouldn't be surprised.

The chef has gone mad------but this tastes good!

-> I don't remember when they were put on; I think before baking.  He
-> learned never to put so many on (actually, he's not done it again).

 RH> Oh well - all the more for me.  I've never actually had them on a
 RH> pizza, but wouldn't mind trying it.

I've had them on other things; they aren't bad one or two at a time and
added as garish.

->  RH> BTW - Connecticut just got socked by a monsoon.  Parts of the state

-> Be glad you've not had 43 days in a row like we had from late Feb. into
-> April.

 RH> Just eight.  Towns in eastern Massachusetts, near Michael IIRC, are
 RH> under a few feet of water.

I suspect where we were at Fort Devens (outside Ayer) was pretty wet.
