RH> rest of the trip.  Some were memorably good; others were memorably bad

 CS> Ok!  I'll catch up eventually but I'm having fun reading all the stuff
 CS> back in mid-June just now.

RH> And by the time you get all caught up, your main system will be packed
RH> out and on its way stateside.  Can you believe that?

Groan, dont remind me.  It's awful close looming to us here.

 CS> Well, I know some of the stuff I can get easy in the USA so am not
 CS> worried. It's the korean red chile pepper I can't replace!  The rest
 CS> is replacabe but would cost alot more than to just mail it <g>.

RH> I know, even finding "common" things to other ethnic groups can be a
RH> challenge here.  On Friday of the picnic week end, Dale took Steve and
RH> me to a produce market for some really fantastic peaches!  Then we
RH> headed over to an Indian place; I had about 6 spices I wanted to pick
RH> up.  I was able to find all but one--the nigi(e?)lla or black seeds.

Humm, blackened sesame perchance?  If so let me know as i have seen that here.


 CS> Yes.  I am not sure how prevalent 'peanut allergies' are compared to
 CS> other things, but that they denied they were in there when asked, is
 CS> what scares me.

RH> Me too; peanut allergies seem to be diagnosed more and more these days
RH> We had friends (first met in TX, stationed several times together) who
RH> son (2 when we first met him) couldn't get anywhere near a peanut.
RH> Deborah who was 4 at the time was sorry that he could never enjoy a
RH> PB&J. (G)

I wonder about this.  There are some foods if you feed them too young to a
child, they are very prone to developed allergies to it.  Could that be it?

 CS> 30,000 college students and faculty, the town dries up and blows away
 CS> in summer then they mostly leave.  2,000 or so true locals of which I
 CS> was one.

RH> It was busy in the latter part of September. (G)  The friends we staye
RH> with are major supporters, doing the tailgate picnic thing, even for
RH> breakfast for their early start games.

That would be start of the school year.  Busy time and all the locals are into
it.  Who were your friends?  Small area and if they have lived there a long
time, I might know them.

In fact, sounds like the Houghton clan <g>.  Maybe Deborah and Charles Pinckny
own that name now as she was an only kid so probably by now inherited the
house.  He makes great carved abolone jewelrey.
