Hi Carol,

RH> Cramming as many into your "read" files as you can?

 CS> Naw, just trying to not get too far behind.  I'm about 50 behind right
 CS> now which is a normal daily load here.

I was over 100 behind when Steve got today's mail but I should finish
shortly.  I was able to put in a couple of hours this afternoon after
getting home from Fort Stewart and before a church committment we just
go home from (with a stop at Wal-Mart for a bike light for Steve).


 CS> Cool!  Saves dishwasher time <g>.

RH> No dishwasher time needed with these spoons as they were plastic.  Dal
RH> wisely bought big boxes disposable "silverware", paper plate, cups, et
RH> for mealtimes (and snacking).  I suspect the dishwasher got a lot more
RH> use than it normally does over a 4 day week end, even with eating out
RH> several times. (G)

 CS> Oh I am sure!  Yes, wise of Dale to do that.  If we have one at my
 CS> place, I have enough plates and things to go around, but would get
 CS> plastic 'silverware' as that is a bit more limited and we could run
 CS> out.

Go ahead with disposable plates, cups, glasses and bowls too for eating,
use the "good" stuff only for serving.  It may increase the amount of
garbage you put out (G) but it's worth not having to wash all those
plates, glasses, bowls, etc.

In regards to your previous note about your neighbor--I use boneless,
skinless breasts for just about every thing.  They can be pounded flat,
breaded and baked with a sauce; cut up and stir fried with veggies in a
wok; cut up and fried (use pam or other non stick spray in a non stick
skillet--cast iron) with any number of sauces.  A simple white sauce can
be made with stock vs milk and seasoned with herbs and spices or
mushrooms can be lightly sauteed, then cooked in the sauce with
the chicken and served over brown rice.  You've seen my fresh veggie
pasta sauce with fresh peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, usual Italian
spices and a no salt added tomato paste.  That can be served with any
number of pastas--with chicken it's chicken cacchitorie; without meat
it'll work for a hearty pasta sauce.  Does she use whole wheat pasta? If
not, a switch would help her husband (and the rest of the family).  I
use little to no salt in most all of my cooking but it's got lots of
flavor from whole grains, herbs and spices.  I'll try to find specific
recipes but I do a lot of "winging" (pun intended) it.

Catch you later,
