Hi Hap,

 HN> Grin, I expect "end of the month" may be the end of NEXT month at this
 HN> rate!

I'm thinking so.  If they're open by the end of the year, consider
yourself happy to have it.

-> -> I got the meat out today; we made other plans for Saturday so I'll do

->  HN> Relax, enjoy, and enjoy some more!

-> We will but I found out there's a Rockport shoe outlet at the Hilton
-> Head Tanger Outlet; I want to get some walking shoes.  I'm also trying
-> to convince Steve he needs to get some new clothes.

 HN> I used to really be happy with Rockports....then I found
 HN> birkenstock...I have a pair that has lasted longer than any two pairs
 HN> of rockports ever did! and they are very comfortable too!

With my foot problems, I like the Rockports.  They last half of forever
with me.  Got my first pair in Germany, a while after I'd broken my
right foot and found out how comfy they are.  Since then I've worn othr
brands but none have been as nice as the Rockports.  Steve got some MBTs
a few months ago and really likes them for walking shoes.


-> Got the sauerbraten to be marinading today.  I used a couple of medium
-> marinade until Friday afternoon, then I'll braise it in my cast iron
-> dutch oven, thickening the juices to make a gravy out of ginger snaps.
-> I'll serve it with red cabbage and whole wheat noodles, pumpkin roll for
-> dessert.

 HN> Sounds scrumptious!

Well, I'd send some to you but it wouldn't be quite as tasty by the time
it went cross country. (G)

->  HN> All we'd need is someone playing spoons and washtub base!

-> Have to add a touch of classical--where's Michael? (G)

 HN> I think Michael would be running in the other direction!


Probably, but then he might surprise us and join in.

-> -> Hovering like a helicopter.
 HN> ->
->  HN> whupppita whuppita whuppita!
 HN> ->
-> You got it! Sometimes I think he think I'm made out of spun glass or
-> something like that. (G)
 HN> ->
 HN> I've only got one Anne, I wanna keep her around a long time! I expect
 HN> Steve feels the same about you!

He sure does!  Even his great aunt made a comment to his mom when we
were up in NY in July about how he spoils me.


->  HN> Think more like BBQ'd pork only chewier!YUMMY!
 HN> ->
-> Sounds good to me.
 HN> ->
 HN> Oh it IS, it IIIIISSS!

Maybe that would be a way to get Steve to eat more pork?

-> -> Put it in the ice cream machine!
 HN> ->
->  HN> Bleurgh!
 HN> ->
-> I've seen a lot of "interesting" things come out of that machine.
 HN> ->
 HN> I think this would only be interesting till you tasted it!


Well, that'll be only if I get called to be on the judge's panel so I
don't think it'll be any time soon. You wonder what some of them are
really thinking as they eat some of the stuff the chefs give them.  Some
looks really good but others look horrendous.

->  HN> pieces and such, the odd remnants of years of collecting and
 HN> trading

-> I don't have too much of a collection as it's come on an "as I get it"
-> basis.  I do have some old (Sadam era) Iraqi money, as well as some from
-> East Germany.

 HN> Back when I was in College, I did some dealing in coins, appraising
 HN> stamp collections and coin collections and buying and selling coins
 HN> and silver. I got out of it just barely before the Hunt Brothers
 HN> brought the silver
 HN> market down with a thump..I never really got back into it after that,
 HN> but still every now and then I get asked to do an appraisal of a

Well, I never made a concerted effort to be a collector.  It's just been
fun getting odd coins (and some bills) here & there.

->  HN> That's why the echo picnics always turn out so great!

-> As we found out in July!  That was fun and we're going to try to make
-> more of them. Michael set the standard for crab cakes but there was also
-> a lot more good eating going on that week end.

 HN> It's a great group of people and a good time is always had by all,
 HN> Anne and I still want to manage to make it to an east coast picnic!

Talk is of having another east coast one next year.  I'd like to get out
for a west coast one some time as well.
