Howdy Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Major issue there; can't have them giving everybody food poisoning
from
-> -> incorrectly chilled food.  Should have bought a new one to begin
with;
-> -> it would have been cheaper and more reliable.
->  HN> ->
->  HN> Yep, but used goes for 1/10th the price of new....very hard to
->  HN> resist...even when you know why it's 1/10th the price!!
-> 
-> Yes but hopefully it's a lesson learned.  Buying new often saves a lot
-> of maintainence problems (and costs) up front.
->
Saw them yesterday...just sitting there doing nothing, I hope they are not
getting disillusioned about the project!
 
-> ->  HN> Hmmm, I don't remember seeing it, or totally mistook what it was
-> 
-> -> OK, for the marinade I used a cup and a half of red wine vinegar; cup
-> -> and about a quarter of water; a couple of medium onions, sliced; a
dozen
-> -> black peppercorns and juniper berries; about 8 whole cloves; a couple
-> -> of large bay leaves and about 8 all spice berries. Brought it to just
a
-> -> boil, then poured over the meat.  Before cooking, I pulled off all
the
-> -> spices so we wouldn't be surprised by biting into any. (a bit later)
-> -> Steve reminded me that a couple of teaspoons of sugar go in the pot
with
-> -> the gingersnap crumbs when making the gravy.  I was going from
memory,
-> -> not the cook book when I wrote the note.  Enjoy!
->  HN> ->
->  HN> Snagged! I'll try and make it sometime this month as a suprise for
->  HN> her! ->
-> 
-> It's a good one; this is the 2nd time I've done this version (used to do
-> it in the crock pot).  After trying out this way with the cast iron
-> dutch oven, we decided it's a keeper.
-> 
all I have to do is get the juniper berries! Maybe it will make it to the
Thanksgiving table!

-> ->  HN> relationship (according to her). I imagine when she finds the
right
-> ->  HN> someone she'll
-> ->  HN> *make* the time (grin).
-> 
-> -> She will; like Deborah, she's still kissing frogs. (G)
-> 
->  HN> (grin) Amanda's at a research site...not even that many frogs to
->  HN> choose from! Most of the other researchers are married professors
and
->  HN> such only a few other grad students and most of em are girls too,
and
->  HN> they all (girls and guys) are so goal oriented they seldom lift
their
->  HN> heads outta their work!
-> 
-> So maybe the volunteer work elsewhere will yield one?
-> 
Maybe, I try not to push her in any direction, she'll get around to it when
she's ready, and I really would rather have her happy in one relationship
than unhappy in several!

-> -> It'll be something we'll do tomorrow.  We've got extra choir practice
-> -> tonight and tomorrow morning; can do the gas run in the afternoon,
-> -> as well as a gazillion other things.
-> 
->  HN> Yep lots of chores! Anne is going down to spend the day with her
->  HN> sister, one of their cousins died this week (a NYC police officer)
in
->  HN> an auto
->  HN> accident...Anne's doing better now, but her sister is much closer
in
->  HN> age to the cousin and is taking it much harder, so Anne will spend
the
->  HN> day with her. Maybe tomorrow as well if she's needed.
-> 
-> Ouch! Our sympathies to her.
-> 
Funeral was yesterday, very tough on the family back in New York...lots of
his co workers showed up in uniform. Now the healing can begin.

-> We ended up not getting the gas this week end after all but did get a
-> bunch of other stuff, including turkey bacon from Fresh Market.  They
-> had a holidays feast set up in the store on Saturday featuring some of
-> the store products.  We had a sampling of the carrot souffle (not really
-> a souffle, too heavy a carrot taste after the first bite or two), yams
-> (Steve) stuffing, asparagus in some sort of sauce, ham (me), turkey
-> (both of us, Steve thinks it was deep fried), pumpkin dessert (like my
-> pumpkin roll) and chocolate yule log. Oh, and Steve had the cranberry
-> relish (enjoyed it).  It just needed a good glass of iced tea to wash it
-> all down.  They also had a corn casserole and whipped potatoes available
-> for trying.
-> 
Sounds like a whole Thanksgiving feast!
chat with you soon
