Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Great!  Bring bck memories?  We had fried seafood for lunch
yesterday;
-> -> Steve got oysters & I got shrimp, then we split.  Sides were cole
slaw
-> 
->  HN> It did bring back memories! Mostly because they were speaking
pidgen
->  HN> to each other and I chimed right in! We may go back for lunch today
so
->  HN> Anne can have some too! They even have Saimin on the menu!Ahhhhhh!
-> 
-> Sounds like you are in hog heaven.  Speaking of, our church does a Wed.
-> night dinner before other activities.  The lady in charge of this weeks
-> is making a pork roast with plum sauce. She's cooking a chicken breast
-> with plum sauce special for Steve, knowing he doesn't like pork.
-> 
I was! Went back the next day with Annie and I had the huli huli
chicken....it was very good! 

-> -> What store had them?  We were in Publix today before going to the
-> -> commissary; Steve was sure the latter had whole wheat fettucini so he
-> 
->  HN> Found them at Metropolitan market, also at the healthfood place.
-> 
-> Good, hope it goes well from my kinda sorta cobbled together recipe.
->
I think it will do fine!
 
-> ->  HN> Family is going through a really rough time, the aunt is having
to
->  HN> be
-> ->  HN> medicated as she get hysterical and no one can console her.
-> 
-> -> That is rough.  Medication will work for a while but she will have to
-> -> face reality without it eventually.  Over Memorial Day my senior year
in
-> -> high school, a kid in the class above me was killed.  I understand
his
-> -> mom took years to get over it, if she ever did, before she died.
-> 
->  HN> Michael's mom may fall into that category, she's still having a
very
->  HN> rough time and everyone is keeping very close tabs on her all the
->  HN> time.
-> 
-> That can be rough on the rest of the family as well.  She may need some
-> professional help at some point.
-> 
I think she needs it for sure, but right now I don't think she's even
capable of dealing with therapy. It is being very rough on her other kids
and her ex husband has started hitting the bottle very hard...not a good
sign at all. 

-> ->  HN> Sounds like a fun sampling!
-> 
-> -> Gave you ideas on doing your own dinner--and buying everything to do
it
-> -> from them. (G)  I would not do the carrot souffle; neither of us were
-> -> overwhelmed by it.
-> 
->  HN> I used to make Thanksgiving my trip into wild cooking, we'd always
->  HN> have the traditional turkey and stuffing and giblet gravy...but
every
-> 
-> That would be interesting, especially for the unsuspecting guests. (G)
-> 
Usually it worked out very well, everyone knew my approach and came to the
table with an open mind. 

->  HN> other dish I made was something new...sometimes it worked out
->  HN> well...sometimes
->  HN> not....the blue cheese mashed potatoes seemed like a good
idea....but
->  HN> ended up being a NOT!
-> 
-> It sounds like it would have been good but the amount of blue cheese has
-> to be watched.  Too much will ruin the potatoes, just enough to let you
-> know it's there without overpowering everything else is the way to go.
-> Of course hitting the happy medium is an art.
-> 
The problem was that the blue cheese flavored the potatoes very well...too
well and that flavor grew stronger over time, so the leftovers were way
over the top in blue cheese flavor! With just Annie and me here, I've cut
down quite a bit and we don't really need all the extra calories so it's
ok!

chat with you soon
