 CS> I was looking at some cute ones for jarring jams and things.  I could
 CS> reuse them when the time comes to make jams next year.

 RH> Sounds like a winner to me.

I'm still thinking but the baggies are fine.  Most of my spices are replicated
now so only rarely do I reach for something and not find it. 
 
 RH> Less worry about breakage to jars. (G)
 
 CS> Less weight to pay for was in my mind!  That and the box didnt fit the
 CS> jars well but the baggies were perfect.

 RH> Smart thinking; some folks would have just looked for a bigger box.
 
Dumb folks, jars are cheap!  You accumulate them no matter what unless you toss
them out anyways.  
 
 RH> Feeling like you're back in Japan?  Has Charlotte readjusted to living
 RH> in the States again?  It usually doesn't take long for kids to settle
 RH> in, especially once they are busy with school.

She's settled and seems to be very popular with the other girls and boys!  They
arent used to strong minded fellow age mates who just say some things are
stupid
even if 'popular' and won't play dumb about it.  I thought that might make her
unpopular but it's going in the reverse.  (I'm not too worried about popular
but it's nice to be accepted).
 
 RH> We're getting good stuff at the store too, just a bit short on cash on
 RH> hand that day & didn't want to use plastic for real food. (G)
 
 CS> Understandable.  By now you see my Asian Market trip.  I had forgotten
 CS> about the ribs so we ended up freezing the butterfish.  I'll make a
 CS> miso marinade for it later and add 1/2 of it to Charotte's lunch
 CS> sometime this week.

 RH> Sounds good.

They have 'white', 2 levels of 'yellow' and a red there.  I got the deeper
 yellow which suits us most as a generic if we cant get white and red.  Once
the
chest freezer gets here, we go back for red and white.
 
 RH> Fresh Market has quite a meat/seafood/poultry case.  Most everything
 RH> is pricey so we've not tried much.  They even sell crab cakes, kebabs,
 RH> and all sorts of easy to cook and eat pre done "fancy" things but at a
 
 CS> I think I may have seen one of those places on Route58 out near the
 CS> ocean front. (I got turned around heading for Asia Market off London
 CS> Bridge road and went the wrong way so showed Charlotte the beach for a
 CS> few moments.)

 RH> How does the beach there differ from the one in Japan?

A beach is a beach.  The nearby ones in Japan didnt have much white sand and
the Virginia Beach waterfront has loads as a tourist place (possibly they bring
it in on trucks now and again, dunno). 
 
 CS> Yes, showed her a durian at the Asian Market and was very tempted to
 CS> get a cake of it frozen.  I decided not to for the moment as Charlotte
 CS> may not like it and I forgot to ask Don if he likes it.  (He doesnt).

 RH> Good thing you didn't get a whole one.  We'd probably go for a small
 RH> bit for our initial try; have to do it one of these days.

Naw, he's tried it before.  He doesnt like it.
 
 CS> Too bad we live so far away.  It would be funny to do a combined
 CS> retirement!        

 RH> That would be fun; Steve has gone to a number of Army ones and they
 RH> are cut & dried boring.  The Navy one was fun.

We tend to a few little fun tricks!
