Hi Hap,

-> With just 2 of us, it lasts a lot longer than it used to. Deborah is
-> coming in tomorrow, leaving Sunday.  I wonder how much jerky will be
-> leaving with (or in) her. (G)

 hn> Boy that's a short visit! too bad she couldn't stay over the whole
 hn> holiday period!

We'll probably see her again Sunday night into Monday morning, then
after Christmas while we are out in Las Vegas.  Better some time time
than no time.  We took her out for local seafood Saturday night; she
really enjoyed that.

->  HN> I try to vary her meals from wraps to leftovers, to salads and always
->  HN> a bit of fruits and veggies.

-> You've got it down to a science.

 hn> I just try to keep it interesting. When I make a wrap for her I use
 hn> low carb tortillas and usually use hummus as a spread then meat,
 hn> shredded cheese or sliced, and finishing with shredded lettuce or
 hn> clover sprouts. Fairly quick and easy to make and easy and non messy
 hn> to eat!

If I'd had you making my school lunches when I was growing up, I might
like peanut butter now. (G)  Combination of a super tight budget for the
family (5 kids) and an uncreative cook for a mom, I avoid pb now.


-> -> -> shore duty over there, exposed to Agent Orange, and passed away

->  HN> It was nasty stuff, and many vet's are still suffering from those
->  HN> effects, including my dad.

-> So much for progress in chemical worfare.  They should work out a
-> reasonable treatment proticol before unleahing it--but, that's water
-> over the dam now.

 hn> It has long been (and still is) a big problem; dealing with the after
 hn> effects of
 hn> war. The treatment our wounded vet's get when they come home is
 hn> shameful (medical treatment that is). There's a big local story here
 hn> about a Msgt reservist that went to Iraq, got wounded, came home could
 hn> not do his civilian job, so he lost that, Could no longer serve so he
 hn> got "abandoned" and has had to fight for his disability payments.

Snip--------

He's doing well to get the attention he needs.  I'll just leave the
topic at that; there's a lot more that I could, but won't say.


-> -> But, getting back to the echo topic here, food for the forces has
-> -> undergone considerable change, even in the last century.  Army chow
 hn> went
-> -> from K-rats & C-rats to MREs and T-rats & rather sophisticated field
-> -> kitchens.

->  HN> All things being equal....I like my
->  HN> cooking better!

-> Why does that not surprise me? (G)

 hn> Betcha Steve likes yours better too!

No brainer there. Even better, I usually do the clean up as well.
