Hi Ruth!
-> 
->  hn> Happy Holidays Ruth!
-> 
-> And Mele Kalikimaka back to you. (G)
-> 

And a rousing Haouli Maka Hiki HO To you and Steve as well!

-> -> Good!  Give her a new (easy) one every couple of weeks or so; by the
-> -> time she finishes her work there, she will be an accomplished cook as
-> -> well.  Save the ones that are a bit more "fiddly" for times she comes
-> -> home and can cook with you.
-> 
->  hn> When we went down to visit this past summer, I
->  hn> took a little cookbook that I found (the BIG
->  hn> Little Book of easy recipes) and made it a "gift"
->  hn> for the grad student housing kitchen...it has been
->  hn> very well received, and several of the grad
->  hn> students have mentioned that they've

-> Sounds like you found a winner there. I've given friends basic recipies
-> from time to time but not yet donated a cook book to a student group
-> like that.  If it gets them thinking of meals other than take out, fast
-> food, ramen or mac & cheese out of a box, it will be well worth the
-> money spent.
-> 
-> 
I think I got this one on specail at Borders for $2.99 so it was
a great bargain and had LOTS of easy recipes so that grad 
students sharing a big kitchen would have little problem
putting together a good meal. 

->  hn> "favorites"! Amanda has been using it
->  hn> as well and she's expanding her
-> 
-> Good for her!  Deborah admits that she resorts to the microwave probably
-> more often than she should for "no brainer" meals.
-> 
Ours is mainly used for reheating leftovers rather 
than preparing a dish.

-> 
->  hn> menu list (grin) she loves making bread
->  hn> from scratch and has been doing
->  hn> a lot of that lately!
-> 
-> Sounds good to me.  NIce thing about that is that there's about 20
-> minutes of work needed at first, then let it sit & rise for about an
-> hour, then about 10 minutes to shape.  Let it sit for another hour or
-> so, turn the oven on and bake for 40 minutes. Another maybe 10 minutes
-> to pull it out & turn it onto cooling racks, then later, put away.  Very
-> little work time overall but great tasting results.
-> 

That's part of it's charm for her I think. She likes the 
process as much as the result. 

-> ->  HN> Amanda and I love seafood, so it's been a
-> ->  HN> nice bond for us, we go out together for
-> ->  HN> some seafood, just the two of us....a great
-> ->  HN> experience for a dad!
-> 
-> -> I'm not sure about Rachel but Steve, Deborah and I like it.  Just means
-> -> Steve can't get away with just taking Deborah with him for seafood. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Poor guy! He just has to figure out another
->  hn> way to get good Daddy-daughter time!
-> 
-> She trailed him back to work after lunch--hitting the road to Atlanta
-> this afternoon for her flight back to AZ this evening.
-> 

Can she catch "hops" on military flights? I 
used to fly into Charleston AFB regularly!
