 CS> Well, I'm dancing between backlog and current.  I skipped most of what
 CS> came in yesterday til i catch up with it.

RH> I'm trying to read on a daily basis for now.  I may have to skip the
RH> days we pack out, then go back to it until we move into the Schofield
RH> Inn on the 24th.  Then it will be put on hold until we get resettled t
RH> I may try to drop an e-mail off & on to someone.

Ok.  Me, still 800 messages behind.  I got home early today and am still going
through messages 'to me'.

 CS> names.  I dont use enough at a time to really branch out on those.  I
 CS> do know I will never buy Kikkoman (even lite) soy again, once finding
 CS> the Datu Puti brand of same was 50% less sodium than the Kikkoman lite

RH> I looked again & mine is Viet Namese.

Ok, use it up then check the sodium if it lists it in a way you can read it.


RH> We've adjusted quite well overall.  Some things do "ask" for extra sal

RH> chips over potato chips now; the latter are usually too salty for my

I like the restraunt ones best.  Not the doritos or fritos.  Seems to suit
best.

-- slight break, dinner--
Made pork stock udon with spinach and oranges at the side.
-- end dinner--


 CS> that would not be normal.  One thing i've noted is the 'raw sashimi'
 CS> fills the need faster with less as opposed to a steak or something red
 CS> meat.

RH> Wonder what there is about that..................

 CS> I think it has to do with a combination of flavor-pack-to-the-mouth
 CS> and the 'fat feel' (though low fat, it doesnt feel or taste lowfat
 CS> when raw).

RH> Sort of on the lines of what I was thinking, plus the fact of eaating
RH> raw fish isn't as appealing to a lot of people as a juicy steak would

No, just 'differnt' and really fixes the need up faster.  It's every bit as
appealing to those who like the idea.  Given a chouice between sashimi and
beef, I'll take the sashimi.  I might go either way though if both were
cooked.

RH> potato and a couple of small ears (about 3" long) of corn on the cob a
RH> salad bar.  Carmelised onions & mushrooms topped the meat.  I cut both

The corn would have gotten et up fast here!

 CS> well and make them almost as pretty.

RH> Yes, I'm "prettying up" thngs too.  A couple of weeks ago, I had sever
RH> colorful vegetables (something each orange and green, plus the dark re
RH> of the cranberry sauce for Steve) and he remarked on how colorful the
RH> plate was.

I dont worry that much about it, but it's a nice touch.
