 CS> backlog others as well.  If I export these 20-25, then wait til

RH> Yes, and you saw someting referring to Michael's father's "palsied
RH> speech" which I don't think has crossed my mail yet.

Well, it was buried in other notes and posted some 3-4 weeks ago.  He mentioned
he had to go back to his Dad's earlier than expected.  Havent seen more about
it but then, I'm hopelessly behind and may never catch up.

Grin, Don doesnt always take Charlotte either because she's been aught to can
read and tell him which brand to get if she's not recognizing it as something
*I* buy now.  Just sodium checking but Don wants to just ignore that all when
he can get away with it.

RH> But, at least she does it.  I presume she knows how to fire up the ric

 CS> Umm, thats a reminder.  Show Charlotte how to do that <g>.  Don does
 CS> it when I dont.

RH> It is easy enough; she probably knows the basics but may not quite kno
RH> proportions.

Yes but if she errs generous on the water she can make congee and if the other
ay, she knows to add more water then hit the cook cycle again.


RH> I bloomed more once I got to college.  No siblings (older or younger)
RH> there to be compared to.

Happens to many of us that way.


 CS> I think I noted that too but not sure.  Mine changed so long ago,
 CS> potatoes are a sideline.  Once I get stateside, chicken broth will be

RH> I've always used mostly chicken stock, and turkey from the ones Steve
RH> smoked over here.  Beef is a distant 3rd place, but does get used from

Not too much beef stock here either.  Just the rare one of marrow stock.

RH> Yes, we were talking last night about hopefully finding an organic

I'm looking forward to trying out my jelly making again.
