Hi Carol,

 CS> Same here.  We may not match just where we both use fats, but the
 CS> concept is the same.

All in the interest of good eating.

Sounds like I just missed some good advice and some twits. (G)

 CS> Hey, it's easy. I swap foods easily now and a good thing finds it's

Just the moving will do it, doesn't even have to be over seas as we've
found out.  CONUS has so many different areas where we have had to adapt
our eating.........................mostly for the better.

 CS> I first freeze all rice then after that, move it to airtight keepers.
 CS> Before I did that, we had lots of bug problems.

I should, but this place seems to have a fast enough turn over that I've
never seen a bug in the store.

 CS> For me, it's dried beans that normally get no meat or fats at all.
 CS> Just a heavy spicing hand.  Lentils though seem to need a little

Just enough to enhance the flavors.

 CS> I am now officially indunuated with tomatoes.  Cropping 5-6 a day.

Will Don keep up with picking while you are gone?

 CS> Mostly we need to position the containers better.  We have them too

Make a note of it to remind you for next year.

 CS> Very true, so today when we did some of the work on the house after I

As part of a former job, Steve put carpeting in fancy boats. Measure 5-6
times before cutting. (G)
