===========================
Hi Ruth!
-> 
-> -> at The Shrimp Factory on River Street---much (!!) better than last
-> -> week's seafood. I'll ask Steve if he wants me to do the write up or if
-> -> he will.
-> 
->  hn> Shrimps is goood! When we lived in South Carolina back in
->  hn> the 1950's we had friends who were shrimpers out of
->  hn> Charleston and we'd have a good supply of them year
->  hn> round!
-> 
-> I could eat them year round--and have enjoyed them at various times of
-> the year, mostly when living in the south.
-> 
I love em too! A bunch of years ago one of my 
co workers had a father
who held a commercial Hood Canal Shrimpers 
license....they are a deep 
water  species called spot shrimp 
http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/shelfish/shrimpreg/shrimpspot.htm
and they are delicious! We used to buy them 
fresh caught and frozen for $10/pound and they 
were worth every penny! I'd buy 20 pounds 
a year and ration them out over the course
of the year. They taste a bit like lobster.

-> -> Ever get surprised by the weather when you rode yur bike in the 
morning?
-> 
->  hn> More often than not! But I liked riding bikes and in those
->  hn> days aspired to being a bike racer when I grew up.
->  hn> I'd often get 40 or 50 miles a day on the weekends
->  hn> or during the summers. Met  a lot of good people
->  hn> that way and it made my time in France much
->  hn> more educational than many of my friends who
-> 
-> Sounds like it was a fun time.  Your own Tour de France without worry of
-> time trials and suchlike.
-> 
Most of the times I stayed within 50 miles of Chateauroux 
so I could make the trip out and back in a single day. Otherwise
I'd have to carry camping gear or enough money to stay 
somewhere overnight. on occaision I could catch a ride 
with someone I knew (parents of friends who rode also) and 
they'd drop us off somewhere and we'd ride back home from 
there. Still it's a good way to see a lot of country at a 
more enjoyable pace!
-> 
->  hn> only hung out at the snack bar on base.
->  hn> Not that I didn't put in my hours there as well! (grin)
-> 
-> Why am I not surprised? (G)
-> 
Closest thing to a malt shop to be found there!
Used to get the best vanilla cokes and milkshakes!

-> -> Some guys wouldn't, especially if they went over at an older age.
-> 
->  hn> I didn't wear one on base very often (grin) but
->  hn> out on the "economy" it's often smarter to
->  hn> blend in than stand out if you know what
->  hn> I mean!
-> 
-> I know exactly what you mean; I did it somewhat 
-> in Germany when we were there.
-> 
Thought you'd understand (grin)

-> -> Oh well; you had fun anyway.
-> 
->  hn> I did! Probably more than I ever
->  hn> had a right to! (grin)
-> 
-> Something to give you nice memories now.
-> 
Some good, some not so good!

-> ->  hn> I'm using a Rodale book right now for reference on our
-> ->  hn> dieting. "Prevention Magazine's Complete Nutrition Reference
-> ->  hn> Handbook", a fairly complete book that gives you a lot
-> ->  hn> of information to work with. No Glycemic index though.
-> 
-> -> That's where the other book may be more of a help.
-> 
->  hn> Lots of sources for glycemic index info now!
-> 
-> The book we got was our first good source--got it when we were in HI.
-> 
-> 
I have several charts saved as .pdf files and there's lots of 
resources on the web these days!
chat with you soon!
