Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Did you know HE could cook?

-> Yes, because I knew he lived on his own about a year before we got
-> married.  He was also on his own for a few months a couple of years
-> before that.

 RH> That doesn't always mean anything.  These days guys often cook out of
 RH> box.


Remember, this was the early to mid 70s when not as much food was
convenience type.  Home microwaves weren't on the market yet and where
he was, there weren't any handy fast food places.


->  RH> They were labeled, but we all know nobody reads.  My pastor's back

-> Then there's no way they could plead ignorancce.  Probably it was an
-> instance where the chocolate won out over the exotic, nuts.

 RH> It wouldn't surprise me.  The pecan ones went faster.

Pecans are a known item, very easily recognised.


->  RH> I did it with ground turkey the other night.  It wasn't "real"
 RH> chilli
->  RH> but tasted good once I added enough hot sauce to my own bowl.
 RH> ->
-> I made my usual last night, spiced to Robert's level.  It went over big
-> time with everybody.  Deborah picked out her kidney beans but Robert
-> took them in exchange for his tomatoes.

 RH> I generally like kidney beans, but tomato chunks leave me rather cold.

I try to go easy on the beans but go for the tomato big time.  I've
found, tho, by grabbing a Lact-Aid, the enzymes in that work as well as
Bean-O on the beans.  We always have the former around, handy for more
than just dairy products.

 RH> Pineapple chunks as dessert on the other hand....  I do have to watch
 RH> out for those; the high acid content isn't a good match for my mouth!

Only time it bothers me is if I have canker sores.  I wasn't overly fond
of pineapple as a kid but it grew on me.  The years in HI gave me a
chance to try (and enjoy) the low acid ones--nice and sweet.

->  RH> The mint tasted like cough drops.  It's gellied but not like a
 RH> gummy
->  RH> bear. I've always liked it, especially the pistachio version.
 RH> ->
-> Yes, the mint is a bit out of place but a light, maybe spearmint might
-> have worked.  Rose water or the pistachio would probably be the most
-> authentic flavors.

 RH> They're both from that part of the world.  They flavor things with
 RH> rose petals in India too, so it didn't seem too strange to me.  The
 RH> mint chunks would have gone nicely with a cup of green tea though,
 RH> come to think

And you left them there.......................
