Hi Hap,

-> Well, we're scouting out a new location. TJ has some things we like but
-> no bulk bins.  It does have big chunks of Ghiradelli dark chocolate at a
-> decent price. (G)

 hn> They do have lots of nice little goodies...which
 hn> may be one reason I try to avoid the place (grin)

We don't get to them very often; when we do, it's a treat.  Sometimes
we'll just wander thru, knowing we can't carry perishables back home &
don't want to go over our weight limit with other stuff.

->  hn> Never can tell, but we live in hope!

-> He made more progress on a visit up there on thursday.

 hn> Good! Great!

It surprised even me.

-> -> hesitant, not knowing how much salt goes into the meat.

->  hn> Got it from a PBS show...my guess is
->  hn> that the show used a small tenderloin,
->  hn> and I used a loin roast, which is a larger
->  hn> diameter chunk of meat. I DO think I'll give

-> Sounds like a reasonable guess.

 hn> I'm thinking that must have been it.

After all, they don't have a whole lot of time to cook on those shows
nor a huge budget to buy huge pork roasts. (G)

->  hn> it one more try though as the roast did
->  hn> come out very nice! The salt forms a crust
->  hn> around the meat and very little goes into it
->  hn> at all...you simply brush it off when you

-> I've read of the technique but not tried it yet.

-> ->  hn> Grin, there's lots of things in my head!

-> -> Same here, most of them saying "You really need another month or so
 hn> to
-> -> get ready for Steve's retirement and your moving." which is true.  But,
-> -> then, I'd maybe want still another month and the voices wouldn't allow

We're finally making headway on getting ready. Still a bunch to do but
most all of the paper clutter is gone.


->  hn> Is Steve taking terminal leave or selling it back?

-> Combo of about 2 weeks terminal, selling back 50 days.

 hn> Always good to have that little financial "cushion" for
 hn> those unexpected things that come up that you
 hn> never expected!

And those you do expect--deposits for rent & utilities, quarters
cleaning, living as nomads for a time..............

->  hn> Good luck on the move!

-> Thanks. It seems there's still SO much more to be done but progress is
-> being made.

 hn> Step by step my dear and soon the task
 hn> will be done!

Like I said above, it's getting there.  I made a cherry pie today to use
up some frozen chopped cheries, frozen whole cherries and a few dried
cherries.  Just 4 more containers of foodstuffs in the (fridge) freezer
that need emptying before we pack out.  A few more disposable containers
are in there but I'm not worried about emptying those before the packers
come.
