 NB>> Ah.  That makes a little more sense... Hey, if you're in NY, how far
 NB>> from Rochester are you?  I thought family was somewhere close to here?
 NB>> Maybe we could connect at some point?  :)

 RH> We're about 50 miles west of Rochester right now. The best time to get
 RH> together would probably be Friday or Saturday.  Actually, we were
 RH> thinking of taking the car in for a 5000 mile check up on Friday.  The
 RH> best way to get in touch would be e-mail
 RH> (hafflys[at]earthlink[dot]net) or call his sister's place & leave a
 RH> message if we're not in (585-638-5763).  Tomorrow will be busy with
 RH> family pretty much most of the day; Friday is probably your best bet
 RH> and we'll be free all day as far as we know.
 
It was a nice thought, while it lasted... ;/  My Friday went haywire,
and Saturday followed suit... By now, you are probably on your way back
home again... and my schedule hasn't really lightened up, either. 
Another time, maybe.  :)

 RH>> BTW, the "secret ingredient" is usually a good squeeze of spicy brown
 RH>> mustard; today I had to settle for a small dollop of yellow mustard.
 NB>> What they don't know won't hurt them... ;)   Sounds tasty... :)

 RH> It is good, especially with the spicy brown mustard and whole wheat
 RH> macaroni.  I had no choice but to use white pasta and yellow mustard

Have to use what is at hand.  :)

 RH> yesterday.  Robert helped me by adding the cheese and then stirring
 RH> the cheese sauce as I added a bit more milk to thin it out.  He then
 RH> got to lick the spoon. (G)

He's learning the perogatives of the cook... ;)

 RH> My parents, and especially my dad, don't go for anything more than
 RH> basic salt and pepper as their main spicing.   Anything else is used in
 RH> extremely small quantities so I have had to go easy on the spices when
 RH> I cook for them.  I think the mustard adds a subtle enhancement to the
 RH> cheese sauce; something I have been doing for years. (G)

Spices used judiciously enhance, even for those who don't normally add
them... especially if they don't know that anything "abnormal" is there. 

 RH> ... There cannot be a crisis today; my schedule is already full.

What an appropriate tag... (G)

ttyl       neb

... Press any key to continue, any other key to quit...
