Hi Hap,

->  hn> Oooh! A Holy Land tour? I did one of those
->  hn> in 1962 when I was 13...Rome->Athens->Beirut->
->  hn> Jerusalem-> Cairo->Rome-> Paris-> Chateauroux (home).

-> BINGO!  This will just be Israel.  All meals are included; hopefully it
-> won't be American stuff all the time (or even most of the time) but a
-> good bit of authentic to the region type foods.  It's a "fly, motor
-> coach, fly home" sort of trip.

 hn> Very very worth the effort! Hope you have a
 hn> great time!
 hn> take lots of photos!!

Looking forward to it.  I'm sure Steve will take lots of pictures; we're
down to one digital camera now.  I might grab it now and then for some
shots, or pick up an inexpensive one for myself.
->  hn> Yep, a welcome relief after teaching kidlets
->  hn> all day. Fluff reading is undervalued.

-> At least it's better than Harliquin romances. (G)  I'll take "Cat Who"
-> books any day above them.

 hn> When I was a partner in a bookstore, my partner
 hn> wanted to cater to the harlequin crowd..which
 hn> eventually led to the demise of the store as
 hn> most of the readers only came in with their
 hn> lists to see if we had any they had not read.
 hn> Unless we did, they didn't buy anything else!


Hopefully you kept enough titles (and enough new ones) to keep the
customers happy.  I need to make a list of our Veggie Taless DVDs so I
don't buy any repeats.  Can't get enough of Larry Boy and Bob the
Tomato.  The French Peas are cute too. (G)
-> I'm just as happy with the pressure cooker.  I have memories of my mom
-> trying to peel the pumpkins one year (before she got her freezer)  while

 hn> I never peeled them, bake em and scoop
 hn> out all the "meat" and it's done! Easy peasy!
 hn> But then again...I never had a pressure cooker!

Back in 1980, when he stated working for the NEX on Cherry Point, Steve
got me both a 50 quart and an 8 quart pressure canners.  We used the
larger one a number of times but once he went into the Army, I couldn't
can as much as I did in civilian life.  Sold the bigger one to somebody
in a food services job but kept the smaller one.  Its been all over the
place with our moves, and used everywhere.  I wouldn't give it up for
anything!  I don't do much pressure cooking but use it mostly for
"putting up" times.  It has paid for itself long ago with the use I give
it.
