Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Or use both, on occasion.

-> Yes, as I've translated some recipies into metric as I've typed them in.

 RH> I can do that sometimes, but have to think about it.  Makes the
 RH> Aussies happy.

It's pretty much done without thinking for me. Living almost 6 years in
Germany helped.

-> But you wouldn't trade her back at this point.

 RH> Nope - she's our ketchup and hot dog disposal.  Gotta get rid of those
 RH> somehow.

Most kids at that age are peanut butter freaks.

->  RH> Oh well.  I tried.

-> Yes, it's that I'm so used to having them there.  When they were being
-> resized, I got out some inexpensive rings I'd gotten here & there and
-> wore them.

 RH> That's about all I have.  I do have a few gold ones, but most are
 RH> sterling. A few are costume; I go for the really outlandish ones.

I've got small hands--size 5 or 5 1/2 ring and small elsewiseso smaller
rings look better on my fingers.  I've got a cute one I picked up for a
dollar at a yard sale in  Savannah--yellow gold with a small diamond in
it.  Perfect fit too, surprisingly.


-> -> had a laugh and glad that we enjoyed it.  He gave a couple of peppers
-> -> bonus with our purchase of some sugar snap peas and a bell pepper

->  RH> Cool.  Around here, no bonuses.

He had thrown in a bonus several times--we're repeat customers.

-> This one goes until November, restarts I think in April.  I think the
-> one in Raleigh is year round but more inconvenient for us.

 RH> The one in town only operates for a few months.  Shorter growing
 RH> season.

Yes, I'm enjoying the longer season here. Picked another tomato today.

->  RH> I wish!  It does cut down on the roadside garbage though.  They've
->  RH> just added it to water bottles too.

-> Yes, the road side waste is cut down a bit.  Now if they could go backto
-> using paper bags instead of all the plastic............

 RH> Here they're going to all reusables, or trying to.

Whole Foods Market does, or has paper if you don't bring (enough) bags.
They give a ten cent per bag brought credit when you check out.  We're
building up a good collection of bags.


->  RH> I usually buy the pizza dough pre-mixed; my local supermarket sells
->  RH> some good stuff.  Sometimes I even find whole wheat.  I don't like

-> We've been making our own crust for over 30 years now.

 RH> I used to have someone in the house who didn't even like pizza.  I've
 RH> eaten it and fish a lot more since Dad died!

My dad was against pizza on a regular basis while I was growing up.  Now
he and mom buy a lot of the small frozen ones so mom won't have to work
too hard to fix some meals.  They've gone to a lot of convenience foods
because of her severe rheumatiod arthritis--but they aren't good for
blood pressure or diabetes, other issues they have to deal with.

->  RH> And if they made it taste good, we'd buy it again.

-> Farmer's market.  We bought some sorgum syrup that had been boiled down
-> the night before on our latest foray.  Go for the organics.

 RH> I'd have gone for that too.  That's about as fresh as you can get.

Yes, and it was the last week this couple will be at the market until
spring.
