->  RH> It's too bad we're not closer; I have some vintage red glass
necklaces
->  RH> that look like Christmas.
-> 
-> Sigh!  Just a few (hundred) miles too far apart.  I've got a vest I made
-> some years ago that would probably work--sort of a red/green holly print
-> with a red liner.  I could always turn it inside out. (G)  Steve has
-> some red ties and a sushi print red vest with a solid red liner, again,
-> one I made--with a matching sushi print tie.  I don't think the sushi
-> print would be acceptable tho.
-> 
Santa likes sushi, as far as I know.  You can always paint your fingernails
red and let it go at that.  Take it off afterward if you can't stand nail
polish.  

-> I've also got a crazy necklace, a big
->  RH> honkin' thing, made of Christmas tree balls - those satin-covered
->  RH> things. They're little ones, but even so.
-> 
-> No, not for me.  The vintage stuff sounds good.  Probably just as well
-> we're not too close; I'd be raiding your stock, wspecially the gold
-> items.

Oddly enough, the gold stuff is what I have least of.  My personal
collecting jones is mid century copper.  
 
->  RH> Quite likely, or if the gringo knows to beg nicely for the real
thing.
-> 
-> Helpful to be fluent in Spanish or whatever native language (if other
-> than English).  My Spanish isn't fluent enough to discuss the finer
-> spicings of a house specialty, unfortunately---but it's more Spanish
-> than Steve knows. (G)

As in it doesn't take much?  I can read a fair bit and understand some, but
I don't think I could string a grammatical sentence together in it.
 
->  RH> Not to mention the fact that the wife has a nice set of sharp
->  RH> knives....
-> 
-> .............that he sharpens for me.  He was using my favorite chef's
-> knife the other day--had sharpened it recently & got a chance to see how
-> sharp he'd gotten it.
-> 
-> I made his day today--combination semi sweet and 60% cacao Ghiradelli
-> chips & black walnut chocolate chip cookies.
-> 
Oh nom,nom as the Icanhascheezeburger website would put it.
 
-> -> counter.  They've only been open a few weeks but if last Friday night
-> -> was an indicator, they're doing a brisk business.  For their sake, I
-> -> hope they can keep it going.
-> 
->  RH> Me too, if they're any good.  I love those hole in the wall places.
-> 
-> Same here, as evidenced by our favorite Korean place in HI.  This
-> Chinese place is in a newish shopping plaza development.  It has the
-> Lowe's grocery store, Ace Hardware, the Chinese place, saw a sign that a
-> tile shop is coming soon and basic stores built for several more shops.

It's good that stores are actually moving in.  The mall in the middle of
town here had For Rent signs in far more places than it should have.  Even
a dollar store closed.  I wasn't surprised by that one; it was so busy
(cough) that I always wondered how it could make rent.  Meanwhile a new,
much smaller one opened a few doors down.  
 
->  RH> Good idea.  I found smoked salmon spread in the green meat rack
here
->  RH> last Friday; I've been using that as a munchie.
-> 
-> That would work quite well.  How is it on a bagel?

I didn't have a bagel to find out, but cream cheese and smoked salmon is a
classic bagel topping.
 
->  RH> We got hit with real snow this time, but it all switched over to
rain
->  RH> to make a real mess.
-> 
-> Getting the system that's going/gone thru ost of the country?  We're
-> headed for the 20s again tonight.
-> 
Definitely.  We didn't break 35 today, as the high.  We may get that "warm"
tomorrow.
