-> -> I've probably got all but the last.  I think I've got a recipe in my

-> 
->  RH> That sounds promising.  It's a cookbook I don't have around to
check.
-> 
-> It dates back to before Steve went into the Army.  He got it (at my

-> 
No wonder.  Vintage cookbooks are sometimes the best source for the
oddballs.

->  RH> Oh well.  Ever tried the coconut milk ice cream?  Coconut milk
yogurt
->  RH> is pretty good, if slightly odd.
-> 
-> I wouldn't even give it a taste, most likely.  It's one of the foods I
-> don't like.  OTOH, Steve likes it; think he's had the ice cream but not
-> yogurt.  We've got a couple of cans of the milk on our shelf; he was

Thai noodles?  They work well with coconut milk.  
 
-> -> Grass is beginning to grow where it wasn't when we first moved here.
-> -> The hosta is in a bed right by the front porch/door.
-> 
->  RH> Sounds like a good idea; you don't have to mow hosta.
-> 
-> Actually, when it died, Steve ripped it out.  Don't know how much of the
-> root system he got--we'll see in spring.
-> 
Awww - it's a useful plant.
 
->  RH> Next spring I won't need a Christmas tree.
-> 
-> But you'll still have the coffee tree you can't hardly move.

True, and next year I'll have a Christmas tree again.
 
-> -> I know; I think we'll have some lunches on our own.
-> 
->  RH> Ask the cab drivers where they go to eat.
-> 
-> Who can afford a cab?  This is a student trip.
-> 
Ah - a starving student special.

Salt content.

Pretty much.  I got word back once from Carol when she found the bin of
coupons in her commissary, but I never knew if they included the ones I
sent.

Or whatever noise guinea pigs make.
