Careful of the beans though!

-> 
-> The freezer has been very useful this winter. I try to keep a stock of

-> and/or a vegetable to go along with but that's easily done as well.
->
I'm getting back on track, and this weekend
will add a couple more dishes to the freezer
for later in the week.

-> I'm not out of garlic but getting quite low. Next major trip to Raleigh

I'll be doing the same.

->
He always managed to slice it thinner
than I wanted (grin)!

-> I'm not stopping you. (G)  Give us a report.

If I remember when I'm at the store I

-> 
-> That's young!  Was he into some sort of heavy duty athletics that could

->
Not sure, probably genetics though, as
he'd been complaining for several years
and they just didn't want to do anything 
due to his young age...then it was a "HAVE
TO" situation.

I think she was always aware, but always
deferred to my dad's wishes, even when
they were nutz.

how

Yep, and they'll complain afterwards regardless.
chat with you soon!
