Hey there Ruth!
-> 
-> -> And in a few minutes, it will be Diez y Sies de Mayo--but this may not
-> -> go out until Diez y Siete.
-> 
->  hn> Well it's Mt St Helens day here, 30 years ago she
->  hn> blew her top and made a complete ash of herself!
-> 
-> I remember it; I was expecting Deborah at the time (She came about a
-> month later.)  and glad I wasn't out there making how to get to the
-> hospital just in case contigency plans.
-> 
Anne was pregnant with Amanda at the time, but
not due until Sept so we weren't too worried about
that aspect...and fortunately the wind was blowing
from west to east and most of the ash went that way!

-> ->  hn> It's certainly good on better bread, but
-> ->  hn> it's true comfortness seems to come out
-> ->  hn> when it's like it was when I was a kid! (grin)
-> 
-> -> My mom never made them.  Then, too, that's only one of a lot of 
"common"
-> -> things she never made.  But, I survived anyway. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Deprived childhood eh? (grin)
-> 
-> Some would say so.  Then, too, I got to experience the thrill of a
-> cheese sandwich made her way--a slice of "plastic" cheese between 2
-> slices of white bread, one of them having a smear of yellow mustard on
-> it.  That was one of the few alternatives to pb&j we got for school
-> lunches, about every ten days.
->
I used to have those as well, with mustard
on one slice and mayo on the other. Also used
to get cheese and jelly sandwiches, usually 
the jelly was apple jelly. Mom made a lot of
apple and grape jelly. The grapes were usually
muscadines, a native grape common in the
Carolinas...or they were when I was a kid back
in the 50's!
 
-> ->  hn> I could put one out on the patio, but it'd be
-> ->  hn> "uncovered" and exposed to the weather...and
-> ->  hn> we get lots of "weather" in the winter!
-> 
-> -> No garage or is it too stuffed full of other stuff?
-> 
->  hn> No garage, no roof over the patio.
-> 
-> You need to do some creative thinkng; there's got to be a niche for a
-> freezer somewhere in the house.
->
With just the two of us it's not that big
a priority anymore. If it were, I suppose
first I'd be looking for another fridge but
one with a bigger freezer.
 
-> ->  hn> I like calamari! even better if it's not
-> ->  hn> breaded !
-> 
-> -> I've always had it breaded.  Some places have had a heavier breading
-> -> than others--a light one is pretty good except when it comes off in the
-> -> dipping sauce. (G) We had a garlic/mayo/something or other and a
-> -> cocktail sauce.  The latter had just a bit of a "bite"; the former was
-> -> on the mild side (needed a breath or 2 more of garlic).
-> 
->  hn> I prefer it sauteed and not deepfried if I
->  hn> can get it...(not usual) and the proper
->  hn> seasonings make it a true delight of a dish!
->  hn> MUCH better than deepfried...but deepfried
->  hn> is the "popular" way for it and it's easily
->  hn> premade and frozen for restaurant use.
-> 
-> Got to give folks what they want--or most of them want it that way
-> anyway.
->
That's why I seldom order it unless I'm
at an asian place...they don't do too 
much breading..and they do squid 
in a lot of other ways!
 
-> ->  hn> with my lunch today I had just romaine
-> ->  hn> and butter lettuce in my salad...with
-> ->  hn> blue cheese bits on top! Simple Italian
-> ->  hn> dressing and YUM!
-> 
-> -> I'll take my blue cheese on the side or sub Parmesan and crutons & call
-> -> it a Caesar salad. (G)
-> 
->  hn> I like caesar salads, but then again I like most
->  hn> salads.
-> 
-> Pretty much the same here.
-> 
Tonight I'm making tzatziki and it
will go over falafel and grilled 
chicken with a green salad on 
the side. YUMMMM!
chat with you soon!
