Hi Hap,

OK, I got the impression (wrongly so) that your dad took leave every
fall and went to SC so your mom could put up her jellies.

Typical male, unless he's really into cooking, most guys have no clue as
to if the stove is gas or electric.

You lived in more of a rural area of SC than I did (and do) in NC.  When
I was a kid, I lived in a rural area with lots of black berries, rasp
berries and black caps for the picking.  Some strawberries but not as
plentiful and my dad's attempts to grow grapes were less than
impressive.

Your choice.  I do like having the bigger freezer for what I use it for.
Looks like next semester Steve will have a Tuesday night class (all
semester), I'll have a week end intenive in September and and a 7 week,
Thursday night class beginning in October.  Not quite the clatter bang
eat, clean up & get out the door on Thursday nights we had this past
semester but I'll still rely on the freezer if I've not had the time to
do much cooking some nights.

Find any yet?  I made an executive chef's decision and switched from
stuffed shells to eggplant parmisan at the picnic.  One dish was
polished off the same night I made it, not sure how long it took for the
other to vanish.
