Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Wendy's Chilli Medium.  I've got some true Mild stuff in the house.
 RH> It
->  RH> was fresh, on sale, and I had a short-dated coupon.  Even my mother
->  RH> liked it. On the upside, it made a great topping for turkey
 RH> burgers.
 RH> ->
-> Neither of my folks would touch it.  Steve's folks might go for a mild

 RH> Ack.  All the more for us then.

Kicked up a bit tho.  We were at the farmer's market this morning & saw
lots of tomatoes and peppers.  After we come back from GA, I'll get some
& make a batch of salsa.  I'll try something different--seed the
tomatoes and cook most of them down a bit before adding the other stuff.
See if I can make it chunkier.  I'll also put some peppers in vinegar
for putting on my cooked greens this winter.


-> one.  His one brother is a real hot head tho.  I usually go for medium
-> but this one was nowhere near that.  It would have gone well with your
-> turkey burgers too.

 RH> Glorified tomato sauce.

With chunks tho.  At the farmer's market, one vendor was asking me what
I do with bell peppers.  He (and other vendors) had a lot of green ones
that weren't moving.  Suggested pepper and onions with Italian sausage
or chicken & fajita seasoning.  Steve also suggested that he try to let
some ripen to red on the vine.

->  RH> Cafeterias can be fun, but not if you're always eating one.

-> Basically had no choice in college.  Company was always what made the
-> meal enjoyable tho.

 RH> Definitely.  It sure beat doing homework at the table.

Some students did that but it wasn't easy if you wanted to sit with
friends too. One time, spinach was served for supper.  One guy sat down,
looked at another's tray with a dish of spinach and commented "I see
they mowed the grass today."  It was early spring so we had no problem
understanding why he said that. (G)

->  RH> Rubber ball shrimp?

-> I don't even think they had that but remember, it's been quite a few
-> years since I was a student.  Another factor--private colleges don't
-> have the food budget state or public ones do.  For a long time the
-> school had it's own herd of dairy cows; they sold off the herd while I
-> was a student.

 RH> Oh well.  UConn still has one, but then they have a big agriculture
 RH> department.  They still make their own ice cream.

Big difference; I went to a school of about 1200 in a rural area.

->  RH> Good moocher then.

-> Was he ever!  Those big brown cocker spaniel eyes could melt a heart.
-> I'd not feed him at the table but know he did get fed there. (G)

 RH> Big brown pleasepleaseplease eyes.  Yep.  Mooch.

Not from me.  Steve was one of the ones that did it the most.
