Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I'd forgotten about those.  When I get headaches, they're sinus or

-> Migraines can be really bad.  When we first got to GA, I was getting
-> them every couple of weeks, flooring me for about 6 hours after I
-> started with the meds.  Then I started taking a B complex and they've
-> not been nearly as severe or as frequent. Unfortunatly, I don't get the
-> aura to warn me; I just get slammed.

 RH> I've seen the effect, and even had two in high school.  God's way of
 RH> making sure I knew when I was well off.

I guess so.  Never did figure out why I was getting so many but I'm glad
we found something other than perscription drugs to ease them. Bought a
box of mixed pepppermint & spearmint teas the other night at Harris
Teeter.


-> Stuff them?  We're not going to GA this week end (foot surgery on Monday

 RH> Too bitty for that.  Slice and fry is more like it.

Sounds good.  The big eggplant we got went bad fast so no eggplant
parmesan out of it.


-> for Steve is taking longer to recover from than he anticipated) so I'll
-> probably do my eggplant then.  Most likely one dish for now, one for the
-> freezer.

 RH> OK - give.  I just hope it wasn't an ingrown toenail.

It was--one he's had trouble with since before I knew him.  It'll behave
nicely for a while, then flair up for a few months, then settle down
again.  A royal pain--in several ways (G) so let's hope the surgery this
time got enough of it to kill the problem area for good.

-> I'll eat either.  Last night I made a salad from my new Food Network
-> magazine.  It used all but half of the 4 (smallish) bell peppers I'd
-> bought at the farmer's market.  The other part, plus a banana pepper,
-> went into a saute of Italian sausage, pepper and onion.  Salad was less
-> than memorable; had dill (not one of Steve's favorites) and olive oil in
-> greater than needed quantities.  It also had tomato, cucuber, scallions,
-> fresh lemon juice and parsley.

 RH> Sounds OK to me, but then I like dill. I couldn't have survived living
 RH> with my father if I didn't.  Just talking about it makes me think of
 RH> the pickles in the fridge.


Steve wasn't crazy on dill when we first met.  He learned to enjoy dill
pickles but it has to be just a whisper in other things.

-> -> spinach is best with pepper vinegar--a taste I acquired on my first
 RH> trip
-> -> to NC but on collard greens.

->  RH> I'd take a crack at that.  It sounds good.

-> It is; it's a southern thing. (G)

 RH> I'll eat just about anything once, even Southern. (G)

Pickled okra?  It's good--and not slimy.

->  RH> (LOL)  Stereotype alert!  The only part of the state even close to
->  RH> that is Fairfield/Greenwich.  Those bits of the state are just New
->  RH> York 'burbs with a different ZIP code.  The rest of the state isn't
->  RH> even close.  There is too darned much asphalt though.

-> Sounds like what people think of when they hear NY--they think of the
-> city and not upstate. (G)

 RH> Pretty much.  A good chunk of western Long Island is like that too.
 RH> The part that isn't within commuting distance to New York City is
 RH> apparently nicer.

I usually tell people that north of Westchester County is the dividing
line.  It may have moved a bit northward over the year but there's still
lots to NY that isn't NY City.

-> Yes, and he snored!

 RH> Yeah well - just think of him as practice for a husband.

I had one who snored before I had a dog that did. (G)


-> Just rechecked--I goofed on the amount of olive oil.  We'll give it a
-> try again but omit the dill, sub basil.  I'll also use the normal amount
-> of olive oil and vinegar instead of the lemon juice it called for.

 RH> That sounds OK to me too.  I'm nothing if not flexible.

Gummy? (G)
