====================
Hi Ruth,

-> 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.

 RH> Good idea.  Might as well give it a shot.  You can't lose much except
 RH> the price of the tea.

True. We didn't go to Savannah but Steve found an Asian market in
Raleigh.  He checked it out after his doctor's appointment on Monday;
when I fussed at him for store wandering after the work on his toe, he
said that it was numbed and he didn't feel anything.  But he was hurting
big time that night.  Anyway, that market had the ginseng tea in the
form he was looking for.  The company has gone to cardboard packaging
instead of the wooden boxes we got in GA tho. Sigh!

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

 RH> Eggplant compost?

Trashed. Got a couple smaller ones--one striped, one regular at the
farmer's market yesterday.  Tomorrow night we'll do a side by side taste
test; both will be dredged in flour, egg & bread crumbs, then fried. I'm
not expecting too much of a difference in taste.

->  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

 RH> The last time I had one of those I got it loose myself.  I must have
 RH> done it right because it hasn't been back.

Want to do the same to Steve's if this doesn't work? (G) It could get
expensive now that he doesn't see military doctors anymore.

->  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.

 RH> Part of that is what you're raised with.  Then again he won't eat pork
 RH> either.  He really wouldn't have survived long with my dad.

He's eating pork now.  Just took a while to get over the phobia. Moving
back to eastern NC bbq may have cured it. (G)

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

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

 RH> Never had it.  Sounds OK at worst; pickled veggies are generally good.
 RH> Or gone.  (slurp!)

I like it; Steve's not as fond of it but he's not too crazy for okra
either.  Coated in corn meal & fried is the best way to serve it (other
than pickled).

-> 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.

 RH> Westchester and New Fairfield to the east.

Upstate is so much nicer! Our preaching pastor & his dad went to the
Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony/HofF last week.  They're from
GA so were nicely surprised at how pretty the countryside in NY is. (G)

->  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)

 RH> So the husband was practice for the dog in your case.

One can be stopped easier than the other--guess which one.

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

-> Gummy? (G)

 RH> Gumby, when the allergies/sinuses aren't acting up and setting off
 RH> headaches every time I bend over.

I was thinking of the gummy worms. They're pretty flexible too.
