Hi Michael,

 RH> We did have fun and no, we didn't put money into any casinos. David
 RH> and Rachel treated us to an Original Pancake House breakfast at one
 RH> tho.  It was good!  David and I each ordered the corned beef and cheese
 RH> omelette, him with cheddar & me with swiss.  They came with canned
 RH> corned beef (to be expected) but after trading bites, he agreed that
 RH> the swiss was a better choice of cheese.

 ML> I thought that no cheese would be better than any cheese. Of course
 ML> I bet that Steve didn't have cheese. Anyhow, canned corned beef is
 ML> not so bad - I just reminded myself of the taste of it (it's been
 ML> decades).

In this case, the cheese did add to the taste. I'm glad they didn't
offer a velveeta (platic) cheese option tho. As I recall, Steve had a
veggie with cheese omelette. I keep some Lact Aid in my wallet for the
unexpected (or sometimes planned) milk encounters so he had no problems
dealing with the cheese.


 RH> I've also heard that Amish women have at least one "mistake" in their
 RH> quilting projects to show that only God is perfect.  Interesting how
 RH> the same theory is so universal.

 ML> Other Ruth and I had a little riff on this. My take is that

Well, we both sew and quilt............


 ML> we're intrinsically imperfect, and anything we do, no matter
 ML> how skillful or well-intentioned, is imperfect, and studiously
 ML> adding imperfection is redundant.

We are imperfect, living in a fallen world.  But, lest I get into hot
water, I'll not get onto a soap box. Suffice it to say, I can't make
anything perfect--it can be almost but there's usually at least one flaw
to it.

 RH> So, some food goodies
 RH> and some nice other than food goodies for Christmas.

 ML> Great!

Yes, getting to see the kids was very good; getting to see Robert was
great! (G)

 ML> Here's something I might eat for breakfast -

 ML> ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01

 ML>       Title: New Potatoes with Salami & Sorrel
 ML>  Categories: Salads
 ML>       Yield: 2 servings

Interesting twist on potato salad.  BTW, when we got back to GA, our
neighbor gave us a box she'd been holding on to since just after we
left.  UPS delivered a package from my younger brother from The Dakin
Farm of pancake mix, a couple of cans of blueberries, a pound of maple
cured bacon and a couple of jugs of maple syrup.  It had a perishable
tag on it so she popped it into her fridge & called me to let me know
about it.  As I was repackaging the bacon into smaller portions
yesterday, Steve commented on how lean it looked.  I don't know if he
will try any or not but..............
