Hi Janis,

 JK> > story with a much bigger kitchen than what we have now.  It will
 JK> have > lots of storage for all my kitchen "toys". (G)

 JK> I know what you mean there :)  and it seems no matter how much you
 JK> plan for those toys, they still seem to grow beyond the space you alot
 JK> for them :) :) We're considering now doing an additional rack of
 JK> shelves for glassware so I can move some of my dish collection to
 JK> where the glassware was, so I can move some of my countertop
 JK> appliances to where the dishes were..so I can move.... Lol.. well I
 JK> think you get my drift (grin).

I know what you mean; I wish I could do the same. I've got to do some
reworking of areas tho to free up some book shelf space.

>> house.. I remember at one point we gave up our bedroom to the
>> computers (haha) since we needed to set up so many of them for various

 JK> > That's a lot of computers! I've had to put my sewing machine in our
 JK> bed > room but it's not taken over the room.


 JK> Yeah, we've always had toooooo many :)  But that's because once we
 JK> decided to do computer programming for a living, we knew we'd have to
 JK> stay on top of the latest greatest pretty much (grin).  That and we've
 JK> always had our heads in more in than one operating system from way
 JK> back.  We'd have to have at least two systems as well for the two of
 JK> us just to work, as well.. Ron has about 5 systems upstairs running in
 JK> a spare room over my head (grin) and this room has our two main
 JK> systems in it and our CD rom/printer/copier for distribution. This
 JK> room is pretty packed though (g).

We've got part of one room devoted to computers. It also has our futon
(guest bed) and some of Steve's military issue things that he doesn't
use every day.

>> place now.. they just need an extra room and there's no way around it

 JK> > Do they own it or are they renting? If they own, are there expansion

 JK> They're renting the house they're in now.. They're both going to grad
 JK> school .. or at least her husband is right now, maybe she's going to
 JK> start later.. not sure what their plans are there :)   So anyway, I
 JK> think they'll probably have to look for another place if they can't
 JK> figure out a way for this one to work.. it's a nice little house
 JK> too... it has a very large basement.. but my daughter doesn't want to
 JK> put any of the boys down there to sleep... which I can
 JK> understand.

I see. Rachel and David are beginning to look again, now that a baby is
on the way.


>> I didn't have any coconut flakes ... and I decided to use coconut oil
>> instead of "plain shortening".. boy, it was still so good (g).

 JK> > Looks like it would work for me. I'd probably put coconut on half
 JK> (for > Steve), leave half plain (for me). (G)  But we'd probably have
 JK> to eat it > at every meal too since it's just us 2.

 JK> Yep, we finished that one, and Ron said, 'sooooo??? are you going to
 JK> make another??'  so I did haha :)  This time, I did pick up a package
 JK> of coconut for it.. I included it in the cake as the recipe called for
 JK> it.. but I've decided I like it better without the added coconut in
 JK> the cake (Ron likes it both ways (g)).

Cute!  But, it gave you a chance to try it both ways and compare while
the memories of the first were still fairly fresh.
