Hi Janis,

That's good, don't want you being a dizzy blonde at the picnic.  Some
folks (Steve being one of them) get auras before a migraine comes on; I
just get slammed with a mild headache all of a sudden turning
excruciatingly painful.

 JK> Hey, that's good :) :)

Yes; I've got to get some today. I'm trying to do a decent clean up on
the house as my in laws are coming for a couple of days next week.  We
talked to them last night & found they are coming 2 days earlier than
originally anticipated.  The kitchen looks fairly decent but other areas
need some work yet.  Guess I'll get some chocolate for an energy boost.

 JK> I buy Muir Glen Organic tomatoes usually.. Often, they'll have
 JK> Italian Peeled Tomatoes but all of their tomatoes are great.

I've bought those at times; they are good.  Sometimes the commissary
will carry them but it's mostly Hunt's for the organics.

 JK> Heh.. the house isn't _that_ drafty (g)..  but it was built in about
 JK> 1870 or 90 or some such.. its dated on the front of the house, and I
 JK> can never remember that darned date (laugh).. but anyway, I'm sure you
 JK> get the idea.. :)  Large windows.. high ceilings (that have mostly
 JK> been lowered)..

Sounds like the old apartment we lived in , in NC when we were first
married. It was converted from a hotel & had the 10' ceilings.  Most of
the windows faced out to the covered porch (about 10' wide, all covered)
so we called it the "dungeon" at times.  That's where I learned to cook
on gas.

>> Yup, know what you mean there.. :)

 JK> > Sounds like you've had some "bricks" too. (G)

 JK> hehe.. like the one when the Zojirushi decided to only mix in all the
 JK> ingredients on _one_ side of the breadmachine? that was a mess haha..

Mine hasn't done that yet. So far, the biggest trouble had been getting
an even loaf--one side is usually a bit higher than the other.  Steve
added a few drops of extra water the other day and it came out even but
about as flat as an aircraft carrier on the top. (G)


>> (horrors!) "SomeBody's Italian Bread Crumbs", but they're ALL so bad
>> lately.. do you know they ALL got HFC in them? I couldn't believe it..
>> that's why I started making my own breadcrumbs last year pretty much.

 JK> > Whatever is this world coming to?  HFCS in bread crumbs? (GAG!)

 JK> It's in everything.. that's why my daughter has to make every single
 JK> thing she makes for her family with their allergies to soy, corn and
 JK> everything else..

And that's why we're maiking a of of things again like we used to. I'm
getting pickier about label reading and if I see HFCS, it usually stays
on the shelf.
