Ärende: How does your garden grow?
==================================
Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I figure I'd better get them done now while I can.

-> Saw Santa today--will be making some modifications to his outfit this
-> year. I'll probably start on that NLT mid August or so. Should be easier
-> this year; I'm only taking one class this fall, not 3.

 RH> Definitely.  You'll only have half the homework, for one.

One third the homework with one class instead of 3. Two classes in the
spring.

->  RH> I don't think they're going anywhere.

-> Good sized kitchen too so Grandma can have lots of helpers for cookie
-> baking?

 RH> Yep, and an open floor plan with a big table.

One of these days I might have something like that. Not holding my
breath tho; it'll happen if and when it's supposed to happen.

->  RH> people shop daily for dinner, it wouldn't be a necessity.

-> Yes, an ice chest would work for keeping a small amount cool/cold. We've
-> done that enough while camping............

 RH> Or one of those dorm-size fridges.  Lots of European apartments have
 RH> those.

Even full sized houses don't have big fridges, stoves, etc. My "Aunt"
Hannah (probably actually a cousin, if you traced it back) had a big
house. The kitchen was a big room but had small (by American standards)
appliances. But her maid/cook could put together some really great
meals! Seems like a lot of newer American houses are being built with
small (spacewise) kitchens but with full size appliances. Something
wrong with this picture?

->  RH> Fast food when anything else is available, period....
-> To some people, it's a comfort to have something they're familiar with
-> in a strange place. That's not to say the fast food place in a "strange
-> place" can't have some strange items on the menu tho. Hopefully they
-> provide an English translation so a tourist wouldn't order deep fried
-> tarantualas in Mexico City for instance. (G)

 RH> Most likely.  If you don't know ask ... but deep-fried tarantulas
 RH> might be good...if they're edible.  Deep-fried locusts, I'm told, are
 RH> quite tasty.

I've not had either, but should be getting some Mexican cooking over the
next few weeks. (G)
