Hi Hap,

-> I pressure can the full jars, did this run at 5 lbs pressure for 10
-> minutes.  In AZ it was 10/10 because we were about a mile in elevation.
-> This time I held back some tomatoes, onions, garlic & pepper for a
-> "second dump" and cooked everything about 45 minutes more after that. I

 hn> With that much processing the onions
 hn> and garlic would be fairly cooked
 hn> anyway I'd think! It make make a
 hn> difference in the taste however, I
 hn> hope you'll let us know if it does!

I will, but I won't get around to making the salsa until Tuesday.  This
week end is busy with class (half today, half tomorrow), church &
related on Sunday, usual Monday stuff plus baking bread & meeting with
Wake Forest Santa.  Tuesday I'll get it done, amidst studying for a
final & working on a short paper.  Final is on line, to be taken by
midnight, Friday & paper is due on the 24th.


->  hn> I'm positive your's would be much
->  hn> better! I do wonder if it would make
->  hn> a difference if the peppers had the

-> The stuff I got at WFM is really good but I'll see if Steve wants to try
-> making some.  Have to see which peppers he smoked in addition to the
-> jalapenos.

 hn> Please do!

That'll be worked out over the next few days.  Dave Drum sent me a
couple of recipies for chili powder; I'll look them over & then make one
based on one of those, but maybe tweak it here & there.

->  hn> with...but I usually manage to finish the meal!!

-> I usually finish too, unless it's just so hot that I can't.

 hn> That seldom happens, but when it
 hn> does it's worth the risk!

Not to me.  I can't enjoy something if it's so hot I taste nothing but
heat. It's a waste of money at that point.

-> -> I've a friend like that.  Bell peppers are as spicy as she goes. (G)

->  hn> that's my Annie! (grin)

-> My parents are like that too. No sense of adventure to their eating.

 hn> Anne has the sense of adventure
 hn> just can't take the "heat"!

This friend and my parents both lack the sense of adventure. Her husband
likes some heat so we took them to a Korean hole in the wall place in
HI. She ordered kim chee (I didn't realise or would have warned her.);
they both ordered teriyaki steaks as they were on special.  First and
last trip they made to any Korean place while over there.  They like
American version of steak & potatoes, not Korean.

->  hn> next summer..unless Amanda
->  hn> finishes up her PhD before then!

-> Does it look likely? She's been there a good while but you can't rush
-> field research.

 hn> Depends on how much data she gets this
 hn> year and whether it is significant enough
 hn> for her to finish off her dissertation. I'm
 hn> hoping yes, but have no way of guessing
 hn> one way or the other. She's secured
 hn> funding (two fellowships and a grant)
 hn> for another year if she needs it.

Good to have the funding and not need than to have need, but no funding.

 hn> And I "think" she's already started
 hn> to put out feelers for post doctoral
 hn> positions. I know of two, one in
 hn> Panama under the Smithsonian Inst.
 hn> and one in New Zealand...but don't
 hn> know if she's interested in either of
 hn> those..Panama is HOT!!

You're hoping she gets a position in Washington State, right, Dad?

->  hn> today is the first day of school with
->  hn> kids, so we'll see how she makes it
->  hn> through the first week!

-> Hopefully it'll go OK for her.  Keep an eye/ear open for signs of
-> trouble and make a record for her workman's comp claim.  I presume that
-> stays open until a full and final resolution is made.

 hn> So far so good...she has a couple
 hn> of appointments this month, and
 hn> another "evaluation" by the
 hn> L&I doctor; this time a neurologist.

Hopefully all will go well.

->  hn> I have my appointment today.

-> So you'll let us know the outcome of it.........

 hn> HAh! " I'm unable to see what's
 hn> causing your pain at this point."

Sounds about like me & my foot.

 hn> The dead spot that was on one
 hn> bone (femur) has disappeared, and

Good.

 hn> a "bone bruise" has appeared on
 hn> the tibia just below where the
 hn> dead spot was.

Not good.

 Increased blood
 hn> flow all over the place, and so

Good.
