========================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Let dead fish lie?  Not quite the same as letting sleeping dogs lie I
-> -> guess.
-> 
->  hn> most likely a good solution! Was at a
->  hn> wedding reception last night and had
->  hn> whole BRANZINO, some sort of
->  hn> European sea bass, boy was it gOod!!
->  hn> Very delicate and it came boned out with
->  hn> the heads still on! Also had Risotto with
->  hn> braised squid and squid ink! Envision black
->  hn> rice with very delicate and tasty squid
->  hn> bits all mixed in...so black you could not
->  hn> tell what you were eating (squid or rice)
->  hn> until you had it in your mouth!  We had
->  hn> so much and such a varied menu! We had
-> 
-> Sounds quite interesting--not the usual wedding reception fare.
-> 
Sure was good though!
-> 
->  hn> to leave before the dessert courses arrived!
-> 
-> Any idea of what that was going to be?
-> 
Can't remember, I was so full that I'm 
not sure I would have eaten any even
had we remained!

-> -> -> We didn't mind it.  What was fun tho, was on our trip back east in
-> -> -> summer of 2000. We noticed so many shades of green to everything!
-> 
->  hn> We don't mind the weather here, wet
->  hn> and grey for most of the winter, sunny
->  hn> and dry during the summers.
-> 
-> We're sort of adapting to NC weather. Steve is hoping this coming winter
-> won't be as cold as the one just past; he bundled up big time in the
-> house but was still cold a lot of the time.
->
We tend to keep the house cool 
during the winters..funny thing though
it's 67 in the house right now and that
feels cool to me...in the winter we usually
keep the house around 65 or so. 
-> 
-> -> -> The leaves are beginning to show hints of color here, breaking up the
-> -> -> green.  Hopefully we'll have as pretty a fall as we did last year.
-> -> -> Green is ok but I'm going into overload with it and want to get out to
-> -> -> the wide open (beige) spaces again.
-> 
->  hn> Should not be too long now should it?
->  hn> Stephen should be finished in another
->  hn> year or so, yes?
-> 
-> 
-> We're projecting a December of 2012 graduation date as of now.  Depends
-> on if he takes classes in the J-term and summer school or not.
->
Are you planning a big trip this year,
like last year? 
-> 
-> ->  hn> I get bored with the beige after a while.
-> ->  hn> I like the many greens we have here..
-> ->  hn> Good thing everyone doesn't have to
-> ->  hn> like what I like!
-> 
-> -> Same here. (G)  Also true about food too.
-> 
->  hn> Amen!! Although I would like
->  hn> it if Annie liked seafood a bit
->  hn> more!
-> 
-> And I think sometimes that Steve wishes that I would like things a
-> little bit hotter or that I like some things that I really don't like.
-> Then too, at times I wish he liked some foods he doesn't like so we
-> balance each other out. (G)  But we both really enjoy seafood.
-> 
-> 
Anne and I both enjoy a lot of things
together...just not fish! (grin)
chat with you soon!
