Hi Hap,

-> At this stage of the game, yoou would have to ask Steve what kind of
-> stove it is/was. We sent it out to our son in law some time ago to use
-> when he goes hunting.

 HN> He filled me in on the make;
 HN> it was a GAZ model...

Figured he'd remember that. (G)

-> Steve got a mix of red savinas and habeneros that he used (with some
-> that were in the freezer) to make hot sauce last night. With the
-> stainelss steel pans, they don't absorb the sauce like the pores of the
-> Calphalon pans we used to have.

 HN> We're a bit cooler than normal for this
 HN> time of year, first snow has already
 HN> hit the mountains.

I'm just as happy with Indian summer. Don't want to see snow yet.


 HN> I use an enameled pot for making
 HN> my pepper sauces. Non reactive
 HN> surface and it does not take
 HN> any of the flavors or heat.

We found out the hard way about the Calphalon. It was while the girls
were still at home; one night shortly after Steve made the sauce, rachel
wanted to make tapioca. She used the same pot as he had; when it cooled,
she dished some up for us. That's when we found out that the pot
absorbed some of the hot sauce. I confirmed it when I made sauce and
meat balls several times after Steve made his hot sauce. He didn't
notice the extra heat to the spaghetti sauce as he usually spices his up
a bit. I thought it was a fluke the first time; after it happened other
times, I amentioned it to Steve. Spaghetti sauce with a bit of heat. Not
bad, just a different taste than what I was expecting.

->  HN> Oh I find lots of other houses...just
->  HN> have not found a way to purchase one!(grin)

-> I know; I'd like to find a house to buy. Trouble is, that means we'd
-> have to be in a place long enough to make it worth while. It could have
-> happened (but didn't) when we were in AZ & it would have been paid for
-> by now. Sigh!

 HN> Yes, but you had other fish
 HN> to fry at the time!

And miles to go before we got to Wake Forest. Turned over a shirt to
Santa yesterday & told him Steve anticipates graduating next December.
He's (Santa) is hoping we stay in the area so I can keep sewing for him.
(G)

-> I felt pure petite compared to some of the big mamas I saw in HI. Then
-> too, I saw a lot of mamas that made me feel big.

 HN> I'm losing...but not fast!

I need to lose some, and according to my recent labs, watch my fat and
carb intake. The latter will be harder to do than the former.

->  HN> Keep the eye on the prize!

-> We are, but the other eye is firmly rooted in the reality needed to
-> attain the goal.

 HN> Of course!

Lots of courses between now & them. (G)

-> -> antibiotics or not.
 HN> ->
->  HN> That is something that the dentist
->  HN> should be informed about...my neighbor
->  HN> across the street "forgot" to take his
->  HN> antibiotics before a dental visit and
->  HN> ended up with an infection in his hip
->  HN> bones and they almost didn't find a way
->  HN> to save his hips!

-> I'm sure it's probably been brought up but since we don't live that
-> close. we don't know when dental appointments, etc are scheduled. If
-> they happen to mention it. I'll ask if Dad takes antibiotics before the
-> visit.

 HN> Hope you get the right answer!

So do I, have to remember to ask.
