Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> Well Dave does not have to market them
-> ->  hn> and still make a profit.
-> 
-> -> True. But when I buy it in bulk at Whole Foods Market, Brighter Day (in
-> -> Savannah) or Down to Earth (in Aiea), it wa always good; again, better
-> -> than the national spice name.
-> 
->  hn> I think the "national" brands often have a few
->  hn> fillers in em...just to boost the profit margin
->  hn> a bit. Dave's is 100% Good stuff!
-> 
-> I rather much suspect so myself. (G)
->
I understand the marketing rational, but 
dislike it on principle. I hate paying freight
on "empty goods". 
 
-> ->  hn> Too much, too often makes any dish
-> ->  hn> off putting!
-> 
-> -> Pretty much so. That's why I don't eat peanut butter any more. It was
-> -> off putting after a couple of years and having it forced on me for many
-> -> more years, made it even more off putting.
-> 
->  hn> What about peanut brittle? Roasted peanuts?
->  hn> Thai peanut sauce?
-> 
-> Yes, yes, and no, not really had it as it is usually made with pb.
->
Interesting...verrry interrrrresting! (said in my
bet Artie Johnson voice)
 
-> ->  hn> None of us are into skype, so no we
-> ->  hn> don't video chat, but we talk at least
-> ->  hn> once a week. We have the same cell
-> ->  hn> plans so we can talk all day without charge.
-> 
-> -> But you're not running down the phone battery with Skype. (G)
-> 
->  hn> This new phone seems to never run out of charge!
->  hn> I recharge it every week anyway!
-> 
-> You must not talk long. Steve recharges his every night as he uses it as
-> an alarm & the cradle for that is a charger.  I do mine about every 5
-> days, more often if I've talked a lot.
->
I use it regularly, but not extensively. Probably
less than 30 minutes a day total. I had not charged 
it in a week and a half...and yesterday noticed that 
finally one of the little "segments" in the charge 
indicator had finally gone "dark"...I'll charge it 
today!
 
-> ->  hn> She had the appointment today, the
-> 
-> ->  And her doctor will pass the word on to you?
-> 
->  hn> Her next appointment!
-> 
-> Hopefully not too far down the road.
->
Next week I think. I have a dr's
appt tomorrow for the "second opinion"
on my wonky knee. 
 
-> ->  hn> Nope anything strong enough to make
-> ->  hn> a bone bruise would be something that
-> ->  hn> you'd not be able to ignore or forget!
-> 
-> -> It doesn't have to be a heavy hit sometimes, believe me!
-> 
->  hn> I don't bruise easy, and anything that would
->  hn> cause a bruise on the bone would surely show
->  hn> up as a contusion on the skin as well I think.
->  hn> None such has been seen...
-> 
-> OK, just asking. I bruise somewhat easier, thanks to some of my meds.
-> Still, there are a lot of times when one will show & I've no recall of
-> what I did to get it.
->
Anne has been like that her whole life.
She's an "easy" bruiser she can bump
into a chair and not notice it..but come
up with a bruise for the effort. Me you can
whack me with a 2X4 and it won't leave
a mark...but please don't! (grin)
-> 
->  hn> Just spent the better part of the day making
->  hn> some dishes for one of Anne's coworker's
->  hn> husband...he's having a second bout
->  hn> with Cancer and Chemo is totally
->  hn> knocking him for a loop this round. Made
-> 
-> My sympathies.  Are all the teachers going in on a "send a meal or 2"
-> plan?
->
Some are making meals...others might
but I would not eat what they made anyway! 
Too much salt and carbs! Did not even eat
what I made (too many carbs) other than
tasting to make sure it was "right". I made the
chicken noodle casserole in a big Lasagna type
pan so if she has folks over she has something
to feed everyone, and the mac and cheese is in
three diffent containers so she can use them as
she needs them. Since her hubby is not eating well,
I made both dishes a bit calorie rich by using butter
and half and half instead of milk. 
 
->  hn> a big Chicken noodle casserole and a triple
->  hn> recipe of mac and cheese (with bacon).
->  hn> We just got back from delivering it. Hope
->  hn> it makes their day a bit easier!
-> 
-> It should; sounds like you made enough for left overs.  That will be
-> very much appreciated on days that cooking is just too much work.
-> 
And from what I understand they are 
a bit of comfort food for them and that
may entice him to eat a bit more. 
chat with you soon!
