Hey Ruth!

Weekend is here, trying to catch up a 
bit on the echo among other things!

-> ->  HN> tries to figure out what the next
-> ->  HN> shot will be! Old shooters saying:
-> ->  HN> "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail".
-> 
-> -> That's something Steve quoted quite a few times once he hit senior
NCO
-> -> status too, expecially when he was serving as a First Sergeant. (G) 
Dad
-> -> always wanted to do the test shot which took time, making us more
-> -> "testy" but we had to go along with it. He started doing the annual
-> -> photo the year my older brother was born; the last one he took was
the
-> -> year before Steve and I got married.
-> 
->  HN> I put out a Christmas photo for
->  HN> many years, but when Amanda grew up
->  HN> and went off to college it was not
->  HN> as much fun anymore...we still do it
->  HN> but it's not as much of a "big deal" as
->  HN> it used to be!
-> 
-> I think my dad wouldn't mind doing one of all his grand kids and great
-> grand kids but doubt he'll ever get the opportunity.
->
Have them all send the photos to him now!
 
-> ->  HN> I did have a double scotch one night
-> ->  HN> though.
-> 
-> -> I'd have gone for the fruit punch without the rum, especially if it 
had
-> -> fresh fruit in it.
-> 
->  HN> You'd have been disappointed! The tropical
->  HN> fruit rum punch was premixed with the juice
->  HN> and the rum already combined...they just had a
->  HN> big dispenser for it.
-> 
-> Give me a diet coke or glass of water then, maybe lemonade if it's
-> available.
->
They had a very nice (made from
scratch) lemonade, and the full
run of soda dispensers..so you'd
have done alright in that dept.
 
-> -> We mostly use regular molasses; tried some unsulphered once and that 
was
-> -> enough. (G)
-> 
->  HN> I like molasses...sort of a comfort
->  HN> food for me.
-> 
-> I like it baked into cookies, gingerbread, that kind of stuff but not as
-> a sweetener for my tea.
->
I've never used it that way either.
One of my aunt's sent me a 5 pound
can of top quality Mennonite molasses
from Benton County Tenn...oi it was
so good! Still it took me almost 5
years to use it all!
  
-> -> -> By now you have probably read the note I wrote to Michael last 
night,
-> -> -> describing the Korean place we went to. First time visit for us
but
-> -> -> hopefully not the last time; it was good food!
-> 
-> ->  HN> Have not seen it, but I've been skimming
-> ->  HN> the echo as things are a bit busy these
-> ->  HN> days.
-> 
-> -> In a nutshell--most authentic according to a Korean classmate of
mine.
-> -> Steve concurred and we do plan to go back. Started with 9 different
-> -> small sides put down, as we were eating, a 10th was added and a
couple
-> -> were replenished. Didn't go away hungry.
-> 
->  HN> I took Michael to one of my favorites
->  HN> on one of his visits here...I think we
->  HN> were the only non Koreans in the place!
->  HN> I love all the little "condiment" dishes
->  HN> they put out, I have no idea what they are
->  HN> but they sure are fun to eat!
-> 
-> There weren't too many "round eyes" in this place either. We knew what
-> some of the condiments were but had to ask on others. One was little
-> tiny anchovies fried in oil--a bit strong for me. A couple of kim chees
-> (cabbage & cucumber), a daikon pickle, some good, others not so great
-> but a good meal overall.
->
We have a VERY large Korean community
here, within two miles of my house 
I can think of about 8 HUGE Korean
churches..and then there are the 
Korean Markets and restaurants!
 
Chat with you soon!
