Hi Hap,


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

And I'm trying to get over bronchitis plus have some major school work
to get done. Had a week end class--were it not for the fact I need it to
graduate and it won't be offered again until next spring, I'd have
dropped it. So, today has been very low key.

->  HN> I put out a Christmas photo for
->  HN> many years, but when Amanda grew up

-> 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.

 HN> Have them all send the photos to him now!

His grand daughters keep him pretty well supplied with photos of their
kids; first grand son left the nest last year. I think their moms send
pictures as well. Every so often our girls (his only grand daughters)
skype him--which he really enjoys as he gets to see their kids.

-> Give me a diet coke or glass of water then, maybe lemonade if it's
-> available.

 HN> They had a very nice (made from
 HN> scratch) lemonade, and the full
 HN> run of soda dispensers..so you'd
 HN> have done alright in that dept.

Sounds like a winner. A couple of the hotels we stayed at in Israel had
squeeze it yourself orange juice. The line for that was long so we took
advantage of the pre squeezed so we could make our bus on time.

->  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.

 HN> I've never used it that way either.
 HN> One of my aunt's sent me a 5 pound
 HN> can of top quality Mennonite molasses
 HN> from Benton County Tenn...oi it was
 HN> so good! Still it took me almost 5
 HN> years to use it all!

I would have used it faster a few years ago but haven't used too much of
it up here. I don't bake as much, which is where I use it the most.

->  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.

 HN> We have a VERY large Korean community
 HN> here, within two miles of my house
 HN> I can think of about 8 HUGE Korean
 HN> churches..and then there are the
 HN> Korean Markets and restaurants!

We've only seen the one restaurant (another one went out of business) in
Raleigh but several Asian markets. I've picked up a few things at one of
them, Steve has gone to another. Nothing of that sort in Wake Forest
tho.
