Hi Hap,

-> -> 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.

 HN> I sure to enjoy the chances I get to
 HN> G-chat (gmail) with Amanda! I feel very
 HN> Dict Tracy-ish!

Dick Tracy had the 2 way wrist radio--add to it what a computer can do
now and you'd have quite the gadget. Don't know if it would be small
enough (yet) to fit on a wrist but the way technology is going, it won't
be long.


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

->  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> This was a very nice Embassy Suites, made
 HN> to order breakfasts and a very nice buffet
 HN> line as well. Lots of juices (no tomato though!)
 HN> and the coffee was pretty good too.

I'd have Steve judge the coffee. (G) Don't remember what hotel it was
when we went to Virginia Beach a couple of years ago for the get togethe
at Carol's but it had a decent breakfast spread. Not like our hotels in
Israel tho; they were really good. The first one was jaw dropping in its
variety of (non meat) options--breads, fruits, cheeses, the always
present hummus....................

->  HN> can of top quality Mennonite molasses
->  HN> from Benton County Tenn...oi it was
->  HN> so good! Still it took me almost 5

-> 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 used it mostly on pancakes, waffles
 HN> and biscuits...I personally never used
 HN> it for baking, but it would have worked.
 HN> Had I thought of it! (grin)

Baking is one of the first considerations I'd have made. Pancakes and
waffles get real maple syrup; biscuits get ham, butter, jelly, honey,
etc.

->  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.

 HN> I went in search of some gelatin
 HN> type of "cake" at Pal Do World today,
 HN> it's japanese name is Konyaku, and we
 HN> had some at the sushi place where we
 HN> dined on Saturday with friends...I ate
 HN> a ton of sushi and rice and even had two
 HN> beers...so I expected my blood sugar
 HN> the next morning to be way high...but
 HN> it was only 140 after all that! The
 HN> Konyaku was an appetizer and the
 HN> menu made the claim it was good for
 HN> lowering blood sugar...so I went in search
 HN> of some to see if it really does work
 HN> for us. Finally found some (I think) and
 HN> we'll be using it in a soup this week.

Hopefully it will work. We found my mom's blood sugar reading was lower
the morning after she'd had rice for supper instead of potatoes. Trouble
is, my dad isn't that fond of rice so they eat a lot of potatoes.
