Hi Nancy,


 NB>  NB>> I'd bet that they'd be happy enough with the Meals... and there

 RH> I don't know; I think my brother has done some checking out but Dad
 RH> refuses to even consider them. And he's not happy with Mom's cooking
 RH> any more either but it's the devil he knows vs the devil he doesn't
 RH> know. At any rate, we'll be doing a lot of the cooking the week we're
 RH> there in July.

 NB> Gwen didn't think she'd like them, either, but when they appeared
 NB> before her she decided they weren't half bad... at least for most of
 NB> them...

Dad may reach the point sooner or later as Mom's cooking deteriorates to
go for them. Trouble is, they've got so much food on hand that I think
they want to use it up (and then they buy more, vicious cycle) before
going for something like MOW.


 RH> worth the cost to try; we found it to be worth the cost. The same
 RH> ingredients could make it into a taco salad if we served it over chips
 RH> or just tacos if we had the shells for them (not too often).

 NB> Good enough to buy at full cost, should you find it later...?

Quite possibly. The carb count is relatively decent too, something else
I need to watch now. We'll be doing a diabetes education by example" for
my mom next month--hopefully she'll see what a portion really is and get
a bit smarter about what she eats.

 RH> year in) Korea. We were exposed to a wide variety of foods (join a
 RH> local church; the good food comes out at pot lucks-G-) that we tried,
 RH> liked and started cooking for ourselves.

 NB> Even potlucks depend on how adventurous the population is... ;)  But

True, but what's ordinary for the folks in HI was different for us.


 NB> they can indeed help someone get started on being a bit adventurous,
 NB> if they weren't taught it at home... :)

That's how I learned how to enjoy good southern cooking after Steve & I
got married. (G)
 RH> has been up at various times since we were last there; her son just
 RH> finished his first year of college at Delhi Tech--25 miles from my
 RH> parents.

 NB> Maybe he'd be interested (your nephew) in the bread machine...  I know

I wouldn't be too surprised if he did want to use it but hopefully his
mom took it. I know that I don't want to see it tho.


 NB> my son has really gotten into his... dunno why/when/where he got it,
 NB> but he's got it up to the camp and uses it there...  Claims it really
 NB> helps him stretch his food budget...

I can see his point--sandwiches are cheaper than steak. (G) He can also
use the dough cycle for pizza crust. Better than the prepackaged stuff
as it's fresh made.
