Hi Michael,

 ML> He seems to be a pro with the IT stuff.
 RH> He's my resident geek or guru, depending on the phase of the moon, how
 RH> badly the computer is misbehaving, how long it takes him to get the
 RH> problem squared away, etc. (G)

 ML> Good to have one. I was Lilli's yesterday - the solution
 ML> was to remove and then reinstall the laptop battery,
 ML> something she had taught me long ago regarding a problem
 ML> I have with mine.

Something so easy but often overlooked. Same with the occaisional shut
down and reboot; it will do wonders.

 RH> I looked up the room rate for a couple of hotels in the WF area for my
 RH> MIL and SIL today. I think they were a bit surprised that, as we were
 RH> discussing it, that I went on line and had answers in a few minutes.

 ML> Miracle of modern technology. You have to be careful,
 ML> though, as a friend of mine in the business points out
 ML> that most of the big chains at least have dynamic
 ML> pricing that changes every hour at least.

True, but it gave them a ball park figure for planning. His parents,
siblings, spouses and widowed sister in law are all planning to come for
his graduation. I've got to figure out easy to handle meals that can be
served buffet style/eaten off TV trays as we do not have room for all
around the table. We've also got to decide where to hold the celebratory
dinner after the ceremony, probably a bbq place. (G)

 RH> No problem, and I've seen some recipes that use the title ironically.
 RH> I've also heard of those that have "roast preacher" for Sunday dinner.
 RH> I appreciate having a collection of casserole recipes that can be made
 RH> easily, in small to large quantities. BTW, my mom had 2 copies of a
 RH> bicentennial cook book from the church I grew up in; now she only has
 RH> one copy and I have the other. (G)

 ML> The other "preacher's delight" recipes I've seen have
 ML> been for dessert - this one was the most pleasant one
 ML> of the lot and the only one I ever saved.

I've not seen any by that title. BTW, we're back in NC now. Got back
Thursday but may have to travel back up to NY soon. My mom broke her hip
in the early hours of Thursday morning--had surgery yesterday to replace
it. Don't know how long she will be in the hospital & rehab and if we
need to go back to help or not. Just waiting for answers now.

 ML> Screaming Noodles
 ML> cat: main, pasta, heavy dairy, vegetarian
 ML> servings: 4


 ML> Recipe title alludes to the fact that the originator's
 ML> children used to threaten to scream unless they got it.

Heavy on carbs but OK for a pot luck or similar. I was wondering about
the name so it was good to see the explanation--don't know if I ought to
believe it or not.
