Hi Ruth,

There is still some left here... I think it burned enough of the testers :)
Eoin tried it last night.. it was too hot for him though.

I like korean hot seasonings and thai hot seasonings, but I'm never one to tell
the waiters "make it hot" Lol..  given a choice, I ask for mild, actually - I
guess I'm quite the sissy when it comes to that (g).

Yes, indeed... it was just too obvious.

Ah.. haven't seen that one up here.

Makes sense.. Pickles, like cucumbers I'd think would be low generally.

Agree there.. who needs two mortgages (grin).  Well, if we get to a point and
the sale doesn't look like it's going to happen quickly we can rent it.. but
that is not preferable.. it's still a good hour from here and would generally
be a pia to rent it.  With the Marcellus shale business in the Broome county
area though, I think it will go fast once we get it listed.

We have a lift here the previous owner left here because he couldn't sell it.
It cost him $5,000 he said.. he tried to sell it for $2,000 and couldn't.
That's a shame.. we told him if we're able to sell it, we'll send him the $$
but he didn't want to hear about that either (g).

So far the stairs aren't a terrible problem.. I just have to make sure I keep a
hand on the rail Lol.. eventually Ron will put another rail on the other side
of the stairs, but it's not critical to me.

Oh yes.. something those in my family have had to deal with for a long time :(

Actually sausage and peppers in red sauce was real big in Orange County at the
county fair, and in Westchester and Orange county's fireman's parades.. That's
southeastern NY.  I was in a number of parades back in high school since I
played drums in a drum corps (g).  I wonder if it's just a "fireman's thing"
regardless of where they are :)

Take care,
Janis
