Hi Janis,

>> for the vegetarian dishes there.  There are so good.  I'll look and
>> see if this one in Ithaca mentions any goaty dishes though (g).

 JK> > Wouldn't be surprised to find it in Ithaca, seems like a rather
 JK> > ecclectic town with the school there.

 JK> Yes, it is eclectic at that (grin).. I tell people when I shop there
 JK> it's like going back to the late 60's.. great clothes, etc. and food.

Sounds like it would be a fun place to explore. There's a vintage shop
right near the Mediterrainian Deli in Chapel Hill; we've never stopped
in but seen things like lunch boxes in the window. Wednesday they had
the door open and several Christmas sweaters hanging on it. Looking
inside, I could see lots more. We went on and got our lunch, came by it
again on the way back to the car but didn't stop then either. I wouldn't
have minded stopping but we wanted to get over to Raleigh (Whole Foods)
and home in time for Steve to get some school work done before we went
out for church.

 JK> This is a menu from the Mehak-Cuisine in Ithaca (haven't been there
 JK> yet):

I'll have to take a look.


 JK> They include Goat Curry, Goat Vindaloo, Goat Saagwala, Karahi Goat,
 JK> and more .. I might look them up :)

I'd go with the curry as first choice. Vindaloo might be too hot and I'm
not sure what the latter 2 dishes are--need to look them up.



 JK> > Sounds like a good way to fix it. Lots of garlic but easy on the

 JK> I prefer it with a good flat-leaf parsley but for a change,
 JK> easy-on-the-Rosemary leaves is good, agree there.. ;)

We have so much fresh rosemary in the side "flower bed" that we could
supply the town. I see it growing in pots here & there in town as an
ornamental bush.

Very true there. It's your own fault if you go away hungry at most any
of them.

We don't buy that much candy over all, usually chocolate tho, and
usually the non major American brands. We do have some Halloween, 2011
Milky Way minis in the freezer.

We like their dark chocolate bars, have some on hand, as well as part of
a Ritter Sport dark with mint creme filling and some Trader Joe's dark
wedges.

You've got several months to build up your strength. (G)

 JK> That is so good to hear.

He didn't check any bags but they made him check his carry on going down
to Guyana. The plane wasn't that full and when he reclaimed it, he found
it had been opened and riffled thru. All valuables (computer, etc) and
medications were in his backpack tho.
