Hi Nancy,


 NB>  NB>>> Raisin Pie:
 NB>  RH>>> I've several Penn. Dutch cook books that I could check out,
 NB>  RH>> We'll be back in NC next week. Got a busy day lined up for the
 NB>  RH>> day after we get back so it may take a day or so beyond that to
 NB>  RH>> hunt up the recipe.

 NB> (reminder)

Found a recipe, will post it.

 NB> appointments  RH>> at the end of the month so can't leave before then.
 NB>  NB>> How long will you have at your parents' house....?

 RH> Unknown right now--have to see what the job situation for Steve is,
 RH> medical appointments for one or the other of us, how things are going
 RH> up there, etc. My guess is, probably about a week, give or take a day
 RH> or two.

 NB> Somewhat of a triage situation... ;)   I've done that lots...  :)

Somewhat, but we sort of know what to expect.

 NB>  NB>> One does have to have the population to sustain the restaurant
 NB> after  NB>> all..

 RH> Yes, and that's why you find a lot of Korean and German places around
 RH> Army bases (G) for those that married a local national. It's probably
 RH> true for other branches of service as well but I don't know the areas
 RH> off post (base) for them as well.

 NB> Similarly, that's probably why we have so many Indian/Pakistani
 NB> restaurants locally... from the imported professionals to the colleges
 NB> and hospitals...


True, and there's a lot of good eating at those places. I know there are
at least a couple of Indian places in Raleigh; we've been to one several
times and enjoyed it.

 NB>  RH>> Nice to have the computer expert in house, isn't it? (G)
 NB>  NB>> Sure is.  :)

 RH> Especially when things go wrong, or you think they are. I was having
 RH> trouble getting a password changed the other day but Steve was able to
 RH> do it successfully for me.

 NB> Yup.  You just never know when you'll need them...  The CMOS battery
 NB> died on my main computer the other day... all better now...  ;)  But I
 NB> needed Richard to change it and then to reset things back in the BIOS
 NB> and all...  ;)

When they work, great! When they don't work--how in the world did we get
so dependent on on them?
