Hi Ruth,

->  RH> You're a Jaguar - great when you're running normally, but if feels
->  RH> like you're always in the shop.  Me too; I think the tooth between

-> More no fun for you. But yes, it seems I'm either feeling really good or
-> down for the count. More of the former right now but catching up around
-> the house after being gone for 5 days with only 2 days warning we would

 RH> I can go both ways too, but really good isn't an option most days.

I'm doing better but still get really tired after a day's worth of
either getting ready to travel, travelling or a day's worth of work
after getting home. I've got a number of projects to do that I've not
had the time to do, and they will wait a bit longer. Used the crock pot
to cook some beef short ribs (with home made bbq sauce) tonight but the
extra "free" time to do something else didn't produce much time. I did
use some of it to repackage into portions some munchies I got in bulk at
Whole Foods last week and cut up some onions to make chili tomorrow.

-> It also taught the girls a bit more about cooking; they were both good
-> cookie bakers before but learned more practical cooking.

 RH> That's pretty much the way I learned too.  My grandfather had me
 RH> helping make cookies when I was four or five.  I was a lot older
 RH> before I learned anything really useful.

I made my first whole meal at age 7. After that, it was parts of meals
until the summer I turned 13 when I'd do most lunches. That fall I
started doing supper once a week when Mom went to night school. Then the
next summer she took classes for 6 weeks at a school 250 (+/-) miles
away so I did the majority of the cooking & cleaning. Might as well call
it OJT, got a lot of "bugs" out of my cooking before Steve & I got
married.

->  RH> There is that, but there are some towns here I don't know at all.
->  RH> Never had a reason to go there.

-> Happens to all of us. Find a restaurant you want to try in one of them
-> and go?

 RH> Possible, but I eat out so seldom it's not much of a possibility. An
 RH> estate sale is more like it.  Finding a new jewelry stash or ethnic
 RH> grocery? Definitely a draw.

Time to start looking.
