Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> (Will update on my parents thru e-mail)
 NB>  NB>> Ok... not received yet as of this morning's run... not sent yet?

 RH> Not sent out yet due to being busy there and then going to PA where
 RH> we had no internet access.

 NB> Ok, understood... just didn't want it to have gone missing... ;)

And it's been busy here since we got back so its not gone out yet.
Hopefully in the next day or 2 I'll get a chance to write.


 RH> While at my folks tho, I put bean soup, pea soup, meat pasta sauce,
 RH> sauerbraten and beef stew into their freezer, several meals worth
 RH> of each.

 NB> That should hold them for a little while... ;)  Alleviate the need for
 NB> MOW quite so soon, maybe...  :)

Yes, wish I could have done more but the time wasn't there. We cooked
from what they had on hand on Saturday & Sunday, made the shopping run
on Monday (got Chinese take out for supper) and cooked Tuesday thru
Thursday. Some prep work was done on Sunday for the sauerbraten as it
needed to marinade for a couple of days.

 NB>  RH>> Just missed Bread Alone (artisan bread) on the way back, got
 NB>  RH>> there a couple of minutes after they closed.
 NB>  NB>> Awww...  sounds like that's a nice place... too bad the timing
 NB>  NB>> didn't work out...

 RH> The grocery store in Margaretville sells a limited selection so we
 RH> picked up a loaf there. We've been using it off & on since last Friday
 RH> so we didn't miss out entirely. I did want to get some brotchen tho.

 NB> Have to be another trip, I guess... :)

Yes, we'll probably go up again in a few months. I may do some cooking
and freezing of meals here, then pack an ice chest. We did that a few
years ago after my dad broke his hip & found that the meals do stay
frozen.

 NB>  NB>> Haven't seen one of those machines yet...  I have seen a Moe's
 NB> around  NB>> here, never tried it... the Coke machine (if they have it
 NB> here) almost  NB>> makes a case for trying them... ;)

 RH> It's worth trying if you want something other than the usual Coke
 RH> products. All the main Coke lines with various flavorings, some I've
 RH> seen on an irregular basis from time to time, others never seen
 RH> outside of those machines.

 NB> I'm partial to Cherry Coke, which sometimes is available, often is
 NB> not...  And other variations could be interesting too... :)  I know
 NB> that there are far more varieties than can be kept available on the
 NB> shelves
 NB> in any one locality, so the machine is an interesting way to address
 NB> that... :)

I've not seen the raspberry Coke in the stores but have seen others from
time to time. Steve likes the cherry Coke but I think he tried the
raspberry flavoring when we went to Moe's.
