============
Hi Dave,

 RH> We traced the entry point to a pipe about halfway up the sink cabinet
 RH> wall.  Kinda hard to put crystals on a wall, isn't it?  But the gel
 RH> stuff stays up there rather well and is doing a good job of getting rid
 RH> of the ants.

 DD> Uuuuuhhhhh ... jam *IS* a gel. And it will attract the sweet loving
 DD> ants to eat it and ingest the boric acid crystals.

Well, it looks like we'll be giving your plan a try.  After several days
of no to maybe one or two ants, we had several tonight.  Made me wonder
if they were coming in from the cold. (G)  So, we go with the next idea
in line, using something sweet to mix the boric acid with. Hmmmm, wonder
how they like honey.


 RH> squash in the oven as part of supper; Steve is going to try to roast
 RH> the seeds like pumpkin seeds.

 DD> Pumpkin is just an orange squash.

 RH> Yes but the seeds were quite different; he said it wasn't worth the
 RH> time and effort for the taste.

 DD> Fair enough. Although I haven't noticed a lot of difference in taste
 DD> if using the same method. Just in size and a bit in shape differences.

He had them all eaten before I had a chance to try any so I can't give
any sort of opinion.

 DD>   toasted roll. Eat. Enjoy!

 RH> But why is it called a cannibal sandwich?

 DD> Because of the raw meat. It sounds more descriptive to most than Steak
 DD> Tartare Sandwich.

 RH> Sounds like the name a preadolescent boy would give a sandwich like
 RH> that. (G)  What's wrong with Steak Tartare Sandwich?

 DD> Not a thing if that's what you wish to call it. But, Cannibal Sandwich
 DD> is the name I found it under in Recipe Source. <SHRUG> Could have just


Somebody was having fun with the name.


 DD> as easily called it an MLoo Special.  Bv)=

Ready to pay him a royalty every time you use the name then?

 DD>       Title: Pistou With Pepitas
 DD>  Categories: 2hot, Squash, Herbs, Cheese

 RH> What kind of soup, squash?

 DD> Something reasonably thick. IOW, not a broth based soup. Wouldn't
 DD> necessarily have to be a squash/cucumber/pumpkin soup (all cousins).

But that might be the best compliment.


 DD> This one is in-between and calls for the soup *over* the pistou rather
 DD> than the way the 2 Hot Tamales do it.

 DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

 DD>       Title: Soup au Pistou
 DD>  Categories: Soups, Beans, Cheese, Potatoes, Squash
 DD>       Yield: 8 servings

Seems there's more than one way to do most any thing.
