Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Steamed kale on a pizza? Not so much.  Broccoli works though.

-> No, its been a side on the table from time to time over the last month

 RH> I like using it in soup.  Mustard greens too.

Have to think about that one.  Meanwhile, the brussels sprouts hater
found a way to eat and enjoy them.  Last night I roasted a pound (had
some left over) with about a small red onion, sliced (from a bigger
one).  Also in the mix were olive oil, a bit of sugar, salt & pepper.
Done at 375 for about 35 minutes, then sprinkled with balsamic vinegar.
I still haven't found a way to eat and enjoy sweet potatoes to counter
his new interest in the sprouts tho. (G)


->  RH> It didn't work here either, but then Dad didn't get any boys.  My
->  RH> niece however seems to be turning into a train fan.

-> Too bad your dad never knew.

 RH> He died before she was born; he'd have gotten a kick out of it.

IIRC, it was a difference of just a few weeks?


->  RH> My dad's did.  Someone from a local railroad museum parted it out
 RH> for
->  RH> us.
 RH> ->
-> We've tried setting up contacts but Dad hasn't wanted to deal with
-> anyone he doesn't know.

 RH> These days that can be difficult, because the old railfans are dying
 RH> out.

Well, someone is nibbling at his G (?) gauge stuff. My brother is acting
as an intermediary right now, helping set things up. It would make
things a bit easier on my folks not having that to worry about.

->  RH> Me neither, except for the sugar and fat.  And salt, a few days a
->  RH> month.

-> It's the difference in the way we cook and eat.

 RH> And in not having monthly hormonal fluctuations.  I bought a ton of
 RH> olives and grape leaves at the store today.  They were lunch.
 RH> Normally I can walk right by the olive bar, but... not today!  Salt,
 RH> olive oil, and whole grain bread.  Doesn't get much better than that.

OTOH, I made 2 big lasagnes for our life group meeting tomorrow.  I did
something different this time--instead of 3 cheese layers, I did cheese,
meat, cheese.  The meat was a mix of browned ground beef, ground turkey
and turkey sweet Italian sausage.  The cheese mix was my usual ricotta &
parmesan with a bit of mint, as well as parsley (thanks, Janet) mixed in
and heavily sprinkled with grated mozzarella. Another lady is doing
garlic bread, salad & dessert.  I also made up a gallon of sweet tea and
a half one of unsweet to take tomorrow.  Steve took the lasagnes over to
the church and put them in the fridge there after I baked and cooled
them.  Tomorrow I'll put them in the oven on low before Sunday School
starts.  By the time church is over, they will be nice & warm &
everybody will be smelling them.

-> I'm not sure either, without giving it some thought. But yes, I'd go for
-> flannels too.  They're good for snuggling into when the weather turns
-> cool.

 RH> Flannel sheets are a necessity around here.  Gets a little nippy
 RH> without them.

My folks have some. We rotate between cotton/poly percale in the summer
and all cotton in the winter.
