Hi Ruth,

->  RH> A peach/apricot blend can work too.

-> Possibly, but I think next time I'll look for a sweeter sauce and use
-> fresh peaches.

 RH> Peach pineapple?

I need to think about it a bit. Anyway, the original recipe is gone so
it will have to be something else.

->  RH> Carole's dog Cash snuck in behind us and ate them all.

-> I'm not sure if he eats them or not. If not, it's one of the few things
-> he doesn't like. He did a pretty good job of playing the part of a 4
-> legged Hoover last spring.

 RH> Beagles usually do.  They're scent hounds, so anything that smells
 RH> interesting will attract the dog.  If it smells like food, human or
 RH> dog, it's a goner.

As I said, Hoover. When we were getting ready to move to HI, our down
the street neighbors were planning to adopt Sam, our cocker spaniel. He
stayed there for Thanksgiving on a trial visit while we went up to my
sister's in Peoria. When we got back, they said he fit right in. While
the turkey was being carved, a chunk fell on the floor and Sam swooped
right in for it. He moved down there for good a few weeks later.

->  RH> Pretty much.  They might even it Spaghetti-Os, if those qualify as
->  RH> food.

-> They qualify as food if you fit the categories of young child, teenager
-> or college student. Batchelors might fall into the "use of" range too,
-> but only those just out of high school or college less than a year.
-> After that, they should know how to do some proper cooking.

 RH> My dad could manage toast, just about.  I'm not sure he could have
 RH> gotten that can open.(LOL)

Wasn't he an engineer? If so, he'd get the can open somehow, maybe not
the conventional way but it would be opened.

->  RH> The builders of this house did a few eccentric things.  We've been
->  RH> finding some we didn't know about recently.

-> My folks had the same experience when their house started having
-> problems. Dad built most of it himself but did contract out some work.
-> He was also given some bad advice on what sort of materials to use in
-> some areas--stuff that was inexpensive and shoddy.

 RH> Otherwise known as falling apart and got what he paid for?  We thought

In some area, yes. But, they've lived there long enough that most all of
them have been corrected. My younger brother is planning to buy it
eventually; I don't think he will have many surprises.

 RH> about saving the subfloor in the bathroom, but it turned out that the
 RH> tile was embedded in the concrete subfloor.  It was great for
 RH> durability and longevity (the tiles on the floor were in perfect
 RH> condition) but not so good for removing the tiles.

It was a nice thought, but the execution would have been a bit
difficult.
