====================
Hey Michael!

->  HN> Keep us posted...BTW Anne has said 
->  HN> "yes" to your offer...I'm trying to get
->  HN> her to come up with dates
-> 
-> As for my own dates, Continental was having weird
-> fare sales, but I didn't pull the trigger on any
-> of them - first it was east coast to Seattle for
-> an astonishing $230 including a free stopover in
-> Mexico City or Bogota (I wasn't interested but
-> have friends who bought up to 10 of these), then
-> east coast to Seattle connecting in San Fran for
-> $230, no weird routing but no free stopover; when I
-> tried to jump on that, it had gone away. The fares
-> are now over $400 - if they come down into the
-> $300s I'll buy.
-> 
Again...keep me posted! Guitar convention
in July 20-24..but the spare room will be 
filled with Amanda from Jul 18-25. 
If I know far enough in advance I can arrange
days off from the ballpark and get tix for games.

->  ...but she's
->  HN> not too good on decision making these
->  HN> days.  If you came out here at the same
->  HN> time, we could even eat spicy food!!
-> 
-> Sounds like a deal. I've been having a tough
-> time getting people to eat spicy food with me -
-> aside from Nicholas, whom I don't see much these
-> days, my dining friends are pretty wussy.
-> 
Just had blood work done...couple of things 
look out of whack...A1C was 7.5 so need to 
do a fasting test so the doc will know if it 
was accurate or not...could mean some
more changes...and one of my liver functions
has gone "out of bounds" as well...need to 
do some more testing on that as well. 
 
->  HN> Texas did that to us as well...and so 
->  HN> did Cleveland...tonight we play 
->  HN> the Toronto's. We may have a chance
->  HN> for a win....if we can keep the team from
->  HN> Canada from getting across the border!! (grin)
-> 
-> The Red Sox have transformed magically into the Red
-> Sux and are now under .200 for the first time in
-> how long? The only reason they didn't lose yesterday
-> is that they were rained out.
->
We're looking pitiful right now...and I do
mean PITIFUL! Can't hit...can't seem to 
pitch, can't catch...and some can't seem
to throw...we are now 4 and 10...and 
already 6.5 games out of first! 
 
->  HN> Well Texas is pretty much claimed itself
->  HN> to itself...so no one really calls it "south".
->  HN> And most texans take that as an insult.
-> 
-> I have no reason not to insult Texas and Texans.
-> Aside from smoked brisket, the place has little to
-> recommend it; and, though I have true and faithful
-> friends there, most of the population is annoying in
-> the extreme and has a disproportionately large
-> political influence.
->
Know how to tell if a Texan is smart or not?
You'll meet the smart ones OUTSIDE of 
Texas! 
 
-> Long-horn brisket sauce
-> cat: bbq
-> yield: 6 c
-> 
-> beef fat (cut from brisket)
-> 2 1/2 c ketchup
-> 1 c Worcestershire sauce
-> 1 c lemon juice
-> 1/2 c brown sugar firmly packed
-> 1/2 c chopped onion
-> 1/2 c water
-> 1 ts cayenne pepper
-> 1 ts paprika
-> 
-> Cut fat into 1/2" pieces. Heat in a large skillet
-> until melted. Pour 1 c of fat into a saucepan. Stir
-> in remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat until
-> thick, about 1 hr. Better the next day.
-> 
-> M would add lots of cumin and cayenne and
-> omit most of the brown sugar and ketchup.
-> 
I'd replace some of the cayenne with 
other chile's perhaps pequin or serrano's.
cut the sugar at least in half, and also 
change from ketchup to tomato sauce.
I might even add more onion and garlic as well.

But you know me...I like to fiddle with
recipes! 
chat with you soon!
