====================
Hi Michael,

 ML> Hardy har. Yes. I also do have the 40-year-old watch
 ML> alarm, but that is rather sissy-sounding and if I am
 ML> in a deep slumber may not do the trick.

 ML> My watch died the day after I wrote that. Strange but true.

I can believe it. this past winter (Jan-Feb time frame), my watch died
and a new battery didn't help. Steve got me a couple from W-M, one
somewhat more expensive (but neither mega bucks) than the other. I wear
the lesser expensive one as an every day one but on the flight out here,
it started losing time in a major way. That continued for a few days,
not quite as much time each day.  About Tuesday it started keeping good
time again. Steve brought out my other watch just in case. It'll be
interesting to see how this one behaves on the return trip.

 RH> I know, most of the time I don't even hear Steve's. His latest
 RH> iteration only beeps for 15 seconds. Others have gone on for a
 RH> minute--a long time when he goes off and leaves the watch at home
 RH> beside the bed.

 ML> That minute sounds effective, though.

Yes, but I have slept thru it.


 ML> the precaution of leaving the drapes open, so the sunrise
 ML> finally did the job, and I hustled out of there, getting to
 ML> the airport in 15 minutes and getting to the plane just
 ML> barely in time.
 RH> Good thing you had more of an east facing window than a west one. Can
 RH> you imagine if you'd gotten a western view?

 ML> I'd still be there, likely enough!

No, you would get hungry at some point and wake up to find something to
eat. True, it might not be the day you expected it to be, but you would
wake up.


 ML> I'd say they would do well - any salty, full-flavored olive would.
 RH> Steve will eat kalamatas but isn't so fond of plain black olives. He
 RH> does like the green. OTOH, I like all 3 kinds. (G)

 ML> Hah - my local grocery store, when I had a locality, carried
 ML> 12 different kinds of olives, each tasting pretty distinctive.

I've seen olive bars in Lowe's and WF; usually the varieties are green,
kalamata or black with various stuffings (pimentoes, feta cheese,
jalapenoes, etc). The olives themselves don't look to have much of a
variety than the 3 basics. Robert tried a kalamata last night but didn't
like it; OTOH, Sarah was swiping all the black olives she could get her
hands on.

 ML> Sateh Sauce I (Peanut sauce)
 RH> And I would not make this at all, since it has the dreaded peanut
 RH> butter in it.

 ML> It is the standard satay sauce, though.

I know, and I don't like peanut butter so I don't go for satay. Same as
I don't care for coconut so anything made with coconut milk is not
appreciated.

 ML> Title: Angel Food Cake (Richard Cole)
 ML> Keywords: cake, favorite

Steve made one last month. That's when he used up the dozen egg yolks in
the chocolate and vanilla pastry creams. He's thinking about making a
chocolate angel food cake some time too.  I grabbed my mom's (not used
since well before I left home) pan last year on one of our trips upt to
NY.
