 RH>> I pulled out a container of the chili I'd put in the freezer for
 RH>> supper tonight. Steve had crackers in his, I put in a package of
 RH>> croutons I'd gotten with a salad at Wendy's the other day. Steve also
 RH>> added some hot sauce but I didn't heat mine any more.
 NB>> I used to get Wendy's chili once in a while... the last time I did
 NB>> (there with someone else), I used their hot sauce packets to give it
 NB>> a slight tang of heat... ;)  I might not need extra heat with your
 NB>> chili... but then I do enjoy a wide range of heats for things... ;)

 RH> Maybe, maybe not. depends on how hot I've made it.

I'd taste first before adding any heat, anyway... :)

 NB>>> and an "ab" could be an "ot"...  ;)  Did he go for the sour
 NB>>> cream and stuff to cool it back down...?
 RH>> I don't know; he told me after he'd cooled down what he'd done. IIRC,
 RH>> he liked some heat but not as much as he got.
 NB>> He'll read more carefully after this, I imagine...  ;)

 RH> Most likely he will, especially around my chili. (G)

For sure...  ;)
 
 NB>>> Did you jot down what you did, so you could remember for a next
 NB>>> time...? Or just hope that with a next time, you'll come up with
 NB>>> something sufficiently similar...?  :)
 RH>> I should be able to figure out something similar, if I've not picked
 RH>> up a jar of fajita seasoning. OTOH, I might just mix up a larger
 RH>> quantity of what I used and keep it on hand.
 NB>> With the basic ingredients already at hand, that could be a less
 NB>> expensive way to go... and you can tweak it to your heart's content..
 NB>> :)

 RH> Since I've got all the ingredients on hand, I could make various
 RH> iterations, depending on what strikes my fancy at the moment.
 
That, too.   :)
 
 RH>> Some trading is done or sometimes some outright giving away
 RH>> portions. More people get to taste a variety of things that
 RH>> way. Also nice in that a smaller family doesn't have a huge
 RH>> dessert that'll seem to last forever. (G)
 NB>> Unless they are all big eaters...  ;)

 RH> And, I could see some that fit the description.
 
Always some in every crowd, it seems... :)

 RH>> Have to ask her next time you see her.
 NB>> If I remember.   :)  If the subject comes up, I probably will...  (G)

 RH> You'll remember--until you see her. Then you'll remeber again, when
 RH> you get home.

Probably...  ;)
 
 NB>> That's a nice touch...  :)  All this talk about olives, when I went
 NB>> grocery shopping Friday, I just had to grab some from the Mediteranian
 NB>> bar at Wegmans...  Got some mixed greek olive/feta salad, a few
 NB>> dolmas, and some peppadews and little mozz balls to put together...
 NB>> had it with some Wegmans chicken sausage with spinach and feta for
 NB>> supper...  :)  We were shopping just earlier enough than usual to make
 NB>> eating at home look more attractive.. and that was a quick-n-easy
 NB>> supper...  :)

 RH> Sounds good; we did hot dogs on rolls with sauerkraut and baby carrots
 RH> last night.
 
Another quick and easy... :)
 
 NB>> I noted that they had about half-a-dozen different Greek olives, and
 NB>> another half dozen or so Italian ones... plus various mixes thereof
 NB>> and salads based thereon... plus the other stuff...  :)

 RH> Decisions, decisions...................

Which is partly why I picked the olive/feta salad... got more than one
kind of Greek olive, plus the added feta and all... :)  And Richard
isn't as enthusiastic about olives as I am, hence the other entrees from
the bar...  :)
