==================================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> give it  NB>> a slight tang of heat... ;)  I might not need extra heat
 NB> with your  NB>> chili... but then I do enjoy a wide range of heats for
 NB> things... ;)

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

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

That's the smart thing to do. In college, it was sit down and grab the
salt shaker, even before tasting. I had to break that habit when Steve
and I got married.

 NB>  RH>> I don't know; he told me after he'd cooled down what he'd done.
 NB> IIRC,  RH>> he liked some heat but not as much as he got.
 NB>  NB>> He'll read more carefully after this, I imagine...  ;)

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

 NB> For sure...  ;)

Especially if I make the competition style, which I wasn't really doing
when we lived in HI. Everybody liked the family friendly with heat on
the side.

 NB> picked  RH>> up a jar of fajita seasoning. OTOH, I might just mix up a
 NB> larger
 NB>  RH>> quantity of what I used and keep it on hand.
 NB>  NB>> With the basic ingredients already at hand, that could be a less
 NB>  NB>> expensive way to go... and you can tweak it to your heart's
 NB> 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.

 NB> That, too.   :)

I'll probably go with mixing it up as I need, at least for the time
being. I don't remember to put it on the shopping list most weeks. (G)

 NB>  RH>> way. Also nice in that a smaller family doesn't have a huge
 NB>  RH>> dessert that'll seem to last forever. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Unless they are all big eaters...  ;)

 RH> And, I could see some that fit the description.

 NB> Always some in every crowd, it seems... :)

There's also some families in the church with 3 or more children--that
will make a dessert disappear fast.


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

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

 NB> Probably...  ;)

The law of "go figure" again.

 NB>  NB>> That's a nice touch...  :)  All this talk about olives, when I
 NB> went  NB>> grocery shopping Friday, I just had to grab some from the
 NB> Mediteranian  NB>> bar at Wegmans...  Got some mixed greek olive/feta
 NB> together...  NB>> had it with some Wegmans chicken sausage with
 NB> spinach and feta for  NB>> supper...  :)  We were shopping just
 NB> earlier enough than usual to make  NB>> eating at home look more
 NB> 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.

 NB> Another quick and easy... :)

Yes, I'd been out grocery shopping so picked up the hot dogs and rolls
as part of the groceries. Had the kraut and carrots on hand so supper
was easy that night. Steve had a couple more of the dogs/rolls the next
day for lunch while I was at my quilt group meeting.

 NB>  NB>> I noted that they had about half-a-dozen different Greek olives,
 NB> and  NB>> another half dozen or so Italian ones... plus various mixes
 NB> thereof  NB>> and salads based thereon... plus the other stuff...  :)

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

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

We both like green and kalamata--next time we get to Whole Foods, I
might hit up their olive bar and try something different. They have
olives with feta and other stuff that looks interesting to try.
