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

 NB>  RH>> Maybe, maybe not. depends on how hot I've made it.
 NB>  NB>> I'd taste first before adding any heat, anyway... :)

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

 NB> I don't think I ever added seasoning without tasting... probably

College dining hall food was notorious for being unsalted. Probably had
no seasoning at all, and veggies out of cans needed something. At the
time, the only thing available was salt & pepper. Now they have more
seasonings available but I suspect no pepper vinegar for the greens.


 NB> wasn't available on the table growing up, and then I was cooking my
 NB> own meals, so knew what they tasted like already (and we haven't had

Same here.

 NB> salt on the
 NB> table for most of our marriage)... eating out, I'd always taste first,

We keep some nearby because there are times it's needed.

 NB> since one didn't know what to expect...

Agreed.


 NB>  NB>>> He'll read more carefully after this, I imagine...  ;)
 NB>  RH>> Most likely he will, especially around my chili. (G)
 NB>  NB>> For sure...  ;)

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

 NB> With the competition style, you'd probably have a sign saying,
 NB> caution, may be hot... ;)  And little need to have heat on the side,
 NB> except for the few that like it really hot... ;)

A warning sign and a bottle of psuedo-Malinda's hot sauce will cover
both bases. Also a carton of sour cream and some shredded cheddar
cheese.

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

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

 NB> Unless by some very rare chance they don't like sweets... (G)

One mom did tell me her sons go more for veggies than sweets. They don't
eat many sweets because of health issues so the boys haven't developed
much of a taste for them. Tho a few years ago, the dad and our preaching
pastor got into quite the bidding war for one item at the dessert
auction. (G)

 NB>  NB>> Richard isn't as enthusiastic about olives as I am, hence the
 NB> other  NB>> entrees from the bar...  :)

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

 NB> Yes, this one likewise has various kinds of stuffings in various kinds
 NB> of olives, to add to the assortment of plain olives... nuts, feta,
 NB> blue cheese, garlic, to name a few...  ;)

IIRC, Lowe's has some, I might check them out when I go over on Friday.
