 NB>> I suppose smartphones have SOME very useful attributes... (G)  At
 NB>> least it's not that big a deal on my dumb phone to dial down the
 NB>> ringer to silence or back up later... the adjustment for mine is
 NB>> right at hand without digging through layers to get to it...  :)

 RH> Ringers seem to be easily accessible, sometimes too easy. I've had
 RH> mine turned up or down just by leaving the phone next to something
 RH> and then getting bumped. My previous phone did that a lot in my
 RH> purse but the new one fits nicely into a small pocket that nothing
 RH> else goes into. 

I've seen some where one couldn't easily do the change...  My main
problem with a phone getting bumped was that it would speed-dial people
all by itself...   Then I discovered how to lock the keypad...  ;)  That
works most of the time, anyway...  ;) 

 RH>> Yes, and the way things are progressing, especially up in NY, I want
 RH>> to have a phone with me as much as possible.
 NB>> Understood.  :)

 RH> Just that bit of reassurance.................

Yup...  :)

 RH> I was out at tonight and got a call from a friend we'll be meeting up
 RH> with after the picnic. We'd been missing connecting with each other
 RH> the last few days so it was good to finally talk.
 
Another good thing..  :)

 RH>> if I have 2 halves, at separate times, does that count as having a
 RH>> whole cookie?  If I have only half of one per time, I have more carbs
 RH>> available to enjoy other goodies.
 NB>> Any way you want to cut it... ;)

 RH> I'll enjoy it no matter what. Saw a recipe for gingered apple slaw in
 RH> yesterday's paper. My first thought was that you and Ruth would enjoy
 RH> it, then remembered you couldn't have it. Sigh!

Maybe I'd make gingered pear slaw...  then I could enjoy it, too... ;)  

 RH> It called for a tablespoon of fresh ginger juice; I think it's the
 RH> first time I've seen a recipe calling for ginger juice.

Not a particularly common ingredient, to be sure.  :)   Did it also call
for slivers of ginger...?

 RH>>> Betwix and between, yes. I'm going to bring up ingredients for
 RH>>> the lemon pound cake and make it up there for maximum freshness.
 NB>>> Sounds good..  :)
 RH>> It is, that's why we call it the vanishing lemon pound cake. (G)
 NB>> Of course... :)

 RH> I know one time it was gone within an hour, don't know if that's the
 RH> record or not.

Depending on how many are eating it, I'm sure it could go even
faster....  ;)
