HI Nancy,

 RH> Yes, one of those where you don't have to open every cupboard and
 RH> drawer to find the right tools tho. A really strange one would have

 RH> to the main user.

 NB> Yup... logical based on what they regularly did, and how... and what
 NB> their usual methods might be, etc...  ;)

Worked for them and we sort of got used to it. We've done that other
places too, including whenever we've moved. "I keep (this item) here.
Oops, that was in the kitchen in (Savannah, Arizona, Hawaii, Berlin)..."
you get the picture.

 NB> have meals  NB>> together.  Families do make their own accommodations
 NB> for dietary
 NB>  NB>> issues, though.  I think Megan's possible lactose problems was a

 RH> The younger the child is when problems arise, the easier it is for

 NB> True.  Patterns are easier to change before they get too settled...

Very much so, especially with young children.



 RH> Today's Life Group meal we made dairy free for him (main part had
 RH> dairy in it) with just a couple of simple adaptations. I even called
 RH> his mom and left a message for her not to take the time to pack a lunch

 RH> family has 3 children (#4 due in a couple of months) so it was one less
 RH> Sunday morning worry.

 NB> A small adjustment on your part (and something that you've learned to
 NB> do with your own dietary needs) to make things easier on their part.

 NB> It's not quite as common as it could be...  :)  Our last church dinner

 NB> People were to bring salads, desserts, and/or hotdog buns...  As I was

Good thing somebody brought gluten free rolls! Were there gluten free
dogs as well? Sometimes gluten is more of a hidden ingredient in things
like hot dogs--labels have to be read really carefully.


 NB>  RH>> Moving on to something else--juicing. We had a juicer (gotten
 NB> 2nd  RH>> hand) but he wasn't too crazy about it. After going on line,
 NB> checking  RH>> out all kinds of juicers, he got another one (came in
 NB> yesterday) that  RH>> he's already initiated.
 NB>  NB>> And what has he juiced already...?   :)

 RH> Some fruit, lots of veggies. We made our own version of a V-8 type
 RH> juice yesterday, 8 pints worth (canned 7). It's good, but doesn't have
 RH> the little chunks of veggies the Knudsen's juice has. (G)

 NB> Picky, picky...  :)  Now you just have to figure out how to get those
 NB> little chunks in your own...   :)  (maybe save out a bit of each and
 NB> run those through a blender/processor instead of the juicer..?)

I don't know how often he will be making juice in that quantity. It took
several hours and the cost of the tomatoes alone was about what we paid
for 3 bottles of Knudsen's at The Fresh Market in Chapel Hill.
