 RH>> Yes, and this is the week end my in laws are going back to Florida.
 RH>> I'll give them a few days to resettle before calling to ask about the
 RH>> recipe.
 NB>> Good thinking.  :)

 RH> I got a copy of the recipe in the mail today from my MIL. I'll have
 RH> Steve post it as he can do it in MM.

I saw his post... looks like a nice recipe...  :)  I can see why you
were holding out for it...  ;)  Apparently your MIL thought of it as
part of the getting ready to go...?   ;)

 NB>>>> It certainly was... she had made up a extra large baking dish
 NB>>>> full, and it was pretty well vanished by the time we left... :)
 RH>>> Doing quite well for something with rhubarb! (G)
 NB>>> It was quite tasty, and people went back for more.... and talked
 NB>>> it up to others...  ;)
 RH>> Making converts to rhubarb?
 NB>> Perhaps...  or maybe they weren't really aware that it was
 NB>> rhubarb... ;)

 RH> Could be, especially if it was sweet enough. They may have thought the
 RH> bit of puckery taste came from lemons.
 
The cream part of it tended to cover part of the taste... and to some
extent the visual recognition...  I had to have Richard check it out
first to make sure that apple wasn't one of the ingredients..  :)  All
the tastes melded really nicely into it.  :)

 RH>> We've been to the Seoul House, Texas Roadhouse, and Carrabba's in
 RH>> that area. Of course the latter 2 are chain places that we've been
 RH>> to in other locations but all were good.
 NB>> And there's lots more chain places along Jefferson Rd, too... some
 NB>> better than others...  ;)   Tandoor of India's in the same general
 NB>> area, too...  If Alfano's isn't viable next time we try to connect,
 NB>> there's some other good places in the Henrietta area... :)

 RH> All sorts of good places to try.

For sure.  One of them being Fu's new restaurant, Taste of Japan...  :)
 
 RH>> Don't know if any of the few places there were in Houghton when I was
 RH>> a student are still there. Doubt it.
 NB>> Depends on whether or not the next generation (or a new owner) carried
 NB>> on the business as it was...  Jay's Diner is definitely under new
 NB>> ownership since my college days, but it doesn't appear to be changed
 NB>> much all the same...  :)   Holloway House (I think the name is) in
 NB>> Bloomfield is a local landmark restaurant that goes back quite a ways,
 NB>> as I understand it...

 RH> Houghton didn't have many places in the town itself. A pizza & sub
 RH> shop (take out or delivery only), the Houghton Inn, and the campus
 RH> center snack bar were about it. Otherwise you had to head out of town.

Houghton Inn might have survived, as long as there was some ongoing
continuity possible...  And I'm sure there's some sort of permutation of
the campus center snack bar still available....  

 RH> The pizza & sub shop started as a project by a couple of business
 RH> students from SUC Geneseo--they found a need/niche and filled it,
 RH> big time. 

Sounds like something that might have continued... or left when the
students graduated and went off into the world for "real" work... ;)  By
now there's probably a Subway and/or a chain pizza place there..  :)
