Ärende: a toast!
================
Hi Nancy,

 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.

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

We talked to them a few days ago after they got home so I asked about
it. She was able to find it so now we can do the bars. I'm going to do
what I did last time, cut them half the size that was suggested, to cut
the carb count down to a more reasonable level. May try using the stevia
for baking and a touch of molasses for the brown sugar as well.

 NB>  RH>> Making converts to rhubarb?
 NB>  NB>> Perhaps...  or maybe they weren't really aware that it was
 NB>  NB>> rhubarb... ;)

 RH> Could be, especially if it was sweet enough. They may have thought the
 RH> bit of puckery taste came from lemons.

 NB> The cream part of it tended to cover part of the taste... and to some
 NB> extent the visual recognition...  I had to have Richard check it out
 NB> first to make sure that apple wasn't one of the ingredients..  :)  All
 NB> the tastes melded really nicely into it.  :)

That made it special then--when one or two flavors shout out, it can
mask the more delicate tastes of some ingredients.

 NB> some  NB>> better than others...  ;)   Tandoor of India's in the same
 NB> general  NB>> area, too...  If Alfano's isn't viable next time we try
 NB> to connect,  NB>> there's some other good places in the Henrietta
 NB> area... :)

 RH> All sorts of good places to try.

 NB> For sure.  One of them being Fu's new restaurant, Taste of Japan...
 NB> :)

Have you tried it yet?

 NB> to be changed  NB>> much all the same...  :)   Holloway House (I think
 NB> the name is) in  NB>> Bloomfield is a local landmark restaurant that
 NB> 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.

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

The Inn had a fire some years ago so was torn down and a new one
(without the restaurant) was built. The snack bar is still there, but
revised several times since I was a student.

 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.

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

I think a Subway is in town now. I'll have to check, either thru the
sister of a girl I know who will be a student there or next time we go
thru the area.
