 RH> A start, much more to come. I did get a bit done on the next Santa
 RH> shirt on Thursday but yesterday & today were busy enough I've not
 RH> gotten to the sewing machine. I've got to iron a couple of shirts yet
 RH> tonight but supper was easy--we supported the JROTC fish fry. (G)
 
I trust that it was tasty as well as charitable...  ;)
 
 RH>> I wanted the bread pudding and broccoli salad made the day before the
 RH>> picnic so they would be fresher, not made 2 days before. It was only
 RH>> about 18 hours difference but still....................gave me
 RH>> something to do while Steve was gone. (G)
 NB>> Makes sense...  :)

 RH> As if I didn't have any other projects I could have done. (G)

Well, yeah... true...  (G)

 NB>>> Were there lots of good things at the church picnic...?
 RH>> Nothing extraordinary. Surprisingly, nobody had done baked beans.
 NB>> Guess nobody was in the mood for them...  Or figured that someone else
 NB>> would likely be supplying them, and decided not to risk duplicating...

 RH> Steve suggested it but I like to baby my beans in the last few hours
 RH> of cooking (keep checking, stirring, etc). Couldn't have done it during
 RH> church & Sunday School times.

Not without skipping out periodically... or skipping altogether..  not
exactly a cool thing to be doing... ;)
 
 NB>>> Keep forgetting to ask... isn't it you that likes the Milky Way
 NB>>> with just caramel filling?  They showed up with the other
 NB>>> once-a-year goodies in Fun Size for Halloween at our store, in
 NB>>> the last month or so... ;)   Do you have them available down
 NB>>> there, or would you like me to grab a bag for you while they are
 NB>>> here...?
 RH>> Is it the regular Milky Way filling, just in the fun size bar or is it
 RH>> a just caramel, no nougat filling? If it's the former, I can get them.
 RH>> If it's the latter, that's something new to me.
 NB>> It's "Milky Way Simply Caramel" in the fun size bar.  Only the
 NB>> chocolate coating with only caramel inside, no nougat.  I saw them
 NB>> and thought of you, and bought a bag to try...

 RH> I've not seen them down here so yes, go ahead & grab another bag. (G)

I figured that you'd say that...  There's a bag with your name on it in
our freezer now...  ;)  I had to hunt to find where they (the small
amount left of them) had been put, so figured that if I waited another
week there might not be any at all...  ;)

 RH> I was going to buy our end of month candy yesterday but Steve asked
 RH> that I hold off a couple more weeks.

Around here, they seem to only buy some set amount of the Halloween
(same thing with Valentine and Christmas) candy... and it shows up
months in advance... anyone that has paid any attention over the years
grabs what they want early on, since come time to normally buy it,
there's nothing left...  I've been caught like that before...
 
 NB>> I've noticed that the Fun Size seem only to be available with the
 NB>> Halloween candy selection... and some special varieties only show up

 RH> We see the fun size year round, huge bags of it only in October. Watch
 RH> for various different types of M&Ms too. A bag of each of the various
 RH> types, mixed together and "seasoned" with a bag of Skittles is M&M
 RH> Soup, a recipe from a friend of mine.

There's also the huge bags of mixes, also only available this time of
year, here.  But usually we only see the full-size bars and the bags of
minis throughout the year...

 NB>> at Halloween as well.  My favorite is the Snickers with Almonds, and
 NB>> that only shows up now at Halloween, and only in the Fun size...
 NB>> Richard rather likes the PB Squared version of Snickers, and that
 NB>> likewise now only shows up at Halloween.  And this was the first

 RH> Steve likes various peanut butter things; he is good about keeping
 RH> them away from my chocolate.

I don't detest them as you do, but they aren't my favorite thing.  :)

 NB>> year I saw the Simply Caramel Milky Way....

 RH> Sounds simply yummy....

Thought you'd think so...  :)
