 NB>>> Speckledy Icecream (vanilla with chocolate flakes speckled throughout)
 RH>> Maybe somebody in that area has a similar recipe, think Billy Graham

 NB>> Dunno whether the recipe came from Montreat or from their home in
 NB>> Norfolk... they spent summers at Montreat, though, and that's more
 NB>> quintessentially ice cream weather...  ;)

 RH> Most of the time, yes. We're having a cooler than normal summer this
 RH> year so not as much ice cream is probably being consumed. OTOH, it's
 RH> still very hot out in LVNV and AZ so they're probably eating a lot

We eat probably as much ice cream in winter as in summer... but I was
speaking more of summer being more the time to be making your own ice
cream...  ;)  Besides, actually, summer JUST started, and we've gone
right into nasty hot humid weather again... ;0  At least it's officially
summer now...  (G)  (Relief is supposedly on the way, after the
predicted heavy rain for the next couple of days...)

 NB>> winter, spring summer and fall... quality buyers ask for Breyers,
 NB>> the greatest ice cream of them all."  And yes, the music was going
 NB>> along in my head as I typed that..  (G)

 RH> I never heard the jingles so don't have to worry about those ear
 RH> worms. (G)
 
As long as the words are innocuous, I don't worry much..  :)  The music
does a great job in bringing back the memories of the words... ;)

 RH>> Did you try any of the Portugese sweet bread that Dale & Gail brought
 RH>> up to the pond picnic a couple of years ago? I made that with fresh
 RH>> ground (from our mill) wheat.
 NB>> I think so... it may have been near the end of the week...  as you
 NB>> say, it was a couple years ago...  I'm sure it was even better when
 NB>> it was fresh out of the oven...  :)

 RH> No, not quite as good as fresh baked but warming it helps.

I think we did end up warming some, and yes, it helped... :)

 RH> Steve's Afghani friend gave him some flat bread the other day; it's
 RH> pretty good but reminds me of (in looks) a crust portion of a regular
 RH> loaf but about 10"x15" in size.
 
Sounds like it's more like our bread in texture, then, than like the
flat breads I'm familiar with, like naan, or pita...  :)

 NB>>> My sister with the ten kids had that in her house as a staple...
 NB>>> along with cans of pork and beans...  I got my fill of it the
 RH>> At least chicken nuggets and frozen pizzas weren't in the lunch
 RH>> rotation. (G)
 NB>> Those were too expensive for that crew... :)

 RH> But how many moms of this generation do rely on them, no matter what
 RH> the cost? They haven't learned how to make a better lunch for less.

Maybe less than we think... ;)  But then, they may be relying on even
less expensive but also less healthy items... letting kids fill up on
potato chips or such...  

 NB>> You did far more effort than I was willing to do... as we've said,
 NB>> you're a Cook, far more that I am...   :)   As long as the cheese
 NB>> melted and covered the pasta, I was satisfied... didn't have to
 NB>> have a creamy sauce...  Mine always vanished, too... :)

 RH> Did you use whole wheat pasta? 

That, and veggie pastas...  

 RH> I've made some converts to whole wheat
 RH> pasta when they taste how good my mac & cheese is. I use it all the
 RH> time when I cook for Life Group & haven't gotten any complaints yet.

Haven't made any of it for a long time now..  :)   But I got no
complaints back when I was doing it. :)
 
 RH>>> Next time we go to a Korean place, I want to get a seafood
 RH>>> pancake. (G) 
 NB>>> See if it's as good as the one we had...?   We heard from our son
 NB>>> that his then boss (a Korean woman) said that Seoul Garden has the
 NB>>> best seafood pancakes in town...  :)
 RH>> We'll have to see if the Seoul Garden down here has one equally good.
 NB>> I thought yours was Seoul House...?   Ours isn't part of a chain, just
 NB>> a local one off...

 RH> Ours is not a chain, and it is the Seoul Garden. I thought yours was
 RH> the Seoul House. Either way, they're both good.

Now I AM confused... (G)   I looked mine up in (admittedly an old) phone
book and it was clearly Garden... but, yes, I'd been thinking ours was
House...  Hmmm... that might explain my original confusion, too... when
I thought it was Garden, but it turned out to be House when we got
there...?   Dunno...  (G)
But if yours is as good as ours, then yes, they're both good, though,
and that's what counts... ;)
