 RH>> The beans, eh, we just wanted to have a vegetable with the fish. It

 NB>> Makes sense, too..  :)  And sometimes even canned tastes ok when one
 NB>> is hungry enough...  ;)

 RH> OK, good but not great. Tasted like canned beans.
 
Well, yeah...  ;)

 RH>> Good and gone is the best description for them. (G)
 NB>> They do sound good.  :)

 RH> They are very good. When Rachel graduated from high school, we
 RH> combined with several other families for a pot luck party. There were
 RH> several dishes of beans; when I picked up my crock pot to go home,
 RH> there were still a lot of beans in the other dishes. I got the corck
 RH> pot home and could barely scrape a half cup's worth from it.

Guess more people took their seconds (etc) from yours...  or knew to hit
it in the first place...  ;)  Hope the other families enjoyed their
leftover beans...  ;)

 RH>>> Sounds good, hope the mail man isn't a chocoholic. (G)
 NB>>> I hadn't thought of mailing them... do you think they'd survive
 NB>>> that...?
 RH>> Don't know, depends on how warm it's supposed to be. We're on a
 RH>> downward trend again but even low to mid 70s is not good chocolate
 RH>> mailing weather.
 NB>> Maybe in the dead of winter...?

 RH> According to the NC wooley worms, it's supposed to be a colder winter
 RH> than last year's.
 
Maybe mid-winter I'll mail them out, then... unless you happen to be up
this way in the meantime...  ;)   Meanwhile, they are safely in the
freezer, so I won't be eating them all up inadvertantly..  ;)

 RH>> Steve said that the price of chocolate is headed up so we stocked up
 RH>> (a bit) at Aldi's today. They didn't have any of the mint bars but had
 RH>> a new hint of sea salt flavor so I grabbed a couple to try.
 NB>> I hadn't heard that... probably won't have too much of an impact on
 NB>> us, unless it jumps the price of things so high that we can't afford
 NB>> it at all...

 RH> I'd not heard it either.
 
Maybe it was just an idle rumor...?

 RH>>> There are so many other things that go well with chocolate--mint,
 RH>>> for example. (G)
 NB>>> I'd agree with you... but Richard isn't keen on mint at all...
 NB>>> tastes differ, as always...  ;)
 RH>> As always. I have made chocolate chip cookies, subbing out mint
 RH>> extract for the vanilla, and gotten the "something's different about
 RH>> these cookies, not sure what it is, but it's good" reaction. Then I'll
 RH>> tell the questioner what I did and the light downs. It's a subtle taste
 RH>> difference, but makes a really good chocolate chip cookie.
 NB>> As I've mentioned before, that would be enough to spoil it for
 NB>> Richard... he'd taste it, identify it, and pass it over to me...  ;)

 RH> You take his chocolate and mint, he probably takes something you
 RH> dislike.

He likes the chocolate just fine, just not the mint... and he likes the
PB that you detest and that I mostly just tolerate...  ;) 

ttyl        neb

... I'm not out to lunch, I'm out for a four course meal.
