Hi Nancy,

 NB> should have come  NB>> on hours ago, and let one know that a jacket is
 NB> definitely a good idea  NB>> for outside... ;)

 RH> Yours probably is simple, ours is new fangled electronics.

 NB> True, ours is simple, not electronic... :)

Old fashioned basics win out over new fangled elctronics again. (G)


 NB>  RH>> The bread is gone; it made four rounds. Two went down to some
 NB> Afghani  RH>> friends; we kept 2 and finished the last with supper
 NB> tonight. They're  RH>> good with kalua style pork stuffed into them.
 NB> (G)
 NB>  NB>> Nice thick pocket bread...  :)  Good for substantial fills... :)

 RH> Yes, now we can make the Turkish style doners like we had in Berlin.

 NB> So now it's less necessary to find an authentic supplier here.. ;)

No, especially since Steve just mixed up a double batch.


 RH> We had a pot for a while (Steve had it before we were married), then
 RH> went to a hot air popper. Went back to a pot for a bit, had a stove
 RH> top crank popper in GA and now we're back to a hot air popper. Our
 RH> first ktten knew where the first pot was/when we pulled it out & our
 RH> cocker spaniel knew the sound of the first hot air popper. Both of them
 RH> wouldn't leave us alone until they got their share of popcorn.

 NB> We've had cats that thought popcorn was treats, too...  :)

Sam (the dog) could take it from a toddler's hand with just a gentle
touch of his lips. Kids usually weren't fazed by it, he was that soft.

 NB>  NB>> And you have plenty more projects planned, for which you need it
 NB> in  NB>> good working order...  :)

 RH> That's my travel machine but it gets a lot of work out. Most projects
 RH> are done on my Pfaff, the work horse.

 NB> Ah.  And it's getting to be traveling time, so better to have it in
 NB> good order... :)

Doubt if it's coming north as we'll be taking some things from my aunt's
apartment back with us.


 NB> Preliminary update... the stress test is scheduled for tomorrow... the
 NB> doc is supposed to be using that to decide what and if he should be
 NB> doing back at work at Home Depot... From everything I've been seeing,
 NB> his heart seems to be acting pretty much the same at rest as when
 NB> doing things, so we are hopeful that that will indeed be the case when
 NB> it's  put to the test...

And by now, it should be history. Hopefully you'll get some idea of the
results right away.

 NB>  NB>> heart to tell her that we prefer dark chicken (she made a point
 NB> of  NB>> telling me that it really was white chicken breast, just that
 NB> the  NB>> teriyaki marinade made it look dark) and brown rice (she
 NB> made white  NB>> rice, of course).  It was tasty all the same, and
 NB> made two meals, as  NB>> there was plenty of it.  The second night I
 NB> tossed in some fresh
 NB>  NB>> mushrooms (after steaming them) to balance the sodium even
 NB> further,  NB>> and make a little variety..  :)  We certainly
 NB> appreciated the thought  NB>> and the love behind the meal.  :)

 RH> Those are the times you just smile and say "thank you". Been there,
 RH> done that.

 NB> Exactly.  :)

So, how did it taste?
