Hi Michael,

 RH> Steve just said that it's actually warmer in LVNV than in San Tan
 RH> Valley (southeast of Phoenix, Mesa, where Deborah lives). From what I
 RH> understand, the heat dome will last for a few more days yet out there.

 ML> And then the temperature will subside to the normal 108 or so.
 ML> I don't understand how such places ever were settled.

Settled in the winter? (G) Seriously, it could be worse. We had a rather
cool and wet June (and so far, July). Didn't get above the mid 80s today
but a year ago had a stretch of 100+ days, including a 105.


 ML> I use the front of my shirt, near where the buttons are - is
 ML> that called a placket, or is that something else.
 RH> That area works too. And yes, properly the whole thing is the placket
 RH> but most often the term is (improperly) used for the button area of a
 RH> polo type shirt.

 ML> OK. I think I sort of understand.

Good, at least you knew the term, which is more than a lot of folks do.
They might call it "the area used to wipe the neck of a soda bottle
after your friend drinks from it, before you do" or something like that.


 ML>    Either way, if you're out west right now, drink lots
 RH> of water, not so much alchohol as it is dehydrating.

 ML> Thanks for your concern. In recent years, post-Lasix, I do
 ML> pay some attention to this issue.

I have ever since we moved to AZ. Didn't pay that much attention to it
when we lived in TX but probably did up my water intake. We lived in
west TX for 4 months (March-June), then moved to the central part of the
state. It was a bit more humid there so there wasn't quite as much
emphasis on staying hydrated unless you were doing something outdoors.
When we moved to AZ, it was really emphasised that we needed to have a
water bottle with us just about any time we went outside.

 ML>       Title: Japanese Gyoza Pot Stickers
 ML>       1 tb Cooking wine
 RH> If I were to use wine, it wouldn't be cooking wine.

 ML> Well, cooking wine is denatured with salt, though as for you
 ML> the ethanol content is relevant, I would substitute vinegar
 ML> in this recipe.

Sour wine. (G) Add a bit of stevia or something of that sort too?
