Make ME some shirts with french cuffs; I think Steve has one or two from
years ago still. Some of the cuff links are pretty enough for me to use.

What's in her dish and what would she rather have? She has salmon and
would rather have caviar?

Which does your mom prefer? She may have made the pie to her tastes one
year, before your dad told her he preferred mince meat? Does the recipe
predate their marriage? Maybe she clipped and tried it out before
getting married, finding out her new husband would rather have mince
meat. All sorts of speculations there.

I do some cooking in it, like the broccoli we had for supper tonight. I
did try a small ham in it when I got the first microwave but it didn't
turn out good. Meatloaf is ok, like most other meats, it doesn't brown
up. The rice pudding recipe we use works well in the microwave--a lot
faster and more energy efficient than the regular oven.

 RH> >  RH> You'd prefer no smoking so you could walk in.

 RH> > Walk in and keep breathing so I could walk out.

 RH> Yeah well.  I've smelled worse things, but not often.

Overflowing hog waste pond? That's what turned Steve off of pork for
years.
