Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> name...  His first name happened to be one from my family and
 NB> also  NB>> from Richard's mother's family... but not specifically
 NB> picked because of that...  :)

 RH> My mom & dad used a lot of family names. Bill was named for his
 RH> grandfathers but it was also the name of Dad's older brother. I think
 RH> Marta was the only one not to get a family name. It is interesting to
 RH> see how they carry (or not) down generations.

 NB> With larger families, sometimes one goes back a few generations to
 NB> pick up names to carry on...  ;)

You have to, or risk having several in the same generation carrying the
same name. Nothing wrong with that, just keeping sorted who's in what
family gets to be more fun for later generations.

 NB>  RH>> But, he met them, finally. They probably just thought he was
 NB> another  RH>> grown up, nobody they could play with. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Something like that.  ;)  His generation is spreading out more,
 NB> so  NB>> there are some of his cousins' kids he's not met, but that's
 NB> the way  NB>> it goes... :)

 RH> We understand. Steve's dad was one of 11 so Steve has lots of cousins
 RH> (mostly beyond first) that he doesn't even know.

 NB> That's the fun of genealogy...  running into cousins you never even
 NB> knew you had...  ;)  Of course, most of them are much more distant,
 NB> but that's the fun of it too...  :)

And there are those that may be related on first glance that end up not
being so.


 NB>  RH>>> And if they get splatted with cooking grease or sauce or
 NB>  RH>>> whatever, they can be tossed and a new copy printed.
 NB>  NB>>> That, too...  :)
 NB>  RH>> Helps, having it clean enough to read. (G)
 NB>  NB>> True.  :)

 RH> That way you don't mess up the amounts of key ingredients. (G)

 NB> Theoretically...  (G)

Of courst by the time it gets grease splattered, you've probably made
the recipe enough times to be pretty sure of the amounts needed of most
all the ingredients.

 NB>  NB>>> Seems sensible...  :)  I'm rarely following a recipe that
 NB>  NB>>> closely... ;)
 NB>  RH>> Some I do, especially if it's something I've never made before.
 NB>  RH>> Others I do, just to keep track of what goes into it. Still
 NB> others  RH>> I ignore any print version of and wing it. (G)
 NB>  NB>> I'm usually in the second or third category... or somewhere in
 NB>  NB>> between...  ;)

 RH> I don't fit in any one specific category either; I think that comes
 RH> from years of cooking experience.

 NB> And thereby a certain degree of confidence in the kitchen...  :)

Yes, I'm no longer a slave to the cook book, be it a virtual or an
actual one.
