Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> just-pre-) wife make it once... it was during the week before
 NB> the  NB>> wedding, while we were all getting ready for it...  ;)  I
 NB> think that  NB>> her mom might have been helping make it, too...  :)

 RH> You need help at the end, getting everything together so it can all be
 RH> served hot. It is a bit of a production, doing it with red cabbage and
 RH> noodles, spaezle or whatever & gravy but the taste is well worth it.

 NB> That was indeed the case then, as well..  ;)  I think she may have
 NB> enlisted my help crumbling gingersnaps, too, for the gravy...  ;)

I put them into a zip lock bag , padded it with newspaper and took a
hammer to it this time. Other times I've used a rolling pin on the bag
but saw the hammer this time and thought it would do a better job, only
giving one wrist a work out.

 NB>  RH>> Only partial chaos now.
 NB>  NB>> Getting there...  ;)

 RH> Bit by bit. Steve is working on sewing room modifications (more
 RH> shelving) now. This morning we did run around errands, this afternoon
 RH> we cooked for Life Group.

 NB> Yup, bit by bit...  and getting to be workable, too...  :)

The kitchen is pretty much in place, sewing room has all the big things
set up. I've got to do some reorganising to get stowage for the odds and
ends but it'll come. Once I load up the buffet, the living room will be
almost box free.......................................

 NB> shower)  RH>> needed there. We'll probably keep using the green print
 NB> (Hawaiian-ish)  RH>> we've used in other places for that, even while
 NB> it's blue.
 NB>  NB>> That would work...  :)

 RH> Front bathroom now has an aqua colored rug, master has a cream colored
 RH> one. Aldi's had a sale. (G)

 NB> How convenient...  ;)

Yes, but they had no big aqua rugs, only one cream one and it had a spot
on it (but we got it anyway). Nice thick, cushy feel to it too.


 NB>  NB>> Buys you a little time... and a chance to figure out what you
 NB> really  NB>> want to do in there...  :)

 RH> Figure out what we want, how to do it and save up the money for it.

 NB> Yup.   :)

It'll all get done, plus the extras. Steve had to go on line to order a
drop down hinge for my cook book drop down shelf, the big box hardware
stores didn't stock it. The hinge was expensive, but a pre done shelf
was over twice the cost of a hinge, and materials to do the job aren't
too costly.


 RH> Steve was talking about redoing the kitchen counter tops; that will be
 RH> a relatively soon project but probably not for some months, at least.

 NB> Before or after the pantry overhaul...?

The pantry redo, if there is one, will come whenever we add the garage.
That's some years down the road yet.

 RH> In time. I got more of the kitchen set up yesterday but still missing
 RH> a box or 2 so nothing is finalised yet--but closer.

 NB> Need to locate those wayward boxes... :)

It's just small stuff in them; I've got the big things put in place now.

 NB>  RH>> Seems like it, but really, probably 100, give or take.
 NB>  NB>> I did hope I was way over-exaggerating there...  (G)

 RH> And in reality, it's well under 100 boxes to go thru yet.

 NB> You're getting there...  ;)   When you do find that cookbook, set it
 NB> someplace safe... and re-findable...  (G)

Trouble is, finding a safe and refindable spot around here. It's a very
fluid location, depending on what room we're working on.
