Quite.   :)

Part of that could have been her teacher...  Learning piano is more than
just the notes on the page... but some teachers don't really get that...

Other than apple, we've not gone quite that far... We do tend to not buy
things that have too many things in it that we aren't comfortable with,
though... 

 NB>>> Coleslaw was something we didn't have growing up, and my MIL was
 NB>>> just a basic cook, didn't get into doing much of that sort of
 NB>>> thing...
 RH>> My mom never made it but we kids tried it once or twice--just cabbage
 RH>> and mayo. Not the best, but a starting point.
 NB>> A beginning to further experimentations in cooking... ;)

 RH> Also getting a good recipe helps. Thanks to my MIL, I got a good cole
 RH> slaw one. She pointed me to another one that's popular in their
 RH> community in FL; we tried it but went back to the original.
 
You found one you liked..  :)

 RH>>> OK, I see. Decisions, decisions......................
 NB>>> There will be lots to choose from... ;)
 RH>> But little time, unfortunatly.
 NB>> So true..  :)

 RH> And looking at a late July, early August time frame this year.

We'll have to see how things play out as we get closer...  :)

 RH> ... It's as easy as 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841!

Yup, quite...  (G)
