 RH> Both my brothers are unmarried so pretty much had to cook for

Some see the need (or benefit), others never do...  :)  The older of my
brothers at least got into making things like the family recipe of
peanutbutter candy even before leaving home, the younger of the two was
somewhat artistic (was going for a pottery degree at RIT) so enjoyed
mixing "messes"...

 RH> No, but I've known some who make the piano sound very mechanical.

For sure...  but not only ones with scientific minds...

A good eye for color and form is what's needed there... :)

 NB>>> Other than apple, we've not gone quite that far... We do tend to
 NB>>> not buy things that have too many things in it that we aren't
 NB>>> comfortable with, though...
 RH>> If it has a list of chemicals for flavoring and preserving a mile
 RH>> long, it goes back on the shelf.
 NB>> Most of those don't even come off the shelf in the first place... ;)

 RH> Some of them look interesting so I'll pull them off for a closer look.
 RH> Then I start reading and find out it's not what we want to eat.

Yup, sigh...  ;)  After a while, one starts to have a sense, though,
which are likely to not come up to standards, no matter how interesting
they appear...  ;)
 
 RH>>> And looking at a late July, early August time frame this year.
 NB>>> We'll have to see how things play out as we get closer...  :)
 RH>> Yes, maybe we can combine it with a trip to Olindo's when we go
 RH>> into Rochester.
 NB>> Possibly you could stay a night with us, and combine with visiting our
 NB>> church, as well...  :)

 RH> That would be fun. Think Richard could take it?
 
He should be ok with it... a more likely problem would be whether or not
you'd be able to take our cats.... or the dust... 
 
 RH>>> ... It's as easy as 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841!
 NB>>> Yup, quite...  (G)
 RH>> Blueberry, pecan or chocolate?
 NB>> Probably pecan... or something even more labor-intensive... ;)

 RH> Chocolate silk from scratch?

Never tried that one... :)

ttyl          neb

... Straighten up the house? When did it become tilted?
