Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> That was at a different place, a Mexican place I just tried with
 NB> a  NB>> friend...  The thread up to now was about a Southern cafe in
 NB> my
 NB>  NB>> neighborhood...  ;)

 RH> OK, I'm going crazy and losing track of what's going on. Enough other
 RH> goings on in my life right now that my focus shifts easily from one
 RH> track to another.

 NB> And, if the thread goes on long enough, it's easy enough to lose
 NB> track... ;)   More likely that I might become a regular at Arnett Cafe
 NB> (the southern place in my neighborhood) than at Don Patron (the
 NB> Mexican chain place in Henrietta)...  :)  Although, I am going for a
 NB> second try at the latter, with the second friend...

Both sound like it would be easy to be a regular at. I was at an Italian
place the other night with a couple of friends; Steve and I had been
there before, as had one of the other ladies but the other lady hadn't.
We were able to come up with a gluten free, dairy free meal for her and
she enjoyed it.

 NB>  NB>> The dish that Linda had at the Mexican place we went to had a
 NB> sneaky  NB>> heat... she said at the beginning that it was quite mild,
 NB> but as she  NB>> was finishing it up, she was saying that the heat
 NB> grew on you... ;)

 RH> I had that at a Thai place in HI once. Started out nice and mild,
 RH> ended up burning hot. Not fun, made the dish less enjoyable.

 NB> Hers didn't get unbearably hot, just hot enough to clear the
 NB> sinuses... She doesn't mind a little heat, and in fact had noted that
 NB> it seemed a
 NB> bit too much on the mild side at first... :)

That's the way this Thai dish was.


 NB>  NB>> None of mine was particularly spicy, even the chile relleno...
 NB> But  NB>> it was tasty...  :)

 RH> Tasty is a big factor too. Not all Mexican or Tex-Mex has to blow your
 RH> doors off to be good. More of it should be on the mild, to low heat so
 RH> the flavors come thru.

 NB> And if one wants it spicier, that's what the little bottles of red and
 NB> green hot sauce on the table are for... :)

Or ask the witer to ask the cook for more heat.

 NB>  RH>> It'll go either on our bed or hung over the bed on a quilt rack.
 NB>  RH>> Haven't decided which way to go with it yet. I put the top
 NB> together  RH>> but somebody else long arm quilted it for me.
 NB>  NB>> So it's just about finished now, once the cross stitching is
 NB> done...?

 RH> Once the cross stitching is done, the project is done. It's all
 RH> quilted and the binding is on, so I just have to finish the stitching.

 NB> Nice..  :)

Yes, and it will be cold enough later this week to work on it again. (G)

 NB> have to keep those in  RH>> hard copy. Still, I'll greatly reduce the
 NB> number of PB books on the  RH>> shelves, make room for more cook
 NB> books.
 NB>  NB>> Another project...  ;)

 RH> Always. I'm catching up on Fido tonight so I can use spare time to
 RH> sew tomorrow.

 NB> And I'm spending time now on Fido to try to catch up after other
 NB> things took time away... spent Saturday getting tax forms and
 NB> instructions..
 NB> another major project, since I do our taxes...

Always something to keep us busy. (G)

Catch you later,
