Hi Nancy,

 NB> differently... ;)  RH>> OK, I'll probably be making an appointment
 NB> sometime next month anyway.  NB>> Worth checking into, anyway.. :)

 RH> YEs, I'm going to see a new eye doctor anyway so may as well start in
 RH> with hard questions.

 NB> Might as well..  Starting fresh, you can lay the groundwork for a good
 NB> doctor-patient relationship, too... :)

Nothing wrong with the doctor I had, but the billing was always messed
up.

 NB> wasn't the same white as  RH>> the one I had. Got the first one,
 NB> hopefully will have enough to do the  RH>> project. If not, punt.
 NB>  NB>> Hope you did get enough.  :)

 RH> I'll see, once I start cutting the next quilt. Still have 2 blocks to
 RH> make on this one, then get the 36 blocks joined before working on the
 RH> next one.

 NB> I suppose if you end up needing more after all, it would still be the
 NB> luck of the draw whether you were looking for a match sooner or
 NB> later...

I should be able to find it; there are a couple of chain fabric stores
in Raleigh, a few independent quilt shops there, and one in WF. So, I've
a number of places to search if needs be.

 NB> change my  NB>> relative color perception... swatches to bolt would
 NB> probably have been  NB>> accurate before the surgery... but I might
 NB> have had a surprise at what  NB>> the colors/whites really were in the
 NB> finished product afterwards... ;)

 RH> Sounds logical. Yuu might have seen or perceived a color change in
 RH> some of your herbs and spices, but by checking with the done, vs the un
 RH> done eye, you could have verified there was no actual change.

 NB> And, once both were done, I see things as they are with both... the
 NB> main reason I decided that the docs were right that I would want the
 NB> second
 NB> eye done once the first was, actually was that dramatic color
 NB> perception change... so I was glad then that I'd already reserved a
 NB> surgery date...

Good to know that everything came out. Are you picking out fabric for a
quilt now or just more discriminating in your colors when you buy fruits
and vegetables?

 NB> clerk came back with  NB>> two halves, already weighed and labled... I
 NB> took the smaller of the  NB>> two, and both of us were happy...  :)

 RH> Good deal for both of you. My MIL has a huge cabbage and a piece of
 RH> corned beef she wants me to cook. I'll probably only do half, at most,
 RH> of the cabbage and we'll still have left overs.

 NB> She saved it for you to do the honors, eh...?  ;)   Sounds like you'll
 NB> be making a large batch of coleslaw for her, too... ;)

I did the corned beef and cabbage (also potatoes and carrots) Wed.
night; we left Thru. morning so I didn't have a chance to do the cole
slaw. I used the smaller half of the cabbage (and had left over) so yes,
she will have a lot of cole slaw. (G)


 NB>  RH>> We like it as cole slaw most of the time.
 NB>  NB>> We like it that way once in a while, too...  :)

 RH> That's one way to go thru a good bit of mayo, tho I've tried to cut
 RH> down on the amount I use for the slaw.

 NB> I've mostly just bought the ready-made slaw dressing... One of the
 NB> refrigerated brands has a nice one.

I use mayo, sugar (stevia), S&P and a bit of pineapple juice for
dressing. The slaw has pineapple in it so I've got the juice handy. It
also has carrot and cabbage--simple but good, and not a problem to make
the dressing since I've got all I need on hand.


 NB> year, the  NB>> piece of corned beef would probably have been about
 NB> the right amount  NB>> for a decent supper meal of hash... although I
 NB> might have had to have  NB>> cooked more potatoes... :)

 RH> Can't win for losing--or 2nd guessing.

 NB> One just has to be flexible... or plan well for the outcomes... ;)

Either way works. My MIL had some veggies left over but only about one
slice of the beef. I've no idea what she will do with it, probably use
it for lunch.

...  It works!  Now, if only I could remember what I did.
