Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> At least with the buffet, you can pick and choose exactly what
 NB> you  NB>> take from each tray... and control pretty much how much
 NB> sauce you  NB>> get as well...

 RH> Yes, that's always a good plan. The problem is, trying to decide what
 RH> to try. (G)

 NB> That's part of what makes this little place a good one... a smaller
 NB> buffet, so fewer decisions necessary...  ;)

As long as there are some good for me ones, the size of the buffet is
irrelavent.


 NB>  RH>> At a place like Golden Corral, first plate is salads,
 NB>  RH>> second is meat and some hot vegetable, 3rd is dessert(s). Each
 NB>  RH>> successive plate gets smaller in serving size/number of items so
 NB>  RH>> usually the dessert plate has maybe 2 things on it, and small

 NB> We were just at Golden Corral on Sunday with our "4th Sunday" group...
 NB> my second time there... First plate was mostly salad and veggies with
 NB> a piece of chicken.  Second plate got the steak and a few more
 NB> veggies... and then just a small bowl with a little dab each of a
 NB> couple of
 NB> desserts...  They had some decent fried okra... took advantage of
 NB> that, since not something I'd normally find...  :)

Sounds like you did quite well then. We were disappointed the last time
we went to GC, seemed to have gone down hill in quality overall. For
steaks at a chain place, we prefer Texas Roadhouse.

 NB>  NB>> Or none at all... ;)  The wonton broth would be fairly low carb,

 NB>  NB>> filling,

 RH> That's my favorite part tho, the meat with the noodle.

 NB> Oh, well...  ;)

So I'll go low carb with other choices.

 NB>  NB>> too...  They're all good...  I like the eggdrop soup there,
 NB> since  NB>> he puts some veggies in it for a little crunch, some
 NB> shreds of
 NB>  NB>> water chestnut, a few carrot shreds, a few peas.... :)

 RH> That's the more practical one, all things considered.

 NB> Possibly.   :)

Sometimes you've got to splurge tho.

 NB> staple in the cupboard, too...  I  NB>> don't remember doing things
 NB> with peppers, though... Dunno how high his  NB>> heat level would have
 NB> rated, but I'd figure probably in the range of  NB>> as high as yours
 NB> is now...

 RH> So you grew up eating things spicier than I did. That makes a
 RH> difference, where you start from.

 NB> Probably it could make some difference... and then when I got off on
 NB> my own, I was willing to be adventurous, in heat levels along with
 NB> everything else...  :)

That's when I started eating a lot of things I'd never heard about, or
heard about but never had the chance to try before with Dad's lack of
interest in new foods.

 NB>  NB>> May's going to be a travel month for me, too...  May 2 is a day
 NB> trip  NB>> to Penn Yan for a meeting... then my niece is getting
 NB> married on the  NB>> 16th near Pittsburgh, and the following weekend
 NB> is my Spring board  NB>> meeting for the pond association...  never
 NB> stops, really...  ;)

 RH> We'll have a good amount of time (not quite 3 months) at home after
 RH> this trip before any more travel. The next trip tho, will be a long
 RH> one--visit family in western NY, VT mission and the picnic.

 NB> I'll get a break in June (at least as scheduled now)... and then it
 NB> all starts again.  :)  I might end up with a trip up to the Pond in
 NB> June to get my son up there, if his plans work out the way he's
 NB> currently
 NB> thinking, but I don't know how things will really work out there...

And start surveying things, getting an idea of how things will work out
for August. Will we need to bring sleeping bags, spices, etc?
