Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Sounds like it would be something that could be marinading
 NB> during the  NB>> day, and then not take too long to cook when the time
 NB> comes... will  NB>> you have a grill available for use...?

 RH> That's sort of what we're thinking. Get it marinading the night
 RH> before, as we're doing the supper clean up, then grill the next
 RH> evening. Some sort of carb to go with it, and a salad & dessert for
 RH> an easy do supper.

 NB> Sounds workable.  :)   There is a grill available at the cottage we
 NB> are renting for the picnic, so that would work, too...  :)

So we can semi plan that for a meal. We ate at the place that originated
the chicken recipe but were somewhat disappointed. It tasted like it
hadn't been marinaded very long; the flavor was only skin deep. Bought a
bottle of the sauce to do a side by side with the home made version back
in NC taste testing.

 NB>  NB>>> True.  He (and the rest of you) will be in our prayers... :)
 NB>  RH>> Thanks, it's not going to be easy. We're going to head up north
 NB> next  RH>> week for it.
 NB>  NB>> When do you leave...?

 RH> After my dental appointment tomorrow.

 NB> So you are probably there by now... Prayers accompany you...  :)

Thanks, services were today. Dad held together fairly well, until the
end but that was sort of what I expected. Had a good turn out of several
of my cousins again, and another one so good to visit with them.

 NB> and garlic  NB>> bread, and I think two of the quesidillas (also small
 NB> and in small  NB>> wedges)... enough to get a meal from along with the
 NB> celery and carrots  NB>> I had from the veggie platters... :)

 RH> Sounds like you did quite well, overall. Non breaded shrimp is so much
 RH> better than breaded, especially if the breaded is fried, then left to
 RH> cool--very unappetising. Any veggies other than carrots and celery or
 RH> are those your favorites?

 NB> And these shrimp were quite nice.  :)  The platters were your typical
 NB> veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes, along with the
 NB> celery and carrots...  Those last are the ones that I tolerate best
 NB> when they
 NB> are raw...  I might have had a couple of the tomatoes, too... either
 NB> grape or cherry tomatoes, IIRC...

OK, I would have done well then.


 NB>  NB>> No, not where I'd be hanging out regularly... but it was a
 NB> friendly  NB>> enough place and not too boozy an atmosphere...  :)

 RH> Nice place to visit but wouldn't want to live there?

 NB> One might say that...   :)

And I did. (G)

 NB>  NB>> How well you know me... (G)  The apple looked pretty decent, but
 NB> the  NB>> chocolate, besides being a lot safer for me, was quite
 NB> tasty, too...

 RH> I'm maybe want to go for the chocolate instead of the apple too. Don't
 RH> know which would have been the bigger carb hit as sugar was probably
 RH> in both of them.

 NB> I really don't know... the apple would have had starches and sugars in
 NB> it, the chocolate had no flour in it (at least no wheat flour) and it
 NB> didn't taste overly sweet, but I'm sure there was plenty of sugar in
 NB> it.

As I said, a toss up as to which I would have gone for. (G)

 NB>  NB>> more, when they use all the cabins at the retreat center, like
 NB>  NB>> for the weeks for camp for kids... ;)

 RH> Pillow fights and all night gab sessions included? (G)

 NB> Quite possibly....  but I've never been there for those...  ;)
 NB> Although, this year I roomed with a dear friend, and we did stay up
 NB> pretty late gabbing... for once we almost had enough time to get
 NB> caught up...  ;)  It was just the two of us in the room, so no one
 NB> else to be
 NB> disturbed...  :)

Finish catching up next year?

Catch you later,
