Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> That's sort of what we're thinking. Get it marinading the night
 NB>  RH>> before, as we're doing the supper clean up, then grill the next
 NB>  RH>> evening. Some sort of carb to go with it, and a salad & dessert
 NB> for  RH>> an easy do supper.
 NB>  NB>> Sounds workable.  :)   There is a grill available at the cottage
 NB> we  NB>> are renting for the picnic, so that would work, too...  :)

 RH> So we can semi plan that for a meal.

 NB> At least as a possibility... :)

That's why I was only semi planning it. A week long time of
cooking/eating will give more of a chance to do more things. Should I
encore the broccoli salad I did last year?


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

 NB> Do you think their quality is slipping, or is it just that your tastes
 NB> are more discriminating now...?   You'll have to report on the
 NB> comparison tasting... ;)

I will report, after we do the testing. We ate at the restaurant for
lunch on Friday. Don said that a mid week meal might have been better as
they really get busy on week ends. It could be, they were gearing up for
the week end when we were there. It's also possible that we're so used
to the home made knockoff version of the marinade that we now like it
better.


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

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

 NB> The up-side (somewhat) to funerals... seeing family you don't see
 NB> otherwise...  Did you have any input into the service...?

Basically, just passing on Dad's request for a certain piece of music.
The pastor covered things quite well, including a bit on the meaning of
the word "cemetary".

 NB> typical  NB>> veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes, along
 NB> with the  NB>> celery and carrots...  Those last are the ones that I
 NB> tolerate best  NB>> when they are raw...  I might have had a couple of
 NB> the tomatoes,
 NB>  NB>> too... either grape or cherry tomatoes, IIRC...

 RH> OK, I would have done well then.

 NB> Reasonably well, with just a modicum of sense...  ;)

Some days even that goes out the window. (G) Other days it's there in
spades.

 NB>  NB>> Although, this year I roomed with a dear friend, and we did stay
 NB> up  NB>> pretty late gabbing... for once we almost had enough time to
 NB> get
 NB>  NB>> caught up...  ;)  It was just the two of us in the room, so no
 NB> one  NB>> else to be disturbed...  :)

 RH> Finish catching up next year?

 NB> We'll have a whole nother year to catch up on by then...  (G)

Yes, but you won't have all the previous years to catch up on, just
whatever you didn't finish this time and this year's events.

Catch you later,
