We thought so.  :)

I suppose that if you plan not to have the pockets, you wouldn't be
surprised by their absence...  :)   For some things, the pockets are
particularly nice, though.  :)

 NB>> Did you find out what was happening at the home for your mom's diet
 NB>> and all...?

 RH> You should have my e-mail by now. Basically her diet is better

 RH> Lots of other issues tho, as you'll read (have read) about that have

Email received and read... answer to follow later... :)

 NB>> My dad would do some minor tweaks, like what to add to the basic
 NB>> recipe... the usual was raisins in the oatmeal cookies, at Christmas
 NB>> time, he'd use candied fruits, and put a red or green candied cherry
 NB>> half on the top to make it festive.

 RH> Sounds like he had fun. I like a chewy oatmeal/raisin combo but Steve
 RH> would rather have nuts than raisins in his cookies.
 
He enjoyed baking and cooking... he made a pretty good peanut butter
candy, too.  :)   My sister often puts chocolate chips in the oatmeal
cookies...

Especially since you were willing to try out the various things that the
new areas offered instead of looking for the "American" stuff...  :)
