Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Let's plan on it. I'll have to verify when Olindo's is open so

 NB> our Italian  RH>> goodies.
 NB>  NB>> Ok...  Dunno if they are open on Sunday, but they might be...

 RH> Probably not, but we try not to do things like shopping on Sundays
 RH> unless we have to. Question is, what other days do they close? I think
 RH> they close at 5; we were in the store once near closing time and they
 RH> were trying to get folks out quickly.

Just checked on line, they're closed Sundays but open the rest of the
week until 5. Opening at 9 (or was it 8?). I'll recheck before we go
there.


 NB> We try not also... I don't really have a clue what their hours are or
 NB> which days they are open, guess you'll have to look into that.

I just did, open every day but Sunday.


 RH> OTOH, we got into Aldi's last
 RH> week at 7:55 (closing time listed as 8) but no mention of "We are now
 RH> closing, please bring your purchases to the front..........." as we've
 RH> heard in other stores. Got out about 8:30 and the cashier was as
 RH> cheerful as if we were his first customer of the day.

 NB> Sometimes the closing time is when they stop letting people into the
 NB> store... :)   And probably the cashier hadn't been there since the
 NB> store opened in the morning... and/or was just cheerful because the
 NB> end of the shift was at hand... :)

He's probably not been at the register the whole time but may have been
in the store doing other things for some hours beforehand. Anyway, it
was nice to have a cheerful person checking us out, not one that was
growling about late shoppers.


 NB>  NB>>> Like the durian, worth a try... (G)
 NB>  RH>> He liked the durian, after finally working up to trying it.
 NB>  NB>> Exactly... ;)

 RH> but he sure took his time working up the courage (?) to try it.

 NB> Building up the suspense... for himself as well as the rest of us...
 NB> ;)

OTOH, I tasted it quickly, and without much ado.


 RH> I'll leave my consumption of it to when there's other people to share
 RH> it with. We've seen them in Asian markets here & there but never
 RH> bothered picking them up.

 NB> I've seen it locally, in the Asian market... Jim White got a picture
 NB> taken of him holding one... but I don't think he ever actually tried
 NB> it.... ;)

T'is a brave person who tries it alone, especially if not in a setting
where it's a known product.  Had we encountered it in Asia, we probably
would have tried it as a matter of course, but being in the US, it was
more of an item of curiosity. Plus, we'd read a lot about it over the
years on the echo.

 NB>  NB>> Probably still a good idea to label them as yours, just in case
 NB>  NB>> someone got ambitious and did some clearing out... :)

 RH> Little likelihood of that but a note to the wise wouldn't be a bad
 RH> idea.

 NB> That's what I'd figure...

Sharing allowed for good behavior?

 NB>  RH>> But wasn't to be last Saturday, probably not this one either.
 NB>  NB>> Eventually... :)

 RH> This week looks more "normal" for our Saturday schedule. I should be
 RH> able to get back to the farmer's market. Other run-around is TBD.

 NB> Some weeks are just crazy... and others even crazier...  (G)

Yes, we did get to the market but home right after as it was so hot out.
Tomorrow will be cooler so maybe we'll stay out longer.


 RH> ... Nothing is ever lost. It's just where it doesn't belong.

 NB> Exactly...  (G)

And around here, finding the new place to keep anything can be
interesting. It's a matter of "now where was I keeping this item before
I used it and put it in the dishwasher yesterday?" kind of thing, mostly
in the kitchen.
