 NB>>> So it should be available in time for you to present to the

 ML>> I certainly hope so.
 NB>> Has that been accomplished yet...?
 ML> Not fully. I'm planning my late September trip with

Glen's trip is in August, though...?
 
 NB>> Hmmm...  NuSalt looks more friendly, but apparently deriving the

 ML> Friendly and effective are not always on the same page.

Quite.  :)

 ML> There's also a McCormick product, called simply something
 ML> like Salt Substitute, which does the job okay, but I still
 ML> like NoSalt better.

I keep forgetting to look in the spice aisle when I go to the store...
 
 ML>> To make a "real" pizza, some other stuff would have to be

 NB>> Which was what the other ingredients were for... :)  Or one would have
 NB>> to spread the toppings pretty thin, just to provide the taste... :)
 ML> This is why the psyllium (i.e. unflavored Metamucil)
 ML> option intrigued if not tempted me.

Give it some body...  :)
 
 ML>> Of course you will give a full report.
 NB>> Oh, I will..  :)  I might even report on the restaurant... it's a
 NB>> second location for the Indian restaurant I took you to
 ML> Ah, the place with very good but not nearly hot enough
 ML> food. I still hold the sweet-and-sour eggplant against
 ML> it, though.

Despite the craziness of this week we did manage to make our date with
the Fords.  Both are in good health and spirits, and we had a long
leisurely dinner just visiting... :)  They've been keeping busy with
coach trips and such, along with delivering Meals on Wheels a couple
times a month.  And, of course, their season tickets for the local
baseball team... Did some more encouraging for them to come to the
picnic... Shirley was wondering if anyone has ever made Dutch lettuce at
a picnic, so of course I suggested that she could do that for this
one... ;)  No firm commitments, but also no definite not-comings... :)

As to the second Tandoor location, the two people in front were people
we recognized from the other location (and they in turn recognized us),
and Richard noticed that at least one of the cooks there was one we've
seen at the other as well... so it's no surprise that the food was
pretty much the same as what we are used to finding at the Henrietta
(original) location.  Fords enjoyed the food there, as did we.  :) 
Nothing particularly stands out about the offerings, other than they did
have the goat curry this time, nice and meaty and not too full of
bones... also, there was tandoor fish, very fresh tasting and moist
white fish in a tandoor coating... Both Burt and Shirley were pleasantly
surprised at how good it was (as we had been the first time we tried
it)... otherwise, the usual... tandoor chicken, various veggie dishes,
etc.  The saag had additional veggies in it instead of the paneer... so
it wasn't quite as spinachy as usual, but still tasty... :)  They had
mango juice available on the buffet as well as the chai... The Fairport
location has the dinner buffet on Wednesdays, while the Henrietta one's
is on Tuesdays....  This will make a convenient halfway meeting spot for
us, about 1/2 hour for us as well as for Fords...  :)
