Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> winter wheat berries from them so we can grind our own "regular"
 NB> flour.  NB>> Sounds like you are all set for the winter there, then...
 NB>  ;)

 RH> Getting there, I still have to do the freezer defrost/inventory. It's
 RH> raining today so I've been working on a shirt for Santa instead.
 RH> Tomorrow I'll be making the apple crisp and broccoli salad for the
 RH> church picnic (and more sewing) so the freexer will wait until next
 RH> week.

 NB> You got your ice chests back from loan then....?  :)

Not yet but I can improvise with boxes. Stuff won't be out that long
that I'm worried about a major defrosting of everything. Then too, have
to see how the rest of the week runs.


 NB>  RH>> Yes, and now I've got a full container of crumbs. Depending on
 NB> how  RH>> fast I use them over the next few months will determine what
 NB> the crusts  RH>> from the next half dozen or so loaves of bread will
 NB> be made
 NB>  RH>> into--Italian bread crumbs, croutons or something like bread
 NB> pudding.  NB>> You'll figure it out as you go along, no doubt... :)

 RH> Yes, depending on how many crusts I accumulate, how much I use the
 RH> crumbs and so on, some good use will make itself known.

 NB> And what you need leftover bread for...  ;)

We don't have much call for leftover bread as such. It either gets eaten
or goes into the crumb bag


 NB>  RH>> It's amazing how much we are not using our garbage disposal over
 NB> here  RH>> now that we've started composting.
 NB>  NB>> I'm sure...  :)

 RH> Since I don't put bones down it, and all the fruit/veggie stuff gets
 RH> composted, the disposal doesn't get nearly the use previous ones have
 RH> had. Then too, they were in rentals or military housing so I couldn't
 RH> compost.

 NB> We haven't tried to do any real composting.... but then we also don't
 NB> generate a lot of kitchen scraps anyway...  ;)

With all the fresh fruits & veggies we go thru, we can generate a good
deal of compostable stuff in short order. We also put coffee grounds,
tea bags and egg shells into it.

 NB>  NB>> I'm sure that some were quite disappointed by that... but glad
 NB> to be  NB>> home anyway...  ;)

 RH> Very much so. She was asked to stay on active duty, and has continued
 RH> on, doing quite well for herself. it's a bit harder with having a
 RH> family than when she was single but they're managing to keep things
 RH> running on the home front as well.

 NB> Is he also on active duty...?  Or with a civilian job...?  She has
 NB> older stepkid(s) too, doesn't she... do they help out too...?

He's a paralegal on one of the reservations in the area and coaches a
Native American track team. His daughter (age 13) lives with them but
his oldest son (age 17) lives with his mom. N can pick him up any time
he wants but lately the kid hasn't wanted to get too involved with the
family. N knows his way around a kitchen quite well so he's a big help
if Deborah has to work late; she also has more of a commute than he
does.
