 NB>>> You got your ice chests back from loan then....?  :)
 RH>> Not yet but I can improvise with boxes. Stuff won't be out that long
 RH>> that I'm worried about a major defrosting of everything. Then too,
 RH>> have to see how the rest of the week runs.
 NB>> And if it's fairly cool, things won't be as quick to warm up,
 NB>> either... I'm guessing that the freezer really doesn't need a major
 NB>> defrosting either....?  :)

 RH> No, it really needs more of an inventory/reorganisation than
 RH> defrosting. But, while it's empty, might just as well get the ice out.

What little there is there.... :)

 RH>>> Yes, depending on how many crusts I accumulate, how much I use
 RH>>> the crumbs and so on, some good use will make itself known.
 NB>>> And what you need leftover bread for...  ;)
 RH>> We don't have much call for leftover bread as such. It either gets
 RH>> eaten or goes into the crumb bag
 NB>> I was thinking of the things you listed above... croutons, bread
 NB>> pudding...  I crumble bread from the original bag for things like
 NB>> salmon loaf...  :)

 RH> OK, bread vs crumbs, I see. If I do any sort of out of the normal
 RH> crumbs, I can use them in things where I might want something with a
 RH> different flavor. Other things, I'll want the flavor of just the whole
 RH> wheat crumbs and whatever herbs/spices I add.

The few times I get into a major cooking mood, I'm probably a lot less
fussy than you are about things like that...  :)
 
 NB>>> We haven't tried to do any real composting.... but then we also
 NB>>> don't generate a lot of kitchen scraps anyway...  ;)
 RH>> With all the fresh fruits & veggies we go thru, we can generate a good
 RH>> deal of compostable stuff in short order. We also put coffee grounds,
 RH>> tea bags and egg shells into it.
 NB>> We tend not to peel stuff, I only cut off the ends of veggies, and
 NB>> there aren't any coffee grounds around here... not many tea bags or
 NB>> eggshells either...  And grass cuttings stay on the lawn to feed the
 NB>> lawn, and leaves get mowed to break them up into a sort of mulch... :)

 RH> Steve has a couple of compost bins going so puts the grass clippings
 RH> in them. He's planning to add mowed leaves also, after he fixes the
 RH> mower. He hit a stump the other day & knocked the timing out of sync.
 
Ouch... that's no fun...  Yeah, if we had compost bins going, there
would be more reason to put yard debris in with the rest, too... but not
likely to happen here any time soon... :)

 RH>> N knows his way around a kitchen quite well so he's a big help
 RH>> if Deborah has to work late; she also has more of a commute than he
 RH>> does.
 NB>> So things work out pretty well there... they can balance things out
 NB>> to reflect how things are playing out... :)

 RH> Overall things seem to be working out. There have been times Deborah
 RH> has had to go out of town for a military school or conference where N
 RH> has had to single parent. Nice thing now, as opposed to when I did it,
 RH> is that Skype lets them stay more connected.

There are indeed some very nice aspects of modern technology... :)
