Hi Michael,

I think we did quite well in keeping it stocked but not overstuffed.
BTW, I've still got some of the black olives; Steve doesn't care for
them so I'm slowly consuming them.

 ML> Did you have power outages recently? We heard about the

 ML> the troubles sounded pretty serious.

Our area escaped with 12 days straight of measureable rain but we didn't
get hit as hard as the coastal part of the state. A low pressure system
camped out on the coast; it's what gave all the problems both there and
in SC. We kept power as most of our lines are underground, and no big
trees were uprooted in outer lying areas that might have cut our power.
SC is in a world of hurt right now, especially from Columbia, eastward.

 ML> Probably. As I said, the word pliable means something different

I use my KA mixer for most of the kneading now. At first I was adding
too much flour with it but have learned what looks good and the bread is
turning out better. I made rye bread today, using the Pillsbury recipe
(with tweaks) that UDD posted a couple of weeks ago. It looked and
smelled good; we'll probably slice it tomorrow.


 ML> I had a recipe that went well with this post, but thanks to

Sigh!


 ML> Chicken with forty or more cloves of garlic
 ML> categories: poultry, main, French, artistique
 ML> servings: 8

Easy enough, and I'd probably use my normal sub (chicken broth/stock)
for the wine.


 ML> 8 lg chicken pieces; (or 2 chickens, jointed)
 ML> 40 cloves garlic; or more; not peeled
 ML> 5 celery stalks; halved lengthwise
 ML> - and then cut in 3" pieces
 ML> 1 lg onion; diced
 ML> 2 oz olive oil
 ML> 8 oz white wine
 ML> 2 Tb fresh tarragon; chopped
 ML> ;s&p
 ML> 4 oz half-and-half
