 NB>>> either... I'm guessing that the freezer really doesn't need a
 NB>>> major 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.
 NB>> What little there is there.... :)

 RH> I'm not sure how much there is, not really paid attention to that when
 RH> I've been digging thru it recently.

Clearly not enough ice to make you notice, then... ;)

 NB>>> I was thinking of the things you listed above... croutons, bread
 NB>>> pudding...  I crumble bread from the original bag for things
 NB>>> like 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
 RH>> whole wheat crumbs and whatever herbs/spices I add.
 NB>> The few times I get into a major cooking mood, I'm probably a lot
 NB>> less fussy than you are about things like that...  :)

 RH> Just a matter of personal preferences I guess.

Yup.  ;)

 RH> Steve made salmon patties tonight for supper (as I was doing other

 RH> crumbs so I crumbled a piece of whole wheat, a regular slice, not a

 RH> was going to do that but began to run short on time so I asked him to
 RH> do the salmon for me. He's a "follow the recipe" cook for the most

Not the worst thing that could happen... ;)   I tend to be a "look at
the recipe and then do my own thing" type of cook...  ;)  Mostly I look
to see what sort of proportions, and then adapt to what I have and/or
simplify steps...  :)

 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.
 NB>> Ouch... that's no fun...  Yeah, if we had compost bins going, there
 NB>> would be more reason to put yard debris in with the rest, too... but
 NB>> not likely to happen here any time soon... :)

 RH> We have a yard that needs improving. After he got the timing fixed, he
 RH> was mowing again yesterday and hit a root, twisting the blade nicely
 RH> on one side. So, back to Lowe's..............................
 
I'll say you have a yard that needs improving...!  Roots, stumps jumping
out to wreck mowers... ;)  
   
 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
 RH>>> he does.
 NB>>> So things work out pretty well there... they can balance things
 NB>>> out 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.
 NB>> There are indeed some very nice aspects of modern technology... :)

 RH> Yes, Steve has just logged on to Skype so hopefully Rachel will see
 RH> we're available tonight.

Did you get to see the grandkids...?  ;)
