Hi Nancy,


 RH> No, and we had a nice sunny day for the market yesterday. We picked up
 RH> a few odds and ends--peach empanadas, muscadine grapes, spelt cinnamon
 RH> rolls, a patty pans squash. Given a pistachio shortbread cookie and a
 RH> couple of cinnamon rolls.

 NB> That sounds better... and nice haul there...  I haven't seen the
 NB> pattypans show up here yet, but it should be the season for them... :)

I didn't get to the market today so will have to go with what's on hand
for veggies next week. I'll slice the patty pans squash, dip it in flour
and fry it for one night's veggie. Last night I did a clean out odds and
ends of veggies stir fry for supper but held out the patty pans.


 NB> remembered from the old  RH>> recipe but had trouble finding until UDD
 NB> pulled it out.
 NB>  NB>> Makes sense that it would have been a Pillsbury recipe, too...
 NB> :)

 RH> I've got it back now, after I don't know how many years since I
 RH> misplaced it so now I can enjoy it again.

 NB> So now, just make sure you don't lose it again... ;)

That's for sure! It's on the computer, plus a paper print out to use in
the kitchen. BTW, I was reading a bit on convection ovens, said they're
good for roasts but not so much for other longer term things so I'm not
sure if I'll do bread on that cycle or not. It's good for shorter term
things--Steve roasted some pumpkin seeds in it, took 10 minutes to cook.


 NB>  RH>> not sure of our end of the year plans--depends on timing and
 NB> finances.  NB>> The one you're about to do.... and then, maybe FL for
 NB> the holidays  NB>> with Steve's parents...?

 RH> Debating heading west instead of south.

 NB> Ah... seeing your kids and the grands...  :)

Yes, we've not been out there since August of 2013 when the last one was
born.

 NB>  RH>> Quite a haul, there. How are you going to cook the pork
 NB> tenderloin?  NB>> Probably just bake it... some of it might end up as
 NB> leftovers... serve  NB>> it with some sort of veggies, maybe some baby
 NB> red potatoes too...

 RH> Sounds good. Maybe glaze it with something to add flavor?

 NB> Won't need to add flavor... it's a Smithfield seasoned with
 NB> peppercorns and garlic...

OK, I see. I've seen them both plain and seasoned, so figured it was the
former, not the latter.

 NB>  NB>> Good news, now he also knows a good mechanic in Watertown... (G)

 RH> That is good to know for just in case, or routine maintainence if
 RH> you're at the camp for a prolonged time.

 NB> Mostly the just in case... he'd already found a good one in Canton,
 NB> which is closer to the camp...  :)

Never hurts to have a back up one tho. We've taken our car to the Ford
dealer but the extended warranty is now expired, not sure where Steve
will go with it now.


 NB>  NB>> You'll come home to a decently stocked fridge... no need to have
 NB> to  NB>> shop immediately when you get home... ;)

 RH> No, we did some shopping yesterday but glad we didn't need to rush out
 RH> the same day we got home.

 NB> Indeed.  :)   I try to plan to have something in the fridge or freezer
 NB> for fixing the day or so after returning... rushing out as soon as you
 NB> get home isn't much fun when you've been on the road for a while... ;)

Our custom (since the girls have been gone) is to go out for supper the
first night we're home. It gives me a bit of time to decompress and
think about what we need to get.
