Hi Nancy,


 RH> The rice cooker will probably be stowed except for times when I need
 RH> to make a larger quantity. The crock pot feature of the new gadget
 RH> will be used if I need a bigger than my baby but not as much as my 6
 RH> quart pot.

 NB> So the new gadget gives you a medium size rice cooker/crockpot, a
 NB> useful size for much of your cooking...  :)

Very much so. Steve used it to make rice the other night as I was
working on the rest of supper.


 RH> We used the pressure cooker function yesterday to cook the pumpkin
 RH> we got at the farmer's market (forgot to mention in previous message's
 RH> listing). 2, about 2 cup containers of pumpkin now in the freezer.

 NB> Good provision... a couple of pie's worth, or maybe for a soup...

We'll see, in time. Got a pie pumpkin, it's also cooked and stowed so
we've got 5 more cups of pumpkin to use.


 NB>  RH>> Depends on how much room we have as I want to move the freezer
 NB> out  RH>> there too. Once we start talking with an architect, we'll
 NB> have a
 NB>  RH>> better idea of the room available.
 NB>  NB>> True enough... ;)

 RH> Probably not til early next year tho.

 NB> Makes sense...

Time, and money. Running out of time this year, and can save the money
for a bit longer.

 NB>  NB>> Worth checking out... they might not charge a premium, might
 NB> just  NB>> see it as a way to give a group a little more privacy...
 NB> :)

 RH> From what my neighbor said, I got the impression they do charge, and
 RH> not a low price either.

 NB> Best way to find out would be to ask Angus Barn directly, I'd think...
 NB> ;)

I will, if we think we want to go with that as a group event.


 NB>  NB>> The audio tape record of our wedding (unedited) has my grampa
 NB> (one  NB>> of the officiating ministers, and the one that did our
 NB> vows) asking  NB>> Richard if he would take "this man to be your
 NB> lawfully wedded wife"...  NB>> a great pause, no response from
 NB> Richard, and then Grampa restated it,  NB>> this time properly... to a
 NB> quiet background of chuckles...  (G)

 RH> WHOOPS! We didn't do any recording except pictures.

 NB> We had pictures, too...  :)

Our hired photographer's pictures didn't come out but we've got a lot
from other sources. My aunt also shot a movie, IIRC.


 RH> We're now back, and we did stop again at Brook's in Oneonta. I asked
 RH> our waitress what kind of vinegar is in the marinade. She asked the
 RH> kitchen; they said it's cider. So that's probably why the knock off
 RH> recipe uses it also, sigh. But, you can maybe try their ribs (which
 RH> we've not yet done).

 NB> Interesting that the kitchen uses cider, but the bottled version is
 NB> simply vinegar...  I've been experimenting with having things that use
 NB> cider vinegar, in the hopes that it might be safe after all... so far,
 NB> no reaction, but I've not gone overboard on anything... just
 NB> discovered that something we've been eating does have cider vinegar in
 NB> it, along
 NB> with red wine vinegar and regular vinegar... maybe it's just a small
 NB> enough quantitiy not to trigger, or maybe there's hope for using cider
 NB> vinegar after all... ;)

Let's hope so; it would be nice if you could tolerate it enough to enjoy
things made with it. At least we now know what kind Brook's uses for
their chicken.

 NB>  NB>>> So, I looked it up... Emerald is 55... :)
 NB>  RH>> OK, so I've got to wait 15 more years for that one.
 NB>  NB>> Yup...  Maybe by then, there'll BE a Green Lobster chain...  (G)

 RH> I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

 NB> I wouldn't either... but one just never knows...  (G)

There might be something just as far out, time will tell.
