Ärende: pies and pork
=====================
Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Condolences on Steve's aunt... had she been sick, or was that a
 NB>  NB>> surprise...?   How large is the pie safe...?  Too bad you didn't
 NB> win  NB>> the prize you were going after... ;)

 RH> We're not sure how big the pie safe is, most we've seen are about 3'
 RH> wide by same tall, and about 18" deep, on legs that make it stand
 RH> about 4 1/2' tall.

 NB> So a good sized piece of furniture...

About standard for something like that.

 RH> We had seens Steve's aunt in August--she looked
 RH> frail but has so for years. She lived in an apartment off her
 RH> daughter's house but had gone blind so was unable to do any sort of
 RH> cooking/housekeeping for herself. Still, it was a bit of a surprise.

 NB> I can imagine... when they hang in for years looking frail, you get
 NB> lulled into thinking they might be around for almost forever...

Like my Dad--he's still hanging on.
 NB> some plan  NB>> for its use that never quite happened..  ;)  In any
 NB> case, now that I  NB>> inherited it, I don't have to worry about
 NB> seasoning it...  (G)

 RH> I bought a plain one the other day, will probably use some of the
 RH> peach/pepper jelly to season it with (brush some on before, during and
 RH> after cooking).

 NB> That sounds good..  :)

That's what I figured.

 NB> church sooner  NB>> than later... it's nice to know ahead of time
 NB> instead of scrambling  NB>> when the emergency hits...  ;)

 RH> True, we know there's good ones at the dealership but don't know the
 RH> out of warranty prices.

 NB> Guess you'll find that out when you might need them... If they are
 NB> good at the dealership, that's not a bad place to take them... We've
 NB> not had good luck with dealership service departments, though, by and
 NB> large...

Steve seems to be happy with the Ford dealership here.

 NB> visit. The  RH>> first was better than the second; the sauce drowned
 NB> out the delicate  RH>> lobster taste.
 NB>  NB>> Now you know...  :)  Was the seafood cannoli a "get again"...?

 RH> Yes, definately.

 NB> Another choice now, when you go there... :)

If it's on the menu that night, yes.

 NB> neutral area  RH>> where you can just relax, catch up with each other,
 NB> have a good meal,  RH>> get fortified for the jobs to do at home, etc,
 NB> etc. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Yeah... something like that...  :)   Plus, at a restaurant, we
 NB> are  NB>> more likely to linger over a meal... sit there for an hour
 NB> or so,  NB>> instead of just eat and off to whatever next as happens
 NB> at home more  NB>> often than not...  :)

 RH> Washer or dryer beeps, pop up to change out loads, that sort of thing.
 RH> I understand.

 NB> Or just the need to unpack, grab the mega-packets of Fido....... (G)

I try to keep up with Fido while on the road but unpacking, finding
nooks & crannies for what was bought on the trip, etc keep me busy.
