Hi Dave,

 DD> I cook other things in her kitchen - but, not chilli. My chilli rig

 RH> I use bells quite a bit, and had a friend in AZ who thought they were

 DD> I like bell peppers anywhere from raw (crudites) to cooked to mush
 DD> (but, not totally liquid). I rather enjoy the #2 diesel undertone that
 DD> MLoo seems to hald against them. I have never found *any* discernable

We are using more red, orange and yellow bells instead of the green
ones; the others are sweeter than the green and we like the taste
better. I will, sometimes, use a mix of green and one of the other
colors but rarely straight green any more.

 DD> heat in a bell pepper - except some Mexi-bells that I crossed

 DD> minor wakeup. About (I estimate) 1,000 scovilles.

We did that accidentally in Az--didn't realise the jalapenos would
cross pollinate with the bells, even at a distance. We had mild
jalapenos and bells with a bit of a kick to them. The latter were good,
once we realised what had happened; the former were quite disappointing.

 DD> biggest hit I had here (other than a simple chuck roast) was the Swiss
 DD> Chicken.

 RH> Calls for an encore performance?

 DD> But, of course. I think I'll add bacon on top this time, too.

What about some thin sliced ham?

 RH> you missed going to either of those two exciting places. (G)

 DD> The only time I left the US whilst in the Navy was when I wangled my
 DD> way as an "observer" onto a P2V doing an around-the-world "training"
 DD> flight. We hit Japan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Australia, Indonesia,
 DD> India, Iran, Greece, France, Great Britain, Iceland, Greenland,
 DD> Canuckistan (Goose Bay, Labrador) and back to NAS Memphis. Geez, the
 DD> inside of one military airfield looks much like the inside of any
 DD> other.

Yes, they all look a lot alike but you can say you've been around the
world. I've beeh half way around, Steve has made it 3/4 of the way.


 DD> In other parts of Memphis I saw Johnny Cash - before he left Sun
 DD> Records, Carl Perkins (who did the ORIGINAL "Blue Suede Shoes") and
 DD> went to a party at Graceland, invited by Elvis himselvis.

 RH> I think I first really became aware of Johnny Cash and Elvis in my
 RH> early teems--but wasn't allowed to buy any of their music. Dad and Mom
 RH> did watch the Johnny Cash show on tv, but there wasn't much of a choice
 RH> on other shows so they picked the best of the worst, in their opinions.

 DD> Wonder what they had against Johnny Cash? Elvis I sort of understand -

Haven't the foggiest but most likely because he was modern music, not
what they had grown up on.

 DD> there was a blue-nose bunch who were condemning his "sexually
 DD> suggestive" gyrations when performing. But, I wrote those people off
 DD> as transferring their own suppressed libidos to others. Or just people
 DD> who believed than since their lives weren't living up to their
 DD> expectations and were not fun that no one else should have any
 DD> enjoyment of life either.

 DD> 40 & 8 as well as Post Commander of Post 32) but, I have a problem
 DD> with joining auxiliaries in my head.

 RH> Depends, some of them are real go getters in their own right. Our
 RH> Auxillary sponsors a 5K fun run, a holiday craft fair and other events.

 DD> What they do is what they do. No concern of mine. I keep busy with
 DD> chilli suppers and sometimes serving meals at the 8th Street Rescue
 DD> Mission (long since moved from 8th St.) or the Helping Hands Shelter.

 DD>  ---------->B CUT 8<-------------

 RH> Yes, you do keep quite busy. We'll drop a level in busy-ness after
 RH> December 13. Today we were at the city Veteran's day ceremony, followed
 RH> by a mid day meal at TX Roadhouse. Steve was at an early morning flag
 RH> raising & breakfast at one of the local nursing homes. Had church
 RH> nursery duty tonight, plus choir practice so I'm doing Fido a bit later
 RH> than usual.

 DD> I went to the local Golden Corral for breakfast to meet my friend,
 DD> Les. But, despite his assurances that GC was open on 11/11 for
 DD> breakfast ....... we wound up at Denny's (the local ones have become
 DD> nice again) for breakfast. Then I was at the local Hy-Vee (our

GC does a buffet the Monday after Veteran's day; we may go this year.
Haven't fully decided yet because this one gets very crowded and I'm not
that impressed with most of their foods.


 DD> Wegmans) for some shopping and went to their Marketplace Grill for
 DD> lunch. My server asked if I was a vet, thanked me for my service and
 DD> Hy-Vee comped my lunch --- something I had not expected as there was
 DD> no notification in the media. But, quite a nice gesture.

Nice, we've had a few things comped for Steve's service. He has a couple
of ball caps that ID him as a vet or retired; people notice them and let
him know his service is/was appreciated.

Catch you later,
