Hi Dale,

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

 DS> We use both green and red.  The orange and yellow always seem to cost
 DS> more and don't seem to add anything different from the reds except for

The orange and yellow cost the same as the red around here. Only the
green one is cheaper.

 DS> color contrast.  There are reds that look like ripe green bell peppers

I get the orange or yellow for the color contrast, especially if I've
got something red or green as part of the dish already.


 DS> in shape (and that is probably exactly what they are), and there are
 DS> reds that are longer.  We like the second variety better.

They're both good, IMO. I'll get whichever is available, but it seems
the default is generally the bell.


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

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

 DS> Modern?  Johnny Cash was Country Western, albeit a bit of an outlaw.
 DS> Elvis was called rock and roll when we were in high school, but now
 DS> seems to have been claimed by Country Western.

He wasn't music of the late 30s into the 40s--when my folks were teens.
Johnny Cash and Elvis both made it big after Mom and Dad were married,
with several children.


 DD> I went to the local Golden Corral for breakfast to meet my friend,

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

 DS> ?  I was under the impression that Golden Corral was always a buffet
 DS> restaurant.  Or do you mean that they do a veteran's special on that
 DS> Monday.

Veterans eat free that day. We pure forgot about it tonight--had left
over prime rib, baked potato (sweet for Steve, white for me), and beet
stems & greens from the bunch I got Saturday at the farmer's market.


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

 DS> After our Bryan got out of boot camp, he was up to visit.  We went
 DS> with him and his wife Nancy to a local restaurant.  He was in uniform.
 DS>  When it came time to pay the bill, the waiter told us it had been
 DS> paid by
 DS> someone -- for all four of us.

Nice, that all of you were covered. While in HI, we went to a lunch time
farewell for several of Steve's co-workers. Most everybody was in
uniform but there were seveal spouses like me in civilian clothes. As we
were winding up, the waitress came up to the LtC and whispered something
to him--he then announced that some unknown person had paid for the
whole party, about 30 of us. That was a nice surprise.
