Hi Nancy,

 NB> the  NB>> SS... If he's only 62, it makes really good sense to wait
 NB> until he  NB>> gets the full amount at 66... pushing it further might
 NB> or might
 NB>  NB>> not...  :)

 RH> We're doing a bit of financial rejuggling to accomodate car payments
 RH> now.

 NB> Hmmm...  maybe time to rethink what you might need coming in, then...
 NB> ;)

We'll see how things settle out over the next few months. Right now the
freezer is still quite full, fresh veggies are available at the farmer's
market, have lots of wheat to grind into flour, etc.


 RH> Traded our 09 Escape on a 16 model so we can tow a small (Casita)
 RH> mobile unit. The 09 Escape doesn't have enough "oomph" to tow anything
 RH> over 2000 lbs; we needed something a bit stronger.

 NB> Thinking towards a trip west, then...?  Or just traveling in
 NB> general...?

Both, actually.

 NB> something  RH>> like 18 grams of carbs per cup as compared to 96 or
 NB> there abouts for  RH>> sugar makes it easier on my system.
 NB>  NB>> Sounds like they aren't adding a lot of the maltodextrine,
 NB> either,  NB>> then...  :)

 RH> No, just enough that it had to be added on the package labelling.

 NB> And apparently enough to give some benefit in baking...  :)

Maybe to make it more equal in volume to sugar; I'm not sure.

 NB>  NB>> It won't be long before she'll be eating regular people foods...
 NB> ;)  NB>> And you'll be back to making at least some things gluten-free
 NB> to
 NB>  NB>> accommodate her...  ;)

 RH> Wr'll see how that plays out in the future.

 NB> True...  :)

Saga to be continued...............

 NB>  NB>> Probably be back at our church next year...  but maybe by next
 NB> time  NB>> at that church things might be different...  :)

 RH> Time will tell--you have almost another year yet.

 NB> True enough... :)

 NB>  NB>> Meanwhile, at our church's annual Thanksgiving (regular November
 NB>  NB>> second sunday) dinner, there were lots of non-gluten
 NB> alternatives,  NB>> including a non-gluten apple pie that my sister
 NB> made... Tony was
 NB>  NB>> ecstatic over it... told her she'd hit a home run with that
 NB> one... ;)

 RH> Hit a home run for him, struck out for you.

 NB> I didn't mind... there were plenty of other options for me... :)
 NB> Lydia made a pumpkin pie, an apple pie, the gluten-free apple pie, and
 NB> a mixed berry (strawberry, raspberry and blackberry) pie.  And

The mixed berry one would have been my first choice; Steve would have
made a beeline for the pumpkin.

 NB> someone(s) else
 NB> had made a pecan pie, and a couple of other fancy pies; and there were
 NB> also a couple of gluten-free "crumbles", one apple, one pumpkin...
 NB> With a big bowl of real whipped cream (supplied by Lydia), and a
 NB> couple of
 NB> 3-pt vanilla ice cream cartons...  :)  I had a slice of the pecan pie
 NB> with the whipped cream, and a slice of the mixed berry pie... didn't
 NB> really miss the apple... :)

I might have had a taste of the pecan pie but not a full slice like I
would have enjoyed some years ago. But, a taste beats none at all.

 NB> ladders  NB>>> and cherry-pickers...  ;)
 NB>  RH>> It still would have had an overabundance of avocadoes.
 NB>  NB>> Then you should have sold them off to the grocery stores... (G)

 RH> Technically they belonged to the Army as the tree was on an Army post.

 NB> Ah... so you'd at very least have to get permission... :)

If it was worth pursuing.

 NB>  NB>> I guess they don't keep well long-term, unless processed into
 NB>  NB>> something like guacamole, though....

 RH> Even guacamole doesn't keep very long unless it's frozen or has
 RH> preservatives added.

 NB> Even vacuum sealed and refrigerated...?  But frozen works, too...  :)

Never tried vaccuum sealing it but overall, it's someting best made
fresh each time you want some. We don't add any sort of preservatives
for longer keeping, as you would find in grocery store guacamole.
