Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I want to say Eisenhower administration; it seems like a 50s kind

-> I was around in that administration but I don't think my mom made
-> anything like broiled tomatoes. She canned them to serve as stewed
-> tomatoes, use in "chili" and spaghetti sauce. We also ate them in BLTs
-> in the summer but broiled--not on your life! OTOH, white sauce was
-> (AFAIK, only) used for mac & cheese.

 RH> Mine didn't make anything like them either.  My dad liked his tomatoes
 RH> best raw.  He wasn't all that fond of tomato-based sauces.

Dad eats tomatoes in "chili", pasta sauce and raw.  He also eats them
stewed; when I was growing up, Mom would set a small bowl at his place
for stewed tomatoes. She never put hers or us kid's servings in a bowl
tho. I don't serve stewed tomatoes as a vegetable but do use them in
other ways.

-> -> encountered. When we moved to Frankfurt from Texas, the girls were
-> -> several weeks ahead of their classmates. Three years later we moved
 RH> to Berlin and they were again about 3 weeks ahead of their
 classmates.

->  RH> That adds up eventually.

-> The kids caught up while we were in the States on leave in December.

 RH> Good thing too.  It's almost too bad they're older.  I know a "kid"
 RH> now who was home-schooled who got a college degree and his high school
 RH> diploma the same year.  It was on of these on line programs, but not a
 RH> for-profit school.

The grandduaghter of one of our neighbors did it this past spring but
thru public school/college. She actually had her college degree before
her high school diploma. One of the youth in our church is doing the
same thing.

-> -> better. Didn't have any with supper last night as they stocked pepsi
-> -> products.

->  RH> I don't generally drink it after lunch, but have been known to down
 RH> a cappuccino after 8pm without ill effects.

-> Not being a coffee drinker, it doesn't bother me in cappuccino. (G)

 RH> No fear; I'd drink yours too.(G) If Steve didn't beat me to it.

I suspect you would get it; Steve's not that much into cappuccino. He's
got a French press and an espresso maker & I know he's had some
cappuccino pods for the Keurig but it's not a "regular" for him. Most
days he just has one cup (mug) of coffee but some days will not only
have it in the morning, but make a "to go" mug. He's at an all day
conference today & unpacked a (dirty) travel mug when he came home for
lunch. The conference goes to about 9:30 tonight (with a supper break),
then runs from 8-12:30 tomorrow. I'm using some of the time to finish
the family album quilt top, just have to join the rows.

Catch you later,
