Sundays are almost always over-packed already... as was the case yesterday... we left the house our usual just after 9am, and didn't
return until 12 hours later... SS, church, an outdoor reception there,

That's sort of what I meant, regarding me.

By the time we get home, the brain is usually fried... ;)

Too many drugs ... you've been drug too many places.

You could probably have cut out a thing or two and
had a satisfyingly eventful day.

As most Sundays are... :) Not really anything that was actually
cuttable there... ;)

Any reason why everything has to be done on Sunday?

us (she has a very small stomach, and decided that she'd not likely end
up eating the rest later) even though she quite liked it.... Linda had a mild version of a (cooked) beef dish with the gomen and I think lentils, and Randy had the doro wet with some side....

I hope there was a certain amount of trading of bites?

Randy and Linda aren't all that into trading bites... and besides he had somthing that was on our sampler plate... Renee's was also on our
sampler... Edith's more into the sharing, which is why we did the
sampler for three with her... :)

Good for Edith. I'm not favorably inclined toward
those who don't trade bites, either for aesthetic or
(bogus) hygienic reasons!

my friend the security expert instead.

That's one way to protect yourself... ;) Wi-fi doesn't do me much good,

Plus I always introduce at least one misprint in his
e-mail address.

Ah... that's also a way to protect you both... :)

I also have a couple of spamcatch e-mails of my own,
but it's been a while since I've checked any of them.

as my laptop needs direct connection... and besides, most places I go, like the Pond or wherever my family's camping ends up being, don't have wi-fi or any internet connection at all... And couldn't hook into my sister's internet when I was downstate for my aunt's funeral back in May...

What sorts of ports does it have?

A slot for a network card, and beyond that I'm not sure... no USB,
anyway... power, printer, speakers, a place to plug in the cord for the
house network, not sure what else... You can take a look at it
sometime... :)

Ah, but it doesn't look promising, and anyway if
you had something that would allow you to connect,
you'd have to install the software and drivers and
yadda yadda.

Can't do much about interruptions of service... ;0

There's always the public library.

Not really for trying to telnet into bbses... that's not usually

Yeah, the library would be best for online answering.

Which I'm not really into doing....

Depends for me on the pressures of the situation.

She sounds enthusiastic about the upcoming trip with
Swisher. Just so we don't overtax her system, everything
should be just fine.

Hope it all goes well... :)

We shall see. It looks pretty bulletproof at
this point, but bullets have a way of sneaking in.

I suppose, but then Wegmans does do things according to seasons... there are some things one can only get at some particular time, such as hot cross buns only during Lent, Irish potato bread only for St Patrick's, fruitcake during the holiday season... and certain varieties of candy
only at Easter, or harvest/Halloween, or at Christmas...

Hum - you're not supposed to get hot cross buns for
the first, what is it, 38 days of Lent.

But aren't you supposed to be able to get them after Easter, then...?

Traditionally no, as they were Good Friday precelebration
food to be finished by Easter (bakeries closing after
baking them for the weekend), and I don't see them as good
enough to seek out out of season, but people are funny.

Title: Hot Cross Buns
Keywords: Breads, Rolls, 1941

Prepare a dough from any roll recipe. When ready to be formed
into rolls turn onto lightly floured board and roll in sheet 1
inch thick. Cut into rounds with a floured cutter. Place on
well-oiled pan. Cover and let rise until treble in bulk. Brush
the surface of each bun with egg white diluted with water. Cut a
cross on the top of each bun with a sharp knife. Bake in hot
oven (450ÿ F) 12-15 minutes. Brush the surface of the freshly
baked buns with sugar and water. Fill the cross with a plain
frosting.

Replying from the Pond, 10 Sept at 6:20pm...

Sundays are almost always over-packed already... as was the case yesterday... we left the house our usual just after 9am, and didn't return until 12 hours later... SS, church, an outdoor reception there,

Summat... ;)

You could probably have cut out a thing or two and
had a satisfyingly eventful day.

As most Sundays are... :) Not really anything that was actually
cuttable there... ;)

Any reason why everything has to be done on Sunday?

All but dinner was a church-related function... and we traditionally eat
out on Sundays anyway.... easier on me than trying to fix a meal,
especially on Sundays where I'm playing for one of the services... :)

Good for Edith. I'm not favorably inclined toward
those who don't trade bites, either for aesthetic or
(bogus) hygienic reasons!

It's a different culture, I suppose... ;) And I don't think it's really
for either aesthetic or hygenic reasons, just not their style... :)

So hopefully nothing legit ended up there,,, :)

Yup, and that too,,, :)

I do have other alternatives, anyway... we've used the church's internet (wiring my computer into the network) and Fu's (ditto)... and when I'm
here at the Pond with no service, I can just work at answering messages
into a reply packet to upload when I get home... easier than finding a
library around.... :)

Swisher. Just so we don't overtax her system, everything

We shall see. It looks pretty bulletproof at

You'll have taken that trip by now...?

Hum - you're not supposed to get hot cross buns for
the first, what is it, 38 days of Lent.

But aren't you supposed to be able to get them after Easter, then...?

Traditionally no, as they were Good Friday precelebration

enough to seek out out of season, but people are funny.

The ones that Wegmans makes are pretty nice... they used to be even
better, but the recipe got tweaked to make them healthier, I suppose...
it used to have candied fruit in it, now it's just raisins and citrus
peel... the roll itself is still nice, and the frosting cross also...

ttyl neb

... Better than the Other Leading National Brand...
