Hi Nancy,

We're on, I think our 3rd iteration. Started with a basic one,
years ago, and have upgraded twice.

I don't think I'd have used it enough to justify getting one...

You might surprise yourself on how much you actually use it. (G)

Maybe, but I doubt it... :)

Yes, you know what works best for you. We've used one quite a bit
since coming back from HI.

We aren't so much into gadgets and accessories or appliances...

But Steve is. (G) Got our first one as a trade with one of our friends
years ago. She had one, didn't want it. We had a duplicate copy of a
cook book (We'd bought one, given another copy.), "More With Less" that
she was interested--wanted to buy from us. So, a trade off benefitted
both of us.

Which is less likely now that you are older...

True, and I'm not about to get into a lot of what I did when
I was younger. Should set up the surgery date tomorrow or

Friday. NB>> That, too... Do you have the surgery date now....?

No, the lady who schedules it was in a meeting. No calls Thursday or Friday from her either, sigh!

At least your phone goes with you, so it wouldn't be left as a message waiting for your return... :)

True, but now we have the date of March 21.

it's still looks like quite the empty shell but a lot more work has been

Cole slaw can be a "safe" thing to try, to help assess how good a new

We do--it's near Costco and Trader Joe's.

Which makes it convenient... :)

Very much so. We don't go to TJ's that often but will appreciate the convenience of it all.

And once the Wegmans opens there, you'll have a wider set of reasons
for making the trip... :) And if there are also some interesting additions to the plaza, there could be even more reasons.... ;)

Most likely so. (G)

Sigh! My usual side there is cole slaw. Better than a lot I've
had, not as good as my home made. (G)

It's decent stuff, true... but I can only eat so much cabbage
at a time... ;)

I know, but we don't go there that often. I'll make cole slaw from
tine to time, and if we go somewhere new, it's usually one of my side orders. Some places it's almost as good as mine, others, I would just
as soon forget about. (G)

Cole slaw can be a "safe" thing to try, to help assess how good a new place is... and/or to fill out a meal... At Friendly's, I tend to get
the cole slaw and the steamed broccoli... and maybe snitch one french
fry from Richard... don't really want a full order of fries anyway...
:)

Both Steve and I usually order side salads instead of fries. He
suggested we try the new Popeye's yesterday but I counter offered trying
a new to us Korean place nearer to where we were. Went with that
instead, good food but won't replace our favorite Korean place in
Raleigh.

Possibly some of the same favorite recipies?

Possibly... :)

Might be interesting to compare notes some time.

Bring them to a picnic sometime... or bring yours with you next
time you come north....?

Probably easiest to just bring the cook book. (G)

That's what I meant... bring the cookbook... ;)

OK, I'll do that.

Or if we're meeting elsewhere, both of bring ours... :)

Sounds good however we decide to do it.

I got curious, and took mine down off the shelf and flipped through
it.... Looks like I mostly was doing lentil recipes from it... and the
easy moussaka recipe.... saw a few notations, and a few splotchy stains,
but mostly didn't recognize recipes as ones I'd done... We had a family
living with us for a while, she went through that book and starred
recipes that appealed to her... so there's notations that weren't even
mine in it... :)

With it middle of February, it'll be more winter fare after
all, though.... ;)

We've got stuff on hand for that in the freezer.

So you'll be all set... :)

We'll still have to pick up some greens and other veggies, fruit,
eggs, etc from time to time.

That pretty much goes without saying... in our house, add milk to
that... ;)

Our yogurt is your milk. We go thru a lot of it--found a strawberry-rhubarb flavor in Siggi's yesterday in Publix. Got a couple
to give them a try.

True... :) How is the strawberry-rhubarb flavor...?

Other buildings in the plaza are now under construction also,
no idea what they will be.

Guess you'll find out as things progress... they might not
even have solid tenants for them yet....

Just have to keep checking every so often.

Yup... :)

We do--it's near Costco and Trader Joe's.

Richard might order a side salad on occasion... but I'd not, since it
wouldn't have Fu's dressing for it.... ;0

Good enough when most convenient to go to... but a B list, so not likely
a destination place.... :)

OK, still will be fun to compare. I used recipies from all over the
book, ranging from the soybean granola to the gingerbread with wheat
germ and a lot in between. The Indonesian shrimp burgers (pia-pia) were
one of our favorites when we lived on the coast and could get shrimp at
a better price. I also grew my own sprouts on a more regular basis when
we lived there.

time, along with Mother's in the Kitchen (LLL), as my primary three cookbooks...

I was using MITK, Deaf Smith Country Cookbook, James Beard (a basics,
covers a lot but not whole grain--I made the recipies whole grain)
cookbook, some Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook recpies (also made them
whole grain) and probably others. When "Whole Foods for the Whole
Family" came out in 1981, I got a copy--used it a lot then, and still
use it a lot.

I never cared for blue cheese dressing. Since Steve said it was one of
his favorites (talking about it before we got engaged), I gave it a try
once. It was way too strong for me--overpowered the rest of the salad. I
like blue cheese in small amounts but that was way too much! Side
note--my parents, once Dad started eating salad, bought only blue cheese dressing. If we were visiting, I usually had my salad without dressing
or sometimes made my own version of 1,000 Islands.
