===========================
Hi Glen,

 RH> I remember having some button up the back things and the pain they
 RH> were to wear.  Sisters weren't always co-operative in fastening them
 RH> (G) so I stopped wearing them as soon as I could.

 GJ> I can well believe that!

Makes sense to me to dress in what I want, not what my mom has found in
some obscure place and bought because it was cheap now. (G)  Seriously,
my mom can't sew and with 5 of us kids, even as the eldest girl, I wore
lots of hand me downs from who knows what source.  With my girls I could
custom make clothes for them.

 RH> than leather.  I've not seen any button hooks but have read about
 RH> them. A side note; our daughter Rachel celebrated her 10th wedding
 RH> anniversary with David yesterday.  One of the suggestions we were given

 GJ> A dress made for a wedding anniversary? That must make it very
 GJ> special.

No, for the wedding in 1997.  But Steve did talk to her on Saturday &
found she & David went out to dinner (for their anniversary) where the
steaks alone were $45. each & the sides extra. As the wedding reception
wound down, I packed a basket of sandwiches, fruit, veggies and such
like for them to take along.


 RH> easier; I forget which of her attendants buttoned her up.  The dress
 RH> had a zipper underneath but there were 72 buttons, of which 24 were
 RH> functional, the rest were decoration only.  Rachel sewed the buttons on
 RH> the dress; I sewed the dress itself, as well as the 3 attendants'
 RH> dresses.

 GJ> "Attendants" as well?  That sounds almost like a repeat wedding.

No, this was the original wedding. My train of thought must have gone on
a slight side track regarding the wedding & anniversary.

 GJ>       3 c  Vegetable stock
 GJ>       1 ts Nam Prik Pow sauce

 RH> I found small bottles of a similar fish sauce in the Oriental Market a
 RH> few weeks ago.  Makes more sense for the amount Steve and I use to buy
 RH> them vs the big bottles we've seen elsewhere.

 GJ> It is a very useful sauce, but you don't need much at a time.

As we found out the first time I tried using it in HI. (G)  The small
bottle holds maybe half a cup or so, if that.


 GJ>       Title: Clam Adobo
 GJ>  Categories: Mains, Seafood, Filipino
 GJ>       Yield: 4 servings

Never would have thought of clams in adobo but don't see why not. I've
got to make some chicken adobo one of these days but it'll wait until
next month at least now.
