True, but we have at least 3 complete sets of china (the full ones, serves 6 or
8, plus we have at least 2 sets that serve 4).  We have a dishwasher too <g>.

I'd be more worried about chairs as we don't have many.

(Snip).  Yes, she cooked several things, and that is in her line.  She's lined
up a mail order spice company for the things she wants that arent easy to get
here.  They reduce the price substantially for bulk orders so folks were
looking over items via laptop down in the community room while we cooked. 
WiFi there now <thank you Charlotte!>.

Tina is fitting in really well here.  She even makes her own stock it turns out
as she had to, in order to get salt-free stocks.  Makes sense.  Now folks are
tossing their chicken carcasses her way and the rest of us tossed various
recipes we think well of to her as well.  Mochiko gave her one of his better
ones for fish stock (Mochiko is a nickname, it's actually Sam but we have 7
guys here named Sam...).  Mochiko is confusing as it also is close to Michiko
(one of the wives here but we startd calling her 'Chicky' and it stuck ;-) 
She's a tiny little thing, size 1 probably and eats like a bird.  Won't eat
red meat but loves chicken and anything seafood.

Chicky is a trip!  I don't see her as often as I'd like but her Husband works
on the ESSEX.  HUGE guy, probably 6'6 and 240lbs of solid muscle.  Body
builder type of guy.  One of the 7 Sam's ;-)  We nicknamed him Samson
obviously.  Mixed Hawaii-Samoan ancestry.  Comes from one of the other islands
but i forget which one, just not the same one you and I lived on.  Anyways,
when you see Chicky and Samson together, you just shake your head and laugh. 
2 kids who eat anything and everything in sight and are shooting up like the
proverbial beanstock.

Anyway with 60 families in the same building, there's alot of people here ;-)
and there was even another 'Samson' sort a bit back who's transferred to
Yokosuka who's wife was also tiny.  I forget now what her name was.  Filipena
lady.
