 RH> Good. I've got a number of my spices in either the fridge or freezer
 RH> to keep fresh.  Sniffed some of the Italian ones I've had in the fridge

 CS> I've never bothered but i do keep them in a cabinet away from light.

 RH> I do that with most of mine but didn't have any empty jars when we got
 RH> these spices. They come in a zip top bag--easy to grab a good pinch.
 RH> I've got some jars now but haven't done the transfer yet.

I have no empty jars at all just now. Thats comes in time.  Some of my spices
are in ziplocks like you (ones i shipped to myself).
 
(on eating out)

 RH> That it does.  And with just the 2 of us...........  We tried a
 RH> Pepino's (Mexican) the other day.  Their menus have printed on them
 RH> that they give a 20% discount to military so our meal, including tip
 RH> was about $20.  Steve got chili colorado--quite hot & spicy.  I got a

See, thats what we dont have just now.  10,000$ worth of bills and there ya go.

 RH> chips and salsa on the table as we sat down, even before giving us a
 RH> menu (had to ask for it and what non alcholic drinks were available). 

Expected to have them there right away.  Thats how it is in Mexico.

 RH> Steve has come to the conclusion that Mexican places in Savannah are
 RH> about like the Korean ones in HI--fairly low cost (Mexican are a bit
 RH> more so) and quite prevalent.

Even have'em here.  Mi Casita!
 
 CS> Today, I looked over my uniform for checking in tomorrow.  I couldnt
 CS> find but 1 black sock.  Go figure?  Since i needed a few things (last
 CS> shopping trip mentioned a few things would run low in 1-2 weeks) we
 CS> went to Harris Teeter.
 
 CS> The reason for Harris Teeter this time was a loss-leader sale.  Snow
 CS> crab legs for 6.99$ buy 1 lb, get one free.  Got some.  At the same

 RH> Sounds like a winner to me.  We looked at the tuna at Fresh Market on
 RH> Saturday; it looked fantastic but at $9.99/lb and our cash on hand
 RH> being limited, we passed it up (this time).

Ah, I'm spending money at the grocery store on the good stuff.  Normally we
eat out more but not just now.

 RH> Fresh Market has quite a meat/seafood/poultry case.  Most everything
 RH> is pricey so we've not tried much.  They even sell crab cakes, kebabs,
 RH> and all sorts of easy to cook and eat pre done "fancy" things but at a
 RH> fancy price.

I find I like doing my own better and I'm fast at it so it's not a problem.
 
 CS> Got my socks.  Not a horrid price as they look like they are pretty
 CS> nice. 2.50$

 RH> And if they hold up for a few wearings, then they will be worth it.

Looking well enough after 3.  Cant tell they've been worn yet.
 
 CS> Got some fruit and stuff for Charlotte.  Got to show Charlotte how to
 CS> not buy a fruit when the canalopes came up.  Some were starting to get
 CS> moldy so I explained that meant the whole batch would go shortly even
 CS> if you found one without any mold in the batch.

 RH> She's not too young to start learning these things. Talked to Rachel

Nope and as we've been doing many things like that as soon as she could read,
she's pretty advanced as far as average adults go on many grocery shopping 
tactics.

 RH> last night; she told me she got a cake pan that makes a dozen cup cake
 RH> sized pieces, that when put together, make a car.  She will do that
 RH> for Robert's 4th birthday; he's still car/truck/plane, etc crazy.

Cute!  I have to get a cake mix for Charlotte so we can make her one.  Birthday
looms close (16th).
 
 RH> Instead you get to go back to work. We now have less than 18 months
 RH> until Steve retires.

Same for me as Steve and i are pretty close on such.  May 2009 for me.
