======================
Hi Ruth,

-> Well, we did go--and had fun.  It was drizzling a bit but no snow.
-> Steve still has his cold but he's over the worst of it.

 RH> I think something's been going around.  My mother had laryngitis.  I
 RH> had some sort of minor bug that made my tonsils blow up but didn't do

No fun. Steve has given me the cough part of his cold; he's still got a
bit of the stuffy head.  As annoying as it is, I'd rather have the cough
than the head cold, even with asthma.

->  RH> Seminary!

-> Most likely for Steve, not sure about me.  Maybe teaching in a sewing
-> store?

 RH> I can see that one.  The teachers around here in those stores are
 RH> independant contractors, but if you don't have to worry about health
 RH> insurance it could work nicely.

Well, we'll see what's available in the area where Steve goes to school
or where we eventually settle.  Maybe I'll just stay with the home based
work as I've done for the last 30 or so years. I might spend too much of
my paycheck in a store if I worked in their environment. (G)

-> live and some flex within those.  Would like to be near a decent sized
-> commissary for grocery shopping--one bigger than the one here.

 RH> So would everyone.  The one in Groton is supposed to be pretty decent,
 RH> but as a civilian I wouldn't know for sure.


I doubt we'll ever check that one out but, you never know.

->  RH> Hartford is loaded with Vietnamese joints of all sorts.

-> OK, we like Thai and Vietmanese as well.  I'm a bit pickier on the Thai
-> than Korean or others but usually can find something that has no coconut
-> or peanut butter.

 RH> No coconut or peanut butter?  Any particular reason, or are you a
 RH> coconut hater like my mother?

Don't like either of them. Forcibly ODed on the one as a school kid,
just never cared for the other.

->  RH> 5x the price of the truck.
->
Just as long as it's not ravioli stones; scanning quickly, that's what
-> my eye read first time thru. (G)

 RH> Nope - they're red, but red sauce is contraindicated unless they need
 RH> to be cleaned.  Ketchup and other tomato sauces are great for getting
 RH> oxidation off of some settings.

Never heard of that but I can see the reasoning behind it.  Tomato is
acid based and if the acid eats oxidation.............just be careful
that your settings don't dissolve as you're enjoying that bowl of pasta
& the stones drop in. (G)

->  RH> were New
->  RH> Jersey refugees.

-> Well, I had one parent born in NY, other in NJ but still feel more like
-> my roots are in the south.

 RH> Yep - but you're still a Yankee.

In reality, yes but having lived in the south for so long.........OTOH,
my dad has been in Margaretville for close to 60 years and is considered
by some still a newcomer.  So, it goes for the north as well as the
south I guess.

-> ->  RH> Poi - Hawaii's answer to turnips!
 RH> ->
-> -> Now I like turnips!  More like flavored library paste!
 RH> ->
->  RH> Ahhh - boil-in-bag white rice!  Wonder bread!  Gotcha.
 RH> ->
-> Fermented, sometimes flavored library paste. Not white rice/bread bland;
-> the fermentation adds something (tho I'm not sure what) to it.

 RH> Oh dear.  That could be nasty.

Agreed.  I did try it but suffice it to say, if given the option, I'd
rather have something else.  At luaus, the poi, poke and lomi-lomi
salmon are usually served in paper cups on the buffet table so you could
take it if you wanted, or just leave it.  I left the first couple but
did take the salmon.

Catch you later,
