 BG>  Hello Sean, nice to make your acquaintance

 Eh!, It's a phase we go through.

 I was up early this morning, shoveled the snow, walked about six blocks
 over to the mailbox, then read my emails and spent some time trying to
 get a new web page built.  No time for sleep it seems now.

 We share that pleasure.  I used to cook, but have been evicted from the
 kitchen as of the past seven or so years.  I don't complain as she has
 become much better than I, less creative but generally better tasting
 stuff.  :-)

 We are doing some California grapefruits from Meyers.  Compared to the
 Texas Reds over at the K-Mart they are bitter and small.  Dorothy is
 not allowed to buy my grapefruit now.
 

 SD> It sounds like you're eating really well.  We received a George
 SD> Foreman grill for Christmas, so we have been using that to cook
 SD> chicken breasts on.  It's extremely easy to use, fast cleanup and does
 SD> the chicken just right.  I love it.  We go to Kroger (across the

 SD> with some peas (a small amount since they're starchy) and that's a
 SD> good dinner for me.

 I looked at those, but have stayed away so far.  My stove went to heck
 a year or so back and I bought a new one.  Went gas instead of electric
 and that is providing me with plenty of *interesting unexpected*
 results.  :-)  We are in for chicken breast today and it will be
 interesting as Dorothy ask me this morning if I liked raisins.  :-)



 SD> Now here's a little something you could eat that's yummy and not too
 SD> bad for you:

 Thanks, it looks good.  I have a large MM database but forgot how to
 add things in a message.

 Bob
