======================
Hi Ruth!

-> -> I'll eat Russian but don't like GG either. I don't like blue; it's too
-> -> strong for a salad for me. but I will eat a piece of blue as a side to
-> -> my salad.
-> 
->  hn> What I try to do with anything other
->  hn> than italian dressing is put it on the side
->  hn> and dip my fork into the dressing before I
->  hn> pick up my salad...use a lot less that way!
-> 
-> I've done that from time to time, especially if it's a dressing that's
-> not my favorite.  Just have to remember to ask that the dressing be put
-> on the side as a lot of places plunk a heap of it on the salad before
-> it's brought out.
-> 
Yes, and it makes it harder to cut back when you can't 
get the kitchen help to cooperate!
-> 
-> -> -> Seems to be; I'm losing weight.
-> 
-> -> That's what counts.  We got our treadmill in HI,from Sears. It got a
-> -> fair amount of use before I broke my foot; Steve used it for PT from
-> -> time to time.
-> 
->  hn> One of the nicest things about the
->  hn> Gazelle is that it folds up and I can
->  hn> get it out of the way when not in use.
-> 
-> The treadmill folds but not as compactly. It can never be fully out of
-> the way in a room as it takes up too much space.
->
Which is why we don't have one, we have 
very limited space as it is in this small
house! The gazelle fits nicely in a space by
the front door and we can exercise and watch
tv at the same time! (we only have one tv) 
 
-> ->  hn> used to enjoy chicken pot pies...when we
-> ->  hn> could get em for 10 for a dollar on sale!
-> ->  hn> Yes, it was a LOONG time ago (grin)
-> 
-> -> I think we got some pot pies at prices like that but got some at 4/$1 as
-> -> well.  There was one week we had to live on bargain brand pot pies and
-> -> hot dogs as we'd had to use the bulk of the pay check or bills.  Didn't
-> -> have a freezer then so couldn't raid it. We decided never to do that
-> -> again, if at all possible and never did.
->
We had one Christmas where we had
forgotten to pay one bill, and when it
came due we had to come up with the
cash...and it left us with $0.50 each 
to spend for Christmas...Of course 
fifty cents went a lot further in those
days, but it was still a tiny Christmas,
but it was one of the best, filled with
other than material joys.
 
->  hn> We all have those "learning" experiences when we are
->  hn> first married. They make the best memories
->  hn> in later years though!
-> 
-> Yes, as in teaching folks that raised soy beans that they were good
-> people food as well as animal food. (G)  I also developed a sourdough
-> pizza crust--never wrote it down tho back in the day.  We had a starter
-> for about 6 years, lasting even into Steve's initial time in the Army.
-> We gave it away when we packed out for Germany in October, 86.
->
When we were younger we had a great Sourdough
recipe and did lots of bread baking...but life just
got busier and busier and it fell by the wayside.
Now we eat so little bread that it would not 
make sense to have one!

Chat with you soon!
