==================
Hi Hap,

-> One way to go about it & get what you want.  I have to remember to ask
-> for the dressing on the side; it's not that ingrained in my brain yet.
-> Actually, fast food places always have the dressing on the side. (G)

 hn> A couple of our regular haunts do that
 hn> as well with most of their salads now.

I think most of ours do as well, come to think about it.

->  hn> Craig's list, or the annual Church White elephant sale?
 hn> ->
-> Or Play It Again Sports but I've got to find the instruction book.
 hn> ->
 hn> We have filing cabinets in the computer room...
 hn> Anne is a great one for filing! Must come from
 hn> the "Teacher Gene"! (Grin)

I've got a file box but things like that used to be in an over stuffed
pocket folder.  Could be it fell out; I just need to look around some
more.

-> At times, when I've been laid up and not felt like reading or whatever,
-> it was nice to put on some brainless shows.  But, for the most part, we
-> don't watch that much tv to begin with.

 hn> We will often watch in the evening but if
 hn> nothing interesting is on, or we don't feel
 hn> like watching one of our DVD's, we will most
 hn> often have music on. We do like some things

We usually watched mostly in the evening when we had the expanded cable.
We do have a number of DVDs that need watching.(G)


 hn> on Discovery channel though...Mythbusters
 hn> and now the new Time Warp are fun!

The Mythbusters are pure nuts; we've enjoyed them. Did you see the Coke
and Mentos episode a couple of years ago?

-> was wearing the jacket so they could see how I made it.  We're trying
-> not to do food gifts for our parents now as both moms are diabetic.

 hn> You could think of one of their favorite
 hn> treats and see if you could come up with a
 hn> good diabetic version of it for them. My Dad

Both moms still make more goodies than they should. They don't want to
give them up but do (usually) take reduced portions.

 hn> is also diabetic, and one of his favorite treats
 hn> has always been peanut brittle...I've not managed
 hn> to come up with a diabetic version that works ....
 hn> so far!

That would be a tough one.

->  hn> We probably go through less than 4 loaves a year
->  hn> these days.

-> I think we average a loaf every couple of weeks--give or take a day or
-> so on either side.  Crusts generally go into a bag kept in the freezer.
-> When that's full (as it is now), I'll thaw them, dice them and oven dry
-> them out.  The next stage is running them thru the blender for my own
-> bread crumbs; haven't bought any crumbs in years.

 hn> It'd probably take me four years to get enough
 hn> crusts! (grin) Then again...I don't usually cut
 hn> them off the bread to start with!

These are what some folks call heels; we don't trim the crust from each
slice.  I save up the heels from about 6-8 loaves before I "crumb" them.
