===============================
HIya Michael!

->  HN> As you know, the Ram is Anne's most favorite waterfront
->  HN> place to eat (grin) and the burgers there are certainly not 
->  HN> bad even if they are overpriced a bit. You pay to sit near 
->  HN> the seagulls and seals (grin). If you had been able to stay 
->  HN> a  bit longer we'd (you and I at least) would have made a few
->  HN> other choices! 
-> 
-> I always enjoy the choices you set out for us when we go
-> out restaurant hunting.
-> 
So do I...we do have some interesting choices for 
your next visit...whenever that is!

->  -> plums, while Hap held out for plums and blackberries. We
->  -> agreed on an artificial cherry finish (Hap said Luden's
->  -> cough drops), which Anne likened to plastic - you can see
->  -> this, as plastic solvent (and various kinds of glue) do
->  -> remind one of artificial cherry. The finish was long and
->  -> smooth, with just a bit of tannin surfacing now and then.
->  HN> I had another glass of it last night, from the fridge so it was 
->  HN> very chilled. Brought out the grapeiness and the plastic was 
->  HN> more pronounced as well...but still a nice wine! 
-> 
-> It was a very complex wine. I wasn't completely bowled over
-> by it, as some of the tastes don't strike me as belonging in
-> wine, but I did enjoy it pretty well on the whole.
-> 
As did I, I'm working on the Norton Agentinian Malbec now
and I like it well enough that I might look for it again!

->  HN> The snow held off, but the temps plummeted to the low 
->  HN> 20's for the next few days and it made for dicey driving 
->  HN> all week long! We enjoyed seeing your however briefly and 
->  HN> next time hope you can stay a bit longer! In any case 
->  HN> thanks for thinking of us!
-> 
-> I take full advantage of the airline especially during
-> interesting weather conditions - usually I can get United
-> to make a mutually agreeable accommodation (it doesn't cost
-> them anything, as I'll go on any flight that is wide open in
-> first class). But next time, I'll give you more notice and
-> spend more time.
-> 
Yay for more time! I'd like to go travelling a bit more
but $$ and time...and most importanly time away from
Anne keeps me closer to home. Anne is giving me the
go-ahead for a trip to Tucson...but I probably won't go
as I've been trying to talk some others into going as well
and it's not tempting enough for them. It would be fun to
have a group of fellow photogs on an outing!

-> 
->  HN> Having grown up eating wild cold stream caught trout
->  HN> I have never really enjoyed it from a restaurant. Garlic 
->  HN> spnach sounds good though. So does the filet..at $17 a 
->  HN> good bargain if its' really a filet! How'd the tooofey do?
-> 
-> Not only was it a filet (not my favorite cut, under normal
-> circumstances), but it was a fork-tender one, so it wasn't
-> exactly a tough test on the teeth.
-> 
Sounds yummy enough though!

->  HN> Again for me having canned tuna is a poor excuse for a
->  HN> tuna..the only way I seem to like it is in tuna salad.
-> 
-> The main thing about canned tuna is that it's overcooked tuna.
-> But there are those of us who would claim that cooking it at
-> all would be overcooking it.
-> 
I don't mind overcooking tuna...and I don't mind it raw...
tuna is a goooood fish! Don't care for it canned though!
chat with you soon
