Guten Tag Ruth!

-> 
-> -> Back in the days before helicopters and fixed wing air craft, they had
-> -> to do something to get cable lines across the Falls.
-> 
->  hn> I'd not want to be the one to try and
->  hn> row a boat towing a cable across, but
->  hn> I suppose that was one of the methods
->  hn> back then.
-> 
-> Small craft in the waters in that area are not a smart idea.
-> 
Back in the 50's when we lived in New York, 
we went to Niagra falls and rode boats both
above and below the falls. I suppose you'd have 
to start well upstream on one side to end 
up "even" on the other.

-> ->  hn> So true! We used a forked stick for that.
-> ->  hn> Old scouting method. two forked sticks
-> ->  hn> on either side of the fire with one straight one
-> ->  hn> going between the Y forks...and one stick
-> ->  hn> with forks going towards each other and
-> ->  hn> hung on the cross stick with the cook pot
-> ->  hn> hooked to the bottom V fork.
-> ->  hn> I hope I explained that right.
-> 
-> -> I understand the first one, sort of do the 2nd.  I think with the 2nd
-> -> method, a stick would have to be lashed to the main one to get a 2nd V
-> -> fork.  At least that's what I think I recall reading years ago.
-> 
->  hn> Not usually, you can cut a notch in the top so that it fits on

->  hn> a branch with forks going both directions.
->  hn> If you need to lash two together you cut
->  hn> notches in both so they fit "into" each
->  hn> other increasing the weight bearing ability.
-> 
-> As long as the pot is held above the fire, that's all that counts in the
-> long run.  Just hope the boys don't stir too vigorously. (G)
->
As I remember it we usually used the natural fork on 
top hooking to the crossbar, and cut a notch into
the lower end to place the pot handle.
-> 
->  hn> Somewhere in amongst my
->  hn> cookbooks there are a couple
->  hn> of Indian cookbooks, one is mostly
->  hn> about curries and spice mixes.
->  hn> Did your tandoori chicken come out
->  hn> red?
-> 
-> No, this mix didn't have any food coloring in it.  That's one of the
-> reasons I bought it.  By process of elimination, we figured out that I
-> got it at Fresh Market--no store label mainly as Brighter Day usually
-> puts one on every thing they sell.
-> 
I think the red comes from annato seeds, which
are more than just color...I'm gonna have to look 
for that cookbook...I think the title is 660 Curries, 
or something like that.

-> -> -> finishes seminary.  Don't want to buy a house where we won't be 
living.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Do you get to pick, or do the churches line up
-> ->  hn> and pick you? Or do you get "assigned" a
-> ->  hn> position?
-> 
-> -> Steve sends his resume (and a video of him preaching, usually) to

whether

-> -> visit, usually over a week end.  Saturday is spent meeting key personnel
-> -> during the day and the church body as a whole at a "meet, greet & eat"
-> -> (usually supper, followed by Q&A) that night.  He would then preach
-> -> Sunday morning service and the congregation would vote at a called
