Happy March the Oneth Ruth!

Ok, Maid of the mist...it was more than 50 years
ago! (grin)

It was more like a cabin cruiser charter
boat than an "excursion boat".
->

-> 
-> It's hard not to hear them from a distance.  Anyway, I don't know when

-> time I've had anything close is in Switzerland at Trummelbach Falls.
-> Next time you get to Niagara, ask abotu the CotW tour--you would get

->
I don't expect to see Niagra again unless
something Unforseen happens in my life.

-> 
-> I saw a picture of it yesterday; I think it was in one of the magazines
-> I was tearing up.  It had the Vs facing each other, one hooked over a

-> 
-> -> Still, the kids have to be careful cooking.
-> 
->  hn> That was the cardinal rule anyway.
-> 
-> Yes but problems can happen.  One of my fellow Girl Scouts got quite a
-> severe scald burn on her foot when a pot of hot water dumped over. (I
-> don't remember how; I wasn't near the cooking area when it happened.)
-> She ended up having to leave the camp and go to the hospital.
-> 
We had a guy toss a can of Pork &Beans in the 
fire (unbeknownst to everyone else) and when 
it exploded it blew bits of burning debris everywhere
but no one was seriously injured, although one tent 
did have a pretty good sized hole burnt in it!
-> 
-> ->  hn> I think the red comes from annato seeds, which
-> 
-> -> Used to be, that or tumeric, but now a lot of cook books suggest using
-> -> food coloring.
-> 
-> ->  hn> are more than just color...I'm gonna have to look
-> ->  hn> for that cookbook...I think the title is 660 Curries,
-> ->  hn> or something like that.
-> 
-> -> You're another one with shelves and shelves upon shelves of cook 
books?
-> -> (G)  I only have a few short shelves--about 5 24" ones.
-> 
->  hn> You can fit a lot of books on
->  hn> 5 24 inch shelves...but I have
->  hn> somewhere between 400 and 500
->  hn> cookbooks, so yes, I am another
->  hn> one! (grin)
-> 
-> I've got a lot of slim paper backs I should go thru; most probably
-> aren't worth keeping.  Other than those, I know I don't have even 100.
-> Even with those, I MIGHT have around 100.
-> 
I'm at the point where I refuse to count em 
anymore! (grin)
chat with you soon!
