Hi Hap,

-> That's why a lot of people don't like lamb; they've had some cold lamb
-> fat.  I'd had some (lamb and fat) as a kid & wasn't too impressed.  I
-> don't think Steve ever had it.  A friend in HI got us to try some and
-> we've eaten quite a bit since, mostly grilled with fat trimmed off.

 hn> I like lamb ...but not cold...don't like
 hn> much fat when it's cold.

Same here.  Makes it easier to find and get rid of before reheating tho.

->  hn> Yeppers! The happy side of that is that we learn
->  hn> not to do THAT again! At least that's the best case
->  hn> scenario!

-> That's the usual for most people.  Then there are those that don't learn
-> from their mistakes and deal with the consequences over and over.

 hn> Well sometimes that comes from trying to
 hn> get a recipe "right" and making it over and
 hn> over with lots of failures until you do get it
 hn> "right".

Makes you pity their official taste testers tho. (G)


-> -> good grip on the 4 cup measure.  It dropped and shattered--only one
-> -> I know I've had it over 20 years but it was gone in a few seconds.

->  hn> I know that feeling! We still have some things that
->  hn> we've had since we were married, and every so often
->  hn> one of those items bites the dust...it's a bittersweet

-> I know; you just have to move on and make new memories. The
 hn> casserole set
-> is a "new memory" thing; Steve got it last fall while I was in Las
-> Vegas.  I'd been looking for Pyrex as I wanted to move away from the
-> Tupperware casseroles I had.  Still good but rather beat up.

 hn> I hated tupperware...once it got "greasy" it
 hn> was tough to get clean again...and I hate
 hn> greasy tupperware even worse than not
 hn> greasy.

This was the oven/freezer/microwave stuff that came out in the 80s.  I
got it at a reduced price as my MIL was a dealer.  Great stuff when i
had small kids (breakage issue) and not enough money to buy the good
stuff, even at the PX.

->  hn> hap (who'll be hitting the road today for
->  hn> hot california...but it's hot here too!)
 hn> ->
-> Hot and humid here--good thunderstorm weather.
 hn> ->
 hn> It was over 100 in Washington..and it got up to
 hn> 106 at our house!! When I went through Portland
 hn> Oregon it was 105 there! But the Bay area where
 hn> I ended up was nice, it was cooler than normal and

Nice! Today was cloudy with off & on showers--didn't get really hot.
We're heading to Savannah for a few days this week so sort of hoping
it'll stay this way.

 hn> very comfy...Yesterday I was back in Sacramento
 hn> to pick up the ladies and it was back up into the upper
 hn> 90's there...but here on the coast at Bodega Bay it's
 hn> in the middle 60's! Ahhhhhhh relief!!
 hn> Amanda was absolutely thrilled to see her
 hn> Grandma again..it's been 10 years!!

Good going then, great that Grandma could make the trip.  Our girls
don't see that much of their grand parents now as they live out west.
Grandparents live on the east coast & don't travel much; girls are out
west and can travel but it's usually work related or have the
responsibilities of kids as well as financing their travel.  But, the
girls made it east in June--first time in the north east since Deborah
got back from her deployment in 2004.
