===================
Hi Michael,

 RH> for a nice pork roast sometime this fall or winter.
 ML> Baby steps, Ruth. Baby steps.
 RH> I know. The fact that he's eating it at all is a help in meal
 RH> planning. I'll probably look down at Whole Foods Market or Fresh Market
 RH> so I can get the roast from the fresh meat department rather than
 RH> getting a pre packaged one.

 ML> I agree - fresh cut smells better than plastic wrapped.

And you can see all sides of it before buying.  We got some chicken
breast halves there on our last visit--5 of them, each big enough to
provide enough meat for both of us per meal.


 ML> Chicken scrapple
 RH> Looks like the spicing needs to be kicked up a bit on this one.

 ML> I agree: but did you see the subsequent chicken scrapple recipe I
 ML> posted? Talk about bland.

Very much so!  But, some people like that kind of eating.  My parents,
for 2. (G)


 RH> I just mailed out my application for a new passport and a passport
 RH> card today.  Had to start from square one as my most recent passport
 RH> was too old for easy renewal.

 ML> Learn a lesson. The money you save by letting the thing expire and
 ML> not reapplying until you need to use one may well not be worth the
 ML> aggravation.

Yes, but the last one (2, actually) were no fee government issued for
our time in Germany.  The one I had before that I got in 1975.  For some
years, we thought we would be going back but the Army never sent us.
From time to time we thought about remewing my passport (Steve kept a
civilian one up to date.) but just never did because the need wasn't
there.  We will probably keep them up to date from now on.


 ML>   We decided to go for passport cards as
 RH> well, knowing that we might want to, while visiting Steve's family in
 RH> ny, pop over to Niagara Falls.  Also, if we do end up in the southwest,
 RH> we'll be able to cross the border easily with the cards, rather than
 RH> schlepping the book all the time.

 ML> I'm considering going for a card, because the real thing is
 ML> my only current form of ID, and if it gets lost, I'm cooked.
 ML> I can go to the post office and show them the book, and they
 ML> are supposed to give it back to me while the card gets processed.

Good idea.  What about a state ID card like I got from the NC DMV when
we moved here?  It's a picture one so it can be used any place where a
driver's license is required.  You do need an in state address tho.

 ML> years, I still have a valid picture ID.

I've had a military picture ID for 26+ years.  It still feels odd not
showing that for so many things.  I also have a picture student ID for
SEBTS since I'm a  student there.

... Nothing is ever lost. It's just where it doesn't belong.
