==================
Hi Hap,

->  hn> I like to use film as well, and I plan on
->  hn> doing more film work this year...all I need
->  hn> to do is find the time to do it (grin)

-> I know you use it for some of your professional work.  Finding the time
-> to do it is the hard part; I don't think I was in the sewing room even
-> an hour last week.

 hn> Most of my film work now is personal,
 hn> most of my professional clients want
 hn> instant gratification of digital.

Interesting, how the shift has been made.  One of the first things
Robert picked up on when he was about 2 was that he could see the
picture that Aunty or Mommy just took on the back of the camera.  He'd
scoot over to whoever took the picture and ask to "see back".

->  hn> Popular just might win!

-> Yes, it's a colorful one, tastes good and doesn't numb your mouth.  It
-> would probably win "People's Choice" in most competitions.

 hn> I like a good hot chili, but there's no
 hn> sense in preparing a dish that folks
 hn> won't enjoy,

Nope, that's why we developed the recipe we did.

 every so often I'll make
 hn> a batch "just for me" and freeze what
 hn> I don't eat, but for the most part I make
 hn> a fairly mild chili that Anne can enjoy, and
 hn> she does enjoy it!

I'll make chili for us a bit hotter than what I take out.  Then Steve
will add to that to make it as hot as he wants.

->  hn> taken a pain pill and it's knocking me out.

-> So she's seen you knocked out quite a bit over the past week.  Helps
-> your body recover.

 hn> She's seen her share of it, yesterday I slept
 hn> sitting on the couch for 2 hours  before she
 hn> woke me up to let me know it was bedtime.

Wake up; it's time for your sleeping pill. (G)

-> -> injury.  It never came back fully, enough to walk on it tho which was
-> -> something the doctor wasn't sure I would do.

->  hn> And you're still using it with some degree
->  hn> of success!

-> Yes, even tho I can't bend it beyond 90 degrees or kneel on it, I can
-> still walk on it.

 hn> I'd call that success!

So would I.  Same thing with the wrists; one doctor wanted to fuse then
in 1993.  Another said "Let's see what we can do...." and even tho use
is limited, I do have some flex to them.

->  hn> We are about 20 minutes away, all by city streets.

-> Easy.  We're about 17 minutes, no matter which way we go.  Had a check
-> up on Friday, and a pneumonia shot for me.  Our new doctor is really
-> good--she checked out all the specialty work I'd gone for in July &
-> August, took extra time with Steve to figure out what med for him to use
-> for his cholesterol, etc, etc.  We're both very happy with her.

 hn> It's good to have a doc you can
 hn> feel secure with!

Yes, she's the complete opposite of the first one we saw when we first
got here.  He'd closer but Steve and I both were totally not happy with
his "bedside manner".


-> OK, do you make your own teriyaki sauce or do you buy it?  I've seen
-> quite a few different recipes for it over the years, tried some but left
-> others alone for what went into them.

 hn> I used to make my own but since
 hn> it's a sweet sauce I usually buy a
 hn> smaller bottle when I get the urge
 hn> these days.  My recipe was a pretty
 hn> basic one I picked up in Hawaii.

 hn> 1/cup shoyu, 1/2 cup sugar (Cane!!)
 hn> 1/4 tsp MSG (or dash salt instead)
 hn> 3 TBS aji mirin, 1 clove garlic (crushed)
 hn> 1-2" piece of ginger crushed or
 hn> grated. For some variations you can
 hn> add a bit of sesame oil (roasted)
 hn> or a coupld of tablespoons of miso
 hn> for a "richer" sauce. I usully used
 hn> less sugar than the recipe called for
 hn> and sometime more ginger as well.

OK, pretty much along the lines of a lot I've seen. I'd sub for or leave
out the mirin, maybe rice vinegar and cut down on the sugar  but very
do-able.
