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

->  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> Yep that's the instant gratification syndrome.
 hn> Most customers have it wors than Robert does (grin)

Sarah will be like that in a few months probably. (G)

->  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.

 hn> Same here. Though I have whole books of
 hn> great chili recipes!

I don't have that, just a few scattered in cook books here & there.
Sometimes I'll do one with something like cubed chuck roast, onions,
peppers, and a smooth tomato sauce, just for a change of pace.


->  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> That's what I usually do.

Since we've got all the various hot stuff, it's the way to go.  I don't
get it too hot for me to enjoy and Steve has his as hot as he wants.

->  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)

 hn> That's about the size of it!

Old joke but too true at times.

->  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> I'm hoping to have 100% recovery
 hn> but I'll be satisfied with whatever I
 hn> end up with...not much else to do
 hn> anyway.

Sometimes it's just too much given the extent of the injury, to get back
everything.  I got about 95% back on the elbow, much more than expected,
considering the extent of the damage.

->  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's closer but Steve and I both were totally not happy
with -> his "bedside manner".

-> hn> Yep.

Makes a lot of difference.  He was the first one in a long time that I
had a problem with--years, actually.  When Steve felt the same way I
did, I was glad that it wasn't just me feeling the way I did.

->  hn> smaller bottle when I get the urge
->  hn> these days.  My recipe was a pretty
->  hn> basic one I picked up in Hawaii.

-> 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.

 hn> If you leave out the mirin, rice wine vinegar will work,
 hn> but if you do that don't cut the sugar quite as much.

So noted.  We've got all on hand but the fish but can get that easily
enough.  May give it a try before it gets too cold to grill.
