======================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  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)
-> 
Most folks are these days, and get irritated
at having to wait for "proccessing"!

-> ->  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.
-> 
I collect them and make quite a few of
them just to try them out. 
-> 
-> ->  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.
->
True, but I like my heat "cooked in" rather
than added on later. Still most of the time
I do just what Steve does and add heat to
my bowl, so Anne can enjoy a bowl too.
 
-> ->  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.
->
I'm still hoping for 100% and the doc 
didn't say anything that made me think
it was an unreasonable expectation.
Even had photos of the surgery.
 
-> ->  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.
->
No sense to tolerate a dr who you don't 
feel is "on your side" and listens and communicates
with you .
 
-> ->  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.
-> 
Crimeny, it's still summer by you!!
You can grill all the way up to 
Thanksgiving cant you?
chat with you soon!
