Hi Hap,

->  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> Most folks are these days, and get irritated
 hn> at having to wait for "proccessing"!

Deborah worked at a 1 hour photo shop for a while in the late 90s and
would tell us of customers irritated that their pictures took longer
than that at times.  But, the procceesing machines could only go so fast
and if you happened to turn in your one roll as they were working on a
multi roll order.......................

->  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.

 hn> I collect them and make quite a few of
 hn> them just to try them out.

I asked Steve the other day if he'd be interested in trying a pork chili
verde; he didn't sound super excited about it. I'd like to try one tho;
I've got several recipies.

-> 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> True, but I like my heat "cooked in" rather
 hn> than added on later. Still most of the time
 hn> I do just what Steve does and add heat to
 hn> my bowl, so Anne can enjoy a bowl too.

That's where some people would say to make two batches, one hot as you
like and the other, mild for Anne but those people have lots of time on
their hands. (G)

->  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
 hn> expected,
-> considering the extent of the damage.

 hn> I'm still hoping for 100% and the doc
 hn> didn't say anything that made me think
 hn> it was an unreasonable expectation.
 hn> Even had photos of the surgery.

It may get there yet.

-> 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> No sense to tolerate a dr who you don't
 hn> feel is "on your side" and listens and communicates
 hn> with you .

On just one visit he thought he knew more about us than we did and felt
he could handle all our issues.  Sorry, but no, and no, so we switched
and I'm seeing the specialists I need.  His office girl told us that she
would call me the next day with a referral--she never called.   A few
weeks later, I called them to let them know we would not be coming in
for the lab work he'd requested--and why.

->  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.

 hn> Crimeny, it's still summer by you!!
 hn> You can grill all the way up to
 hn> Thanksgiving cant you?

We're definately into fall here.  Saw lots of maples turning color on
our way to & from church--quite pretty.  A lot more deciduous trees than
the Savannah area.  I'm not sure how late into the season we can grill;
Steve did do some buffalo steaks Friday night before the latest front
went thru.
