Ärende: tenting tonight
=======================
Hi Hap,

->  hn> When I lived in Hawaii I disscovered
->  hn> chili over rice...still love that to this
->  hn> day!

-> I learned about chili over rice the summer of 73.  I was working at a
-> Salvation Army camp & that was how the cooks fixed it.  Good way to
-> stretch a pot of chili.  I took my rice cooker to church the other
-> night, made about half a pot's worth (IOW, about 10 cups) of brown rice.
-> Brought about 4 cups home.  The cooker did get the attention of both
-> kids and adults tho.

 hn> Had they never seen a rice cooker before?

I don't believe any of them had.  But, none of them (that we know of)
had been to HI and very little, if any exposure to Asian cooking other
than in restaurants would explain it.  Suffice it to say, they've not
seen the last of the rice cooker.  Talking with the pastor's wife today,
probably going to do beef stew and biscuits in December.  She commented
that rice would go well with it so the rice cooker will go to church
again.

->  hn> For the ladies at least!

-> At least we're willing to camp.  A former pastor said that his wife's
-> idea of roughing it was a motel without AC--told us that just before the
-> family left on a camping (in tents) trip.

 hn> I used to date a girl who's idea of
 hn> "roughing it" was staying in a hotel
 hn> that did not have room service after
 hn> midnight!

Like my one nephew--his mom said that his definition of poverty would be
beef au jus without the au jus to go with the beef.  I was thinking (but
didn't say) "but you raised him with those expectations".

->  hn> Have actually looked at a pop up
->  hn> trailer ( google Aliner to see one)
->  hn> but have not made any move towards
->  hn> really getting one.

-> Ever see the Tear Drops?  While in HI, we saw a Travel Channel (?) show
-> on them; it really piqued Steve's curiosity.  We've seen some in person
-> since--check them out.

 hn> Have already done that. Not for me, I want
 hn> at least a table I can sit at with my laptop
 hn> in the evenings! Did look at the T@B trailer
 hn> for a bit but liked the a frame popups better.
 hn> more room and easier towing.

OK, like the grill, you're a few steps ahead of me in your reserch.

->  hn> I've looked at the green egg...they ARE
->  hn> pricey, but I may consider one if I can
->  hn> find one at the right price...which has
->  hn> not been the case so far!

-> I forget if it's Home Depot or Lowe's but one of them has their own
-> version for somewhat less than the Egg.  The LGE is cute, I'll admit.
-> When we visited friends in Alabama this spring, we went to the Stihl
-> dealership where Bob works.  They also are an Egg dealer so we got to
-> see all sizes and a lot of "go withs" that you can get for them.

 hn> All of which can make that green egg eat
 hn> your "nest egg" in a hurry!

Egg--zackly!
