Ärende: RE: tenting tonight
===========================
Hola Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  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.
-> 
There you are, bringing culture to the masses!

-> ->  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".
->
Yup!
 
-> ->  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.
->
We'd like the hard sided pop up, but 
it's somewhere out in the future I expect.
Finances aren't such that we're gonna
make any big expenditures that we don't 
NEED to make.
 
-> ->  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!
-> 
Egg-spensive is not my way to go!
chat with you soon
