Hi Ruth,

->  RH> It's more like 1500, but with an unfinished basement.  The attic
->  RH> doesn't do much good these days; the central air system is up

-> Still, more room than we have.  You can always have the basement
-> finished but it's hard to finish one you don't have.

 RH> True, but I'd lose my warehouse!

OTOH, it might be arrainged much more efficiently.  All the kitchen
stuff in one area on shelves, in drawers, etc; same with crafting and so
on.

->  RH> Can't hurt to leave things in better shape than you found them in.

-> Yes, it wasn't bad but it will be better.  One of the guys in our church
-> rented it (with some other guys) before he was married.  He told me a
-> couple of kitchen related horror stories his house mates pulled--all
-> fixed now--typical guy/kitchen stuff,

 RH> I don't even want to know.

Could have been a lot worse than what it was.

-> -> Steve can, even gets paid for travel to the hospital in Durham.

->  RH> Cool.  Getting your mileage paid; I wish someone would do that for
 RH> me!

-> Put some time in on active duty and they will. (G)

 RH> If I could run a flight of stairs and was young enough it might be
 RH> tempting.  As it is, some days walking them is more trouble than it's
 RH> worth.

I know.  I think you've hit the age limit too.

->  RH> I just threw a no-recipe meat loaf into the oven.  We'll see if it
->  RH> tastes like food in about an hour.

-> Did it?  I chopped up the rest of the ribs today, cooked them in the bbq

 RH> Yep.  I used Montreal Steak Seasoning, of all things.

One that's not on our shelves.

->  RH> I can get mangoes here, but only those Tommy Atkins things.  The
->  RH> papayas usually aren't worth looking at.

-> Agreed.

 RH> The asian groceries will sometimes have something decent, but I rarely
 RH> get into those these days.

Same here.  I think Raleigh is the closest for any.

-> That can shrink as much as it wants/can as far as I'm concerned.

 RH> I'd do it to wool yarn too, if feasable.

It can be done--or make your sweater, scarf, etc on huge needles and
felt afterward.

->  RH> Those are everywhere.  They're more common than stray cats here

-> I'd have to agree about that in Wake Forest.

 RH> OTOH, cats are cheaper to feed.

Steve had one follow him to the door yesterday.  Smokey grey with white
bib, boots on the back paws and slippers on the front ones.

->  RH> What did they make them with?  Farmer cheese?

-> I'd have to ask, and my contacts are very limited now.  If I could find
-> the one friend that made some of them---guess I'll have to try Google or
-> someplace else.

 RH> I went looking; I think it's Quark.  Some Hungarian ones are made of
 RH> cottage cheese, but I've never liked that variant.

Probably was quark; that stuff is everywhere.  I've never had a
Hungarian cheese cake but seen other recipies that call for cottage
cheese.

->  RH> I've done that often enough.  If the salt is over a certain level,
->  RH> goes back on the shelf without a second thought.

-> That's but one of the things I look at.

 RH> Then there's HFCS and the fat content.

And ingredients such as white flour, sugar or rice.
