Hi Hap,

->  HN> EVERYONE loves Chili!!

-> Turns out, the winner just had a hotter version of mine; I'd given him
-> the idea of corn in it from the batch I made last fall. From what I
-> understand, 3 guys were the judges--should have had a female too, to
-> convince them that hot isn't everything. (G)  But, whatever, it's the
-> fun of the competition that's the important thing.

 hn> Figures!

I'll smoke them next year tho. (G)

->  HN> Cipro is pretty hefty stuff. hope you
->  HN> don't get side effects.
->  HN> And hope it works as well!

-> So far, so good.  The nasty stuff is being knocked out and I've not had
-> any side effects (other than a bit of light headedness the first day or
-> so) from the meds.  I've tried to stay in; went out for class on

 hn> Good thoughts all!


Thanks; I was floored with an asthma attack earlier today but ptobably
brought it on by trying to do more than I should have, considering the
way I've been feeling.  i basically stopped everything for a few hours.
Supper was the most work I did afterward, and that was mostly just
nuking stuff to warm it up.

->  HN> "COOK ME!!" had some mild
->  HN> Italian sausage from a sale
->  HN> so that and the lentils won
->  HN> date with the stove!

-> Sounds good tho I suspect you would have preferred a hotter sausage. (G)
-> Sometimes tho, the mild brings out other flavors more, that the hot
-> covers up with its heat.  What other spicing did you use?

 hn> I spiced up my dish with some chili paste.
 hn> I added a bit of cumin, some spinach, onions
 hn> and diced celery to the lentils. a pinch of pepper
 hn> and no salt, then added a low sodium
 hn> can of chicken stock. Would have added
 hn> mushrooms if I had had any in the house.
 hn> a smattering of oregano and basil and
 hn> that was about it for spicing.


Sounds like it all came together quite well.

->  HN> Baloney for me!

-> I would have gladly traded sandwiches.

 hn> at the time I really liked baloney
 hn> so you'd have had a tough trade (grin)
 hn> We used to get these huge things
 hn> of baloney and Pop would cut
 hn> them into slices and freeze them
 hn> in packs that were about a week's
 hn> worth of meat for sandwiches and


How thin could he slice it?


 hn> fried baloney for breakfasts.
 hn> Still like fried baloney.

I've not had it in years, easily over ten.


->  HN> artificial hips put in have
->  HN> all done well.

-> Talked to my parents yesterday; dad's in therapy 4 times a day.  The
-> therapist said that he would be clombing stairs before discharge--but on
-> out is not usable as is but if a small set up could be made on the main
-> level of the house,............................  Get someone to organise
-> things from the basement so tools, etc could be found and brought up for
-> track adjustment, etc.  Time will tell; we're planning a trip up at the
-> end of March to help for a week.

 hn> One of my coworkers at the ballpark
 hn> had BOTH hips replaced early in the
 hn> season and he was back at work before
 hn> the end of the season...he was quite


Dad has a 90 year old room mate that had both done. I guess it's better
to get it done & over with but 88 or 90 makes for a tougher rehab time.


 hn> young though and did a very aggressive
 hn> rehab. You might look around for a
 hn> "stair lift" you can sometimes find them
 hn> on Craigslist at really good prices from


We're looking, haven't hit Craigslist yet.  Mom & Dad are fighting
having any changes done to the house--they want to stay there as long as
they can. We're suggesting ways to make that possible but hitting brick
walls so far.

-> Hope your dad
->  HN> does well too! Siblings giving
->  HN> feedback sometimes works sometimes not
->  HN> (grin).

-> A couple are better on feedback than the other couple.  We found that
-> out with a project last summer; same ones had same response or lack
-> there of. We're trying to prevent down the road "we didn't want this
-> done or even know about it" kind of reaction from siblings.  BTW, how is
-> your mom doing this winter?  Did she have snow from the latest system?
 hn> ->
 hn> Uhmmm, I'm very familiar with that sort
