Hi Hap,


(chili)

 HN> ->
 HN> As Gabby Hayes was wont to say, "Durn Tootin"!


Especially if I make a hotter than the nether regions one.(G)  A serious
meat, onions, pepper and tomato one (plus spices) should do it.

->  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

 HN> Glad that you were able to take it easy

 HN> and good that you had food in the freezer
 HN> that just needed nuking!

The freezer has been very useful this winter. I try to keep a stock of
heat & eat type meals in it; some may need rice or some sort of pasta
and/or a vegetable to go along with but that's easily done as well.

->  hn> I spiced up my dish with some chili paste.
->  hn> I added a bit of cumin, some spinach, onions

-> Sounds like it all came together quite well.

 HN> Pretty standard spicing, except I was

I'm not out of garlic but getting quite low. Next major trip to Raleigh
(Whole Foods), Lowes or Harris Teeter, I'll probably pick some up.

 HN> Pretty thin, not thin enough to

I think my dad could slice meat that thin too.

->  hn> Still like fried baloney.

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

 HN> Probably the same for me, haven't had

I'm not stopping you. (G)  Give us a report.

That's young!  Was he into some sort of heavy duty athletics that could
cause trouble?

->  hn> young though and did a very aggressive

-> We're looking, haven't hit Craigslist yet.  Mom & Dad are fighting

So is she now aware of what can be done to make life easier for her as
she ages?


-> -> done or even know about it" kind of reaction from siblings.  BTW, how
 HN> is

->  hn> Uhmmm, I'm very familiar with that sort

Rather frustrating since we want everybody's input on the bigger issues.
