That's true, we were pretty sure who ever bought the source code/company would
need Ron's talents though.  He essentially is what is keeping the software 'up
to date'.  Matter of fact, there were some deals that included a condition that
he'd still be working for the company.

It's similar, from what I understand.

==Kentucky burgoo==
1 whole chicken, 3 1/2 - 4 lbs
1 lb stewing beef or steak
1 lb roast pork
8 potatoes, chopped
2 green peppers
2 cups corn
1 lb. green beans, cleaned and chopped 4 tomatoes, chopped
1 can pureed tomatoes
2 carrots chopped
1 large onion chopped
1/2 cup molasses or brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon or more Chili powder
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
4 chicken boulion cubes
4 beef boulion cubes
1 cup beans

Boil the chicken covered with water in a large soup pot with tight fitting lid.
Add the chicken bouillion cubes.  Cook until the meat falls from the bones.
Strain the broth and remove the bones. Add the steak or stewing beef and beef
bouillion cubes  and simmer for an hour or until it starts to fall apart.  Add
the roast port, cooked or raw, and stew for another hour to hour and a half.
Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for an hour, season to taste.

I bet your daughter will love to see you :)

The standard for moving supplies, catching cat litter or other kitchen messes
(bg) - plus it is generally a good read, certainly on Tuesday's with the
science section :)

>> > Sounds interesting, did she give you the recipe?  One of the other

>> No, I don't think so.  I'll have to ask her for it.

> I'd be interested in it too.

I'll see if I can get that this week.. They should be coming over to pick up
Alex later in the week.  He's done with 9th grade as of Thursday, so he came by
to stay a few days.  He doesn't get to come by alone often, so he's really
happy (no little brother pests) (g).

> We cook Italian quite often when we have to cook for a group of people.

Same here, though sushi is another one I get asked to make by Eoin. That boy
can really clean up a roll of sushi :)  But he loves macaroni as well, so I
usually make something Italian when he comes.

> It's easy to do, popular and we use whole wheat pasta. (G)

I'm still using the mixed brands (it's whole wheat plus I guess normal wheat),
like barilla whole grain, etc, or I make my own dough.  It's really hard for me
to eat macaroni or spaghetti that is all whole wheat still.. and actually right
now with the ampyra drug I just started, I'm lucky if I can eat much at all..
it's doing a real rough job on my stomach, but I can walk a bit better..
(sigh).. sometimes you wonder about the meds they give you.. :)


Take care,
Janis
