Hi Dale,


 RH> Steve saw this and at first thought it would be a good one to take to
 RH> the desert. HIs 2nd thought was that he would get too frustrated by
 RH> its lack of bells & whistles but it would be a good one for me for
 RH> travel. I could keep up with Fido and do internet on it, if needs be.
 RH> One option we have for internet at Rachel and David's is their set up
 RH> but this gives me an alternative.

 DS>   I have ordered one, from Buy.com -- and it on a FedEx Ground truck
 DS> as   we speak.    I plan on using it as my travel computer for light
 DS> web
 DS>   surfing, connection to DOCs to keep in touch, etc.    I will be
 DS>   bringing it with me to the picnic at Janis', so you can see it
 DS> there.

We will take a look; if this is to be my travel system, I want it VERY
user friendly. (G)

 RH> We're debating it right now; we've several months before we have to
 RH> make a decision.  I can envision a live video of Robert helping his mom
 RH> make cookies. (G) When we were out there for Christmas, he really got
 RH> into the cookie making; Rachel says that he loves to help her cook.

 DS>   It was the built in webcam that made me think of you folks.  Mine
 DS> will   have that, but I doubt I'll use it much since our daughter and
 DS>   grandkids are only 2 doors down, and our son is only about an hour
 DS>   away.

We have one and the kids have one but they don't get theirs running very
often.  I guess they have had some trouble with it and, Robert doesn't
like to sit still long enough for us to talk very long to him.


 RH> Simple, cute idea.  I usually make my meatballs; this would be a nice
 RH> way to make an easy appetiser if I made them a bit smaller and just
 RH> kept them uncooked but frozen until needed. I might tinker with the
 RH> spicing I generally use however.

 DS>   Gail was looking at meatball appetizers a while back.   In addition
 DS> to   the old standard of grape jelly (which tastes better than it

I've seen quite a few of them over the years. Our standard meatball is
the one I make to go in marinara type sauces so it has the Italian
spicing.


 DS> sounds),   there were a number of recipes that used cranberry sauce.
 DS> Some of
 DS>   them used fresh meatballs and some used pre-cooked meatballs.   I
 DS>   suppose you could do either -- make small meatballs and freeze or
 DS> pre   cook them a bit and freeze.

Whichever works best for me at the time. I may cook them all the way;
I'm not sure about the part cooking, then freezing.

It may be thrifty but wow, the list of ingredients.............
