========================================================================
Howdy Ruth!
-> 
-> -> I pressure can the full jars, did this run at 5 lbs pressure for 10
-> -> minutes.  In AZ it was 10/10 because we were about a mile in elevation.
-> -> This time I held back some tomatoes, onions, garlic & pepper for a
-> -> "second dump" and cooked everything about 45 minutes more after 
that. I

->  hn> and garlic would be fairly cooked
->  hn> anyway I'd think! It make make a

->  hn> hope you'll let us know if it does!
-> 
-> I will, but I won't get around to making the salsa until Tuesday.  This
-> week end is busy with class (half today, half tomorrow), church &
-> related on Sunday, usual Monday stuff plus baking bread & meeting with
-> Wake Forest Santa.  Tuesday I'll get it done, amidst studying for a
-> final & working on a short paper.  Final is on line, to be taken by
-> midnight, Friday & paper is due on the 24th.
-> 
Ah the busy life! 
-> 
-> ->  hn> I'm positive your's would be much
-> ->  hn> better! I do wonder if it would make
-> ->  hn> a difference if the peppers had the
-> 
-> -> The stuff I got at WFM is really good but I'll see if Steve wants to try
-> -> making some.  Have to see which peppers he smoked in addition to the
-> -> jalapenos.
-> 
->  hn> Please do!
-> 
-> That'll be worked out over the next few days.  Dave Drum sent me a
-> couple of recipies for chili powder; I'll look them over & then make one
-> based on one of those, but maybe tweak it here & there.
->
Dave's got some good recipes for them!
 
-> ->  hn> with...but I usually manage to finish the meal!!
-> 
-> -> I usually finish too, unless it's just so hot that I can't.
-> 
->  hn> That seldom happens, but when it
->  hn> does it's worth the risk!
-> 
-> Not to me.  I can't enjoy something if it's so hot I taste nothing but
-> heat. It's a waste of money at that point.
->
True, but I've not had that happen
often enough to consider it as a likelihood
 
-> -> -> I've a friend like that.  Bell peppers are as spicy as she goes. (G)
-> 
-> ->  hn> that's my Annie! (grin)
-> 
-> -> My parents are like that too. No sense of adventure to their eating.
-> 
->  hn> Anne has the sense of adventure
->  hn> just can't take the "heat"!
-> 
-> This friend and my parents both lack the sense of adventure. Her husband
-> likes some heat so we took them to a Korean hole in the wall place in
-> HI. She ordered kim chee (I didn't realise or would have warned her.);
-> they both ordered teriyaki steaks as they were on special.  First and
-> last trip they made to any Korean place while over there.  They like
-> American version of steak & potatoes, not Korean.
->
Yum! Kimchee, and teriyaki!
 
-> ->  hn> next summer..unless Amanda
-> ->  hn> finishes up her PhD before then!
-> 
-> -> Does it look likely? She's been there a good while but you can't rush
-> -> field research.
-> 
->  hn> Depends on how much data she gets this
->  hn> year and whether it is significant enough
->  hn> for her to finish off her dissertation. I'm
->  hn> hoping yes, but have no way of guessing
->  hn> one way or the other. She's secured
->  hn> funding (two fellowships and a grant)
->  hn> for another year if she needs it.
-> 
-> Good to have the funding and not need than to have need, but no funding.
->
AMEN!
 
->  hn> And I "think" she's already started
->  hn> to put out feelers for post doctoral
->  hn> positions. I know of two, one in
->  hn> Panama under the Smithsonian Inst.
->  hn> and one in New Zealand...but don't
->  hn> know if she's interested in either of
->  hn> those..Panama is HOT!!
-> 
-> You're hoping she gets a position in Washington State, right, Dad?
->
I dunno, it's nice to have her close, but
it would also be nice to visit her in some
"exotic" location! (grin)
 
-> ->  hn> today is the first day of school with
-> ->  hn> kids, so we'll see how she makes it
-> ->  hn> through the first week!
-> 
-> -> Hopefully it'll go OK for her.  Keep an eye/ear open for signs of
-> -> trouble and make a record for her workman's comp claim.  I presume 
that
-> -> stays open until a full and final resolution is made.
->
First week is over and she survived pretty
well overall. Back did "ok" for the most
part and she's being careful to not 
stress it too much. 
 
->  hn> So far so good...she has a couple
->  hn> of appointments this month, and
->  hn> another "evaluation" by the
->  hn> L&I doctor; this time a neurologist.
-> 
-> Hopefully all will go well.
->
AMEN again!
 
-> ->  hn> I have my appointment today.
-> 
-> -> So you'll let us know the outcome of it.........
-> 
->  hn> HAh! " I'm unable to see what's
->  hn> causing your pain at this point."
-> 
-> Sounds about like me & my foot.
->
Second opinion appointment scheduled.
 
->  hn> The dead spot that was on one
->  hn> bone (femur) has disappeared, and
-> 
-> Good.
->
yes!
 
->  hn> a "bone bruise" has appeared on
->  hn> the tibia just below where the
->  hn> dead spot was.
-> 
-> Not good.

And not sure why it appeared.
-> 
->  Increased blood
->  hn> flow all over the place, and so
-> 
-> Good.
->
Maybe.
chat with you next message!
