Hi Ruth,

-> Some is better quality than others.  What we had in GA was not very
-> good; it looked cheap.  OTOH, Steve's dad put some in their house in FL
-> that looks really nice.  The church flooring falls into the latter

 RH> Like anything else, you probably get what you pay for.

Yes, I dented the GA stuff by dropping the lid to my cast iron dutch
oven--a distance of a foot or less.  Lowest government bidder.

->  RH> On the other hand, Sam helped keep the kitchen floor clean.

-> Especially around his food dish.  He did slobber his water somewhat so
-> we kept the dish on a plastic place mat.  He also made sure no food
-> stayed on the floor around the dining "room" table as well.

 RH> I knew dogs were good for something!

He was good for comic relief too, especially singing duets with Deborah.

->  RH> That's more or less true here too.  If it's really foul, it gets
->  RH> pitched. There are some things I just buy for donation if I can get

-> I'll just pitch; what I by for donation is better.  Usually we do canned
-> pasta and stuff like that unless there's a specific request.  Not the
-> greatest but it's on just about all food pantry lists.

 RH> They don't ask for it here.  Peanut butter and jelly get a lot of
 RH> play, as do other shelf-stable proteins.  I donate a lot of pasta and
 RH> rice mixes because they're pre-seasoned, and anyone using a food
 RH> pantry isn't likely to keep a lot of seasonings on hand.

Shelf stable is always on the list but list contents vary from place to
place. In HI, pasta was not requested much but rice was, all the time.

-> We're to get up near 100 the next few days.  Bread and salsa are on hold

 RH> That's where enclosed, but unheated/air conditioned, porches come in
 RH> handy. Slow cookers and table ovens go out there to heat up the
 RH> outdoors instead of the indoors.

Had to put them on hold for another reason--quick trip to NY.

-> Drinking milk is soy, home made plain or vanilla for Steve and Silk
-> brand chocolate for me.

 RH> Ever try almond milk?  I love that stuff; it tastes better than soy
 RH> ever did.

Steve likes it; I'm not much of a milk drinker anyway so haven't tried
it beyond a few sips of his.
