============================
Hi Nancy,


 RH> Probably not so I guess it's a good thing we don't live closer to the
 RH> coast. Usually when I get seafood, I'll get a 2 combination of shrimp
 RH> and scallops. Both, if fresh and cooked properly, just about melt in
 RH> your mouth. If older and overcooked, they're almost as rubbery as
 RH> calamari, another of my favorites.

 NB> I like all 3... particularly when not rubbery...  :)

Same here; I'm not as crazy about oysters as I am for the other 3. In
limited quantities and well prepared, they're good but the other 3 get
more of my orders. (G)


 NB>  NB>> Likewise... I'm heading out to our camp on the Pond tomorrow
 NB> (3rd) for  NB>> a week, coming back the 10th...

 RH> Hope you have fun.

 NB> Did... now I'm back in catching-up mode...  ;)  I got a bit more rest
 NB> than I'd expected, which was a nice bonus.

Probably needed the rest, as busy as you sound.

 NB> likely  NB>> there for the full time (19-23) if at all possible... But
 NB> possibly the  NB>> 18th would work...

 RH> OK, I ran it by Steve and he agreed to it. We may combine it with a
 RH> trip to Olindo's Italian Market again.

 NB> It's fine with Richard, too.  Where would you like to go this time?
 NB> Supper's probably the best for us, as well...

Asian, your choice. Give us a time and place, we'll meet you there. And
yes, Steve said we will make a stop at Olindo's first. I'm pretty sure
you have our phone #s (or mine at least) fom 2 years ago & email is at
the bottom of this message.


 RH> I just had a couple of Akmak crackers with herbed cream cheese--about
 RH> 12 carbs--simple but tasted good and enough of a munchie that I wasn't
 RH> left wanting more. One date is 18 carbs so I'd have to nibble it really
 RH> slow to get a feeling of fullness from it. Figuring out how much I can
 RH> eat of different things is our newest challenge, thankfully a lot of
 RH> stuff is nutrition labeled now.

 NB> Some things are munchies to satisfy, others are simply sweet treats...

Yes, and some things aren't worth the little bit you are allotted per
portion. The keeher pudding Steve made just before we left was one of
those. Aldi's semi sweet chocolate with mint bars are worth it--14 grams
of delight. The pudding worked out to a couple, 3 tablespoons for 15
carb grams.

 RH> Last night I portion packed some dry
 RH> cereal and cashews, labeling them with the carb count so I can take
 RH> them next week. It will save taking a box & measuring--and having to
 RH> eat my parent's cereals that have HFCS in them.

 NB> Good thinking/planning.  :)

I'm doing a lot of that--bought a container of a berry nutty snack blend
(mixed nuts & dried berries) here, and a box of zipper snack bags. Got
back to the house and portioned the container out into 15 carb servings.
That way I can just grab one for a snack and know how much I'm getting,
without mindless munching.

Catch you later,
