====================
Hi Ruth,

-> Check out the GE Original but make sure you get the one without
-> artificial flavors.  That's the original original & the one I go for.

 RH> I'd have to go hunting in Whole Foods or the like, probably.

Alternative is how we order it--on line.  But we order a case (6 boxes)
at a time.

->  RH> gross unless it's iced.  The Vietnamese do an iced milky tea that's
->  RH> actually really good.  Of course it's also loaded with sugar, but

-> I quit putting milk in my tea years ago (but do drink chai).  Now it's
-> just raw sugar, or sometimes honey.

 RH> Ever try agave nectar?  It has a lot less flavor than honey, but it's
 RH> in the same neighborhood.  I put both in plain yogurt, but nothing in
 RH> my tea but hot water.

Never tried it. Plain yogurt usually gets fruit or jam around here.

->  RH> If they're big enough to peel.  When the weather cools off I'll cut
->  RH> them in half lengthwise and bake 'em.

-> MIght give that a try this fall.  Don't want to wait too far into fall
-> because of the seaonality of eggplant.  Besides, winter squashes will
-> get baked more as the weather cools.

 RH> True.  I haven't done one in ages, although I did have to bake a bunch
 RH> of stuff Friday night.

I'm getting caught up with other stuff.  Being gone for almost a week,
on short notice, leaves a lot to do the first couple of days home.
Supper was stuffed shells (I made) from the freezer and fruit that had
carried over the time gone in the fridge.

->  RH> And homework starts piling on.

-> That's started already.

 RH> Ouch.

Part of the program here.  Not an easy program but well worth it.


->  RH> The ones that go Oink?  I like vegetables that oink.

-> You got that one right.

 RH> I've got some sliced boneless country vegetable ribs in the fridge at
 RH> the moment.  They're dinner tomorrow.

Ours will be some chicken we marinaded & smoked earlier this summer,
cole slaw to be made tomorrow and whatever else I add to it.  Going to
make potato salad (only a single batch) this week too.

-> On beyond Zebra.  Try west TX for a real beyond beyond feeling.  We
-> couldn't get either AM or FM radio going thru there 13 years ago.

 RH> were approaching civilization when you picked up an FM signal.  AM has
 RH> a 400+ mile reach, especially at night, so it's no help except to
 RH> announce that you're headed in the right direction.

Not neccessarily if you get skip. (G)

->  RH> America's Funniest Home Video would work too, and some of their
->  RH> submissions earn actual money.

-> So we've seen but couldn't have afforded a camera at that time.

 RH> Those were the days of expensive video cameras and cheap cars.

Depends on your definition of cheap.  Last cheap new one was the Honda
Civic CVCC wagon we bought in 1977 for @ $3,000.
