Ärende: RE: Prep work
=====================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> range. Can't say as I miss that; the low temps we've been having are
-> -> plenty cold enough for me. Did you see on the news the picture of the
-> -> car in NYC covered with ice?  They said a water main or something 
broek,
-> 
->  hn> Did NOT see the car, things have been
->  hn> rather hectic, Anne and Amanda are
->  hn> in New York going through Anne's mom's
->  hn> effects, and won't be returning until this
-> 
-> I know it took my mom and her sisters several sessions to go thru all of
-> their mom's things. Some big things had been pre decided but others were
-> done in a room by room go thru. I'd just gotten engaged when they did
-> the kitchen so my mom let me sit in on that session. I ended up with a
-> number of useful things; I've still got most of them.
->
It was a pretty tough thing for
the girls to do; lots of memories
and tears as well. They brought a 
bunch of stuff back in their luggage
and mailed a box or two as well. 
Amanda got some special memories
from Mom's jewelry. 
-> 
->  hn> weekend some time....I've seldom even
->  hn> had the TV on when I'm home, and
->  hn> have been pretty exhausted when I
->  hn> am, so I've been getting to bed early.
-> 
-> I understand. We don't keep the tv on too much as we're both studying or
-> doing other things where it's not practical to try to watch the tube at
-> the same time. I've been doing some sewing the last few days, catching
-> up on odd projects and prepping fabric for others.
->
If I had it on it was usually
just for background noise or 
news and weather. Would 
put it on in the evening if I 
was not G-chatting with 
either Anne or Amanda...
love that video chatting now! 
 
-> ->  hn> have salad stuff in one, lunchmeats
-> ->  hn> and cheeses in one and "prepped" stuff
-> 
-> -> I've got a meat/cheese drawer as well, further up in the fridge. It's
-> -> stuffed full, mostly cheese in it right now. The narrow space underneath
-> -> is good for stowing a bag of tortillas. (G)
-> 
->  hn> We get the low carb tortillas and
->  hn> I think they are only 10 to  bag
->  hn> so we go through them fast enough
->  hn> that they don't need to go in the
->  hn> fridge.  With Anne gone though I
->  hn> have not been eating the "regular"
->  hn> meal plan so I put the bag in the
->  hn> fridge till Anne gets home!
-> 
-> We get the whole wheat or mixed whole grain ones, usually 8-1o per bag.
-> It's easier to keep them in the fridge as my counter & cabinet spaces
-> are limited. They stay fresher too.
->
I put them in the fridge every so 
often, but usually have them out 
on the counter.
 
-> -> is. Got it from the local farmer's market so we've known the guy who
-> -> raises them for a while. Yes, it is good tasting but the price is not in
-> -> our everyday budget.
-> 
->  hn> Yep, same here.
-> 
-> So it's doubtful we'll ever do it again.
->
LOL yep, same here. We do sometimes
get an organic free range bird for
Thanksgiving, but that's because 
the store has them on big sale 
if you wait till just before the 
Holiday.
 
-> -> BTW, our plans have had to change so we're not going to be in the
-> -> northwest this summer. Sigh!
-> 
->  hn> Anne's trip back to NY for her Mom's
->  hn> funeral and all has bitten a chunk
->  hn> out of our "disposable" income
->  hn> for the year as well...so our
->  hn> plans have become subject to
->  hn> severe scrutiny as well!.
-> 
-> We're heading out west, but to the southwest instead of the northwest.
-> 
Let me guess, AZ and Las Vegas??

Anne and Amanda arrived late last
night, and we are spending today
talking and remembering and hugging.
I've got a roast (beef) in the oven and 
brussels sprouts and cauliflower for 
sides. I'm looking forward to some
comfort food tonight.
chat with you soon!
