Hi Michael,

 RH> You can detect it easier than I can. I catch some but not all squeeks
 RH> and bleats. Most of the time it's because I'm just tuning it out.

 ML> A combination of experience and attention, I think.

Probably so. I'm only sporadically involved with music on a performance
basis. Steve likes talk radio more than I do; I half tune it out if it's
on in the car. I pay more attention to some shows than others.

 RH> My dad's parents both died in 1949; Dad and Mom got married in 1950.
 RH> My mom's dad died in early 1958, mom in 1974 but her mind was pretty
 RH> much gone for some years before that. Steve lost his first grandparent
 RH> just after finishing Basic Training; his last one died while we were in
 RH> AZ.

 ML> An interesting dynamic of generation overlaps and stuff. I guess
 ML> Steve was luckier in that regard.

Yes, he was. Our girls got to meet their great grandparents on Steve's
side but, because of our travels with the military, have fuzzy memories
of them. Unlike the generations that live in the same community (or
house), we're scattered all over the States. Our girls picked up a lot
of our cooking and eating (at home) but are also very much "fast food
generation" in their eating.


 RH> For all that I'm into playing the piano, he could keep that one note.
 RH> (G) That's why I like the smaller net book size computer too, easier
 RH> for me to type on it.

 ML> I'm in between, because although smaller keyboards suit me
 ML> well, smaller screens cause problems. Also smaller keyboards
 ML> are often more cheaply made.

We've not encountered cheaper keyboards but I agree on the screen size.
Steve upgraded me to his Aspire (the pink computer) recently because it
has a 10" screen since I do most of my work on the net book. It's cut
down, but not eliminated totally, a problem with headaches. Part of
that, too, could be because I'm wearing 5 year old lenses.


 RH> Are these your bass notes? (GD&R)

 ML> What kind of fishy statement is that?

A sole-ly shellfish one.


 -=> Ruth Haffly said to Jim Weller <=-

 RH> Steve has used it as part of
 RH> a sauce for the Boston butt he smoked last week that we turned into
 RH> pulled pork.

 ML> A couple years ago I would not have dreamed I'd be reading
 ML> that sentence.

Two years ago he was close to a conversion, 5 years ago he might have
had a bite or two but 10 years ago, no way.


 ML>       Title: Fresh Garden Mint Ice Cream
 ML>  Categories: Desserts, Ice cream
 ML>    Servings:  1

 ML>   1 1/2 c  Sugar                               1 c  Light corn syrup
 ML>   1 1/2 c  Water                               1 c  Unsweetened
 ML> pineapple juice       1 c  Fresh pineapple;                    2 c
 ML> Milk
 ML>            - crushed finely                    2 c  Whipping cream
 ML>       2 c  Mint leaves; crush finely         1/4 c  Creme de menthe

Good but for the last ingredient. How about a strong mint tea
concentrate?
