====================================================================
->  RH> Mom has one wrist that gives her trouble off and on lately.  I get
->  RH> those jobs now.
-> 
-> I've got 2 wrists and an elbow that give me trouble on an almost
-> constant basis.  Most of the time it's easier to do things myself than
-> to ask Steve (if he's home) to do for me.  The other times, it's usually
-> a matter of "I need help, now!" but I usually do try to forwarn him if
-> I'm asking for his help.
-> 
It could be a case of "everything hurts tonight, you're cooking" too.  At
least on occasion.  

-> -> Let's not get into a "can you top (or bottom?) this" food contest;
it's
-> -> not worth it.  Just suffice to say there are lots of really gross
"eats"
-> -> out there.
-> 
->  RH> Lots of them appeared in high school cafeterias, and that's not
even
->  RH> considering the mystery meat.
-> 
-> College food could be pretty gross too.  Before we went to cafeteria
-> style, the menues would be printed in the college newspaper.  "Gravy
-> train" was the name used, not by accident, a few times for the hamburger
-> gravy on a gritty wheat roll.

Ewwwww.  Gravy on bread - are you sure that wasn't for the dog pound?
 
-> -> It was a Sunday night meal; I could see the sense of not having the
-> -> kitchen staff turn out a big meal after giving us one at noon time.
-> 
->  RH> True, but even so.  Would tuna salad have been much harder?
-> 
-> German hospital, I'm not sure if they would have known what tuna salad
-> was.  Roll mops, they did understand.
-> 
There are worse things.  After all, pickles are never a bad idea unless
vinegar is off the menu for some reason..
 
-> Steve introduced me as his wife, Ruth Weiss, both the day after we got
-> married and again, about 6 years later.  I did not keep my maiden name,
-> as was common, when we got married--at least I don't think I did. (G)

He wasn't used to referring to you with the new name yet, I guess. 
Happens.  
 
-> -> A member of the zipper club now?
-> 
->  RH> Yep.  Hurts every time it rains.
-> 
-> Or if she laughs too hard?  Anyway, Mom came home from rehab yesterday;

Well, he, but probably.

-> they'll go back to Florida in a couple of weeks.  One of my sisters in
-> law is an RN; she will go with them for a few days to help square away
-> doctor's appointments, etc.

Not to mention riding herd on the patient.  As beat up as I am, I get that
job sometimes with friends around here.  
 
-> -> got a container of smoked chicken stock tho, that's going to be held
out
-> -> and used by itself in rice or chicken soup.
-> 
->  RH> Otherwise you get liquid smoke bouillon?
-> 
-> No, just don't want everything to have the hint of smoke flavor.  If I
-> make something for give away, the recipient may not care for smoke
-> flavoring.
-> 
It could get concentrated along with the rest of the stock.  It can get too
intense for some that way.
