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

-> Not all the time.  I bought some Annie's Mac & Cheese that wasn't.  It
-> was maybe a half step above the blue box brand, only because the cheese
-> wasn't a garish orange color.  But, never again for our consumption.

 RH> Awww, I like that disgusting garish orange; it's a link to my
 RH> childhood.

Not my chldhood; my mom made the real thing. Of course she used white
macaroni, white flour, not always a good grade cheddar but better than
the orange plastic stuff..................................Mine is so
much better.

->  RH> Colored water with HFCS.  They also make fairly decent ice packs.

-> A bag of frozen veggies makes a better ice pack and is better eating

 RH> True, but you can't thaw and refreeze the peas and expect to eat them.
 RH> These things wouldn't care.

I'm not fond of peas anyway.


-> I'll have to check out which this is--and make sure I get another jar
-> before they quit selling for the winter.  Because of this & that, we

 RH> Whoops.  I can get local honey in a small local supermarket, but it's
 RH> not raw.

I like getting it up at the market--I can put a face with the name on
the label.  Gave her my bread recipe last year that I use the honey in.

-> stuff.  They want things that will keep on a shelf, making "shopping"
-> easier.  At least the food banks I've dealt with work that

know most of them are.  Canned tuna and peanut butter are RH> always
good though.

As well as canned pasta, the boxed mac & cheese, etc.

-> No idea but wouldn't surprise me at all if it were.  Now aiming for a
-> move in date of September 26.

 RH> That's going to be ... interesting.  It always is.

We've had work parties instead of prayer meetings in August and will
continue to do so for the first few Wed. nights of September.  Also
several all day work Saturdays for those that could do so.

->  RH> New York State Chili ... headed to Texas.  That sounds a bit odd.

-> All over the country and Germany chili by that point.

 RH> I'll bet some of it is still being made in Germany too.  It's got to
 RH> be one up on currywurst.

All currywurst usually is, is a bratwurst with curry ketchup.  Easy way
to make curry ketchup is a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of curry
powder. (G)  But yes, my chili has that beat, hands down.

->  RH> Sounds good to me too.  A man who cooks is a good thing.

-> Even better is one that cleans up after his cooking. (G)

 RH> Amen to that!

Which is something he had to learn after we got married.  Took moving to
a place with a dishwasher that really made the idea stick.

-> stopped at a Firehouse Subs near Quantico, VA for supper.  Decided to
-> split the 12" sub (forget which one but it was a hot meat & cheese).
-> They split it for us, brought it out in 2 baskets, each with a pickle
-> instead of the one pickle we thought we'd share.  We split a bag of
-> chips with it.  It was a good sandwich; we plan to check the chain out
-> again.

 RH> There aren't any this far north, but then we get the good ones from
 RH> locally owned pizza joints.

No surprise.  We've not found any pizza places other than chain ones or
Italian restaurants where it's just part of the menu.


->  RH> it fixed.  It's a 2001.

-> Ours was 1992 van, and we were planning to drive it cross country from
-> LA to Savannah, via Las Vegas, Phoenix, Sierra Vista & then head east.
-> This was early September so AC would have been a must.  Instead we got
-> the Focus--and we know what happened to that.

 RH> My cat got it, if I remember properly.  Or something similar.

Passenger Airbag Disabled light kept coming on with a passenger.  Seven
trips to the dealership for that, still not resolved when we decided
"enough already" and traded it.  The name lettering on the back of the
car was a bit crooked when we bought the car; we always said that it was
"out of focus".  Car ended up being that way in more ways than those 2
issues.
