Saves moving records unnecessarily, anyway...  when/if you move,
everything will have to move with you... no reason to add complications
to the record-keeping... :)

Sounds like things are getting pretty stable, then... at least for your
health...  ;)

 NB>> Closer to school was a good thing, for sure...

Quite nice.  :)

 NB>> Today's supposed to not get out of the 30's, but supposed to be
 NB>> warming up again tomorrow and into the week...  Meanwhile, I have a
 NB>> major puddle where my car is supposed to be parked in the driveway...
 NB>> guess the ground there is still too frozen to absorb it...

 RH> get into the 70s later this week.

That sounds vaguely spring-ish, anyway... ;)  We got another 6-8 inches
of wet heavy snow on Sunday, and then warmer temps since that have
mostly melted things off again...  and that major puddle is STILL in my
parking spot in the driveway... abated ever so slightly, so maybe the
ground is starting to absorb it finally..  :)

 NB>>> I suspect that I would have done that weight measurement by
 NB>>> guestimation, figuring that an ounce or two either way wasn't
 NB>>> going to make much of a difference...  :)
 RH>> I did have to guesstimate; the German scale wasn't that precise. Close
 RH>> enough to get in the ballpark but not close enough to be spot on.
 NB>> I probably would have just hefted them... ;)

 RH> My wrists weren't that strong at the time so it was better tho get a
 RH> closer measurement using the scale.

I was thinking more a tomato at a time... ;)  ("yeah, that one's about
half a pound... that one a little more..." [g])

 RH> Had to have someone else do the heavier lifting of the pot, etc.

But of course.   :)
 
 NB>> Dunno as we've gone through all that many bottles of hot sauce.. but
 NB>> then we tend to get our hot spicy foods eating at all our favorite
 NB>> restaurants, so there's less need for the sauces at home... ;)

 RH> We vary our restaurant choices and do more cooking at home than you do
 RH> so tend to keep at least one or two bottles of hot stuff in the
 RH> fridge. 

We vary our restaurant choices, too... but many of them are places where
the cuisine is generally spicy... ;)  And tend not to go places where I
can just as easily make most of the offerings...  :)  What spicy cooking
I do do at home tends to have spiciness from other than a bottle, too...

 RH> I'll get some tabasco when we first move to a place, just as a fill
 RH> in until Steve gets his hot sauce made. Then the tabasco gets used
 RH> up at a slower rate as we start using other sauces & spices.

Makes sense...  :)   I've got a little jar of hot pepper sauce from
Wegman's I've used somewhat sparingly for some applications... one time
I used it on a pizza, it was hotter than Richard totally appreciated. ;0
I think it's lasted now for over a year... and is maybe half gone... ;)
