 NB>>> Beef stew's nice too..  :)
 RH>> All enjoyed it and we put a bit into the freezer for Dad to have
 RH>> another time.
 NB>> He'll enjoy it.  :)

 RH> Even tho it's based on what Mom used to make, it has my own twists
 RH> to it. He didn't object to them the other night (more onion, some
 RH> mushrooms & tomato sauce added, also various herbs & spices Mom
 RH> doesn't use). My brothers scarfed down a good bit of it as well.
 
Of course you would have made it yours...  ;)  So, your older brother
stuck around for a while, too...?  :)

 RH>> I'd have gone for the breast meat. What was it marinaded in?
 NB>> I know... you like the white meat... and I much prefer dark...  ;)
 NB>> Dunno what the marinade was... there was some rumor that it was a
 NB>> salad dressing, like Caesar dressing, but I don't know if it was
 NB>> prepared or if Eric made it up from scratch...  Had little flecks
 NB>> of red on the outside of the chicken, anyway... ;)

 RH> Possibly Italian dressing?
 
Dunno... possibly...  He wasn't in church yesterday, so I couldn't ask
him... 
 
 RH>> Quite ambitious. Lots of veggies--I would have probably taken a bit
 RH>> of corn and some broccoli, as well as a little hors d'oevre.
 NB>> The hors d'oeuvre was indeed ambitious... I think Sam hadn't realized
 NB>> just how painstaking it would be.... but it was well worth the effort.
 NB>> He does like to do that sort of thing...  :)

 RH> Does he work in a food services job? Sounds like he'd enjoy that.
 
No, if he had to do it regularly, every day, he might get tired of it...
I think his degree was in biology, though...  At the moment, he's with a
temp agency, I think at some warehouse job... not the best economy...

 RH>> I like to combine apple with tuna--but not if I know you're going
 RH>> to be eating it.
 NB>> I used to like putting apple into things, too... ;)  And eating it...
 NB>> ;0

 RH> Sigh! Any chance you'll "outgrow" the allergy?

Your guess is as good as mine... but I suspect not...  unless it was
caused by some imbalance that is (or can be) righted someday...
 
 RH>> Feast time!  If you went hungry, it was your own fault.
 NB>> Absolutely..  :)  There was some effort put into making sure that the
 NB>> people with special dietary needs wouldn't go hungry, either... :)

 RH> Sweet! So many people don't think of that when cooking for a crowd.
 
This group tends to think at least to some extent that direction...
having a number of people that do have dietary issues does tend to
encourage that sort of thinking and planning...  especially when they
are doing some of the planning... ;)

 NB>> A cake made in the shape of, and frosted to look like, a shark head
 NB>> with the mouth open and showing all the teeth... :)

 RH> CUTE! Hopefully the one bringing it got pictures before it was cut up.

Hopefully...  :)   They might have done so before bringing it to church,
even...  :)
 
 NB>> Our church, small as it is, seems to have a high percentage of that...
 NB>> I know of 5 adults, along with two of the three children of that one
 NB>> family.  And at least one of the adults is also lactose intolerant...

 RH> It's also more out in the open much more than it used to be.

True...  My one friend, who's been at the church for years, has had the
gluten intolerance for most if not all that time, so at least on a quiet
level, some of us were aware of it... hers isn't so severe that she
can't take the bread at communion, so that never was an issue until more
recently when the family that has the severe issues started coming...
now she provides a couple slices worth of gluten-free bread to be
offered as an option at communion... like I said, there's 5 adults that
take advantage of that regularly...  :)
 
 NB>>> I think we were fed better than if we'd gone out to eat for
 NB>>> Mother's Day...  :)
 RH>> I don't think so, I know so! (G)
 NB>> And you didn't even get to taste it...  ;)

 RH> Not physically but from your description, it was a feast well worth
 RH> the effort.

But of course... :)
