 RH>> We have to make a list and get it out for my siblings to say if they
 RH>> want any or not. I know my one brother has already said he's not
 RH>> interested but we have to do the list, so others can decide. I've a
 RH>> feeling we'll end up keeping most all of them because they're 1)
 RH>> theology and 2) in old script German.
 NB>> Possibly someone would want it as a remembrance, but it does seem as
 NB>> though it is more the sort of thing that you'd be more interested in
 NB>> than they would be...  :)

 RH> I can see one sister wanting some books as a remembrance type thing
 RH> but not my other brother, and doubtful my other sister would want any.
 
Sometimes one gets surprised... but you are probably right on that.  :)
 
 NB>> That would have been good planning...  ;)  The other factor being that
 NB>> by the later babies, one might not really notice the early labor, or
 NB>> discount as merely Braxton-Hicks..  ;)

 RH> Possibly; we were only at the hospital about an hour befoe Deborah was
 RH> born. I wasn't quite sure, told Steve better go get checked, just in
 RH> case. By the time we got there tho, I was pretty sure it was the real
 RH> thing.

And they could substantiate it...   Better to go early and be sent home,
than risk having the baby at home, or on the way... unless a home birth
was what one wanted anyway...  ;)

 NB>>> No surprise there...  ;)  I've been known, many a time, to list
 NB>>> the long list...  ;0
 RH>> On paper or just mentally? On paper, others can see what's there add
 RH>> to it. Harder to do that with a mental list. (G)
 NB>> Usually orally..  ;)   I think doing it on paper would just be way too
 NB>> discouraging... ALL the ways I can't enjoy apples any more, and there
 NB>> in black and white forever and ever, amen...!   ;0   I can give the
 NB>> recitation at the picnic, if you so desire...  (G)

 RH> I'll take your word for it but maybe if you did do the recitation, we
 RH> could all brainstorm on other apple dishes. (G)

Y'all being cooks, probably you WOULD know of some I wouldn't think
of...  (G)   Thus deepening my despair over the inaccessability of yet
more lovely apple dishes...  (G)

 NB>>> Exactly... and the odder the allergy, the less likely one will
 NB>>> remember unless there's some reason to...
 RH>> You would think an odd allergy would be remembered easier.
 NB>> Sorta... but then, since it isn't "normal", often what might be
 NB>> remembered is just "Nancy's allergic to something odd"...  Some of the
 NB>> demonstrators at Wegmans remember that I can't have apples, especially
 NB>> the ones that we tend to talk with on a regular basis...

 RH> Friday night demonstrators? Usually I see them on week ends, but I
 RH> don't shop at Wegman's most of the time.

Generally weekends, but sometimes they've been around other times during
the week... depends on what's on tap to be pushed...  ;)

 RH>> I'm not surprised. Thanks for verifying my hunch. It's an easy do
 RH>> marinade that really adds a lot of flavor.
 NB>> I'm not usually that fussy about my cooking..  (G)

 RH> As in you don't marinade? I just used an easy one, I grew up with.

Rarely, if ever, now... did a little years ago... but Richard likes
plain food generally, so I cook pretty simply usually... :)

 RH> It's for chicken, best grilled but ok baked or broiled. Just a mix of 1
 RH> cup vinegar, 1/2 cup oil, 1 egg, 1 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning and 3
 RH> teaspoons of salt. Mix well (a blender works well), pour over chicken
 RH> and marinade for a minimum of 6 hours. We did it for 24 hours this
 RH> time, once when we were first married, we ended up marinading it for
 RH> several days as things came up that we couldn't cook it when originally
 RH> planned. Still tasted really good.

Marinades help meat keep a little longer, too...  Just not something I
do much of...  :)   I will, on occasion, buy the ready-marinaded meats
at Wegmans... :)
