Ärende: Mother's day dinner
===========================
Hi Nancy,


 RH> Looking at the list of books my brother sent out--his claims, my one
 RH> sister's claims, and my other brother's claims, I've had a few
 RH> surprises in who wants what. Some, I thought would get claimed fast,
 RH> nobody has wanted. Still have to get out our list but have to get
 RH> Steve's help in setting up a spread sheet format.

 NB> Sometimes by the time the divvying happens, some of the most wanted
 NB> items have already been acquired elsewise...  Like some of the
 NB> reference books that my Mom has about hymns, I've found in second-hand
 NB> book
 NB> stores, and already have in my collection... so they'd be available to
 NB> other of my siblings...  ;)

We've owned copies for 35+ years of 2 of the books of poems my great
grandfather wrote. I put my mom's copy of the 3rd book in the box I
brought down last month--most of them are in German, some English.


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

 RH> We didn't want a home birth. We were supposed to have gone up to New
 RH> Bern to hear a guest pastor, followed by a pot luck dinner. Missed out
 RH> on both counts. The pastor's wife called the hospital just after
 RH> Deborah was born so the nurse told her that I'd had the baby, no other
 RH> details, and to call back in a bit. She called back while everybody was
 RH> eating so she could make the announcement to all. (G)

 NB> At least she timed her calls well...  :)   Too bad you missed the
 NB> guest pastor and the potluck... but that's the "luck of the draw" so
 NB> to speak...  (G)

Yes, but I had to settle for hospital food instead of the good cooking
of the ladies from church.


 NB>  RH>> Friday night demonstrators? Usually I see them on week ends, but
 NB> I  RH>> don't shop at Wegman's most of the time.
 NB>  NB>> Generally weekends, but sometimes they've been around other
 NB> times  NB>> during the week... depends on what's on tap to be
 NB> pushed...  ;)

 RH> I think most places generally try to do the promos on Saturdays,
 RH> with the exception of places like Costco. They have several promos
 RH> every day, more so on week ends. You could have a whole meal on
 RH> promos there! (G)

 NB> BJ's is like that too, especially during lunch hours...  :)

There's a coupon for a free 60 day BJ's membership in yesterday's paper
but it expires in early July. We weren't too impressed with the local
one anyway. Didn't get in on any food demos when we walked thru it once.

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

 RH> Both Steve and I were raised with our moms doing varients of the
 RH> marinade. It's a family favorite--after Robert was born, my sister
 RH> and her family came over to Rachel's one night with some chicken,
 RH> ready to put on the grill.

 NB> Neither of us was raised on them... nor, really, on sauces...  The
 NB> closest to something sauced in my house growing up was the Sunday
 NB> chicken... chicken pieces on a bed of rice with mushroom soup baked in
 NB> the oven while we were away at church...  the rice was put in dry and
 NB> cooked with everything else...  :)

Does it work well with brown rice? I've seen recipies for similar and
always wondered if brown rice would work. My mom wasn't into sauces and
such like but this one chicken marinade was used quite often in the
summer. I guess it was so that by grilling, the kitchen would not be
heated up quite as much. She'd usually do a potato salad and if in
season, corn on the cob from the garden.
