Ärende: a toast!
================
Hi Nancy,


 NB>  NB>> My sister has one that was a family-only recipe in her husband's
 NB>  NB>> family. At my niece's baby shower, her sister-in-law was telling
 NB> MIL tacitly
 NB>  NB>> accepted Kim into the family by actually giving her the
 NB> recipe... ;)  NB>> That was for her rhubarb cream pie...  which by the
 NB> way is also VERY  NB>> tasty...  :)

 RH> Sounds like someone jumped the gun but someone else was gracious
 RH> enough to overlook it.

 NB> Kim didn't actually know that it was supposed to be a secret recipe
 NB> for family only, until she got that dead-silence response.  I think
 NB> her beaux explained later to her what an honor she'd just been
 given... :)

Quite the honor. Good thing she became an official part of the family.

 RH> The one we keep "secret" has been published
 RH> several times in organisational cook books; we just hold it secret.

 NB> Ah... that's a little different, then...  :)

It's just a little thing we started, just for fun. You have to know what
cook book it's published in, and who's family that might have put it in,
to figure out what it is. (G)

 NB>  NB>> We've been waiting for this for months!!!  (G)  I'm heading back
 NB>  NB>> there for lunch with another friend on Thursday... ;)

 RH> Do you have a chair with your name on it? (G)

 NB> Not yet...  (G)   Besides, I'd probably have to share it with the
 NB> other regulars... ;)

Stamtish--table for regulars, found in most German gasthauses.

 NB>  NB>> sufficiently missed by the whole community that it was rebuilt
 NB> totally  NB>> a couple years later...

 RH> Still doing a good business? The Houghton Inn wasn't that great but
 RH> provided a spot for a date without going too far.

 NB> Last we were there, it was...  It provided a nice place to go that
 NB> wasn't too expensive, and that was still reasonably local... it was
 NB> basically out in the middle of nowhere, along with a few small
 NB> hamlets along Rt 6...  ;)  The closest "big" town was about 20 minutes
 NB> or so down the raod...  :)

Some of those places are surprising to find, good food when you do stop.
We found one on the way home from NOLA and Huntsville, AL a couple of
years ago, just barely into NC from TN.


 NB>  NB>> Mostly they've added more places that one can eat, in more areas
 NB> of  NB>> the (expanding) campus...  Probably as much a response to
 NB> more people  NB>> to feed as anything else.  But there are some
 NB> changes in offerings,  NB>> too.. For one thing, beer used to be
 NB> freely available, now not so  NB>> much so. And they have more choices
 NB> available like sushi and other  NB>> ethnic foods.

 RH> Houghton is adding a field house for athletcs but doubt the food will
 RH> be anything too exptic. Not enough diversity in the student population
 RH> to warrant it, I suspect.

 NB> You never know...  Sometimes it's less diversity in the population
 NB> itself and more just people being more willing to try new things...
 NB> It's not all that far from the "big city" (Rochester), and more kids
 NB> probably have transportation now than when you were there... If they
 NB> perceive a
 NB> call for some less common things, they might actually provide it on
 NB> (or near) campus...  :)

It's possible. We know a young lady who's a student there now, have to
contact her and ask. (G)
