Hi Michael,

 ML> I fear the trail left by online and will resist the
 ML> trend toward online banking for as long as I can.
 RH> It has been a help, with us moving around as much as we have.

 ML> I had a sort of hybrid bank that had no public office
 ML> but still dealt with paper. Unfortunately, it got bought
 ML> and then collapsed. I'm still undecided on where to do
 ML> the bulk of my banking - I'm using my brokerage as a
 ML> bank, and that's probably unwise, partially because I
 ML> think I'm not FDIC covered.

You'll reach a point where something will work out for you on a long
term basis.


 ML>   We
 RH> started an account with a credit union down on the coast back when we
 RH> lived there, said we'd close it, go local when we got to our first duty
 RH> station with the Army. We're still with the same credit union; they
 RH> treated us well over all the moves/all the years.

 ML> I could see that working for me as well (I thought of
 ML> TFCU or SDFCU) but still would want to minimize my
 ML> online involvement.

Your choice; I have a technology minded husband who likes to do things
on line. It helps (a bit) on the amount of paper floating around the
house.


 RH> Other than monitoring my bp & trying to get it down, he said I'm doing
 RH> well. No changes in meds or anything like that.

 ML> If the status quo is good, why mess with it.

And, taking my bp at home, the readings are better so that will make him
happier next time I go in.


 ML> Sponge Cake
 ML> cat: historic interest, sweet
 ML> yield: 1

 ML> 10 eggs
 ML> the weight of 9 eggs in sugar
 ML> the weight of 5 eggs of sifted flour

 ML> whites and yolks of the eggs
 ML> beat separately

 ML> [This is the extent of the recipe. Suggested
 ML> interpretation. Combine dry ingredients. Beat
 ML> in yolks. Add flavoring - lemon peel or vanilla -
 ML> and then fold in stiffly beaten whites. Pour
 ML> into greased and floured springform pan. Bake
 ML> half an hour in a moderate oven or until a cake
 ML> tester comes out clean. Cool on a rack and serve
 ML> with fruit and/or powdered sugar.]

 ML> Sarah C. Greene and Lydia Ann Gould, 1825

That's pretty much how recipies were written back then. You knew how to
make the cake, having grown up doing it. I've a German cook book that
has a number of recipies that use the egg weight method of measuring
ingredients also.
