Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Looks like you're pretty well on schedule, then... :)

 RH> I gave Santa his first 2 shirts on Saturday, hemmed and pressed the
 RH> last 2 pair of slacks today. I've done done some prep work for the 3rd
 RH> shirt, will probably start sewing it tomorrow. I also got a couple of
 RH> boxes packed up in the sewing room.

 NB> Good work..  :)

A start, much more to come. I did get a bit done on the next Santa shirt
on Thursday but yesterday & today were busy enough I've not gotten to
the sewing machine. I've got to iron a couple of shirts yet tonight but
supper was easy--we supported the JROTC fish fry. (G)


 RH> I wanted the bread pudding and broccoli salad made the day before the
 RH> picnic so they would be fresher, not made 2 days before. It was only
 RH> about 18 hours difference but still....................gave me
 RH> something to do while Steve was gone. (G)

 NB> Makes sense...  :)

As if I didn't have any other projects I could have done. (G)

 NB>  NB>> Were there lots of good things at the church picnic...?

 RH> Nothing extraordinary. Surprisingly, nobody had done baked beans.

 NB> Guess nobody was in the mood for them...  Or figured that someone else
 NB> would likely be supplying them, and decided not to risk duplicating...

Steve suggested it but I like to baby my beans in the last few hours of
cooking (keep checking, stirring, etc). Couldn't have done it during
church & Sunday School times.

 NB>  NB>> Keep forgetting to ask... isn't it you that likes the Milky Way
 NB> with  NB>> just caramel filling?  They showed up with the other
 NB> once-a-year
 NB>  NB>> goodies in Fun Size for Halloween at our store, in the last
 NB> month or  NB>> so... ;)   Do you have them available down there, or
 NB> would you like  NB>> me to grab a bag for you while they are here...?

 RH> Is it the regular Milky Way filling, just in the fun size bar or is it
 RH> a just caramel, no nougat filling? If it's the former, I can get them.
 RH> If it's the latter, that's something new to me.

 NB> It's "Milky Way Simply Caramel" in the fun size bar.  Only the
 NB> chocolate coating with only caramel inside, no nougat.  I saw them and
 NB> thought of you, and bought a bag to try...

I've not seen them down here so yes, go ahead & grab another bag. (G) I
was going to buy our end of month candy yesterday but Steve asked that I
hold off a couple more weeks.

 NB> I've noticed that the Fun Size seem only to be available with the
 NB> Halloween candy selection... and some special varieties only show up

We see the fun size year round, huge bags of it only in October. Watch
for various different types of M&Ms too. A bag of each of the various
types, mixed together and "seasoned" with a bag of Skittles is M&M Soup,
a recipe from a friend of mine.

 NB> at Halloween as well.  My favorite is the Snickers with Almonds, and
 NB> that
 NB> only shows up now at Halloween, and only in the Fun size... Richard
 NB> rather likes the PB Squared version of Snickers, and that likewise now
 NB> only shows up at Halloween.  And this was the first year I saw the

Steve likes various peanut butter things; he is good about keeping them
away from my chocolate.

 NB> Simply Caramel Milky Way....

Sounds simply yummy....
