 NB>> I hear you.  We have an ancient (probably cheap, even) one in a dining
 NB>> room window that came with the house (we bought the house 38 years
 NB>> ago). It can substantiate the feeling that the heat should have come
 NB>> on hours ago, and let one know that a jacket is definitely a good idea
 NB>> for outside... ;)

 RH> Yours probably is simple, ours is new fangled electronics.

True, ours is simple, not electronic... :)

 RH>> The bread is gone; it made four rounds. Two went down to some Afghani
 RH>> friends; we kept 2 and finished the last with supper tonight. They're
 RH>> good with kalua style pork stuffed into them. (G)
 NB>> Nice thick pocket bread...  :)  Good for substantial fills... :)

 RH> Yes, now we can make the Turkish style doners like we had in Berlin.

So now it's less necessary to find an authentic supplier here.. ;)

 RH> We had a pot for a while (Steve had it before we were married), then
 RH> went to a hot air popper. Went back to a pot for a bit, had a stove
 RH> top crank popper in GA and now we're back to a hot air popper. Our
 RH> first ktten knew where the first pot was/when we pulled it out & our
 RH> cocker spaniel knew the sound of the first hot air popper. Both of them
 RH> wouldn't leave us alone until they got their share of popcorn.

We've had cats that thought popcorn was treats, too...  :)
 
 RH>> We took that machine (by itself, with the controls)
 RH>> to be serviced yesterday; I put it in the car but Steve pulled it out
 RH>> at the place where it will be worked on. Just a basic tune up and
 RH>> tweaking of the tension; its gotten a lot of use this past year. 
 NB>> And you have plenty more projects planned, for which you need it in
 NB>> good working order...  :)

 RH> That's my travel machine but it gets a lot of work out. Most projects
 RH> are done on my Pfaff, the work horse.

Ah.  And it's getting to be traveling time, so better to have it in good
order... :) 

 RH>> And I know we'll be seeing the report here. Hopefully it's good news
 RH>> and Richard can go back to a semi normal routine.
 NB>> Hopefully.
 
Preliminary update... the stress test is scheduled for tomorrow... the
doc is supposed to be using that to decide what and if he should be
doing back at work at Home Depot... From everything I've been seeing,
his heart seems to be acting pretty much the same at rest as when doing
things, so we are hopeful that that will indeed be the case when it's
put to the test...

 NB>> heart to tell her that we prefer dark chicken (she made a point of
 NB>> telling me that it really was white chicken breast, just that the
 NB>> teriyaki marinade made it look dark) and brown rice (she made white
 NB>> rice, of course).  It was tasty all the same, and made two meals, as
 NB>> there was plenty of it.  The second night I tossed in some fresh
 NB>> mushrooms (after steaming them) to balance the sodium even further,
 NB>> and make a little variety..  :)  We certainly appreciated the thought
 NB>> and the love behind the meal.  :)

 RH> Those are the times you just smile and say "thank you". Been there,
 RH> done that.

Exactly.  :)

... Are cranberries healthy?  I've never heard one complain.
