Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Since I don't normally have either gluten or guar gum in stock,

 RH> Sounds like you got it close enough to make her happy, and that's the
 RH> important thing in the long run.

 NB> It was almost more of a fluke that I hit on that... especially as she

 NB> etc)... By the time I finally had it the way she thought it should

 wanted in there... ;)

The tricks the mind plays when you try to remember a taste of something
you had years ago and want to re-create it. (G)

 RH> I've not looked in a while, but still trying to find the copy of
 RH> the recipe I used to use for rye bread years ago. Maybe as I'm
 RH> organising recipies, etc after the move.............

 NB> That's a good possibility...  ;)  Or when you are looking for
 NB> something completely different..  ;)

Possibly, I did find the sour cream (I always used yogurt) spice pound
cake recipe I was looking for. After I couldn't initially find it, I
went on line and found the lemon pound cake recipe that I've made
various times, including at the picnic. The rye bread recipe was on the
back of a Gold Medal or Pillsbury sack of rye flour from the mid 70s. I
know it had molasses in it, and no eggs, but don't remember that much of
what else and what proportions.

 NB>  NB>> Besides, the kitchen needs a certain amount of order just for
 NB> being  NB>> able to use it...  ;)

 RH> That's for sure, seeing that now with all the boxes in/around our
 RH> kitchen. Had to clear a path to the microwave!

 NB> That sort of thing will send you out to eat in quick order... ;)

We will tomorrow, because it's Veteran's Day.


 NB>  RH>> Sewing room will be a disaster until I get things organised
 NB>  RH>> the way I want; that's a "given".
 NB>  NB>> I suspect that's one of your normally chaos places, anyway... ;)

 RH> Only partly so; I have to keep it organised enough to know what's
 RH> where and so it looks decent when customers come over. Tho one of my
 RH> friends in HI said it wasn't messy, it was "oozing creativity". (G)

 NB> I like that friend's assessment...  she saw the reality behind the
 NB> appearance...  :)

Yes, I guess so.

 RH> It's going to be a quite a time, no matter how you look at it. But, by
 RH> our settling down in WF, it will give more of an opportunity to see
 RH> them. He will finish seminary eventually, probably on line, and come
 RH> back to graduate. We can plan a get together whenever that happens.

 NB> And with you settling in WF, you'll likely still be around whenever he
 NB> does finally graduate...  :)

 RH> We are also talking about visiting them at some point--there has to
 RH> be at least one decent Korean place in the greater Charlotte area!

 NB> One would think!   :)

Thing is, have to find that certain one. I guess that would mean trying
a number of them and trying to determine some sort of ranking system.
