Exactly.

It was actually on the north side of Syracuse, N. Syracuse to be exact. 
But still quite accessible, and took us a bit less than 2 hours...

Probably very much like your Life Groups.  Bible study and prayer, with
a good dose of fellowship and doing things together.  Meals were
sometimes a part of it as well... definitely refreshments afterwards in
any case... :)

 NB>>> dinner at church... turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy,
 NB>>> winter squash, broccoli, cranberry sauce, rolls and butter, raw
 NB>>> baby carrots... little cups with candy corn and candy pumpkins on
 NB>>> the tables... and for dessert, a wide assortment of pies and other
 NB>>> goodies...
 RH>> IOW, you got stuffed. (G)
 NB>> Sufficiently, anyway...  :)  I stopped well before it becoming
 NB>> uncomfortable...  ;)

 RH> I do that too. It's a lot better than getting that overstuffed
 RH> feeling. 

Yup.

 NB>>> the soup tomorrow...  and the rest of the meat will either get
 NB>>> added to the soup or be used for sandwiches..
 RH>> Sounds good; I'm putting most of the chicken carcase from the other
 RH>> day into the small crock pot tomorrow.
 NB>> Turned out there was more than enough extra meat just from the bones
 NB>> to add to the soup, so the rest will be sandwiches... maybe today...
 NB>> ;) Still have some soup left, too...  turned out quite nicely...  :)

 RH> Steve finished the soup tonight but I've got about a cup of stock I'll
 RH> use for something this week.
 
The soup is gone now... and so is the extra meat... some went into a
sandwich, the rest into a turkey salad...  :)
 
 NB>> Was that chicken carcase from the one Steve finally smoked for
 NB>> supper...?   :)

 RH> Yes, we still have a thigh piece left so I'll probably do something
 RH> with it and the stock for a meal for the 2 of us.

Sounds like a plan...  :)
