 RH>> We didn't go to specifically play medieval but went just for the fun
 RH>> of it. My brother had come up and taken the girls on a whale watching
 RH>> trip so we took advantage of a gorgeous fall day to get out and do
 RH>> something ourselves.
 NB>> Playing medieval was somewhat of a minor reason/plan... it was running
 NB>> while we were there for the visit, and the kids figured we might enjoy
 NB>> it, too... :)  The Faires can be quite fun...  :)  Dunno as I'd make
 NB>> it an every year sort of thing, even if the local one was closer,
 NB>> though...

 RH> They are fun for an occaisional visit but unless they change from year
 RH> to year, not worth a yearly visit. Only exception would be if you want
 RH> turkey legs without the fuss. (G)

Cheaper, and not much more fuss, to just bake them myself... ;)
 
 RH>> had I been more of a cook at that time. Don't know if Dad would have
 RH>> liked it for supper instead of his meat and potatoes but he might have
 RH>> liked it for lunch. OTOH, he would have fussed about having bought the
 RH>> legs for a supper meal, not lunch--cant' win for losing sometimes.
 NB>> Richard isn't keen on soup any time of the year... but will eat it
 NB>> year round all the same..  :)  Maybe if you'd been more of a cook
 NB>> then, you could have made the meat from the legs, such as it was, into
 NB>> something like a fricassee to serve with his potatoes...  :)

 RH> Yes, but at that time I wasn't much of a cook, let alone being
 RH> creative with my cooking. I'd do it now tho.

It can be fun sometimes to look back and think what one might have done,
had one known what one does now, though...  :)
 
 RH>> Grocery shopping is a "got to" but even that can be fun at times,
 RH>> especially if the store has some new to you items. Or, shop in a store
 RH>> you don't regularly shop in, and see what new things you can come up
 RH>> with. Try them and figure out if they're keepers or just worth the one
 RH>> time try only. We've discovered a number of new foods by my buying a
 RH>> "let's see if Steve will like this" item now and again.
 NB>> Back even before we were married, we did grocery shopping together...

 RH> We were too separated to shop together. Our last year before getting
 RH> married, he was in NC, I was in NY finishing college.
 
First we were both in Rochester, then, after a while, both in
Syracuse... the latter being the year just before we got married..  :)
 
 NB>> when we were in Syracuse, there was a meat market/grocery a little
 NB>> south of the city that we went to on a fairly regular basis... He'd
 NB>> pick up various meats that we'd not tried before and suggest that we
 NB>> try them... he was a major impetus towards creative and adventurous
 NB>> cooking for me... ;)  We don't have to go to other stores to find new
 NB>> things to try, there's plenty of that at Wegmans... ;)  We are back
 NB>> to doing the shopping together... so if something looks intriguing
 NB>> to one or the other, we can discuss it before buying... ;)

 RH> Steve will stay with me sometimes, other times he splits to other
 RH> areas of the store. I'll pick up odd items to try, occaisionally he
 RH> will as well.

Richard sometimes wanders off, but he's usually back soon enough... ;) 
To keep from being bored, he often takes "reshops" back to their proper
places...
