 RH>> I've got a number of flours to "play with" now as Steve bought a small

 NB>> Sounds like you are all set for the winter there, then...  ;)

 RH> Getting there, I still have to do the freezer defrost/inventory. It's

 RH> Tomorrow I'll be making the apple crisp and broccoli salad for the

You got your ice chests back from loan then....?  :)
 
 RH>> Yes, and now I've got a full container of crumbs. Depending on how
 RH>> fast I use them over the next few months will determine what the crusts
 RH>> from the next half dozen or so loaves of bread will be made
 RH>> into--Italian bread crumbs, croutons or something like bread pudding.
 NB>> You'll figure it out as you go along, no doubt... :)

 RH> Yes, depending on how many crusts I accumulate, how much I use the
 RH> crumbs and so on, some good use will make itself known.

And what you need leftover bread for...  ;) 
 
 RH>> It's amazing how much we are not using our garbage disposal over here
 RH>> now that we've started composting.
 NB>> I'm sure...  :)

 RH> Since I don't put bones down it, and all the fruit/veggie stuff gets

 RH> compost.

We haven't tried to do any real composting.... but then we also don't
generate a lot of kitchen scraps anyway...  ;)

 RH>>> Making a new batch as it's best made in small amounts. We sent
 RH>>> Deborah a pint jar of it when she was deployed--it went over BIG!
 NB>>> Ah, ok...  And anything to spice up rations would go over quite
 NB>>> well, I'm sure...  :)
 RH>> Yes, and she came home with a number of stories about it. (G)  Had a
 RH>> request for more but it was too close to the time they were to return
 RH>> to get more over there.
 NB>> I'm sure that some were quite disappointed by that... but glad to be
 NB>> home anyway...  ;)

 RH> Very much so. She was asked to stay on active duty, and has continued
 RH> on, doing quite well for herself. it's a bit harder with having a
 RH> family than when she was single but they're managing to keep things
 RH> running on the home front as well.

Is he also on active duty...?  Or with a civilian job...?  She has older
stepkid(s) too, doesn't she... do they help out too...? 

ttyl      neb
