 NB>> So the new gadget gives you a medium size rice cooker/crockpot, a
 NB>> useful size for much of your cooking...  :)

 RH> Very much so. Steve used it to make rice the other night as I was
 RH> working on the rest of supper.

Have you tried it yet with other than your basic brown rice...?
 
 RH>> We used the pressure cooker function yesterday to cook the pumpkin
 RH>> we got at the farmer's market (forgot to mention in previous message's
 RH>> listing). 2, about 2 cup containers of pumpkin now in the freezer.
 NB>> Good provision... a couple of pie's worth, or maybe for a soup...

 RH> We'll see, in time. Got a pie pumpkin, it's also cooked and stowed so
 RH> we've got 5 more cups of pumpkin to use.

That gives you plenty to play with... ;)   Pumpkin bread, or cookies, or
muffins, maybe... ;) 
 
 RH>>> Depends on how much room we have as I want to move the freezer
 RH>>> out there too. Once we start talking with an architect, we'll
 RH>>> have a better idea of the room available.
 NB>>> True enough... ;)
 RH>> Probably not til early next year tho.
 NB>> Makes sense...

 RH> Time, and money. Running out of time this year, and can save the money
 RH> for a bit longer.
 
Indeed... ;)

 NB>>> Worth checking out... they might not charge a premium, might
 NB>>> just see it as a way to give a group a little more privacy...
 RH>> From what my neighbor said, I got the impression they do charge,
 RH>> and not a low price either.
 NB>> Best way to find out would be to ask Angus Barn directly, I'd
 NB>> think... ;)

 RH> I will, if we think we want to go with that as a group event.

I'd be inclined to check it out unless I was sure it wouldn't be an
option at all... ;)  If it's totally unreasonable, that would take it
right off the list, anyway...  ;)  Did your neighbor actually have an
event there...? 
 
 RH>> WHOOPS! We didn't do any recording except pictures.
 NB>> We had pictures, too...  :)

 RH> Our hired photographer's pictures didn't come out but we've got a lot
 RH> from other sources. My aunt also shot a movie, IIRC.
 
Our photogragher was a friend from college... somehow, he managed to
lock all his good cameras into his trunk along, I think, with the key...
so he took all the pictures with the one he'd intended to use only for
the candids... and was so contrite about it he didn't charge us much if
at all for the pictures...  They still were nice pictures... he's a good
photographer... He, btw, was the friend who made the good, nay,
excellent coffee that exposed my coffee allergy... ;)

 NB>> Interesting that the kitchen uses cider, but the bottled version is
 NB>> simply vinegar...  I've been experimenting with having things that
 NB>> use cider vinegar, in the hopes that it might be safe after all...
 NB>> so far, no reaction, but I've not gone overboard on anything... just
 NB>> discovered that something we've been eating does have cider vinegar
 NB>> in it, along with red wine vinegar and regular vinegar... maybe it's
 NB>> just a small enough quantity not to trigger, or maybe there's hope
 NB>> for using cider vinegar after all... ;)

 RH> Let's hope so; it would be nice if you could tolerate it enough to
 RH> enjoy things made with it. At least we now know what kind Brook's
 RH> uses for their chicken.

At least in their kitchen... it might be dumbed down for bottling...  I
did eat a full portion of the ones made with the Brooks bottled
marinade at the picnic without repercussions...  But I avoided the
chicken once the two halves had been combined into one...
 
 NB>>>> So, I looked it up... Emerald is 55... :)
 RH>>> OK, so I've got to wait 15 more years for that one.
 NB>>> Yup...  Maybe by then, there'll BE a Green Lobster chain...  (G)
 RH>> I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.
 NB>> I wouldn't either... but one just never knows...  (G)

 RH> There might be something just as far out, time will tell.

Indeed.  :)
