Hi Nancy,

 RH> Now I'm just trying to keep caught up on a day to day or every other
 RH> day basis.

 NB> And I'm working on a backlog that got to be over a week's worth...
 NB> Only one more week before Lydia gets home, and then maybe I can be on
 NB> a more reasonable schedule...  ;)  And have more days where I can sit
 NB> and work on the backlog, like today... ;)

We all understand around here--life gets in the way of the computer
sometimes. Other times, the computer gets in the way of life. (G)

 NB> above  RH>> freezing.
 NB>  NB>> Yeah, we've been having colder temps here, too...  :)

 RH> We're warming up to the low 50s this week end but back down to the 30s
 RH> early next week. Not having the snow that we saw western NY got tho.

 NB> Meanwhile, we had a slight warmup, too... and today the temps are back
 NB> in the teens... and a lake effect snow warning that is currently in
 NB> effect and supposed to continue til tomorrow evening... so far, not a
 NB> lot of snow where we are, but I know that closer to the lake has been
 NB> getting more of it... :)  Hopefully it will taper off in time for my
 NB> needful travels tomorrow...

Hopefully so. We had snow Sunday morning, and more is predicted for
Friday.

 NB>  NB>>> We had a spicy noodle dish today at the new Malaysian place...
 NB>  RH>> Sounds yummy.
 NB>  NB>> 'Twas... :)  Another place that, should we have extra time with
 NB> you  NB>> sometime, you might want to try...  :)

 RH> I usually ask about the heat level to try and get an idea of what to
 RH> expect. Then too, each place seems to have a different definition of
 RH> hot than the next one. (G)

 NB> For sure.  :)

You also have to know if it's an Asian heat or Southwestern as they are
quite different from each other. Usually there's no problem in telling
them apart but sometimes.......................


 NB>  RH>> Rachel made chicken paprikash with home made spaezle for
 NB> Christmas  RH>> eve. It was good but we ate late (went to a light
 NB> show).
 NB>  NB>> That sounds like fun... :)  and good food, too... :)

 RH> The meal was better than the show. The show was a lot of static
 RH> displays.

 NB> Oh, well.... :)  At least you ate well.. :)

Quite well, then and the next day.

 NB>  RH>> Nice to change things up every so often.
 NB>  NB>> They certainly didn't mind... :)

 RH> Did they have a busy week end?

 NB> Apparently not as busy as some weekends... We did eat there for
 NB> Christmas Day, but the normal Friday night traffic I guess wasn't
 NB> there, since it was the holiday... Fu was just as glad to be at the
 NB> restaurant, as otherwise, he'd've been expected to do the honors for
 NB> extended
 NB> family, and this was more what he wanted to be doing... ;)

Got a professional cook in the family--put him (or her) to work cooking
for family gatherings. Not always the best idea.

 NB>  NB>> Yeah, I know... once you've had Fu's, there's a benchmark that
 NB> no one  NB>> else quite seems to meet... ;)  I know there are decent
 NB> sushi places  NB>> in the Phoenix Valley, we've had the opportunity to
 NB> try some, while  NB>> the kid still lived out there...

 RH> This was probably ok for grocery store sushi but as you say, we've had
 RH> much better. I don't know if Deborah is into sushi or not--have to ask
 RH> her--we might make a trip to one of the places some time.

 NB> She might be game to try it...  ;)

Maybe; I know her sister has, and likes it. I suspect Deborah has tried
it as well, just don't know for sure.


 NB>  NB>>>> Might be better to send to Richard, same as mine except
 NB>  NB>>>> rjbackus instead of backus...  ;)  He can handle the bigger
 NB>  NB>>>> emails a lot easier... :)
 NB>  RH>>> OK, I'll make sure he knows to send the pictures to Richard.
 NB>  (snip)
 NB>  NB>>> You were pretty busy back then on getting ready for your
 NB> trip...  NB>>> and since then, being on the trip.... after all...  ;)
 NB>  RH>> Yes, and now we're home, getting caught up on any & every thing.
 NB>  NB>> Eventually...  :)

 RH> I'll try to remember to make sure I let Steve know he needs to do
 RH> that.

 NB> OK.   :)

If he sees this, he will be reminded. (G)
