===================
-> -> said ".........cooks comfort food (hot dogs, toasted cheese & tomato
-> -> soup; Hafflys cook healthy; and we cook whatever we come up with on
-> -> Saturday evening."  which does pretty much describe the 3 families.
-> 
->  RH> Sounds like me on alternate days, come to that.
-> 
-> Our group is very much like a family--grandparents, siblings with
-> spouses & children, etc--with as many different cooking styles as there
-> are family units within the larger family.
-> 
Kind of like this group, except that comfort food for some of us is miso 
soup and "stuff".  

-> -> (purchased) cheesecake assortment. He's a driver for UPS, has been on
-> -> his route for quite a few years so always comes in with a lot of 
goodies
-> -> around the holidays.
-> 
->  RH> And then uses you guys to get rid of them.  Good move.
-> 
-> He appreciates the fact that he can share the goodies; helps him keep
-> his figure. (G) One older couple on his route gives him goodies thruout
-> the year so we see them from time to time as well.
-> 
Nice customers to have. Around here you're lucky to find anyone home when 
the delivery comes.
 
-> -> Have you tried cutting out the salt or using a different recipe? I'll
-> -> use the one on whatever brand of chips we have; it's ranged from
-> -> Hershey's to Nestle's to Ghiradelli over the years.
-> 
->  RH> I normally just make something else. I'm more the spice cookie type
->  RH> anyway.
-> 
-> I like the chocolate chip, without nuts. A few years ago I made Steve a
-> batch (all for him) with black walnuts--hog heaven for him.
-> 
He gets my share too; I don't mind walnuts but they're not a fave.

->  RH> No room in the kitchen and I'm not buying anything else I'm going

up
->  RH> them,
->  RH> never mind a bread machine.
-> 
-> Time to find a new home for something or put a lift in for the basement
-> stairs? The butler unit we bought has a space (in theory) for a trash
-> can; we put the bread machine in that spot. The open bottom drawer above
-> it has a basket in it (to make it useable) and my foil, plastic wrap,
-> etc go in it.

It may get to that point eventually. Or I may just stay out of the
basement.
 
-> ->  RH> Or better yet just the mustard.  Maybe hummus instead if I leave

-> 
-> -> Now it's an entirely different sandwich. (G)
-> 
->  RH> Yep. That's the beauty of sandwiches.
-> 
-> And that's why I don't have to eat peanut butter sandwiches--so many
-> other choices available. (G)

Hummus, bacon and tomato sounds like a better idea for you; I'll snag the 
bacon peanut butter.
