 NB>> My turn to be out of contact for a few days... been dealing with a

 RH> And I can't even call you a dizzy blonde. (G) Sounds like you're on
 RH> the mend tho.

Somewhat... still partially there... slow recovery, and still don't know
for sure what is or isn't causing it... possibly a combination of
factors...  sigh...

 RH> Mom was brought down to the hospital Tuesday afternoon. She knows (and

 RH> a good thing; were it any of us kids, she might not be as mindful.

A few more lasting strings attaching there probably help the fading
memory... Good that they could be together again even for just the
visit. 
 
 RH>> He shouldn't stay home alone but we're not sure what to do now as

 NB>> Maybe this will push him a bit more to consider the thought of joining
 NB>> your mom in the nursing home, so that they can be together and also
 NB>> get the care they need...?

 RH> We don't know, the finances of that have to be considered. Mom is also

 RH> be on another floor.

They might make some adjustments to keep them together if it seems that
it would be helpful for their care...  Finances are always a worry
there, but sometimes that's the least of the worries...
 
 RH> Yes, sometimes I mention when I am served (and see the size of the

Helps to be able to gauge your capacity... before getting TOO full.. ;) 
I know I'd rather bring home some for another meal than be overstuffed,
usually... buffets can be harder to gauge, and they don't let you take
home leftovers...

 RH>> And there seems to be no end to the market, even with the younger
 RH>> generations not doing as much home cooking as their elders do/did.
 NB>> After all, the restaurants still serve veal...

 RH> And some folks still buy/cook it at home.

Which is why one can still find it on offer at the grocery store.  :)
I have to admit that I was tempted a little by the veal liver the other
day, but the timing was wrong for being able to use it soon enough, and
didn't want to freeze it. 
 
 RH> It was good; his "birthday cake" (pumpkin roll) was made this week.

Ah... that's why it got made right away...  :)
