 RH>> northeast. We're supposed to have days in the 40s/low 50s and a few
 RH>> more nights in the mid/low 20s this week--January weather in March!
 NB>> And we had March weather in February.... go figure... 

 RH> We have had a few cooler (actually, normal) days but Tuesday had a
 RH> high of 82.

Ours hasn't been quite that variable.... but it has been a bit up and
down still...  Now it looks like we'll have a somewhat steady climb into
proper spring.... March does seem to be going out like a lamb, after
coming in like a lion....  :)

 RH> A lot of farmers have lost significant crops because we had a
 RH> couple of nights below freezing this week. Strawberries,
 RH> blueberries and peaches have been hit hard.

I haven't heard much about that locally... perhaps our false spring
didn't fool too many of the trees.....

 NB>> before I went out for my appointment....  Since then we've had light
 NB>> dustings of snow, but nothing major.... and temps have been all over
 NB>> the place.... got up to 50 yesterday, today it's highs in the 30s, I
 NB>> think, and lows tonight in the teens.... and then climbing back for
 NB>> the weekend....

 RH> If you don't like the weather...........................
 
Something like that.....  ;) 

 NB>>> to push the issue.... I think mushy vegetables wouldn't have
 NB>>> been a problem for me that night.... I was ok even with the
 NB>>> slice of cucumber...  :)
 RH>> Sounds like you did Ok. I had all 4 teeth taken at once, they
 RH>> had to be cut out. It was done in early December, took me until
 RH>> late January to be able to eat everything without hurting. No
 RH>> Fu's in the area at the time.
 NB>> Ouch... your experience was definitely worse than mine....
 NB>> Admittedly, I think I did get off pretty easy... I had friends
 NB>> here expecting me to still need soft comforting foods by the
 NB>> end of the week... :)  My friend Deb suggested we go out for
 NB>> congee on Friday... which we did, as I quite like congee at
 NB>> any time, and it's not all that available... But she was
 NB>> thinking in terms of my not being up to anything chewier... (G)
 NB>> We had the congee, and then also shared some other fare at the
 NB>> White Swans Asian Caffe.... :)

 RH> Good thing that your dental work went well--you were able to enjoy the
 RH> congee and extras. As I recall, it took me some days before I felt
 RH> like eating much, even soft things. Harder foods took even longer.
 
But then your teeth were pulled... my one tooth only got a root
canal...... ;)

 RH>>> When you know good, you tend to stick with it. Especially food.
 NB>>> But of course... ;)
 RH>> But, it's also fun to try new places from time to time. I was
 RH>> debating getting the beef bulgogi at the Korean place the other
 RH>> day but went with another, tho less often ordered, spicy pork
 RH>> instead. It was good. (G)
 NB>> Yup, sometimes one goes with the favorite, sometimes one tries
 NB>> something new on the menu... or a less-often picked choice....
 NB>> One can get quite the long list of favorites that way, though...
 NB>> especially at favorite places...  ;)

 RH> The hard part of that is deciding which favorite to have. (G)

Exactly...   :)
