 NB>> Quite true...  :)  Not sure whether or not the weather you were having
 NB>> in WY got this far.. or if it did bypass us...  We haven't had

 RH> Be glad; it was nasty cold. Night time temps in the single digits and
 RH> wind chill (there was a lot [!] of wind) well below 0. The camper was
 RH> nice & snug tho.

Oh, I am glad... and good that you stayed nice and snug in the camper... 
this weekend, though, we did have the single digits and subzero wind
chills.... with a little snow.... 
 
 NB>> anything all that significant... but did get some rain and a little
 NB>> freezing rain before Christmas... fortunately for hopes for a white
 NB>> Christmas, not all the snow was gone thereby, although most was
 NB>> gone by Monday.... we've had dustings since, but there's an
 NB>> advisory for lake effect snow starting probably tonight into
 NB>> tomorrow....

 RH> We had a white Christmas in Utah. (G)

Ours was white enough... ;)

 RH>>> Time, and low stress cooking projects will take care of it.
 NB>>> And eventually you'll be pretty much back to what you normally
 NB>>> could be doing... ;)
 RH>> Eventually, but it seems like I've been out of commission much
 RH>> longer than I actually have.
 NB>> One gets impatient with the healing... and it's hard to keep
 NB>> perspective...

 RH> I know, but I'll probably be putting the arm to the kneading/dough
 RH> shaping test in a couple of weeks or so.
 
Just be careful...  :)

 RH>>> rising. It's only a few minutes work but I do a good job of
 RH>>> punching it. (G)
 NB>>> And enough to still be a potential problem....  :)
 RH>> True, so caution is the operative word there. The bread will taste
 RH>> good tho, better than a lot of what we've gotten in the stores.
 NB>> Indeed...  :)   Nothing like home-baked bread.... :)

 RH> German bakeries did a decent job; we bought bread from them quite
 RH> often. I never bought any at the supermarket in Berlin.

True, fresh-baked bakery bread caan come close...  ;)

ttyl       neb
