Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> forecast still calls for snow tomorrow... but probably not
 NB>  NB>> much... I'm still guessing that March will be back to winter...

 RH> We went back down to normal temps--50s--overnight. It'll warm up to
 RH> almost 80 by Wed, but then go back down for a few days. Still no snow
 RH> tho.

 NB> Rollercoaster weather.... we're having that, too... had a couple of
 NB> dustings, and then overnight last night, we got a couple inches...
 NB> cold this weekend, but then warming up first part of the week, and
 NB> then
 NB> colder again...

We got down to the low 20s yesterday morning, I think just below
freezing this morning. Days have been in the low 50s, not enough
moisture in the air for any precipitation tho. I think it'll be in the
low/mid 60s this week. Strawberry & peach farmers are having to cover up
blossoms/early fruit.

 NB>  RH>>> There really wasn't a lot of fat on the piece of beef to cut
 NB>  RH>>> off. Next time I think I'll go with a well marbled chuck roast
 NB>  RH>>> or similar.
 NB>  NB>>> Yeah, that would probably've stayed moister....  :)
 NB>  RH>> Next time........................
 NB>  NB>> As long as you remember...  ;)

 RH> And hopefully that time won't be on the front end of health issues. I
 RH> was brain fogged while doing some of the cooking for a few days--makes
 RH> me glad Steve can take over in times like that.

 NB> That is indeed a blessing..  :)  I had a root canal done on Monday...
 NB> by the time the numbness wore off, I didn't feel like cooking, so we
 NB> went
 NB> to Fu's for soft food...  I had sakedon (a bowl of rice with fresh
 NB> salmon atop) along with the miso soup (figured it would help the
 NB> healing), and of course the salad with Fu's dressing (which wasn't too
 NB> hard to eat, either)... we also shared a small (hot) sake, which took
 NB> the edge off of things nicely... Richard picked up the tab... ;)

Soft foods go down easy in a hurting mouth. I remember when I had my
wisdom teeth pulled--got home from the hospital (had been done under a
general as they were all impacted) and Steve opened a can of vegetable
soup for lunch. The vegetables felt rather hard, even tho they'd been
cooked to mush. Good thought but probably would have done better with
just broth.

 NB>  RH>> when I was still feeling pretty lousy. Food tasted good tho,
 NB>  RH>> and had enough for 2 meals.
 NB>  NB>> Sounds like yours is one of the better ones...  :)

 RH> We've liked them from the time they opened up. Looking around, I've
 RH> seen at least one other in town but we've not tried them out. They're
 RH> (now) closer, used to be, the other one was closer to where we lived. I
 RH> guess we keep going back to the one because we know it's good.

 NB> We tend to do the same thing....  once in a while, especially if with
 NB> the impetus of someone else that likes the other place, we'll check
 NB> out other, similar, places....  :)

When you know good, you tend to stick with it. Especially food. (G)
