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

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

And we've been back into the single digits for lows.... long-range,
highest highs look to be in the 40s for a while... and there's that
major snowstorm heading our way at the moment... At least we've got our
power back, and heat.... :)

 NB>>>> Yeah, that would probably've stayed moister....  :)
 RH>>> Next time........................
 NB>>> As long as you remember...  ;)
 RH>> And hopefully that time won't be on the front end of health
 RH>> issues. I was brain fogged while doing some of the cooking for a
 RH>> few days--makes me glad Steve can take over in times like that.
 NB>> That is indeed a blessing..  :)  I had a root canal done on
 NB>> Monday... by the time the numbness wore off, I didn't feel like
 NB>> cooking, so we went to Fu's for soft food...  I had sakedon (a
 NB>> bowl of rice with fresh salmon atop) along with the miso soup
 NB>> (figured it would help the healing), and of course the salad with
 NB>> Fu's dressing (which wasn't too hard to eat, either)... we also
 NB>> shared a small (hot) sake, which took the edge off of things
 NB>> nicely... Richard picked up the tab... ;)

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

Fortunately I didn't really have much pain.... just didn't want to push
the issue.... I think mushy vegetables wouldn't have been a problem for
me that night.... I was ok even with the slice of cucumber...  :)

 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....  :)

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

But of course... ;)
