Hi Dave,

 RH> We don't do Mac or Windows but found that Google Fi works for our
 RH> phones and Google is our default search engine.

 DD> I do Windows because it's a no-brainer (all puns intended). I'd have
 DD> stuck with Amiga OS had it survived. But, that was then. This is now.

Steve had to fight with Windows at work so at home he wanted something
he didn't have to fight with. He had Geoworks Ensemble at one point, as
well as Linyx (sp?) but only windows emulators as needed.


 DD> I'm shopping for a new search engine. I've been with Micro$not's BING

Hope you find something soon. Not sure how you'll get something without
a lot of pop ups tho.

 DD> NOTE TO EAVESDROPPERS - here's a link to my introdsuction to the
 DD> batata

 DD> https://westchestermagazine.com/food/what-is-batata-root-vegetable/

 DD> And then I went looking for recipes. HAH! Every one I looked at when
 DD> doing a search on "batata recipe" called for potatoes. I finally
 DD> picked one that looked interesting. If I ever make it I will find some
 DD> batta and sub it for the potatoes.  Bv)=

 RH> Go for it!

 DD> I shall.

 RH> My usual morning "go to" tea is Tetley's British Blend but about once a
 RH> week I treat myself to Good Earth's Sweet and Spicy Original. Wegman's
 RH> has a similar (but lacking some of the spices) tea like the Good Earth;
 RH> it's my fall back when I can't get the Good Earth. We've been ordering
 RH> it on line but they went thru a spell where it wasn't available; when
 RH> it came back, we ordered a 6 pack. (G)

 DD> I have some Tetley Brit Blend on hand. I'll have to look for the "Good
 DD> Earth" stuff. Hmmmmmm, I wonder if Food Fantasies might stock it.
 DD> They're my local health/natural foods & supplements stor.

 RH> Might be worth a try. We've found it in Harris Teeter and occaisonally
 RH> (while travelling) in other grocery stores. The easiest way to get it
 RH> tho (for us) is to order it on line. There are several varients of it,
 RH> including a chai, but I like the sweet and spicy original (with
 RH> caffiene) the best.

 DD> Food Fantasies stocks it. I bought a trial sample of the basic blend -
 DD> which will get a try-out this week-end.

The Sweet & Spicy Original? AFAIK, that's their basic. A friend back in
AZ gave me a few bags to try; got me hooked on it. (G)


 DD> Got over-served last night. Dennis' middle son is staying with us for
 DD> a few days and just as I was thinking about falling into the shucks &
 DD> pulling the covers up for the evening he presented me with a BIG (one
 DD> pound at least) rib-eye steak cooked medium-rare and sided with some
 DD> store bought macaroni salad. Managed to get myself wrapped around the
 DD> steak but Jasper and Isabel (the mutts) got to clean up about half of
 DD> the pasta salad.

Burp! Sounds like a good meal. We had beef on 'weck, rolls and beef both
found at Wegman's. Had a mixed greens w/apple, craisins and walnuts to
go with it--found that one at Sam's in their bagged salad section. We've
found some good ones there.

Catch you later,
