Hi Shawn,


 RH> Forgot, add a bit of sugar, if you want, to taste. IIRC, I used one
 RH> packet of stevia, sweetness equal to two teaspoons of sugar. Plenty
 RH> sweet enough for us.

 SH> Sounds good.  I'll stick with sugar though, the processed sweet stuff
 SH> gives me a headache.  Even Stevia.

OK, I use stevia for some things, raw sugar for others. I try to avoid
the other sugar substitutes as they are all artificial, do sometimes use
honey or molasses in baking.


 RH> I don't have that problem as our kids and grand kids are in Utah and
 RH> Arizona. (G)

 SH> Laugh, I'm sure my kids would find a way to show up if they were that
 SH> far apart.  Anything to not have to cook. hahahaha

Our girls are both pretty decent cooks, and knew how to cook before
leaving home. Rachel did call me fairly often for recipies but I think
part of it was a bit of homesickness--she moved from Arizona to
Mississippi after getting married.


 RH> Either he was extra hungry or something in it tasted so good he
 RH> wanted more...and more....and more. (G)

 SH> He says my soups were one of the things he missed when he was
 SH> living in Hamilton.  Even my daughter (who lives 3 floors down) can
 SH> smell when I'm cooking soup and magically visits. hahaha

Most of my soups are a bit of this, a touch of that and oh yes, need to
use this before it goes bad so into the soup pot. Years (actually, now
decades) ago I made a chicken vegetable soup using a bag of chicken
necks and, IIRC, about a dozen different odds and ends of vegetables,
plus probably brown rice. It was a good "clean out the fridge" soup and
tasted good as well. (G)

 RH> get some green beans, a tomato (Steve doesn't eat many of them so
 one

 SH> Andrea doesn't like them very much either so I buy normally two at a
 SH> time as her dad will have a slice or two.

We don't have any other family nearby so I get the whole thing, unless
Steve decides to have a paper thin slice or two.


 RH> is sufficient), a sopapilla cheesecake bar and a slice of NY style
 RH> cheesecake. Also spent some time just talking with a friend.

 SH> Yum.

They were. (G)


 RH> another CT scan in February to see how much things have changed since
 RH> had done in August.

 SH> Fingers crossed for you.

I'll let you know the results when I get them.

 RH> Interesting, I never would have thought about using garlic powder,
 RH> black pepper and paprika. My mom used to use just a bit of sugar and
 RH> celery seed, plus slightly diluted vinegar, but she was never noted
 RH> for her creativity in cooking.

 SH> The guy who gave me the recipe (Gabe we call him, but his name is
 SH> Gabor) started cooking up a storm so I"m getting some Hungarian
 SH> recipes from him while he's still in the mood to write them down. :)

Any relation to the late Gabor sisters (Eva, Magda and Zsa Zsa)? Get the
recipies while you can and think of him when you make them.
