Patis.  That would be what he missed.  Tiparos brand is what he needed for
that recipe.

BTW, I'm catching up a bit on messages.  Kinda got behind in several message
areas, this being one of them.  I started my new job on 13 April and just got
back from a week training at Pensacola.  I'll be struggling for about 6
months with SQL and 'which table has what data' in this HUGE NTMPS/FLTMPS
datamart, but thats ok.  Big Boss pulled me in for a one on one as I was
ready to leave and said He's happy they found me.  As one of the outlaying
support folks, I have to be more functional on my own than the others, and
faster than they get so they (and I) were understandably concerned.

Seems once we got into it, I'd forgotten more than they thought I'd ever
learned and it started coming back so fast, I was catching their mistakes in
a few spots by the 3rd day. (Oh, why didnt that work?  Answer, see, forgot to
missed a ( ) set.)  They gave me SQL access and i wrote a
simple query in 3 mins to check 3 courses for completetion by name for
military and GS's with a prompt for the UIC needed.  At least my *impression*
was my skills were higher than they thought they would be and they were
happy.  If not, I doubt they would have skipped the SQL writing section with
me and set me off to work one on one with the 2 main guys I feed the insert
data statements to.

Gosh I love this job!  Having a ball with it!
