Hi Shawn,

 RH> Time was, and not so long ago, that I'd never consider such a thing.
 RH> But, the older I get, the more I'm trying things like this.

 SH> I just want easy to prepair things for after work when I really don't
 SH> want to do much.

I don't work outside the home but when I'm not feeling good or working
on a big project, I don't want to fuss a lot with meals. Also, in the
summer I'd rather cook/eat lighter than I do in the winter.


 Kristina made butter chicken last night and brought
 SH> some up for us, so I just made a bit of rice to put under it and it
 SH> was quite good.  She's getting good!

That sounds good! There used to be an Indian restaurant not too far from
us down in Raleigh but they either moved or closed & we've not yet found
a replacement.


 RH> tackle the baby quilt this week, promised a friend I'd teach her to sew
 RH> in a couple of weeks.

 SH> That's nice of you.  I /almost/ remember how from grade 7 home ec.  I
 SH> could do it in a pinch and it wouldn't be pretty.

I had it in 8th grade home ec, almost failed it. There was only one
store in our town that sold fabric; my mom bought some that would fray
if you looked at it cross eyed. I didn't finish my project, got a bare
minimum passing grade. Before and after that, I've been a hand sewer,
started playing around with a machine in college. Got one for a wedding
present and took off from there.
