Hi Dale,


 DS> We've got four stools that could be used.  All of them fold up. Two of
 DS> them we got on the web, one is 12 inch and the other is 18 inch.  Then

 RH> I think both of my small ones are 12 inches. I bought one at the
 RH> Wegman's in your area. That one is kept in the sewing room; the other
 RH> is in the kitchen, with the 2 step stool.

 RH> I've grabbed the kitchen step stools to use as a seat when going thru
 RH> the lower pantry shelves. Only problem with the smaller one is that
 RH> I'm sitting so low and there's no side rail to grab, getting up can be
 RH> a bit of a challenge some days.

 DS> I hear you.  We don't have side rails in the kitchen, but I am quite
 DS> grateful that we have multiple side rails in the bathrooms.

The side rail is on the step stool. We also have a step ladder outside
that can be used for even more higher reaches but I generally leave that
for Steve.

 DS>       Title: Macaroni Salad (new)
 DS>  Categories: D/g, Boat, Pasta, Salads
 DS>       Yield: 4 Generously

 RH> From the looks of it, it would probably feed 6-8 comfortably.

 DS> The default for MM is 4, but we added the generously.  The intended
 DS> audience for our recipes with the category "boat" is young students on
 DS> the environmental training ship (Lady Maryland) that Bryan was on as
 DS> the galley cook.

Working on a boat can work up an appetite, and young folks tend to have
a hefty one anyway. When we had teens in our small group at church, I'd
figure on about 2 dozen servings for 18 people. We're down to one teen
and half a dozen adults so I figure on cooking for 8-10 people.
Sometimes I have left overs, sometimes I don't.

 DS> This looks like  it would serve four better than two, even given
 only DS> 3/4 pound of protein.

Most Asian meals use a minimal amount of protein. I thought I'd not had
a lot of protein yesterday but adding it all up, I had a fair amount.
Had a ham biscuit and yogurt for breakfast today so that was a healthy
amount of protein to start the day.
