Subj : Chicken Salad To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Mon Jun 26 2023 20:02:42 Hi Dave, RH> We have several compost bins in the back of the house. When we bought RH> the place, the front yard was more weeds and poor quality dirt than RH> anything else. Steve started composting the next spring; now we've got RH> grass and clover. DD> Shortly before I bought my little house the D.O.T. widened the parkway DD> and installed nice sidewalks ... at the expense of part of my lawn. DD> The contractor re-seeded the parts they had laid waste to which a VERY DD> lowest common denominator seed mixture containing timothy and several DD> other DD> varieties seen growing in medians and roadsides. I tilled it all up DD> and planted bluegrass and white clover. Currently I'm consideried DD> going to zoysia grass mixed with mint. Whoever established our front yard dumped a lot of cheap fill dirt on it. Steve has found a good number of pieces of broken glass, don't know how many golf balls and other assorted junk in it, especially in the first few years we lived here. DD> My Grandfather told me as a young guy to always follow the Shakespeare DD> quote from Ham;et "To thine own self be true" and I'd not go wrong. DD> I've lived by that for the most part. and treat people as I'd like to DD> be treated. RH> Understandable. Since we've been R-Ving, we've found that W-M is RH> usually pretty good about letting us boondock overnight. Found one in RH> Nebraska that had a dedicated truck and RV lot, others have areas well RH> away from the general flow of traffic. No matter where we park, we RH> always stay out of the main traffic areas and always make at least a RH> minimal purchase to "pay our rent". DD> I'd have to find a shopping centre or a Cracker Barrel - where "paying DD> the lot rent would be a lot more enjoyable. Bv)= We've stayed at Cracker Barrel, also Flying J and Pilot truck stops. Down side to the truck stops is that the trucks are in and out all night plus they play music outside all night. Not condusive to a good night's sleep. Cracker Barrel usually has an RV lot out back, "fun" part there is the POV's that think it's also parking for them. The R-Pod and truck took up just 2 spaces front to back; the ew set up will take a bit more. RH> I'm not sure what the population of WF is but Wegman's draws in RH> customers from a wide area. More are being built in the area but none RH> close enough to draw customers from our store; others are west, south, RH> east of Raleigh. When the Raleigh store opened, they had the largest RH> number of customers to ever go thru a store on opening day. They also RH> had to have Raleigh police at the exits off the Beltline to control the RH> traffic flow. DD> Nice to be popular, innit? RH> Yes, we're about the same size as the Raleigh store but they were the RH> first one in NC. We were about the 3rd, been open for 2 years now. It's RH> open from 6 am to 12 pm, always a good bit of traffic in the parking RH> lot, no matter what time of day/night. It's very convenient to us so we RH> can run over if I've forgotten an ingredient or we can stop on the way RH> home and pick up some ice cream for a bedtime snack (G) after a night RH> trip to Raleigh. DD> I scream is good even when it's not bedtime for Bonzo. It's good most any time of the day or night. DD> This is the first I scream I made in my new *motorised* ice cream DD> maker. Actually an attachment for my Kitchen Aid. We have a separate ice cream maker, haven't used it in a while. Probably ought to look into the KA attachment as we've got the machine. DD> Title: Peach Ice Cream DD> Categories: I scream, Dairy, Fruits DD> Yield: 7 servings Just the right time of year for it but I understand that the GA crop will be much smaller this year due to weather conditions in the spring. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
