Hi Dave,

 DD> Is that hurricane now beating the snot out of Jamaica predicted to hit
 DD> your area? Or will you just get the "fallout" from it?

Right now most of the spaghetti plots (NOOA tracking lines) have it
headed straight west, a few of them have it taking a curve to the
northeast. If it holds to the westward plotting, we will not be affected
but if it takes the bend to the northeast, we may get some rain and rip
currents along the coast. We'll know better by this time next week.



 DD>      8<----- SHORTEN ----->8

 DD> Here y'go all Meal Monstered. You note using less water to thicken the
 DD> dressing. And you mention that some use cream in place of water. Would
 DD> Half & Half or cream  not make a thicker sauce rather than cutting the
 DD> iquid by a half cup?

 RH> I don't know, we have always used water. Don't usually have cream on
 RH> hand; it was a suggestion in the cook book. Next time we make it (with
 RH> reduced water) I'll let you know how it turns out.

 DD> I'll be making this before too long. Thanks

 RH> Enjoy it; we got more leaf lettuce at the farmer's market so we can
 RH> have it again this week.


 DD> ... I'm not a know-it-all, I just Google faster than you

 RH> How true these days. Steve was wondering about something the other day,
 RH> as he was thinking out loud, I did a quick Google search and gave him
 RH> his answer. (G)

 DD> I don't use Google for a number of reasons. I have used Bing
 DD> (Microsoft's search engine) since I found it. Less overt advertising
 DD> and biased "results" And the "sponsored" results are labelled. Now if
 DD> I could just get rid of the AI Bot ("Copilot") that they've intruded
 DD> into my searches ........

I've always used Google; that's what Steve has put on my computer. (G)

As long as the power stays on, this will work for cooking in a
hurricane. Unfortunatly, power is usually one of the first things to go
so a slow cooker can't be used. If that were the case, I'd use the
propane oven in the camper or one of our grills (have both propane and
charcoal). (G)
