Hi Dave,

 RH> Sounds like she made the better choice in the long run.

 DD> Especially since the degree was going to apply toher work - and if she
 DD> was prevented from thaat work ........

 RH> I dropped plans to work on a Master's (Special Ed, Hearing Impaired)
 RH> when we started a family. Never got into it but life has taken other
 RH> directions.

 DD> I sorta, kinda lucke into a Master's at the local university. The dean
 DD> of students had been after me for some time to take a C.L.E.P. test to
 DD> see where I'd land (College Level Entrance Preparedness). And I kept
 DD> putting him off. Then one fine afternoon he showed up at the perpetual
 DD> pinochle game in the student union and informed me that he had paid my
 DD> registratopn for the following wek end.

 DD> It was kind of neat. I took their batery of tests, audited on
 DD> post-grad level course and wrote a nice papaer. Prest-Change-O,Bob's
 DD> your uncle.
 DD> I had a Master's in Public Affairs Reporting.

Would that all degrees were so easy. I got a diploma in Women's Studies
a few years ago. It had been a long time since I got my Bachelor's
degree (Sociology with minors in Psychology and Art) so I really had to
work at it. Finished 13 courses with 10 A's and 3 A+'s tho.

 DD> Ground chicken is very versatile ......

 RH> I used to buy a lot of ground turkey but go with more ground beef now.
 RH> Probably should go back to at least some turkey.

 DD> Me and Jennie-O have been good friends in past times. Not so much any
 DD> more. It's a lot more common to see ground turkey in the meat counters
 DD> at the stupormarkup than ground chicken.

 RH> Agreed, but still seeing enough chicken that I have to be careful to
 RH> grab the right package.

 DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

 DD>       Title: Slow Cooker Chicken Chile Verde (Temple)
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Citrus, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 7 Servings

 DD>       2 lb Tomatillos; husked, washed,
 DD>            - dried, halved
 DD>      10 md Anaheim chilies; stemmed,
 DD>            - halved, seeded
 DD>       1    Jalapeno chile
 DD>       1 c  Diced onion
 DD>       4 cl Garlic
 DD>       2 c  Rough chopped cilantro
 DD>       1 tb Cumin
 DD>       1 ts Paprika
 DD>            Zest and juice of 1 lime
 DD>     1/2 ts Sugar
 DD>     1/2 ts Salt
 DD>     1/2 ts Black pepper
 DD>       2 c  Chicken broth
 DD>       2 lb Chicken; skinned, boned
 DD>            +=OR=+
 DD>       2 lb Ground chicken or turkey

Sounds good if I leave the cilantro out or cut it to a bare minimum. We
had supper in our favorite (while we were stationed at Fort Huachuca)
Mexican place when we were in the area. Just as good as ever--and they
brought some fried flour tortilla chips for Steve when he told them he
couldn't eat corn.
