 RH>>> I did, when we went up for Dad's services. My brother asked me
 RH>>> to make some ziti so I had to cut up an onion with what was
 RH>>> available. I found a knife that did a passable job, but still
 RH>>> not the quality of my knives.
 NB>>> At least there was one that was passable...  
 RH>> Barely, but better than none.
 NB>> Maybe you should plan to take one of yours with you just in
 NB>> case, if there's a next time... 

 RH> We'll see what the circumstances are. If we can bring the camper,
 RH> we'll have good knives with us. It's a rather complete kitchen, as you
 RH> will see.
 
Actually, I think I have seen.... 

 RH>>>> That's generally the first thing I do when I go into the
 RH>>>> kitchen in the morning. Get the tea going so it's ready
 RH>>>> whenever I'm ready for it.
 NB>>>> That works...  
 RH>>> It's become routine now. If I get wrapped up in something else
 RH>>> and it cools too much, I can reheat it. If it's too hot, I can
 RH>>> add an ice crescent. (G) Mostly, tho, it's just right.
 NB>>> Got it down to a science, I see...
 RH>> Basically so. I don't mind the smell of coffee, just can't take
 RH>> the taste of it so will enjoy my tea in the morning instead.
 NB>> Keeps everybody happy...    Around our house, it's generally
 NB>> milk instead of coffee or tea.... 

 RH> Steve is lactose intolerant; I gave up drinking milk some years ago so
 RH> we don't keep the regular stuff on hand. He'll have almond milk on his
 RH> cereal and I use the dry in baking. I'll mix some of the regular up in
 RH> small amounts, as needed, for cooking also.

Meanwhile, neither of us is lactose intolerant, thankfully.... and I'm
coffee-intolerant....
