Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Tough decision to make but it sounds like the yogurt one has a
 NB>  RH>> slight edge over the other one.
 NB>  NB>> Yup.    At least for now... 

 RH> Tastes suject to change over time?

 NB> Always that chance.... 

With some things, others, not so likely.

 NB>  RH>> My mom did liver in the fry pan, coated the stuff with flour,
 NB>  RH>> salt & pepper. Then she'd fry up 7 strips of bacon--we all got
 NB>  RH>> one--for the fat to cook the liver in. I don't remember if she

 NB>  RH>> taste if we did have it.
 NB>  NB>> We didn't have it with ketchup... nor with bacon... Bacon was
 NB>  NB>> more of a luxury around our house....

 RH> It was a treat for us too. Had BLTs in the summer but only one strip
 RH> of bacon per sandwich. Mom always got the cheap stuff with a lot of fat
 RH> so by the time it was cooked, it had shriveled quite a bit.

 NB> That's not much bacon per sandwich... I suppose the L and T were fresh
 NB> from the garden....?

Correct. Dad never could get the bacon to grow successfully. (G)

 NB>  RH>> including all the normal turkey sides. She also did ham for
 NB> Sunday  RH>> dinner off and on, on an irregular basis so it really
 NB> wasn't a
 NB>  RH>> treat for Christmas.
 NB>  NB>> We never did goose...   Turkey was mostly for large family get
 NB>  NB>> togethers, we also did it for Christmas sometimes...

 RH> Goose is the traditional Christmas dinner in Germany. It's not as
 RH> meaty as turkey so we didn't have umpteen days of left overs.

 NB> We didn't have all that much leftover... especially if we had extra
 NB> family around.... 

 NB>  NB>> I'm thinking ham was somewhat special in our house, but not
 NB> saved  NB>> for particular holidays, just not had very often...

 RH> Ham was one thing that my mom could do reasonably well--she just
 RH> studded it with cloves. No brown sugar glaze or pineapple rings but
 RH> still tasted good. She never made ham gravy either--had that for the
 RH> first time at a friend's house while in college.

 NB> Never had ham gravy... We did the studding with cloves, and generally
 NB> the pineapple, sometimes the rings, sometimes crushed pineapple....

It's easy enough to do---and beats plain mashed potatoes which was the
usual side (also some other vegetable, but always the plain potatoes)
with it.


 NB>  NB>>> anything along with the ones in the Rochester area, that might
 NB>  NB>>> have been a chance to have met one or two of them, though....
 NB>  RH>> Some of us went to RIT for Bible study with NTID students.
 NB>  NB>> But that could be another possibility, if there were any
 NB> non-NTID  NB>> RIT students also involved in that Bible study...

 RH> Mostly hearing impaired as I recall, plus students from Roberts and
 RH> Houghton. Co-ordinator was an interpreter at NTID and pastor for the
 RH> deaf at Bethel Assemblies of God church in Rochester.

 NB> Ah...  well, not that likely you would have run into my siblings
 NB> there, either, then...  My sister Tait did learn sign, and might have
 NB> been a part of that sort of bible study, though... 

Possibly so; IIRC, we met on Wednesday nights in one of the dorm
lounges.
