Hi Nancy,

 NB>  (Michael Angelo's chicken piccata)
 NB>  NB>>> That one comes in a 2-pack... and we've found that one of those
 NB>  NB>>> is about the right size for the two of us... There are 4 small/
 NB>  NB>>> med pieces of chicken and some veggies... along with juices....
 NB>  RH>> OK, probably about right for us.
 NB>  NB>> Worst case, you'll have leftovers for another meal...   But I
 NB>  NB>> was a little surprised the first time we tried it that it wasn't
 NB>  NB>> all that much after all...

 RH> OK, nice to know.

 NB> Let me know how you fare with them, once you do try them.. 

Will do, but may wait until slightly cooler weather before trying them.

 NB>  RH>> The lasagnes were also 2-packs; one pack was enough for 3 meals
 NB>  RH>> for the 2 of us. Guess we've got lighter appetites.
 NB>  NB>> The lasagnes are definitely denser than the piccata... I can
 NB>  NB>> see a lasagne going a lot farther, especially when paired with
 NB>  NB>> a good salad...

 RH> Got some stuff for that (and other goodies) at the farmer's market
 RH> today.

 NB> Salad stuffs, you mean....?  And you do always seem to find nice
 NB> goodies as well... 

Salad stuff, stir fry stuff and baked goodies stuff. This time of year
there's a lot of good stuff at the farmer's market.

 NB>  RH>>> Steve also got a utility sink for the same price--he did an
 NB>  RH>>> improvised hook up on the deck so I could wash a larger
 NB> quantity  RH>>> of produce one year for putting up. We both did well.
 NB> (G)
 NB>  NB>>> Sounds like...!  
 NB>  RH>> Probably enough of some colors for my lifetime and more.
 NB>  NB>> Your girls may inherit the extra...  (G)

 RH> Whichever daughter takes the serger will get the cones also.

 NB> Makes sense... 

That's what I figured.


 NB>  RH>> Now down to one daughter coming out. Younger one's company
 NB>  RH>> commander said that nobody takes leave in July due to the
 NB>  RH>> work schedule.
 NB>  NB>> That's a disappointment... nothing she can do about that,
 NB> though...

 RH> Maybe she can come out some other time, with the boys.

 NB> That would be nice... and a bit of a consolation... 

We'll see; with the boys in school, she has to work extended travel
around that schedule now.
 NB>  NB>>> More progress.... 
 NB>  RH>> Yes but this week is a wash.
 NB>  NB>> True, but at least you aren't there generating more mess....
 NB>  NB>> except for the mail and papers you'll need to sort thru when
 NB>  NB>> you get home... (G)

 RH> It's beginning to look decent but have stuff we brought home from FL
 RH> to put away now.

 NB> Right, that, too...   Did you manage to get everything out of the
 NB> house that needed to be gotten, while you were there....?

Not by a long shot! We got just about all of what we wanted (Steve
couldn't fit some tools into the truck bed.) but there's still a lot to
be done. His younger sister & her husband/3 adult children will be down
there next week to work on it.

Catch you later,
