 NB>  (Michael Angelo's chicken piccata)
 RH>>>> OK, probably about right for us.
 NB>>>> Worst case, you'll have leftovers for another meal...   But I
 NB>>>> was a little surprised the first time we tried it that it
 NB>>>> wasn't all that much after all...
 RH>>> OK, nice to know.
 NB>>> Let me know how you fare with them, once you do try them.. 
 RH>> Will do, but may wait until slightly cooler weather before
 RH>> trying them.
 NB>> Wouldn't blame you, although, it does microwave nicely, so you'd
 NB>> not need to heat up the kitchen with the oven...  

 RH> It's an option but we tend to go easier on the pasta in hot weather.
 RH> More fresh fruits, veggies, etc and lighter on the meats.
 
We're talking about the piccata, not the pasta, remember...? Just before
I left for here, we had a box of the piccata, microwaved it, served on
bread (not pasta or potatoes or rice) to soak up the juices, and some
broccoli also nuked...  Quick simple supper...  
 
 RH>>>> Now down to one daughter coming out. Younger one's company
 RH>>>> commander said that nobody takes leave in July due to the
 RH>>>> work schedule.
 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... 
 RH>> We'll see; with the boys in school, she has to work extended
 RH>> travel around that schedule now.
 NB>> There are school breaks.... but yes, that does make things
 NB>> more complicated....

 RH> Hopefully we can get something worked out.

Yes, hopefully....  
 
 RH>>> from FL to put away now.
 NB>>> Right, that, too...   Did you manage to get everything out of
 NB>>> the house that needed to be gotten, while you were there....?
 RH>> Not by a long shot! We got just about all of what we wanted
 RH>> (Steve couldn't fit some tools into the truck bed.) but there's
 RH>> still a lot to be done. His younger sister & her husband/3 adult
 RH>> children will be down there next week to work on it.
 NB>> So it'll be a family project for a while... When will you be
 NB>> going back to get the rest of the tools Steve wants.....?

 RH> Unknown at this point when/if we will.

Is anyone else likely to be interested in the tools...?  And are you
likely to go back yo help sort stuff...?
