Hi Nancy,


 NB>  (Michael Angelo's chicken piccata)
 NB>  NB>>> Let me know how you fare with them, once you do try them.. 
 NB>  RH>> Will do, but may wait until slightly cooler weather before
 NB>  RH>> trying them.
 NB>  NB>> Wouldn't blame you, although, it does microwave nicely, so you'd
 NB>  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.

 NB> We're talking about the piccata, not the pasta, remember...? Just

It has pasta in it, doesn't it?

 NB> before I left for here, we had a box of the piccata, microwaved it,
 NB> served on
 NB> bread (not pasta or potatoes or rice) to soak up the juices, and some
 NB> broccoli also nuked...  Quick simple supper...  

I've been making easy do things also--too hot to cook. Tomorrow Steve is
going to smoke some ribs we picked up. Since that will be done outside,
it won't heat up the kitchen. Probably left over potato salad or wilted
lettuce over mashed potatoes to go wwith them.

 NB>  RH>>> Maybe she can come out some other time, with the boys.
 NB>  NB>>> That would be nice... and a bit of a consolation... 
 NB>  RH>> We'll see; with the boys in school, she has to work extended
 NB>  RH>> travel around that schedule now.
 NB>  NB>> There are school breaks.... but yes, that does make things
 NB>  NB>> more complicated....

 RH> Hopefully we can get something worked out.

 NB> Yes, hopefully....  

Have to see what we can work out between her schedule and the boys
school calendar. We don't want to drive out west in winter but maybe
late fall?

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

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

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

Again, unknown. We may try to get down there again this fall but if the
house is up for sale then, the tools will be gone.
