 RH>>> was the usual side (also some other vegetable, but always the
 RH>>> plain potatoes) with it.
 NB>>> I don't envy you that side dish... We so rarely had mashed
 NB>>> potatoes... usually potatoes were either in stew, or quartered/
 NB>>> eighthed and boiled with skin still on...
 RH>> I did boiled potatoes (but had to peel them) a lot when I was
 RH>> cooking for the family while Mom was in summer school. I prefer
 RH>> them to mashed but most of the family prefers them mashed.
 NB>> I've been known to smash the boiled potatoes to make a somewhat
 NB>> rustic version of mashed pototoes, mixed with plenty of butter
 NB>> and milk.... 

 RH> Sounds about like my mom's always lumpy mashed potatoes. (G)

Mine still have the skins on them...    It isn't a very often thing
anyway... 
 
 NB>>>>> non-NTID RIT students also involved in that Bible study...
 RH>>>> Mostly hearing impaired as I recall, plus students from Roberts
 RH>>>> and Houghton. Co-ordinator was an interpreter at NTID and
 RH>>>> pastor for the deaf at Bethel Assemblies of God church in
 RH>>>> Rochester.
 NB>>>> Ah...  well, not that likely you would have run into my
 NB>>>> siblings there, either, then...  My sister Tait did learn sign,
 NB>>>> and might have been a part of that sort of bible study,
 NB>>>> though... 
 RH>>> Possibly so; IIRC, we met on Wednesday nights in one of the dorm
 RH>>> lounges.
 NB>>> If I think of it, I'll ask her if she was part of that.... 
 RH>> Ask her if she knew Chip Green.
 NB>> OK, I'll try to remember... 

 RH> He's the one that got Steve and me together. He's played matchmaker a
 RH> number of times, and last we knew, was still single himself.

Just never found the right girl himself...   I forgot to ask Tait when
I saw her... had even written it down... and thought of it once when
sitting on my cabin porch by myself there, just not when she was
around... oh, well, that's how it goes...
