 RH>>> We'll be grilling them for the VBS cook out tomorrow night. I
 RH>>> think Steve has volunteered to man the gril.
 NB>>> Grilled are so much better than boiled.... (G)
 RH>> Quite so, even when the grill flares up.
 NB>> Up at the Pond, RJ does sausages and meat (and sometimes even
 NB>> veggies) over a fire outside... Did steaks and sausages both
 NB>> for a couple of meals this last time up at there... He does a
 NB>> nice job of it... 

 RH> Sounds like he enjoys it too.

He apparently does....   He's quick to tell how he seasoned things,
etc...  
 
 NB>>> It isn't Richard's favorite thing, either, but he doesn't really
 NB>>> mind when I do use it in things... he just doesn't add it on
 NB>>> things, given the choice...  
 RH>> Same with Steve. I don't put it in much that we both eat but if
 RH>> I'm the only one eating something, I'll use it there.
 NB>> I did use some in a seafood salad I made for last night's supper
 NB>> (just too hot to want to do anything warm)... chopped up celery
 NB>> and a couple boiled eggs, and added with both dill and sweet
 NB>> pickle relish and mayo to shredded Krab... The relish was nicely
 NB>> understated but helped the overall mix...  

 RH> That sounds good, nice hot weather meal.
 
It was.... 
 
 NB>>>>> Fresh-sliced tomatoes aren't often available, either...
 RH>>>> Mostly in the summer here for them.
 NB>>>> In season....
 RH>>> Very much so down here.
 NB>>> They're coming into season here, too... I just don't buy them
 NB>>> all that often.... 
 RH>> They're a regular for me, except in winter.
 NB>> I'll grab a couple of them for taking with me to Elder camping...
 NB>> I'm more likely to use them there... 

 RH> You can always trade them for something you will use if you realise
 RH> that they won't fit into what you actually cook (vs what you thought
 RH> you would cook when you packed them). (G)

I wasn't planning to cook them, just to slice them and use them in
sandwiches, mostly... something I rarely do at home, but am more likely
to do when at the family camping... They weren't as tasty as I'd hoped,
somewhat flat, actually... But I had a bacon/tomato/mayo sandwich one
day, and twice had a tomato/cheese/mayo sandwich...  One day, I cut a
tomato half into wedges to eat with a canned salmon/egg salad and a mess
of mushrooms and onion cooked in my leftover bacon fat...   I needed
the mushrooms to take care of some fluid retention swelling in my
foot...

... The refrigerator light DOES go out.  Now let me out of here.
