Hi Dale,

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

 DS> When I read that I had this mental image of Steve smoking ribs *in*
 DS> the kitchen.  WRONG.

It's funny what mental pictures you can conjure up from words. I've come
up with some good ones. (G)


 DS> I have some corned beef defrosting in the frig.  Later on this week I

 DS> pastrami.  Then they get frozen again for later.  Will be bringing one
 DS> to the picnic.

Sounds good to me. Maybe I'll make some rye bread to go with the
pastrami. Can't promise that, but we have enough time between now and
then that it's a possibility.
