 NB>  (Michael Angelo's chicken piccata)
 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
 RH>> weather. More fresh fruits, veggies, etc and lighter on the meats.
 NB>> We're talking about the piccata, not the pasta, remember...?

 RH> It has pasta in it, doesn't it?

Actually, no it doesn't, not at all... there's light breading on the
chicken pieces, but that's the only carb there...

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

 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 with them.
 
I did mostly cold meals when at family camping... just easier that
way...  

 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.
 NB>> Yes, hopefully....  

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

I thought the idea was for her to travel this time... 

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

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

True...  but they might not be quite at that point yet by then...
