Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Up at the Pond, RJ does sausages and meat (and sometimes even
 NB>  NB>> veggies) over a fire outside... Did steaks and sausages both
 NB>  NB>> for a couple of meals this last time up at there... He does a
 NB>  NB>> nice job of it... 

 RH> Sounds like he enjoys it too.

 NB> He apparently does....   He's quick to tell how he seasoned things,
 NB> etc...  

You trained him well. (G)

 NB>  RH>> Same with Steve. I don't put it in much that we both eat but if
 NB>  RH>> I'm the only one eating something, I'll use it there.
 NB>  NB>> I did use some in a seafood salad I made for last night's supper
 NB>  NB>> (just too hot to want to do anything warm)... chopped up celery
 NB>  NB>> and a couple boiled eggs, and added with both dill and sweet
 NB>  NB>> pickle relish and mayo to shredded Krab... The relish was nicely
 NB>  NB>> understated but helped the overall mix...  

 RH> That sounds good, nice hot weather meal.

 NB> It was.... 

We've been doing a lot of that. Last night Steve grilled some chicken
breasts, had them with leftover mashed potatoes topped with wilted
lettuce (hot bacon dressing on the lettuce). Followed up with frozen
custard for dessert after church.

 NB>  RH>> They're a regular for me, except in winter.
 NB>  NB>> I'll grab a couple of them for taking with me to Elder
 NB> 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)

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

Sounds like you made good use of them.

 NB> needed
 NB> the mushrooms to take care of some fluid retention swelling in my
 NB> foot...  

 Not fun. My knee is still bigger than the other one--don't know if it
 just takes time for things to settle down or what.
