 RH>>>> We keep adding to it tho. (G)
 NB>>>> No surprise there.... (G)
 RH>>> No, not really.
 NB>>> If nothing else, Steve will find some neat gadget... 
 RH>> Undoubtedly. He's on a forum where all sorts of ideas are
 RH>> exchanged, including pictures. He's posted some of his work too.
 NB>> Good to share...  

 RH> Very much so, he enjoys it very much.

No surprise there...  
 
 RH>>>> I'm not coffee intolerant; I just can't take the taste of it.
 NB>>>> I still miss it...    Along with apples.... 
 RH>>> I never developed a taste for coffee so don't miss it. OTOH, if
 RH>>> I had to give up apples, I would miss them. There are fruits I
 RH>>> like better but nothing can replace apples for some things.
 NB>>> Indeed.... tell me about it....!!!  Along with the plenty of
 NB>>> things that don't need the extra apple in them, there are all
 NB>>> those lovely apple things that I just can't have any more....
 NB>>> and pear or grape don't substitute for all of them....
 RH>> Pear worked well last year for the Waldorf type salad I made,
 RH>> the year before for the dessert Gail made. But, I know, it
 RH>> can't sub for everything, much as you would want it to
 RH>> sometimes. Grape is even less of a sub for some things, IMO.
 NB>> When the whole fruit is being used, pear is a better
 NB>> substitute... either works out pretty well when talking about
 NB>> apple juice... it does depend on what it is, though... 

 RH> I know, and that's the rub. We have to read labels for various
 RH> iterations of corn--that stuff is in almost every thing!

Quite a few things like that, actually... corn, apple, HFCS, MSG,
gluten, excessive salt, artificial sweeteners... depending on what the
sensitivity is to.....
