Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>>> Sounds like he enjoys it too.
 NB>  NB>>> He apparently does....   He's quick to tell how he seasoned
 NB>  NB>>> things, etc...  
 NB>  RH>> You trained him well. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Actually, I think he mostly trained himself on that... I've
 NB>  NB>> tended to be more utilitarian, at least in his formative
 NB> years...  NB>> and he's much more so now than I, besides...  

 RH> So he did pretty well on his own then. Reading labels, playing with
 RH> combinations helps. My youngest sister tried some rather ghastly
 RH> combinations of seasonings before we taught her to read the lables for
 RH> suggestions. It didn't take long for her to catch on the seriousness
 RH> of our teachings.

 NB> Once he was on his own, living in an apartment while in college, he
 NB> really got into playing with various seasonings... if he had any
 NB> ghastly ones, it apparently happened while he was by himself... I
 NB> never was
 NB> served any such... (G)


And he never told you about any, I presume?


 NB>  NB>>> tasty as I'd hoped, somewhat flat, actually... But I had a
 NB>  NB>>> bacon/tomato/mayo sandwich one day, and twice had a tomato/
 NB>  NB>>> cheese/mayo sandwich...  One day, I cut a tomato half into
 NB>  NB>>> wedges to eat with a canned salmon/egg salad and a mess of
 NB>  NB>>> mushrooms and onion cooked in my leftover bacon fat... 
 NB>  RH>> Sounds like you made good use of them.
 NB>  NB>> Yup....   Didn't waste a bit of them, either...  

 RH> That's the best way to use them.

 NB> Yup...  

I've got a few I think I'll make into pasta sauce. Not many, not worth
trying to can or freeze so a fresh veggie sauce would be a good way to
use them.


 NB>  RH>> My knee is still bigger than the other one--don't know if it
 NB>  RH>> just takes time for things to settle down or what.
 NB>  NB>> It might be the extra hardware partly, but also possibly just
 NB>  NB>> from the surgery, and needing to settle down... maybe someone
 NB>  NB>> that's had it done previously (like Gail) would have some idea
 NB>  NB>> of which.... 

 RH> Time will tell. Still not even 6 months since surgery.

 NB> And Gail should be askable at the Picnic.... 

I asked my therapist the other day--he said 6 months to a year, minimum,
for things to be fully settled into place/recover from surgery/therapy.
So, it's normal; surgery was Feb. 15, not quite 6 months ago.
