Hi Dale,
DS> We've got four stools that could be used. All of them fold up. Two of
DS> them we got on the web, one is 12 inch and the other is 18 inch. Then
RH> I think both of my small ones are 12 inches. I bought one at the
RH> Wegman's in your area. That one is kept in the sewing room; the other
RH> is in the kitchen, with the 2 step stool.
RH> I've grabbed the kitchen step stools to use as a seat when going thru
RH> the lower pantry shelves. Only problem with the smaller one is that
RH> I'm sitting so low and there's no side rail to grab, getting up can be
RH> a bit of a challenge some days.
DS> I hear you. We don't have side rails in the kitchen, but I am quite
DS> grateful that we have multiple side rails in the bathrooms.
The side rail is on the step stool. We also have a step ladder outside
that can be used for even more higher reaches but I generally leave that
for Steve.
RH> From the looks of it, it would probably feed 6-8 comfortably.
DS> The default for MM is 4, but we added the generously. The intended
DS> audience for our recipes with the category "boat" is young students on
DS> the environmental training ship (Lady Maryland) that Bryan was on as
DS> the galley cook.
Working on a boat can work up an appetite, and young folks tend to have
a hefty one anyway. When we had teens in our small group at church, I'd
figure on about 2 dozen servings for 18 people. We're down to one teen
and half a dozen adults so I figure on cooking for 8-10 people.
Sometimes I have left overs, sometimes I don't.
DS> This looks like it would serve four better than two, even given
only DS> 3/4 pound of protein.
Most Asian meals use a minimal amount of protein. I thought I'd not had
a lot of protein yesterday but adding it all up, I had a fair amount.
Had a ham biscuit and yogurt for breakfast today so that was a healthy
amount of protein to start the day.

... It works! Now, if only I could remember what I did.
