Hi Dave,
DD> When I am washing my knives they never leave my hand until they are
DD> put in the dish rack. No worriews there.
RH> I always put knives in one specific area and move any soap suds aside
RH> before putting my hand there. Handles are always pointed toward me so I
RH> can grab them first.
DD> We each have our methods which we are comfortable using. Dennis seems
DD> to wash dishes by erosion under a running hot water tap w/no soap
DD> (s'truth).
One of my dad's housekeepers did that too; I tried to get to the dishes
before she did so I could use some soap.
DD> I've told him to leave my dishes and I'll do them later - w/Dawn, a
DD> dish brush and a 3M sponge w/scrubbie on the back.
I use a dish cloth (crocheted cotton), usually Palmolive dish soap and
various scrubbers as needed. Several years ago one of our daughter gave
us a chain mail scrubber for cast iron, plus we have assorted other
nylon and silicone scrubbers.
RH> Nice that he lets you know it's on the menu. We've got a kebab (gyro)
RH> place in WF but for a good sit down Greek meal we need to go into
RH> Raleigh.
DD> Otherwise he has too much waste/unsold product.
RH> Can it be frozen in meal size portions?
DD> No doubt, but this is a busy 24/7 truck stop (and general public)
DD> place which is seldom less the 40% full.
So he usually sells out of it? I had the impression that he usually had
left overs, which, as I said, could be frozen.
DD> I don't understand why they don't ad this soup to their mix. They
DD> are known throughout the area for great soups.
DD> I have to assume it doesnt keep well in the steam table. But I'll ask
DD> and if I hear anything different I'll post it here.
RH> This would probably freeze well also. I made chicken/rice soup last
RH> night using a rice blend. Much better than the canned stuff or even
RH> home made with just brown rice.
DD> I did ask ... and I was right. I make this soup for "special"
DD> occasions usually w/chicken but sometimes using leftover turkey. I
DD> makes a *LOT*
DD> for a pair of old bachelors. Fortunately it freezes well.
Lundberg makes a nice rice blend that we like for a lot of things. It
has wild rice, red and brown rice and at least one other kind, forget
right now what. It used to have a green rice in the mix but they
discontinued that some years ago, much to our disappointment. I'd
originally bought some at a natural foods store in HI, just to try for
something different, and Steve really liked it so it became a regular
purchase.
