Hi Dave,
DD> Nearly all of the breakfast & lunch places around here offer
DD> "breakfast all day". Sometimes and omelet or bacon 'n eggs make a
DD> nice lunch.
Or supper. My mom always used eggs, pancakes and such like as lunch or
Sunday night supper foods, breakfast was always cereal--hot from
September to late June, cold for the summer months.
DD> my trousers aren't as tight as they used to be. A visit to my
DD> cardiologist told me that I've lost 35# in the past couple of
DD> moths - according to their scale. If this keeps up it could get
RH> Good going! I need to up my exercise factor and try to shed a few
RH> pounds.
DD> Working it retail I am on my feet and move abot a lot.
And I'm not.
DD> expensive. There's a limit to how much pants can be "taken in."
RH> I know, I've both taken them in and let them out as a seamstress
RH> for hire. (G)
DD> I am not sempster (sempster (ess) found in: Thesaurus, Wikipedia.
DD> sempster (ess) also "s�mpstr�s" noun
DD> 1. (Knitting & Sewing) a rare word for seamstress
DD> 2. (Professions) a rare word for seamstress
DD>

DD> Picked that word up from a Robert Heinlein Sci-Fi novel.
RH> I picked up the term from Alison Weir/Philippa Gregory, both British
RH> authors writing a lot about the pre thru post Henry VIII era. Our older
RH> daughter got me interested in those books when I borrowed one of hers
RH> and she said "keep it". I've quite a number of them on my Nook.
DD> I've a couple from the days of King Chas the 1st on my Kindle.
Titles? Authors?
RH> Yes, it has a locking lid; we make sure it's locked down before
RH> transporting and usually put it in a box, lined with towels as well. We
RH> also put a lightweight bungee cord over the top as extra insurance.
DD> Would that mine had the lock-down lid. I do all that you do including
DD> a "spider bungee" and carry the pot in the foot well od the passenger
DD> seat. Then I drive very gingerly to my destination. With (hopefully)
DD> no abrupt moves caused by drivers buried in their cell phones.
The box should help the mess to stay contained. We bought this crock pot
some years ago when I wanted an oval pot. Got it half off with a nice
Kohl's Cash coupon.(G)
DD> 8<----- You Know ----->8
DD> Here it is - paired with another of my least favourite foods - grits,
DD> aka wallboard spackle. You probably couldn't serve this to Steve since
DD> grits is, at root, corn that has has unconscionable things done to it.
DD> Title: Okra-Grits Recipe
DD> Categories: Vegan, Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies
DD> Yield: 999 Servings
RH> No, he's not that fond of grits anyway, but again, I like them. At one
RH> of our favorite seafood restaurants, my usual order is their shrimp and
RH> grits, half size portion so I have room for clam chowder or seafood
RH> bisque (just a cup) as well.
DD> I think my dislike for grits stems from my dislike for its parent -
DD> hominy. Hominy has a little flavour of its own and a texture/mouthfeel
DD> that puts me right off of it. Grits is about as appetising as the
DD> gravy they used to serve with school lunches in the 1950s. Almost as
DD> tasty
DD> as library paste. Bv)=
I like my grits mixed with scrambled eggs or lots of cheese, preferrably
cheddar.
DD> Corn, from with they make hominy, now that's a different story.
DD> Title: Can Opener Corn Chowder
DD> Categories: Five, Vegetables, Chilies, Dairy
DD> Yield: 3 Servings
Can't serve that here.
