Hi Ben,


RH> OUCH! Just bumps and bruises or more major damage? Did the bike survive?
RH> I've given up on bike riding, don't trust my balance on it any more.

 BC> More major damage.  The bike is fine and by now i have healed enough
 BC> to go on walks and mow the lawn.  Since then i came down with a bad
 BC> cold.  Keeping my immune system on its toes!

Push the thyme tea; that's a big help for bronchial issues. Just take a
bunch of thyme, put it in a 2 or 3 quart pot, add water and bring it
just to a boil. Turn off, let it steep about 20 minutes, strain, sweeten
(if desired, taste it first) and down the hatch! One of the vendors at
the Wake Forest farmer's market when we first started going to it in
2009 gave Stephen the recipe when she didn't see me at the market one
week. It's a big help, believe me!

 BC> I too have quit riding my bike.  If i lived in a more bike-friendly
 BC> town that had more separate paths, like Eugene and Portland do, i'd
 BC> keep riding. As it is, there are bike paths but most people ride on
 BC> the sidewalk because there are big vehicles driving recklessly at
 high BC> speeds.  I think i got off easy, just taking a tumble by the
 railroad BC> tracks.

We've got a few greenway trails and some bike lanes but nothing
significant for biking.

RH> Yesterday Steve smoked 2 racks of ribs
RH> so we had part of one plus a spinach salad for supper. The salad was based
RH> on one we'd had in our hotel in Fairbanks, AK several years ago; it had
RH> candied pecans, craisins, feta cheese, bacon crumbles, strawberries and
RH> spinach with a balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing. I didn't measure
RH> anything, just "That looks about right" into a a couple of bowls. It went
RH> well with the ribs and now we have several packages of ribs in the freezer
RH> for future enjoyment.

 BC> That sounds downright decadent.  Nice going!

It is good; I had it twice in the 3 days we were in Fairbanks. We're up
in western NY right now, for supper we stopped at a branch of a pizza
place I used to go to occaisionally while in college. They still make
the best pizza I've ever had other than my home made.


 BC> I bought a shaker of Hairy Potter Butterbeer Topping in the discount
 BC> section of the grocery store.  It's basically butterscotch flavored
 BC> sugar.

Butterscotch is a flavor I can take or leave. If there's a choice
between it and chocolate, the chocolate would win out. If the other
choice is peanut butter, I'd go for the butterscotch. (G)


 BC> Last Friday i planned to make your mother-in-law's layere dessert
 BC> recipe, with butterscotch sugar mixed into the whipping cream, topped
 BC> with
 BC> butterscotch chips.  Alas, i came down with a bad cold and postponed
 BC> those plans.

Plenty of other chances to make it; I'm sure the chips won't go bad
overnight. Pop them into the fridge or freezer to help prolong their
life.

... Always butter up the SYSOP, they taste better that way.
