I'm going to borrow my daughter-in-law's bread machine and practice making rye and wheat breads for Flexy, one of these days. If I'm successful, I will buy my own machine.

There must be at least 50 and maybe a hundred
different brands of bread sold in the Bay Area of Calif.
These are small bakeries.

I have settled on Vital Vittals , raisen rolls.
It is still made by hand and is very popular

Orangic stuff , etc.

I'll be making sausage bread for a holiday party tomorrow evening.

Yesterday, my DIL and I went to a nice looking place that is known for its Reuben sandwiches. We didn't know the place at all and we were very hungry. Only after we had a drink and ate our food, did we notice that the bar stools and the tables were occupied by only women. We decided to stay a while just to see if some men would come in--they never did, but in the meantime, we noticed we were being eyed with much interest. It didn't take long for us to get of there, I tell you.

I love Reuben sandwiches. Absolutely.

12772. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 1:38:54 AM

I looked in vain for the place here where one
can set the number of posts seen at one time.

I have to scroll down many to get to the last post
which is at the botom not the top of the page.

12773. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:44:22 AM

It's at the bottom of the tan sidebar. If you're in the posting window and you look just up and to the right you'll see a link to "Home" and one for "Back to the Top" and just below that is where you can set the posts per page.

12774. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 1:46:50 AM

Boy that was a fast reply,
thanks Ms.No.

12775. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:47:26 AM

BTW, I saw that PP had mentioned you starting a word games thread here. Are you amenable to that? If so we need to know what you'd like to call it so we can set a title.

I'm getting ready to be gone for the weekend, but if you email motemoderator@yahoo.com with a title preference we can get started on setting it up and have it ready to go on Monday morning.

12776. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:47:54 AM

Sometimes I'm on the ball! ;->

12777. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 1:53:13 AM

Wow setting the posts per view at 10
has made it much easier to find the last one.

Ms.No. Re. a word game thread
not sure it would work here because the Mote doesn't have
folders or what ever the term is
for when there are a number of threads to chose
from .

Lets talk about this when you get back next week.

Did you take a look at the link that PP has to my forum
in WorldCrossing?

Maximum Max's Fun With WERDZ

12778. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:55:03 AM

I only just had a chance to glance at it. I'll take a closer look and we can talk Monday.

Have a good weekend!

12779. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 2:10:11 AM

Same to you Ms.N.

12780. arkymalarky - 12/18/2004 3:57:37 AM

Judith, we ate at that soul food place we went to with you and Keoni and it was soooo good. Yams and collard greens and cabbage and ribs and catfish--they also had liver and some other stuff I didn't eat. And custard pie for dessert.

12781. judithathome - 12/18/2004 7:33:42 PM

Oh, swoon! I loved the food there! Maybe we can take MsNo when we all come see you next summer.

We're going to a Solstice party tonight...I'm taking along a pound of French feta cheese, two cans of baba ganoush, a jar of olive tampenade, a bag of pistachio nuts, and three boxes of pita chips made fresh at the Greek cafe down the street. We're also taking wine.

This guy is a glass artist and he always has a great mix of people at his parties. Can't wait to see who turns up tonight.

12782. arkymalarky - 12/18/2004 8:05:29 PM

Sounds like a wonderful evening!

Good idea for the summer. I think MsNo would really like that place.

Finishing the paper by Monday, then I'm set to enjoy the rest of my break, I hope. I'm looking forward to cleaning my house and relaxing in it for the rest of the holiday (except figuring semester grades, which won't take long).

12783. judithathome - 12/18/2004 9:51:43 PM

Is it cold at your place? Here, it is almost hot. I'm so sick of this up and down weather...just act like winter, damn it!

12784. arkymalarky - 12/18/2004 9:58:06 PM

It's 60F, but it had been pretty cold last week. I can't tell if it's going to be a harsh winter or not. We got down into the teens a couple of nights, then back up to 40s for lows.

12785. judithathome - 12/18/2004 10:15:50 PM

According to the squirrels' tails, it should be really cold...they are very bushy.

12786. Max Macks - 12/19/2004 2:46:09 AM

Another nice sunny day here, in the Bay Area.

But it gets quite cold when the sun goes down.

The good news is that in a few days the days will
get longer rather than shorter.
