having her kitchen redone this summer.

It's hard to cruise thru something like a voice major when you have a
good, but not great voice. Also hard to cruise thru academics when you
have to work hard for decent grades.

No snacks that I know of. Imodium though.

many as before, because I got accommodations

If it happens, I'll do my part.

Chicken enchilada soup

Looks good--I'm sure we could use flour tortilla strips instead of corn,
if we didn't leave them out altogether.

Then it wouldn't be enchilada soup. Putting
tortillas in everything was all the rage a
couple decades ago. I agree that leaving out
the tortillas wouldn't damage the dish at all.
One could substitute noodles or, perhaps
better, omit the starch.

Hi Michael,

This is the text that I'd lost -

Is your computer haunted? (G)

At Rosemary's I used mustard that had been bought
(and opened) for a party in 2005. This was noted
because the party was for the inaugural concert
of a group called Tres Moutarde (doggy French that
doggily translated into "(You can't have) too much
mustard"); at this party were 10 different kinds
of mustard served, some of which persist in her
fridge today, though that may change, as she's
having her kitchen redone this summer.

And as I replied, I wonder how many will end up back in her fridge. Some
people can't throw anything out if, even if there's only a little bit
left.

Sometimes I wish I had pursued it, but then life would have taken a
different path & I'd probably not be typing to you.

Same as not all musicians play instruments/sing.

Just read an article in the N&O aabout an opera singer who drove trucks
and was a bounty hunter type guy before going into a music career.
Thought he wasn't good enough to make a go of it at first.

I've not reached that point yet.

Meds are sometimes neccessary to carry. Also helps for some diabetics to
carry a quick sugar hit like hard candy.

Something to consider. We might hunt up a campground or place willing to
let us park the camper for a few days.

All kinds of twists to make it interesting.

We had tortilla soup for the first time at a hole in the wall Mexican
place in Tombstone. It was before we started putting 2 & 2 together
about Steve's migraines and corn--but we did enjoy the soup.
