Getting on ice cream cone season down here soon. This next week will be
in the mid 50s so hopefully the week after will be warm enough for ice
cream. (G)

There was some bratty kid at the baseball park the
other day expounding (if a 10-year-old can be said to
do so) on how ice cream was a summer food. I refrained
from noting that some of the biggest consumers of that
treat are the Northeastern states, and some of the
most profitable months are in the winter.

Better to have and not need, than to need and not have. I had a therapy
session earlier this afternoon--told the therapist I was not using the
cane for 2-3 steps (e.g.--going from the table to the sink in the
kitchen) around the house. He encouraged that, said to try to work up to
more time (around the house) without it.

Our girls had never had it, wanted to know what it was/tasted like, etc

I've got one of those around, somewhere. For a while when I was having
the problems with my foot, we kept that cane in the car. The foot issues settled down, took the cane out of the car. When the knee started acting
up, I just went with the non folding cane. I'm trying to get around in
the house without it in certain areas, other areas I'll still use it
more.

I can imagine. When I was 14 our explorer troop went to Philmont. We
hiked around the mountains for two weeks, with supplies that had been
brought into the local camps by mule or back pack. That meant powdered
eggs. When we got to the big base camp -- they again gave us powedered
eggs. Our troop leader went to supply and tossed a hissy fit saying
that "we have had powdered eggs for two weeks -- give us some real
eggs". We got real eggs.

In a closer comparison, my dad spent WWII in Australia (he was a
physical therapist with the Navy then). After he came home, neither
mutton nor lamb were allowed in our house. I suspect that he got
overdosed on it there.

The food services industry must have gone overboard in the production of powdered eggs. My parents both started college in 1946; Mom says that
the dining halls served powdered eggs on a regular basis for most of the
4 years she was a student.

In a closer comparison, my dad spent WWII in Australia (he was a
physical therapist with the Navy then). After he came home, neither mutton nor lamb were allowed in our house. I suspect that he got overdosed on it there.

My mom nevr cooked lamb, don't know if it was the cost, availability (or
lack thereof) where we lived or what. Her mother did serve it for Sunday
dinner from time to time when we visited but I don't know how frequently
she did otherwise. She had a major stroke when I was 14 and never cooked
gain. Steve and I first started buying it in HI, at the suggestion of
one of our friends at church.
