Seems so; baseball isn't as much of a draw for youngsters as
it used to be.

Dunno, maybe the suburban kids are still into it...

From what I've seen, basketball is still the game that draws most of
the kids.

It doesn't take up much space... :)

a number of recreation areas scattered around the city,
that have a number of choices of games, probably including
baseball...

Still, nothing like a neighborhood pick up game...

You need a certain number of kids for that... and, as I said, it
could be happening at the neighborhood recreation centers... :)

We used to have adults playing games with the kids some nights. No set teams, join whichever one needed players. Played until it got too dark
to see the ball.

In our family, that often ends up being a soccer pickup game... still
happens some nights when we are camping together... ;)

spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, an apple gallette and another
pastry (forget what right now). Also were given a couple of
good sized hot cross buns to try an experiment--making bread
pudding-- out of them and letting that vendor know how it
turned out.

That sounds like a nice haul.. :)

T'was, and the bread pudding turned out quite well. I found an
easy recipe on the All Recipies site and gave it a try,
definately a keeper. I may have put in more raisins than it
called for but.... (G)

That sounds good... hard to have too many raisins in things, to
my mind... ;) How did the vendor like the bread pudding...?

It's still in our freezer; we had choir practice last week during
market time and couldn't get it to her. Maybe tomorrow, if it's not dumping down rain (forecast is for lots of cold rain) at market time.

Did the weather cooperate...? Or are you planning to try again this weekend...? :)

That's a good size.. ;) Not too big, but big enough to be
useful... :) You might even make quick breads in it... or
mini-loaves of regular bread... :)

Probably so, have to try it some time soon.

Once you have a bit of time available.. ;)

Don't hold your breath while looking for a report. (G)

Nope, I know better... ;) But eventually, you'll try it, and
then you'll give your report.... ;)

Sooner or later. It does do a good job of the tasks we've asked it to
do so far.

That's promising... :)

They are very handy but one company recently started making them a bit

unless there's no other choice.

We'll know fairly soon. He was part of a piano recital last
week, parents sent a link to his section. That kid is good!

Nice. They grow in more than just size.... ;)

Yes, when we went out in December, 2012, he was having trouble
playing "Streets of Larado" with proper timing, etc.

That is more than 5 years ago now... ;)

We've heard (via Skype or internet) him play bits and pieces from time
to time in the interim but not very often.

So it'll be a treat to be there and have him be able to play more of
what he's learning for you... :)

She did. Saw her last week and got the verdict.

So now she'll get the recipe from you and make her own...? ;)

TBD, she makes a lot of other goodies for the market.

Never hurts to add a new one from time to time.... or just to
make at home with the leftovers that didn't sell at market... ;)

Maybe so, if she's not burnt out from other baking and jam making.

True. :)

Yup... when you are trying to keep things cooler in the
house... :)

At least somewhat so. (G)

Better than the large oven... ;)

I used the small one for a pie shell the other day--worked well.

That's useful... :)

Very much so; Steve made sourdough biscuits in it last night.

Also a useful thing... :)

Baked bread (standard, 100% whole wheat) the othe day but did
it in the big oven as it needed the space.

Come summer you might want to try it in the smaller oven, but
make smaller loaves to fit the space... ;)

The loaves I make are a good sandwich size.

True, that could be a consideration... ;)

We could always make something like the sandwich rounds. (G)

I was just thinking that the smaller loaves you'd just cut
differently than the large ones for sandwiches.... but the
sandwich rounds are an even better idea... :)

They are very handy but one company recently started making them a bit larger. That means more carbs per round so we're not going to get
those unless there's no other choice.

But if you make your own, you can make them the size you want... :)

One or the other of us will, no doubt about that. We've been too busy to

I'll try to remember. If I get it when we get back from this
trip, it'll stare at me from the pantry shelf so might be easier
to remember to grab.

That should work.... (G)

Don't want to put it in the camper until we get back from VT tho.

Makes sense... don't want to get it mixed in with other stuff... :)

Nope! Found out yesterday she's out of the habenero mango, just has jalapeno mango now. She will hve more of the former before September
tho.

And you'll be back home for a little while before the picnic, too...

Find the right size bowl, maybe... :)

Or something else suitable. Preferably something that would
cut as it is pressed into the dough; a bowl would have to be
cut around.

Depending on the bowl... I was thinking of one that has a rim
more like a tumbler...

Most all of our bowls have a rolled edge that wouldn't work.
Have to see what else is in the kitchen that might sub instead.

You'll probably find something.... :)

Most likely I will. (G)

If you don't, I imagine that Steve will come up with something... :)

One or the other of us will, no doubt about that. We've been too busy
to think about making rounds since we got home; it's also been too hot (mid to upper 90s). We've been using bread we bought on the trip and
some I had in the freezer.

Maybe it'll cool down some, and you'll be able to do some baking... :)
In the meantime, it's a good thing you have some on hand that needs
using... ;)

Yes, because this is a week the rats are winning the race. IOW, so busy
with this and that, that extras like bread baking are put on hold for a
bit. Yesterday would have been a good day but for having to use the
berries, a dental appointment, VBS and other odds & ends of "gotta dos".

it seem cooler, even if it isn't, really. (G)

True.... not doing putups means not heating up the kitchen quite so badly... :) I'll be happy if we just stay out of the 90s and get cool nights.... :)

I'll try to have things that can be put on the grill, in the microwave,
etc. Made a chicken dish for the team last night that used the oven but
it was a grand slam home run--will do it for LG this fall.

we brought to the church social last night about 9:30.

Ah... that makes sense... can't really work on it after dark, but
it's something that one doesn't want to procrastinate on, either...

He's almost done now. The weather is holding up (staying dry) but been quite hot. Between his camelback and other water breaks, he's staying hydrated tho.

All sounds good... :)

Hi Nancy,

missed the market last week.

Hopefully she'll have it... :)

Missed the market again this week because of the work Steve is
doing on the house. He was planning to take me, then forgot.

So hopefully he'll remember this week... :)

He's pretty sure he will remember. (G)

Good. And hopefully she'll have the habenero sauce... ;)

Jam--he got something yesterday but it's out in the camper and I don't
recall just what it was. But, he got it so.................

I try to have some sort of an idea of what to do, depending on

what RH>> night it is and what the plans are for the night.

I often have at least a rough idea... but things can change

quickly NB>> around here, for one reason or another, so I just stay flexible...

Very understandable. I keep some easy do stuff in the freezer and if
push comes to shove, can always make pasta/sauce. (G)

For me, the push to shove easy is the surimi... <G>

I've got different options but pasta is always an easy fall back.

Until the house (chimney) work is done, every hour of daylight

is RH>> going toward that. Shopping is done after dark--got the ice
cream RH>> we brought to the church social last night about 9:30.

Just about done now.
