KYH, thanks for clearing up the title thing, had been meaning to ask. Seems a bit strange, especially when I had no idea what a culinarian was?

And Welcome Kevin!!!!!!!!
Glad you are here.

Howdy, Nan! Still at work? It's great to be here... I'm finding it a warm & friendly place- moreso than the other 2 places...

Your little Min. Pin. sounds adorable, Cathy- I'm sure he's a spoiled l'il devil too!

Like you I'm also a Reese's fan. They cure my craving not only for sweet but also salty.

Your garden sounds amazing- the stuff guys like me w/ only a tiny l'il patio container garden can dream of- Ha!

Thanks so much for the well wishes and the nice welcome...

the relief at the Moose was just for time other cook was ill.
Am still standing by for survey job in California. vessel was supposed to leave Saettle on the 21st--if so I would have left yesterday. Now they are shooting for 1st, I should be out of here around the 23rd.
lots to do around here though--
Nan
