Hi Dave,
DD> Or find out if your Legion/VFW post buys from GFS (their main schtick
DD> is as a restaurant food supplier) and tack a bacon norder on to their
DD> regular delivery. Bv)=
RH> Our Legion/VFW doesn`t operate that way. They have a nice commercial
RH> kitchen (they rent it out during the week) but for meeting nights a
RH> member (they volunteer, Steve did the Legion meeting meal in March)
RH> that gets a good bit of use. It`s also a dry post and a non smoking (in
RH> the building) one.
DD> All enclosed public spaces in Illinois are non-smoking by law. Which
DD> is a good thing. And tippling is, of course, voluntary. I don`t have
I think it`s the same way in NC now. When we first got to WF in 2009,
there were still some places that allowed smoking so we had to specify
"as far away from the smoking section as possible". A couple of years
into our time here, the law was changed so now I don`t have to worry
about it unless we go to a place that hasn`t aired out since 2009. When
Steve was initially in the Army, a lot of gatherings were heavy with
smoke. During the time we were in AZ (mid to late 1990s, early 2000s)
that changed from having a non smoking section at events to totally non
smoking. In HI, we had a lot of meetings outside, in a pavillion so the
breezes blew away all the smoke. Indoor meetings were all non smoking.
DD> any medical or religious strictures against having a sip now and
then. DD> But, I just don`t have the "taste". Last time I had any
alcohol was at DD> one of the echo picnics at Dale Shipp`s when Glen
Jamieson was in DD> attendance.
That was the first picnic we attended, back in 2007. Finally got to a
duty station (Savannah, Hunter Army Air Field) where we were close
enough to go. I made a peach cobbler that vanished, also brought several
home made jams.
DD> land owners/farmers. Students gather the fallen black walnuts in seasonm
DD> and receive tuition credit for their labour. And there is some
DD> arrangement
DD> with a tree service company and sawmill to "thin" the stands of trees
DD> from time to time.
RH> Sounds like a great idea, keeps the black walnut trees going. Some
RH> years ago Steve was able to get a couple of nice pieces of black walnut
RH> from his brother. We knew a local woodworker who turned them into
RH> bowls, kept one, gave the other to sister in law (brother had passed
RH> away before the bowls were ready).
DD> When my mother passed one of the more valuable things (other than her
DD> Wurlitzer piano) was a 3` X 6` hanging mirror with an oil finished,
DD> hand rubbed walnut frame. Yikes! I had no idea it was that valuable
DD> until the antiques dealer made me an offer. Bv)=
Did your jaw drop to the floor? (G) There`s a Mennonite store in PA that
we`ve gone to a few times that sells black walnut meats; Steve usually
picks up a bag when we go.
