Dear friends,
Y'all are just too cool for words. We bin in n' out of the hospital a
couple times, but still making progress. Cancer sucks; surgery sucks;
infection sucks, cardiac diet rilly sucks, but since he looks like a
skeletal refugee these days, I finally convinced them to give him whatever
real food was available (boring gory medical details deleted).
I think of the groups often and my neighbors' peach trees are fixin' to
bloom. You know what that means.
Been cleaning out the freezer and canned stuff, but having way too much
fun with rx drugs and dying old computer to actually fire up a canner. We
lost nearly every data thing, and what we didn't lose we can't get to. Or
don't care. My sis was here for several weeks and planted peppers, okra,
dill, heirloom 'maters, spinach, and buddhist homilies. My chamomile and
asparagus is up, the bay and parsley and spinnich never died.
OB Food: Sis & I found we love mixture of brown rice and wahini (red rice)
best 1/2 & 1/2. I found some black (sweet?) rice at an Asian grocery nearby.
My entertainment for the weekend. Am searching for very nice biggish woks as
wedding presents.
Love to all,
Edrena
PS Wish me luck in changing my spell check dictionary from French. I don't
get to pick anything else. It said I misspelled everything. I think I need
to sacrifice a chicken and dance nekkid widdershins around the hard drive at
the next full moon. Oughta make for an interestin' bbq. Y'all listenin'
Moose?

How are your other applications behaving? If you're using XP, here is
a good group to inquire in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

check this setting first -

Change the default language setting

You can change your default settings in Microsoft Office to have them
match the default settings of a different language.

In Microsoft Windows XP, on the Windows Start menu, point to All
Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools,
and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.

In Windows 2000, on the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point
to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click
Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings

Click the Enabled Languages tab.
In the Choose the language that defines default behavior in Microsoft
Office applications box, select the language you want, and then click
OK.

A message appears describing the effects of the change. To continue,
click Continue and lose customizations.

Is wahini in any way comparable to the red rice of the Camargue (riz
rouge de Camargue)?

Thanks y'all for your prayers & good wishes. The Nose is coming out of
retirement. They called me that in Albuquerque cook-in 'cause I sniffed at
all the new foods like an aspiring conneswuer. I will get my dictionary
working once of these days.

According to www.wildriceexchange.com the product looks similar fer sure.
BTW, I just now checked the package and it is spelled *wehani.*
www.lundberg.com is the California company that makes it. It really does
have a nice firm texture and nutty taste.

At http://www.archives.quillandparchmen...01/wahini.html , *wahini* means
(in Hawaiian?) a woman; a wife; a female (wah hee nee). I didn't know that.

And http://www.healthycompany.com/article11_rice.htm had this to say: "There
are about 7000 varieties of rice which range from white to black, yellow,
pink and red, light brown and deep brown, some with heavenly aromas (basmati
and jasmine) and others with a distinct "Indian bazaar smell" - the choice
is infinite, yet most North Americans eat either long-grain or medium grain
polished white. A pity, because brown, basmati, arborio and wahini are more
flavourful. Easily digested and with a high B complex content, it is said to
calm the nervous system and help overcome allergies..." Who knew so many
varieties? Pity fer sure, so many flavors, so little stomach.

In any case, we liked mixing up the browns with a little wild thrown in from
time to time. I did pick up some jasmine rice to try, too. And that sweet
black rice.

Edrena, calmly contemplating bashing new fancy hard drive.

Thanks for prayers. He's counting on getting back on the Harley. Feeding him
up and getting him strong my priority these days. Pork ribs, baked sweet
potatoes and mixed salad was real nice tonite. Cooked them ribs in the oven
about 4 hours at 250F, having rubbed on spices & stuff. Last few minutes
cranked up the heat and glazed with bottled bbq sauce. Not fancy, but
everything worked.
Time to quit for the nite, having a rum & stuff cocktail.
Love,
Edrena

There's not much point in worrying about meanings in languages
that you speak imperfectly. The Russian name woman's name Galina
means chicken in Italian if spelled with two ls as "gallina".

There was a king named James. I got one of his books around here on the
