made them by hand. Good memories.

I've been told that being able to cook and being willing to wash dishes
are surprisingly valuable assets when living in community. Even living
alone, being able to cook greatly increases quality of life. True, not everyone has the privilege of the use of a kitchen. Home cooking gives
the satisfaction of having a meal made with love and as you like it. A
benefit often on my mind is the ability to omit certain things from the ingredients. Often, affordable products contain unnecessary stuff, for
example a local store-brand flavored sparkling water has a preservative
(Sodium Benzoate) but it's just water! I was sent on an errand to find cranberry sauce without corn syrup, for Thanksgiving. No grocery store
in my area carried that. They do sell raw cranberries, and it's fairly
easy to make home-made cranberry sauce. It's not health food, but it's
an example.

Title: Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
Categories: Dessert, Mexican
Yield: 1 servings

Flour tortillas
Olive oil or melted butter
Sugar
Ground cinnamon
Baking sheet; lined with
- baking paper

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes

Use up leftover flour tortillas to make this incredibly easy and
deliciously sweet tortilla chips. Eat them on their own or dip them
into fruit salsas or desserts.

Preheat oven to 200?C or 392?F. Combine sugar and ground cinnamon
in a deep bowl until well combined. The amounts are up to your
personal preference. Stack flour tortillas and depending on size
desired, cut into 1/8ths, small triangles. Place the triangles on
baking sheet, brush with olive oil or melted butter, flip and brush
opposite sides too. Place in center of oven and bake until golden and
crispy. Remove from oven and lightly brush with more olive oil or
melted butter. Gently toss the baked and oiled chips in the cinnamon
sugar, careful as the chips may be hot. Serve at room temperature or
as desired.

You're not wrong. They usually include inside professional vendors,
classes, testing sessions for upgrading licenses, and several other
activities.

That type of an event is usually called a hamfest.

An RV/ham radio event is totally foreign to me, so my mind is

In this case, it was ham radio operators (and spouses, some of whom are
also hams) who have RVs. This club started 42 years ago, as a break off
from a Good Sam's group. There's some buying and selling; I picked up
some battery holders that will hold small sewing stuff. Steve got
several radio related things. We also eat well; this rally was held in
Ohio Amish country so we went to an Amish restaurant one night, had a
catered meal (by Amish) another night. During one of the days when Steve
was doing his "radio thing", another wife and I went fabric shopping. I
didn't buy as much as I did last year (G) but got some nice pieces for
future projects. We moved today, so we can go to the Hamvention tomorrow
and a banquet Saturday night where our group will be named "Club of the
Year".

Have fun!

Does it sound like we have been doing so? (G)

Cool! I've never gotten into ham but i used to have a collegue who was.
He lived in the coastal mountain range and didn't have many options for entertainment. He told me he liked to go home after a stressful day of
work, crack a beer, and shoot the breeze on ham. I imagined that maybe
it compared to my IRC habit at the time.

I like liver too. I guess i'm a bad vegetarian because meat still
smells and tastes good to me. I read that eating beef liver is

Title: Mock Chopped Liver (Childs)
Categories: Spreads, Vegetarian
Yield: 12 servings

1 c Dried lentils; cooked until
- soft; drain
1 lb Green beans; boiled or
- steamed until cooked,
- but not mushy
1/4 c Peanuts; or more
1/2 c Walnuts; chopped
2 c Onions; diced, sauteed in
- oil until very soft and
- turning brown
2 cl Garlic; or more,
- saute with the onions
1/4 c Unsweetened peanut butter
- (optional)
Salt & pepper; to taste
Spike seasoning (optional)

Blend it all in the food processor until smooth. I do everything
separately, then mix it all together because my food processor is not
big enough to do it all at once.

Serve as a sandwich spread, or on crackers.

This recipe makes a lot. I think it freezes well, just stir well
after it thaws, and make sure the lentils and green beans are well
drained. Serve with crackers or make sandwiches with it.

My birth father is a ham and I was exposed to it at a very early age but I didn't get my license until Novermber 1997. I enjoy shooting the breeze on
the air also. Being disabled and without a vehicle is tough so ham radio helps.

I also hold a GMRS (General Radio Mobile Service) license also.

Hey, meat is important also as there's some vitamins and minerals you can't
get from plants alone. Liver is good for you. I like it lightly fried in either olive or coconut oil.
