   Hi Ruth,   
      
   BC> I haven't seen anyone use one since.  Though those stove-top espresso   
   BC> makers kind of remind me of a percolator, minus the clear glass knob on   
   BC> top.   
      
   RH> My   
   RH> husband, Steve, will sometimes use a Moka pot which is sort of like an old   
   RH> fashioned percolator, on a one cup scale.   
      
   I had forgotten the term "Moka pot".  That's what i was referring to as a   
   stove-top espresso maker.   
      
   RH> They've been quiet.   
      
   Quiet holidays sounds ideal to me right now.  I'm getting in the mood to   
   do some programming projects, so i think i'll take a laptop with me.   
   I'm planning to "port" some old Borland Turbo-C + TASM code to   
   OpenWatcom.  I've done it twice before, so i am fairly confident.   
      
   RH> No fun, I hope she's doing better now.   
      
   Indeed it was not fun.  We picked her up from the operation at half past   
   midnight.  She is recovering well so far.   
      
   RH> She hasn't posted in some years; we had quite the thing going for some   
   RH> years with 2 sets of RH and 2 sets of DS on the echo. People said that   
   RH> they could tell which RH was posting from the writing style.   
      
   Were Dale Ship & Dave Saucerdote the two sets of DS?   
      
   At one place i worked, the old-time Unix admins had 3 letter usernames   
   for the first, middle, and last initials.  Later they switched the   
   convention to first initial plus last name, which is what i had.  On   
   an email list it was clear who had seniority.  :)   
      
   I made pancakes for breakfast.  Recently, if i put canned fruit in the   
   pancake batter, i'll drain the syrup into a saucepan and add 1 tb flour   
   and warm it up to thicken it.  This morning i had peach pancakes with    
   peach syrup and it was mighty tasty.  I did not use the following   
   recipe.
