   Hi Ruth,   
      
   RH> Sort of wish you could have talked with him some more? Every so often I'll   
   RH> read something about somebody I never knew or knew for part of my past   
   RH> life and realise I never knew that. Especially with people I knew; it   
   RH> would have added a new dimension to our friendship.   
      
   Well, i wish i could still talk with him.  An odd bit of trivia: like my   
   grandmother he was left handed and was punished in school if he wrote or   
   drew with his left hand.   
      
   RH> Sounds like she's getting her motor recharged.   
      
   Yes, she is bouncing back nicely now.  She is much more mobile, though i   
   see her making false starts with her jumps.  Something is going on with her   
   hind legs, and i suspect it is neurological.  A friend tells me to make   
   sure she is getting enough taurine, but i doubt that's the problem because   
   she eats grocery store pet food and i've read that's not generally a   
   problem.   
      
   "Since 1987, taurine has been adequately provided in commercially prepared   
   cat foods approved by the American Association of Feed Control Officials   
   (AAFCO)."   
      
   RH> The vet found an   
   RH> older couple, willing to take on a cat with health challenges; they fell   
   RH> in love with Jenny-cat when we brought her to meet them. Hopefully she   
   RH> lived a long, happy life.   
      
   What a wonderful story!   
      
   The indoor cat i mentioned here is a rescue cat, though she didn't have any   
   health problems when she moved in.   
      
   RH> Sounds like what I've done different times. I've made "Monday (or whatever   
   RH> night of the week it's made) Night Surprise" as a clean out odds and ends   
   RH> from the fridge meal. Last night tho, I made rouladen, flank steak pounded   
   RH> thin or round steak cuts, spread with mustard, topped with a dill pickle   
   RH> spear and slice of bacon, then browned, and braised, chopped onion in the   
   RH> braise broth. The broth is made into gravy. Served with red cabbage and   
   RH> mische brot (German sourdough, found at Wegman's. I may cook some noodles   
   RH> to go with the left overs later this week.   
      
   Wow, your leftover fridge cooking turned out to be full-fledged German   
   restaurant food.  I'd invite myself to your table.   
      
   Recently i made cole slaw and put in too much mayo.  I could have added more   
   cabbage to balance it out, but i found another remedy.  I used it as a   
   sandwich topping along with radish and cheese slices.  The cole slaw also   
   has beets and vinegar in it, and the sandwiches are vaguely reminiscent of   
   reuben sandwiches.
