   Hi Ben,   
      
   RH> there, that area got 18 inches. Anyway, we stayed in; I made chicken soup   
   RH> on Saturday and split pea soup yesterday. The snow is melting off but   
   RH> possibility of black ice tonight/tomorrow morning is keeping us home for a   
   RH> few more days.   
      
    BC> Wow, sounds like you're having a real heat wave.   
    BC> "Oh Susanna don't you cry."   
    BC> I don't blame you for staying in.   
      
   The snow is gradually melting off but today's high is supposed to be   
   about 35 degrees. A warming trend is to follow; we may hit the 60s next   
   week.   
      
      
    BC> It's been warm here this week.  I took the chainsaw to some pine   
    BC> branches and tree-sized photinia trunks.  Yesterday i took the pruning   
    BC> saw to the fig tree and got quite a workout.  I got about half way   
    BC> through and i'm optimistic about finishing the job today.   
      
   We had some bush pruning done a couple of weeks ago but Steve still has   
   to prune the fig tree and flower beds before they start putting out new   
   growth. I'll put a bug in his ear about doing it the latter part of this   
   month as we'll be gone for a bit, mid month.   
      
      
   RH> I've got a slightly different version of rhubarb bars I'll have to dig up   
   RH> and post. It has ginger, both candied and powdered in it, nicely   
   RH> complimenting the rhubarb.   
      
    BC> I searched my database and i don't think i have that recipe yet.  The   
    BC> ginger sounds like a nice touch.   
      
   It is; I don't know if I'll find it before we go away because my mind   
   set will be on what has to go into the camper. There are 2 pot lucks at   
   the gathering we're going to so I have to make sure I have ingredients   
   (so I don't have to buy them elsewhere) and tools. I'll be doing the   
   crockpot goulash I found the recipe for last month; we have an Instant   
   Pot (not the name brand) in the camper already. I'll post the recipe for   
   that also.
