   Hi Ben,

    BC> How'd drive-in style service treat you?   
      
   Actually our church had enough property that we were able to sit   
   outside, tho somewhat scattered, but all within a relatively confined   
   space. We also did broadcast over a low power radio station if you did   
   want to sit in your vehicle but most of us preferred to sit outside and   
   somewhat mingle. Of the 20 weeks we were outside, it only started to   
   rain once, right after services ended so we stayed dry. We also met an   
   hour earlier than the normal time so we weren't outside in the heat of   
   the day.

   We tend to go for smaller congregations where we get to know more   
   people, better. We did join, for a few months until we were transferred   
   elsewhere, a good sized church in TX; IIRC, it had 1,000+/- members and   
   a couple of Sunday morning services. Overall, the smaller churches have   
   been our norm.   
      
   BC>       Title: Bluenose Strawberry Soup   
      
   RH> How did "bluenose" get into the title? I don't see anywhere where it

    BC> The recipe came from a cookbook titled The Strawberry Connection and

   OK, sounds like as good a reason as any. We'll be getting fresh   
   strawberries in the next few months; I'll have to check my supply of   
   strawberry jam, see if I need to make some this year. My MIL gave me a   
   strawberry pie recipe decades ago that I try to make at least once (if   
   not more) during strawberry season.
