That's a nice idea, saving audio of people's voices. I have lots of my Dad because he was recording all of the song circle events, but I wonder if I have any tapes of my mother?

Ice finally retreated into slush and after the post office I picked up the ex for shopping, and finished our expedition at Panda Express. I used to regularly eat there (less now as I avoid sodium). On a whim last November I stopped in to pick up a meal to get some calories into him. The next trip out I took him inside to see the choices, and he's a big fan now. The restaurant is only 4 blocks from his house so food is still hot when he gets it home. He's a Puerto Rican who grew up eating a lot of rice so always gets enough for leftovers.

My food adventure this evening is of a different sort; I pulled out my Middle Eastern cookbook for the basic no-special-equipment yogurt recipe. It's in a large covered bowl wrapped in towels overnight, and will be ready in the morning. If I want Greek yogurt I can strain it a little, and if I wanted yogurt cheese I'd strain it a lot (to the consistency of cream cheese).
