    Sorry guys ! I was out of the city just  had gone to my native place. I came back only on 8th evening. I mised you all in the midst of hectic  office duty .. year ending  presure  is too  huge. Now I am bunking  from  my duty and writing my post closing my office  room door.  Funny life. But remain  another 8 years  to get retired.

    Sheila - yes, that is the one.  I did use leg and cut it in approx 1.5-2 inch pieces.  I have enough lamb left to pull together some lamb stew tomorrow night.

    It's 1:45 a.m. and I am up because just before we went to bed, the earthquake struck in Japan.  We have just been added to the tsunami advisory which is less than a warning, so no significant impact expected.  I worry for those in Hawaii, it will hit there in a few hours. I also worry a bit for the fishermen in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

    Chris - I didn't really learn to cook in the real sense till the kids with their fussy taste buds were grown up.  I still have one who only eats steak, chicken, potatoes, carrots, broccoli and bread.  Tzatziki is a sauce made of grated cucumber, plain yogurt and dill.  Souvlaki is just a Greek designation for shish kebab really.  So don't worry, you have years before you would even consider joining the planet,wait till the kids are gone :)

    Maybe I can't sleep from arimidex?

    DD called 1:30am to let me know about Tsunami.

    They are 2 miles off shore of Waikiki. She called back an hour later that watch was changed to warning.

    They are safe where they are (just passed the danger zone)

    Meece & Diane are you okay?.

    LOL Diane, it started a long time ago.  Technically I wasn't ditched since parents cannot attend the District Finals.  They take a bus to the finals.  But I think I can go to the State finals and I am SURE I will be ditched there.

    Nice to see you Raj!!  8 years! yay!!

    Diane, were you up all night?  You too Sheila.  Glad to her she is safe!

    I am far enough inland, that although we are only 400 ft above sea level, it would take a  Tsunami much higher to affect us.  Whew!

    Napa has lots of culinary things to do, golf, picnicking, train rides beautiful scenery, wildlife sanctuary, performing arts, etc..

    I went to bed, just woke up actually.  It is now a warning rather than advisory, so far less danberous.

    I am glad your daughter and SO are safe!

    No, thankfully in the south.  One of the other BC.org members used to live near him, and her contacts say they are okay.  You gotta know he knows I want to hear from him.

    We are under under an advisory warning here.  Police spent the night advising beach front and marina residents to move inland.  I am concerned about friends that live on a sail boat at the marina.  Of course, there are reports of some fools on the beach to see the waves up close.  So far no big waves here.  We live inland far enough not to be concerned about the expected tides.

    Meece - Watching paint dry is more interesting as far as I'm concerned.

    I don't understand.  It would have been about 10 pm my time when it happened, he could have called.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    I understand that Okinawa is just fine from the internet.  I realize it is like 2 am right now, so I guess I might hear from him in another 4 hours or so, unless his unit was mobilized to give support.

    Just got off the phone with my little critter.  He said they haven't felt any of the earthquakes including the bad one.  They also are on Tsunami watch, but everything is okay.  He was waiting until morning to call.  Whew!
