Hi Dave,

Especially watch out for those blackberry seeds.

When, and if, the time comes, I will. Did get a Water Pik a while ago;

Never messed about with ne of those. Nor the waxed string (floss). A
tooth pick (wood or plastic( and brusking with and up & down stroke
rather than the more usual (ad easier) to & fro that most use took
care of the bits and pieces in the cracks.

I do the up and down also but there's those odd bits that don't like to
come out except with a bit of help.

I did the dental visits. But I had teeth break for no known reason, Or

Must be something genetic or from your years as a smoker.

Whatever, it's a fact of life. My niece has horrid teeth that her
dentist blames on my brother's service in Vietnam and exposure to
Agent Orange.It seems that can cause a genetic shift

Why am I not surprised?

Here's a recipe I'm going to try with my bread machine. I may add some ground caraway - as I said I like the flavour. And I might play with
the rye to white ratio. Or sub whole wheat for the bread flour. Bv)=

Don't use any more rye flour as it has no gluten. The bread flour has
more gluten than white or whole wheat so if you use one of those, you might want to add a tablespoon or so of powdered gluten. Voice of experience. (G)

Thanks for the head's up.

Glad to pass on knowledge to aspiring bread bakers.

I'm not really a baker. But, every so often I get frisky, Other than
the breakfast toast and burger buns ..... oh, and the cinnamon rolls
at the Golden Corral breakfast buffet.

We don't have a GC in town any more, closed during Covid. Now it's a
ghost kitchen for several restaurants. You have to call them order,
then go over to the GC to pick your food up.

Our G.C. began life as a Golden Corral steakhouse franchise. Then
switched franchises to "Maverick Steak House" and finally transitioned back to Golden Corral as a buffet. And in a different, much larger
place.

Ours closed, had been a buffet for years. I preferred the old
concept--go thru line to order every thing, then find a seat and it will
be brought to you. Western Sizzlin' had that plan also, but they closed
some years ago. It was one of our favorite places to go to in
Jacksonville, NC when we wanted something special.

Only thing I've baked for a while has been frozen pizza. Bv)= Or Papa Murphy's. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

We baked a pita pizza Friday night--pizza using a pita bread for the crust. Worked well for the 2 of us--6 slices (2 put aside for my lunch yesterday) and a salad made a filling meal for us.

Off to the pulmonologist this ayem to get him to give mw a script for
a home oxygen concentrator and a porta-pack to carry along when out of
the house. I had that set-up for more than a year but things improved
to the point I didn't see the need to tie up equipment I didn't really need. And two years down the road things have changed dramatically - I can't walk into the kitchen for a glas of water or cup of coffee and
back to my computer without running out of air. I'ts the tiniest bit scary. Bv)=

Hope all goes well. I've been on O2 at night for a couple of years now,
just got bumped up to 3 lpm from 2, had a CT scan on Monday. Results
showed some more deteroraton since the last one done, in August of last
year.
