Ärende: New Years gift!
=======================
->  RH> That big a department?
-> 
-> Yep, all of less than (as I recall) 6 machines.  We were in the
-> housewares department, picking up some dish towels, pot holders
-> measuring cups and spoons for the wedding shower when I spotted the
-> sewing machines.  Didn't even bother going over to see what brands they
-> were .

Junk Chinese imports, no doubt.
 
->  RH> Ever use the "Google Cookbook"?  Plug in a set of ingredients, add
->  RH> recipe, and hit enter to see what turns up.  It can be rather
->  RH> entertaining.
-> 
-> 
-> No, I've not tried it but I can imagine the results could be quite
-> interesting.

Occasionally.  Sometimes they're pretty darned funny.  
 
->  RH> Your husband is a neat freak.  He also doesn't eat pork.  Was he
this
->  RH> weird when you married him?
-> 
-> The pork issue came about in summer of 98 when we went thru western NC
-> on our way to Charelston.  Had just gone thru a thunderstorm, the air
-> was very humid and we passed a major hog farm.  We could smell it with
-> the windows up and AC running; Steve said something about "remind me not
-> to eat any more pork/pork products" and, for the most part, he hasn't

That would do it!  (For about half an hour for me, but....)

-> since. He's beginning to relent a bit tho.  The neatness issue is more
-> in the cooking department; other areas aren't as pesnickity.  I think
-> part of it with the crumbs is wanting to make them in the easiest, least
-> messy manner where as I wanted to do them so as not to dirty up too many
-> things for either hand or dishwasher washing.

I'm the one who prefers to hand-chop a head of cabbage rather than cleaning
the food processor.  He sounds like he'd rather spend fifteen minutes
washing and two minutes chopping to the other way 'round. 
 
->  RH> I'm halfway through a blouse and have a bunch of rice bags done.
-> 
-> I've had one shirt in the works for almost a week now. Took a couple of
-> days off to make (from some of the dishtowels & pot holders) a hand
-> drying towel and plastic bag holder for the bride to be. Those and a
-> quilt from the local quilt shop owner wer the only hand mades at the
-> wedding shower yesterday.  I think people in the church are getting an
-> idea of my creative genes. (G)
-> 
I wonder if the name Ruth attracts that sort of thing, or if creative genes
attract women to name their daughters Ruth.... (G)  
 
-> -> Yes, so we learned to do without for several months. Tough but we
made
-> -> it thru.
->  RH> Did you substitute poi? (ducking)
-> 
-> No, just inferior chocolate.  AFAIK, poi doesn't come in chocolate
-> flavor.
-> 
You never know, with fusion cuisine!
 
-> -> Same here.  I ripped out the ACL and medial ligaments (major rip, not
-> -> simple separation tear) and chipped the bones holding them in place
35
-> -> years ago.
-> 
->  RH> Ouch.  Good job.
-> 
-> Blame it on a Porsche.
-> 
Shoulda known - German sports cars are born to be trouble.
 
->  RH> I've never tried the flour, just other things.
-> 
-> I think I bought their soy flour a time or two but generally bought
-> Arrowhead Mills stuff. Found the yeast for whole grains baking at Fresh
-> Market on Saturday cheaper than Kroger--49 cents vs 99 so got several
-> packages.  It works well with the whole wheat flour I use.
-> 
I've used Hodgson's before, but not Bob's.  That I can't find.
