Ärende: Popcorn Pots
====================
Hi Dave,

 DD> REPOSTED

So Fido has had a case of "burps" again.  We all have to deal with those
burps every now & again.

 DD> get another pot and bin the one with the stuck-on popcorn - a bad case
 DD> of the stubborns took over. A week or so of off again - on again work
 DD> and a couple boxes of Brillo pads later the darned thing looked too
 DD> good to use for popcorn. Which is how I made my first acquaintance of
 DD> the West Bend Stir Crazy electric popper.

 RH> So, do you still have & use that pot?  I think we all get those
 RH> stubborn streaks every now and then where we're determined not to let
 RH> the pot or whatever get the best of us.

 DD> It went to Texas with my last live-in girl friend after we got her

And I'm sure you reach for it at least once a week.

 DD> daughter married off. I was a great pasta pot (among other things).
 DD> The vented lid locked in two positions. If you locked it with the
 DD> vents open you could tip it over the sink and drain your pasta without
 DD> having to use a tennis racket or colander or whatever.

Handy; I've seen pots similar to that but never had the urge to buy one.
I dump my pasta into a strainer (colander) 99% of the time; the other 1%
I'll use a flat hand held widget.  That's for small amounts of pasta
only.

 DD> And that's the way "community" is supposed to work. Sadly, much of the
 DD> world is too taken up with a "Me First, Screw You" attitude.

 RH> A lot of the world is, yes, but there are pockets where the idea of
 RH> community works as it should.

 DD> And aren't they a pleasant surprise?

It's the norm in a lot of the circles we move in.  Still, there are
unexpected surprises--like the discount that Lowe's (the hardware big
box store) gives retired military.  Texas steakhouse does too (a
different chain from Texas Roadhouse).
