Hi Ruth,

-> Good reason why you probably couldn't duplicate it then. We like it with
-> pineapple in, a bit of pineapple juice, sugar, s&p and mayo as dressing.

 RH> I've never liked the pineapple version.  The mayo version isn't my
 RH> favorite either.

But it's our favorite.  We're not too thrilled with the oil/vinegar type
dressings.  To each her own taste.



->  RH> I should do it to the cashmere sweaters and other bulky stuff, but
->  RH> don't want it to fray or ravel before I use it.

-> Run a tight (about 12-15 stitches per inch) line of stitching wth the
-> sewing machine just behind where you want to cut it.  It'll fray or
-> ravel back to that line and then go no further.

 RH> I may have to do that.  And unlike my usual MO I'll have to toss the
 RH> scrap. Generally I use those pieces too.

Save decent size scraps.


->  I do have a flannel
->  RH> quilt top cut, and thankfully with central air I can sew on it.

-> I haven't been able to work on Sarah's cotton quilt this week--no
-> central air at Steve's brother's place.  Only the filling is not cotton
-> but still with days in the 90s and high humidity, it's too hot to work
-> on a quilt.

 RH> Well, that was wishful thinking.  It's still sitting.

It's cooling off now but it's also 10:40 at night.  Too late to haul out
the quilt and do any work.


->  RH> Ironing another

-> No fun, even with central air.

 RH> Definitely not. I was outside for quite a while this morning, stupid
 RH> me, and I'm still paying for it.

But today was just beautiful! Just right for indoor/outdoor activities
at the school.


->  RH> Businesses don't generally make a profit until the second year.  If

-> I've read that the first 5 years determine the make or break.  Of course
-> in today's economy, it is probably less time to the breaking point.

 RH> You have to be able to get credit for that length of time or have
 RH> savings. Or both.  These days that's a lot harder.

For sure!

->  RH> turned up yet 20 years later.  On the other hand, I have about two
->  RH> dozen pair of earrings with no space to store them in any jewelry
 RH> box.
->  RH>  That one that vanished is no loss.

-> What about your favorite wooden spoon or other kitchne gadget?  Do they
-> tend to wander but return home?  Usually mine do but there have been
-> exceptions to that rule.

 RH> They wander as far as the kitchen sink.  That's about it.

That's about the the extent of it with my kitchen stuff too. The place
is too small for things to wander too far.  We're still, tho, after a
year plus in the place, trying to remember where we've squirreled away
all the little widgets like corn on the cob holders, strawberry hullers,
etc.  Open this drawer, scrabble thru--nope--close thedrawer, repeat
with the next until either the widget is found or we run out of drawers.
