Ärende: one meat ball!

Hi Ruth!

I'm pretty sure now she's using regular bulk whole wheat flour now...

That sounds similar to what she did.. though she may have just skipped the
pastry flour now, for the cookies too.. I'll have to ask her.  I know they buy
supplies in very large bulk because you know, she's buying for 3 voraciously
hungry growing boys and she and her husband.. so they go through quite a bit..

ouch.. That's bad.. my mom had some damage to her's years back and I know how
that bothered her :(

Maybe some Arthritis there in the knee.. :(

Sure.. and lots of rain lately? That would kick things up.. we kind of live on
Anacin around here it seems some days :(  Or at least it seems that way
sometimes (g).

No, I haven't.

No, I've never used one to do that.  I've always rolled them by hand too. I
agree with you, it wouldn't pack them as well :)  MeatBlob? :)

Well, the picnic will give you a chance to see the KA up close so you can
compare it to some of the other mixers out there we were talking about
earlier.. like the Bausch (think that was one of them wasn't it? I forget now
:)).. There was another one you were looking at as well that I can't remember
the name of though ..darn (g).


Take care,
Janis
