Hi Hap,

-> I did see some at W-M, more in GA than up here so it may have been an
-> idea that just didn't catch on. They were one time useable in a regular
-> oven as well; when I cooked a lot before my radiation started, I used
-> them to freeze/heat a lot of the meals in.

 HN> Never been in a W-mart and won't so no

I forgot to look in Lowe's but pretty sure nothing there. Did see Dave's
suggestion about pressed paper which is basically what these dishes
were.


-> Depends on the size, quantitiy of what I'm cooking and if I want to be
-> able to microwave reheat or otherwise.

-> Got a new small appliance today. Our waffle iron (cord) was showing its
-> plate George Foreman grill, originally about $150. on sale for about
-> half price. Add in the 30% discount and we paid $59. & change for a
-> multi tasker. We used it tonight to cook some boneless butterflied pork

Guess ours gets a bit more use than yours. This makes #3 since we've
been married but #1 was a hand me down with the old cloth wrapped cord
IIRC.

-> starting with H, it would be a simple mark to distinguish my pies.
-> Actually, the 2 lines are sort of off set by a bit parallel.

Cut the middle one on too much of a diagonal and it could be an "N" as
well. (G)

->  HN> I seldom get to sit around in a classroom
->  HN> any more!

-> I don't have too much more time doing that but expect I will be in a lot

-> and machine) at the seminary next month. Don't know which one I'll teach

 HN> Yep...get used to it!! My grandfather used

 HN> My Grandmother did not disagree!

At least I won't be playing piano for services--don't know how to but
can read music.

->  HN> If we end up needing to replace our

-> Just make sure you get a big enough heat pump/AC unit to do the job
-> properly. The one they put on this house is undersized so has to work
-> extra hard on really cold or really hot days--drives up the electric
-> bill.

 HN> We have a small house, 1100 square feet.
 HN> so I don't imagine I'll have to get an
 HN> industrial sized one!

No, but our house is only about 1000 s.f. but the heat pump/AC unit is
definately undersized for the job.
