====================
-> -> I've baked plenty myself. I was also a Brownie, Intermediate (before
-> -> they revised the program in the mid 60s), Junior, Cadette, (Both
under
-> -> the new program) and Senior (revised program). I've also been a
leader
-> -> at various times, altogether about 20 years in the program. Wouldn't
-> -> touch it now with a 20 foot pole, advised our daughter not to get her
-> -> girls involved in it.
-> 
->  RH> I have no idea what it's like now, and since my daughters have four
->  RH> feet and
->  RH> meow it's not likely to be a problem.
-> 
-> They revised it again some years ago. Now it's ultra left, liberal,
-> super femiinist. Only thing they've kept seems to be the cookies but
-> we've not even bought those in several years.
-> 
The boys meanwhile get roundly criticized for being too conservative.   

-> -> I have some of the string bags but prefer the canvas type. Don't have 
to
-> 
->  RH> Me too - nothing falls through the holes!
-> 
-> Over stuff them and things would. But, a lot more can be put in them
-> than the flimsy plastic bags you get at a lot of grocery stores. Most of
-> the time if I've got a choice of paper or plastic, I'll go for the
-> former (if I don't have my own). I get enough plastic other places; we
-> just donated a bag of bags (both types) to the Sharing Shop, second time
-> we've done that this school year.

Mine go to church; we use them for donated day old bread.
 
-> -> easier to kick (but it doesn't move). Now if we could combine the
good
-> -> features of both..................................
-> 
->  RH> I'd still end up not using either. ;-)
-> 
-> I'd hunt them down if I knew they were available but not visible. Beats
-> standing on bare floor any day.
-> 
I've seen them around, but the only place I really need them are places I 
can't haul them.  Church and estate sales. 
 
-> -> More often I'll scrape the knife against the plate--don't want to
risk
-> -> cutting my tongue. (G)
-> 
->  RH> Depending on the knife, it can be avoided.
-> 
-> Still, not a good idea with a family (not yours) heirloom.

True.
 
-> -> Don't know much about them; their sewing machines are supposed to be
-> -> really good tho. It's one brand I don't have.
-> 
->  RH> The regular ones are; I don't know about sergers.
-> 
-> I should think so but then again, you never know. My serger is a
-> different brand than any of my (4) sewing machines; it has the air jet
-> threading (exclusive to Baby Lock) that I really appreciate. Plus, no
-> tensions to mess up.
-> 
There is that; my old Singer is a little temperamental in that area.
 
-> Yes, saw the movie twice within a few weeks when we were stationed in
-> Berlin. Once was down in Bavaria, at one of the American R&R plaves but
-> I had a collapsed lung and bronchitis so it hurt to laugh. A few weeks
-> later, it came to Berlin and I was feeling better so we took the girls.
-> They'd seen some of the old tv shows so appreciated the movie.
-> 
I never really liked the series much, so it didn't appeal to me.
 
->  RH> I did roasted asparagus, sweet potato fries and pot roast. Not the
->  RH> fanciest,
->  RH> but I think I killed off half a pound of asparagus in one sitting.
->  RH> There are worse things to overeat.
-> 
-> We polished off a good sized bag of kale between the 2 of us tonight, as
-> well as some tortellini with onion, pepper, garlic, mushroom & tofu
-> sauce.
-> 
Ever make kale chips?  I got to sample some in a raw foods place recently.  
They were pretty good.
