Hi Ruth,

-> Some give it a good try but enjoy playing and help add depth to the
-> team.

 RH> And it doesn't hurt to have someone keeping the bench warm.

Always lots of folks wanting to do that.

-> -> No, but her husband might find some kitchen treasures.

->  RH> He might at that.  She'd get to raid the jewelry too.

-> Win-win situation there. He will find kitchen treasures you might have
-> forgotten about, she might find forgotten jewelry treasures. Your neice
-> will win with both of them.

 RH> Yep - she's already bagging the lot of the family heirloom jewelry.

The only heir(ess) on both sides of the family? Today I wore a pendant
made from a drop Steve found in a box of assorted computer parts and a
pewter colored chain I bought. Nothing fancy, the bezel on the drop was
a bit ornate but the stone was simple. It'll never be an heirloom piece
but goes well with the sweater I wore.

->  RH> That fake chocolate they use on "treats" isn't.  More of a trick.

-> Doesn't even taste like chocolate, IMO.

 RH> Might as well be carob, and might be better if it were.

Carob might have more taste to it. I used to buy it years ago, probably
should get some more and start experimenting with it again. See if I can
come up with a dark chocolate sub that's low carb? Doubt it. (G)

->  RH> I just placed a $40 order on Amazon for some supplies. I wouldn't
->  RH> have, but I had a big credit sitting there and shipping was free.
->  RH> Beats going to the store all the way around.

-> Steve put in an Amazon order, I asked him for a skein of Anchor floss. I
-> thought the charge was high for one but he said it's for a box of 12.
-> Order came, one skein so he called and I will be getting the 12 but have
-> to send the one back. You would think they could just send 11. The rest
-> of the order is for a mixing paddle for the KA mixer.

 RH> They'd have to open a box and probably can't do that.  I just shipped
 RH> a big box full down to the Dominican.

I needed a specific color of Anchor to finish the quilt project. Got
enough to keep me in that color for years on end. BTW, the box with what
was supposed to be the paddle came in--in the box was an ether net hub.
Amazon goofed big time on that one! Steve got it squared away tho.

-> In exchange for the nasty weather gunk?

 RH> Got that too.  The end of the cold triggered the tinnitus and the MS.
 RH> I'm hoping both go away without medical intervention.

Misery loves company. (G)


->  RH> That box mix stuff is OK if you can't get anything else, say in the
->  RH> back woods of Alaska, but otherwise not so much.

-> As long as I have flour and water, I can make a better crust than boxed
-> or frozen pizza ones. Yeast would help but can also do a sourdough one,
-> as I have before. So even in the back woods of Alaska I don't need any
-> boxed or frozen pizza.

 RH> Good thing too.  I've tried making my own sourdough starter here.
 RH> Nothing doing, for some reason.

We've done it with the pinch of yeast & bit of sugar a ffew times, and
yes, IIRC, sometimes also without them. Have to have just the right
conditions but it can be done.

Catch you later,
