-> The ladies in our church know that they get a diaper bag from me for the
-> first baby they have as a member. We've had a couple of 2nd babies--they
-> get the baby quilt. Helps for the latter that a friend gave me a box of
-> flannel strips left over from her sewing projects. I can put a pot of
-> sauce (for pasta) on the stove after lunch and sew up a bag or blanket
-> before supper.
-> 
Good idea. Flannel baby quilt made of totally random fabrics?  Works for
me.

-> -> We do various charities, usually for food drives tho we "give at the

to

->  RH> It also means you don't have to lift it any further.  That's never
a

-> True, in this case we just left a bag out by the mail box. We set it on
-> an upturned milk crate to keep bugs out of it.

And the hired muscles haul it off.

heritage.

-> We tried one we didn't know was a chain (Shane's Rib Shack) for lunch
-> today. Steve said the bbq chicken in his sandwich was dry, my chopped
-> pork one was wet but not soggy wet. I asked for the cole slaw to be put
-> on the side instead of on top. Decent cole slaw, I've had a lot of worse
-> ones, some better. OTOH, Steve said his baked beans were just beans,
-> with some onion added. Overall, an OK place if we're in the area
-> (Raleigh) but if we want bbq, there are better places in WF (and
-> Raleigh). It won't be our first choice but it was worth trying out. The
-> "atmosphere" was industrial basic tho they had some (probably mock)
-> tongue & groove paneling in spots. Price was for 2 small combos
-> (sandwich, side & 20 oz drink) was about comparable to most fast food
-> places.

Cheap eats have their place too.  My lunch was free; I had a missions 
meeting and someone brought in leftover sandwiches from a big meeting the 
day before.  I brought in a lemon cake with a penuche frosting - butter, 
evaporated milk, brown sugar, stir forever.
