Hi Ruth,

->  RH> But Target doesn't have a sewing department.
 RH> ->
-> I know, sigh!  But, they do sell sewing machines--saw the display the

 RH> I've never seen one, but then again I haven't looked.

Don't blink, you'll miss it.

->  RH> Next time I might even use a recipe!

-> What are they? (G)

 RH> THey're in these books I have taking up space in my spare bedroom....

I'm still "missing" a box of cook books; it's in the storeage room
somewhere. But, I've got the ones I use most of the time plus MM so I'm
not at a total loss.

-> Steve didn't think I got the gingersnap crumbs crushed fine enough so he
-> used the blender on them. Said next time I ought to use the food
-> proccesser attachment that came with it to do the crumbs.  We'll see.

 RH> I use a rolling pin.

That's what I used.

->  RH> It's a good thing you're a quilter!

-> Yep! That's on hold for now but hopefully will resume in a week of so.

 RH> I have part of one done, but it's on hold pending a bunch of other
 RH> stuff.

I've got plans for a bunch more but have some garment sewing I need to
do first. Steve wants a new windbreaker for one.


-> The good kind (Dove) was never shipped in summer.

 RH> Too expensive to airlift and it would melt if they shipped it another
 RH> way.

Yes, so we learned to do without for several months. Tough but we made
it thru.

->  RH> Smart grandma.

-> Yes, very.  She's having foot surgery next week--tore a tendon on the
-> treadmill.

 RH> Ouch.  That's one I've never managed.  Ligament yes, but no tendons.

Same here.  I ripped out the ACL and medial ligaments (major rip, not
simple separation tear) and chipped the bones holding them in place 35
years ago.

->  RH> Sounds good to me too.  I had baked Tilapia for dinner, with some
->  RH> italian-style veggies I'd hoked up and whole wheat linguini.  The
->  RH> veggies were the good part.
 RH> ->
-> Did the linguini have any sort of sauce?  That'll help it.

 RH> The veggies were the sauce - a ton of liquid cooked off and it made
 RH> the linguini taste pretty good.

OK, sounds good to me.  I sometimes make my pasta sauce using fresh
tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, peppers and garlic.  Yummy!

-> before Steve went into the Army--ordered a grain mill. It should be here
-> tomorrow and hopefully I'll no longer have to fuss about inferior flour.

 RH> Ever tried something called Bob's Red Mill?  It's supposed to be
 RH> pretty decent.

I've had some of their products and they are pretty good.
