===========================
Happy New Year Michael!
May your wallet be fatter and your waist thinner by the end of the year!

->  HN> clean...imagine what I'd  do with 4800 square feet! 
-> 
-> If you could afford 4800 sf, you could afford a maid.

If "I" could afford 4800sf, I'd have 2000 and not need a maid! 
Well......ok, maybe I'd still need a maid....I mean I need one now I
think....but 
none want to work for free (grin)

->  HN> Most people don't think about energy bills when they look at those
->  HN> huge high  ceiling'd buildings...They are nice in the summer
-> 
-> I can't believe how imprudent people are ... or how the
-> banks and mortgage companies get away with encouraging
-> said imprudence. It's a sin, and it should be a crime.
-> 
I think you're right! But then Usery isn't a crime anymore so the box is sorta 
open now isn't it?!

->  HN> though...all that heat rises  and you can stay cooler at floor

->  HN> heating the rafters 20 feet up! 
-> 
-> What about living downstairs in the summer and upstairs in
-> the winter, and having a big house in spring and fall?
-> 
That may be what they do! Personally if it were me, I'd have radiant heat in 
the floors and enjoy the warm toes!

->  HN> I do that as well....but still blanch them first....same for you? I
->  HN> seldom  use them unblanched, but I'm certainly willing to give it a try

->  
-> Blanched is good, but if you slice them into, say, 1/4" thick
-> coins, then stew them in butter in a single layer, that stage
-> is unnecessary. In either case, a splash of Sherry helps a lot.
-> 
Hmmm that does sound good....I'll give that one a try!

This one looks slightly interesting....and it gives me an idea that I may try 
today....a gratin of potatoes and brussels sprouts......hmmmm
chat with you soon
