Hi Ruth,


-> Due to moving every so often, mine's not quite that bad.  I thinned out
-> some this past spring in a donation for Project Linus.  I'll probably go
-> thru it again before we move.

 RH> I dropped some stuff of at my church for the clothes closet (free
 RH> giveaway) we do every month ... and found more quilting fabric.  One
 RH> piece really isn't quilting cotton, but will make a nice back for a
 RH> half-finished whatsit I found there _last_ month.  Both pieces, put
 RH> together, will get redonated next month.  I keep trying to thin out
 RH> the herd, but the pile just keeps growing.

The fun of living in a house & knowing you're not moving.


-> Chicken may not be a vegetable but a lot can be done with it to go well
-> with vegetables.  We don't buy nearly as much red meat as we used to
-> but have increased the amount of poultry we do buy.

 RH> And decreased the fish, alas?  Hawaii would have had me spoiled but
 RH> good.

Decreased the amount we cook but still eat a fair amount of seafood.


->  RH> I was thinking of a dip method.

-> Dip, and then wrap the wrist, first in plastic, then a towel.  That was
-> part of my initial therapy for them.  It worked quite well.

 RH> I can see where that kind of rigamarole would require two people.


It does but that was the first step toward rehabbing my wrists from the
initial break.


->  RH> Then again crows would eat politician if it was dead when they got
->  RH> there.


-> Don't know about crows; dead politicians are usually buzzard food.

 RH> I'm not sure if even a buzzard would touch that.

As I won't touch that line.

->  RH> Salt doesn't stick to plain air-popped at all.  Pam sounds like a good
->  RH> idea.

-> It is good--less calories but lets seasonings stick to it.  I'm half
-> thinking that we got the idea from someone here, years ago but don't
-> remember who or when.

 RH> It wouldn't surprise me.  I don't do a lot of popcorn of any sort, so
 RH> it wasn't from me.


Somebody may speak up.  If it wasn't in here, then probably a magazine
somewhere.  We don't do as much popcorn as we used to but enough so that
we bought a stove top popper last fall.  The air popper stayed in HI & I
didn't want Steve using my good pots.  He did try it once using a method
Alton Brown demonstrated on "Good Eats" ......a stainless steel bowl
covered with foil.  It worked fairly well, actually.
