->  RH> ...or even more broke.  Nice suits COST.
->  
-> I picked up the suits for something like 50 bucks each. Of course,
-> that was when I was in graduate school and working a full-time
-> side job that grossed $96.46 a week (came with free medical care,
-> though).

That free medical care is good stuff.  So are $50 suits.  THese days as far
as I know Brooks Brothers' run around $700 each if not more.
 
->  RH> Then again, you're also male.  Women are judged more harshley on
what
->  RH> they wear under many circumstances.  
-> 
-> Some of us don't do that judgment. We merely judge on speling.

Some can't spel there weigh out of a paper bag.  They're also about 10% of
the male population as far as I can tell.
 
->  RH> I don't know about muscle, but they do fit.  It's the size I wore
in
->  RH> high school too, for that matter. My father played halfback on an
army
->  RH> base football team, back when they still played ironman.  I'm built
->  RH> just like him. 
-> 
-> That's beyond impressive ... frightening, perhaps? Though I've
-> seen you on occasion and find little to be frightened of.

I'm about as frightening as a declawed cat, generally.  
 
->  -> 500 ml Cinnamon Schnapps
->  -> 2 l Squirt (citrus soda)
->  RH> You can keep my share of this too.  It looks like a waste of
perfectly
->  RH> good bourbon to me.
-> 
-> I had a toddy with apple schnapps yesterday. It was, er, interesting.
-> Tried one without, and, you know what, it was worse.
-> 
I'm not sure I've ever had a toddy.  
-> 
->  RH> Amish quilters do it too, because only God creates perfection.
-> 
-> There's a little arrogance in that, though, as it sets up the
-> artisan as the arbiter of perfection.

Possible, but somehow I doubt that was the intent.
 
->  RH> I never have to worry about making a deliberate mistake in mine....
-> 
-> Quiz time, where's the mistake in this recipe:

Let's see.... it posits that Eudora Welty could cook?  Maybe, but something
tells me she didn't do it often.  It uses a prefab pie crust that wasn't put
into production until after she died?  It doesn't start high and finish low,
the way you would for a proper one-crust pie?  It only bakes for 30 minutes?  

Which one did you mean?  
 
-> Eudora Welty's Onion Pie
-> cat: side, holiday
-> yield: 1
-> 
-> 3 lg sweet Spanish onions (Vidalia)
-> 4 ts butter
-> 1 ts flour
-> 2 eggs
-> 1 c whipping cream
-> 1 Pillsbury pie crust
-> Salt and pepper to taste
-> 
-> Shave onions and fry with butter until brown and reduced. Add flour and 
-> stir well. Salt and pepper to taste.
-> 
-> Beat eggs and mix with cream. Fold this mixture into onions until mixed 
-> well.  Pour into pie crust and bake for 30 min at 400F.
