-> -> Ginghers? Drool!  I've got a couple of pairs of them in my collection
of

to

-> 
-> Same with me and my Soft Touch Fiskars for cutting out.  Trim work is
-> done with the Ginghers 99% of the time.
-> 
I have no idea why; it just works that way.  

-> -> the other is ergonomic, left handed specific. (G)
-> 
->  RH> That would tend to cut down on mistakes.  I always cut right-handed
->  RH> unless it's with a knife blade.  These days it's just easier.
-> 
-> With scissors or shears, I cut right handed, all other cutting is left
-> handed. Well, with a table knife, I use it right handed--continental
-> style.  Beats the shifting back and forth way of cutting/eating I was
-> taught as a kid.
-> 
I shift at random.  I've found myself cutting rightie at the table without
realizing I was doing it.  
 
-> -> I'd rather have a sugar maple; they're pretty in the fall.
-> 
->  RH> Me too, but swamp maple is what grows around here.
-> 
-> Beats no maple.

Beats pine trees!  Landscapers plant them because they grow quickly, but
they also take down houses and cars quickly when they fall over in an ice
storm or something. 
 
-> -> Sounds like it. Misty would be about 5 sometime this spring or summer
I
-> -> think.
-> 
->  RH> The Fruit/Crab cake died circa 1999.  Her legend lives on.  The cat
->  RH> was a klutz.
-> 
-> Misty's not a klutz but Kitty Kong on the railroad lay out.
-> 
My cat was both!
 
->  RH> The whole wheat part would make a difference, I guess.  But soft
wheat
->  RH> pastas, at least the commercial ones, are usually pretty nasty.
-> 
-> I can see why.  I've never tried pasta making with soft wheat.

I found semolina in my local job lot store yesterday. Go figure.
 
-> ->  RH> No one else was ever that teenaged.
->  RH> ->
-> -> One was an adult.
-> 
->  RH> Since when does that mean anything?  Put two brothers together,
->  RH> regress to 4th grade!
-> 
-> This was uncle & nephew.
-> 
Same difference!  
 
-> ->  RH> I used the crock pot.  An all day cooking time turned the peas
to

-> ->  RH> without a blender.
-> 
-> -> I'd still probably do something to smooth it out.
-> 
->  RH> I never bother; I like it a bit chunky.
-> 
-> Depends on how ambitious I am--and how much time I've been on my feet
-> when the soup is ready.
-> 
Or how much the MS is cranking up on any given day...(grouse)
 
-> ->  RH> the meat, but I love the gravy!
->  RH> ->
-> -> Sounds good; I may do one more before we leave this area.  Got some
red

-> 
->  RH> It's good stuff.  We killed the latkes, but actually had leftover
->  RH> gravy.
-> 
-> So put it on regular pancakes.  Steve learned that from his dad.
-> 
Hmmmmm - it's a thought.  Or biscuits.  Biscuits and sauerbraten gravy,
it's what's for breakfast
