Ärende: weighing in on bags
===========================
Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I have one for Ebay, but it won't register anything under five
 RH> grams.
->  RH> It works nicely as a mail scale though.

-> Ours zeroes out & we can weigh anything from one gram up.  Handy little
-> widget to keep around.

 RH> Sounds like.  It would be great for spices.

Those are measured by the eyeball. "Looks good to me" sort of measure.
I've got one German cook book that uses egg weight for some of their
baked goods.  The premise is, if everything is so many weights of the
eggs (one egg, actually) you're using, then it's in correct proportion.
I guess if you need more than one egg, you take the average of the
weights.

-> Both our grand kids have blue eyes.  David's are blue, I've got a blue
-> recessive gene, Steve's eyes are hazel.  Rachel's are brown but she must
-> have gotten the recessive blue.

 RH> We must have a recessive blue around somewhere too. My sister and I
 RH> both have green eyes.  Mom's are blue-green and my Dad's were brown.
 RH> It still looks funny.

Your dad must have had a parent with blue or green eyes.

->  RH> I've been known to use a chef's knife as a paring knife a time or
 RH> two.

-> Handy when the paring knife is in the dishwasher. (G)

 RH> Or when you don't feel like cleaning more than one knife.

That too. (G)

->  RH> Occasionally, but they're usually snagged by the family.

-> Depends on the family.  Most of mine would say "get rid of that junk".

 RH> Mine would be gleefully yelling "dibs"!

I could see that.

-> No vintage ear rings or too many to wear?

 RH> No vintange non-14K or better earrings.  My family runs to metal
 RH> allergies, but I'm OK as long as I don't have a raw hole/contact
 RH> somewhere.

Not fun.  Putting holes in the ears would cause big time allergic
reactions then.

->  RH> Smooth plastic sides, or the nonwoven fabric ones?

-> Feels like polyester.

 RH> It's probably nylon, but close enough.  Poly wouldn't be strong
 RH> enough.

Whatever, they're useable.  Saw on the news the other night that Target
will start giving a nickle per bag for customers that bring their own.


-> drives anyway, my dad is hesitant to have her "drive" one of those.  Too
-> bad they don't make a 2 seater.

 RH> One for the driver, and one for the back seat driver.

Exactly.  With a basket in front of each person so twice the amount of
groceries can be bought.

->  RH> Definitely not.  Someone mentioned eating bat recently (off-line)
 RH> and
->  RH> I mentioned that I had some bat recipes around somewhere from the
->  RH> Seychelles. Never managed to find one to cook, although I wouldn't

-> There are some parts of this country that have lots of bats.  But, I
-> don't think you're close to any and I don't think the bats are sold for
-> food.

 RH> We want the bats around to eat the bugs, especially mosquitos, instead
 RH> of eating them.

You don't want to eat a bat that's eaten a lot of musquitoes?  Can't see
why not.
