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

-> Saves my brain power for more important stuff. (G)

 RH> Like deciding which piece of leftover Halloween chocolate to eat
 RH> first?

Yep!  Bagged up enough for 100+ T or T'ers, had about 35.  And, we
forgot to take the bag of candy we had set aside to the church but they
didn't lack without it.

->  RH> hartshorn was.

-> Yes, but did we ever figure out how much a nickel bought of it whenever
-> the recipe was written?

 RH> Not that I know of.


About my thinking.


->  RH> Mine can't be trusted to do things like grind raisins; we found
->  RH> out the hard way.  Much better to throw them through a hand-cranked

-> I sort of think the old hand job would be the best there.  I'd give the
-> grinder attachment on my KA a try tho instead of the food proccessor.

 RH> Not a bad idea, but I don't have one of those.  The grinder that it.


As long as you have it, may as well use it.


->  RH> Of course.  I need to offload a few hundred myself at some point.

-> We off load from time to time but end up getting more.  Steve is
-> thinking about what commentaries (besides Matthew Henry that he already
-> has) of picking up.  Those are all multi volume units.

 RH> I've seen similar things.  I used to put the OED on my Christmas list,
 RH> but it takes up more shelf space than I have free, and might require
 RH> new
 RH> structural supports in the house for a paper copy. :-)

But you aren't planning on moving (again) in a few years.  Plus we have
to plan room for the rest of the time he's in seminary.

-> It's purpose will come at the right time, for the right person.

 RH> That's happened more than once.  I've had more than one thing sitting
 RH> here with no useful purpose, and then all of a sudden ... thanks, God
 RH> - so
 RH> THAT'S what it's for.

BTDTGTTS.


->  RH> Me too!  I've found a few red rhinestones, but that's about all.

-> It's my birthstone so Steve has given me several over the years.  Some
-> have been tiny ones, surrounding a tiny diamond--I've got several
-> necklaces with various settings of that idea.

 RH> I'm a February baby, and amethysts are cheap.  I do have a few in gold
 RH> settings; I inherited one, got another for Christmas (modern setting,
 RH> can't stand the thing), and got the third in a junk store for a buck
 RH> (oops!).

Fun to get finds like that--and the diamond ring I got for the same
price at a yard sale in Savannah.  Perfect fit too.

->  RH> If it were in better condition; it's got paper losses, stains, etc.


-> You never know; an expert would be able to advise on that one.

 RH> It's a thought.  It's a cool thing no matter what.

Agreed. We've got some of those from our wanderings.
