Ärende: soup's on!
==================
Hi Ruth,

-> the stronger flavors if you want the chicken or veal taste to be
-> noticeable.  I generally use about a 1:1 ratio of ground meats so I can
-> use a fattier one if I've got a super lean one to counter balance it.

 RH> I've had veal now and then; does the modern version even have a taste?

Don't know, haven't had any in years that wasn't covered with marinara
sauce & mozzarella cheese. (G)

->  RH> scissors.

-> I have lots of them, and a couple of rotary cutters.  Too busy to use

 RH> I have a rotary cutter too, but it's easier to use a shears on old
 RH> clothes.

Depends on the size of them and what areas you want cut up.  For some
parts, I'd go for the rotary cutter as first choice.

-> progress I've made in just 6 months of working at it very part time.
-> I'll sew up a couple of sundresses for Sarah after the semester ends
-> (end of May); that'll use a few yards (dress & lining, panties).

 RH> I've just rediscovered some partially finished baby and art quilts
 RH> that I'd all but forgotten I ever started.  Getting those fixed will
 RH> eat up some of the stash.

Yes, and generate ideas for using more of it.


->  RH> I use all the bits and pieces and crazy-quilt it sometimes.  It's a
->  RH> good way to use up the random bits.

-> I dn't have a lot of fleece bits, mostly yardage.  Got rid of all the
-> really small bits before we left GA.

 RH> Awww - well, you can always cut up yardage.

I will--into jackets and then the remnants into a crazy quilt maybe.
I've got a small piece of a yellow lady bug print I might make into a
Sarah sized vest--or add solid sleeves for a jacket.

-> He probably stays up late enough--school, working for the church and
-> Papa John's, homework, probably a bit more housework to help his wife.
-> IOW, he doesn't need the practice staying up late.

 RH> Oh, OK.  Good enough for the time being.  He'll be really knackered
 RH> when he has a screaming baby waking him up four times a night.

Time will tell.  By then, Steve will be taking 6 hours of credit thru
the Equipping Center at the church, doing whatever he's assigned.  Maybe
some of that will include giving grandfatherly advice to the 2 new dads.
(G)

Steve put Skype on to my dad's computer so we've had chats the last
couple of nights with Rachel & kids.  My folks have really enjoyed being
able to see Robert & Sarah (and Rachel & kitty Lou).
