Hi Ruth,

-> I'll just leave them for others; I prefer my cabbage in other ways than

 RH> Roasted with olive oil and balsamic vinegar... mmmmm.  This time of
 RH> year? Cole slaw.  I used to love the way my school did it with an oil
 RH> and vinegar dressing when I was a kid.  I've never been able to
 RH> duplicate it since, probably because I don't start with 50 pounds of
 RH> cabbage.

Good reason why you probably couldn't duplicate it then. We like it with
pineapple in, a bit of pineapple juice, sugar, s&p and mayo as dressing.

->  RH> On the other hand, that quilting scrap from last week might be the
->  RH> applique piece you needed this week.

-> Not a problem with the stash I have.  I'll resume the cut down project
-> when we get back to NC; I may finish the general cottons before classes
-> start again on August 19.

 RH> I should do it to the cashmere sweaters and other bulky stuff, but
 RH> don't want it to fray or ravel before I use it.

Run a tight (about 12-15 stitches per inch) line of stitching wth the
sewing machine just behind where you want to cut it.  It'll fray or
ravel back to that line and then go no further.


 I do have a flannel
 RH> quilt top cut, and thankfully with central air I can sew on it.

I haven't been able to work on Sarah's cotton quilt this week--no
central air at Steve's brother's place.  Only the filling is not cotton
but still with days in the 90s and high humidity, it's too hot to work
on a quilt.

 RH> Ironing another
 RH> one... not so much.

No fun, even with central air.

->  RH> Capital...

-> Big one there.  You need it to get more kitchen widgets.

 RH> Businesses don't generally make a profit until the second year.  If
 RH> you don't have enough money to make it through that first year, you're
 RH> toast.

I've read that the first 5 years determine the make or break.  Of course
in today's economy, it is probably less time to the breaking point.

-> -> you're not going to see it again if you buy a replacement.

->  RH> ...whereas you probably never will if you don't?

-> It's always possible.

 RH> It's happened before.  I've lost earrings in this house that haven't
 RH> turned up yet 20 years later.  On the other hand, I have about two
 RH> dozen pair of earrings with no space to store them in any jewelry box.
 RH>  That one that vanished is no loss.

What about your favorite wooden spoon or other kitchne gadget?  Do they
tend to wander but return home?  Usually mine do but there have been
exceptions to that rule.
