Hi Ruth,

->  RH> it cost $2. Score!

-> Cotton or otherwise?  I'd go for the former, latter depends on what it

 RH> Cotton.

Good deal!

-> is as to if I'd take it or not.  As for new stuff coming into the
-> house--when it's used, the scrap will be properly taken care of (cut
-> down as appropriate).

 RH> I figured.  A piece of wool, once aired out well, is going up on Ebay.
 RH> It's Pendleton of all things, complete with label. Burgundy.


Sounds like you did well.  I'd consider it if it weren't burgundy. A
tomato red or bittersweet red are colors I can wear better.


-> -> there).  Saturday afternoon I made 11 half pints plus a taster of
 RH> plum
-> -> preserves. Looks pretty in the jars and will taste good this winter.
 RH> ->
->  RH> It'll be good in yogurt too.
 RH> ->
-> And other things.  Took more time to prep it than to make the preserves.
-> I had to pit them (used my cherry pitter to give them a start), then
-> chop them up (food processor time) before cooking them.  Steve ladeled
-> them into jars; I sealed them, passed them back to him and he put them
-> into the boiling water bath.  100$% success rate--again.

 RH> Were these prune plums or something larger?

Small red plums, not the bluish-purple ones.  Bigger than a cherry
tomato but small enough that it took a while to pit them.

->  RH> It couldn't hurt.  There were coupons for free McDonald's smoothies

 RH> ->
-> He hit Sonic during Happy Hour--2 for 1 on drinks between the hours of 2
-> & 4.  We get Parade, not USA Weekend so I missed it anyway.

 RH> Oh well. Parade is the better magazine, but this once I'll forgive the
 RH> Hartford Courant for cheaping out.


You got a frebie out of it. Krispy Kreme is offering a BOGO on their
sundaes on bought on Sundays now.

->  RH> Your box is considerably smaller then.  I've never seen a German

-> We got it at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA when Steve
-> was a student there.  Our bbq tools are in a case in the buffet as well
-> so we have to be sure we grab the right thing. (G)

 RH> That could get painful very quickly.

Or, detrimental to the Scrabble set. Don't want to lose any tiles or we
couldn't spell our words.
