Hi Ruth,

Yes, he is quiet :)  took him a while to get used to all the hubbub at my
parents home  :)  But pumpkin bread is favorite cake of all time.. oops, also
angelfood (bg).

> I try to stay in as much as I can when it's really hot/humid. Some days

Same here, though the humidity hits my sinuses more than anything else.

Perfect weather for that treat :)

Sure :)  Whatever works best for a person.  Do you have to peel it when you
cook it in the pressure cooker?

They come in all sizes, etc., as you've probably seen.. maybe one of the type
that is a strip that sits off to the side?  Of course if the ceilings are low,
that won't be much help at all :(

Probably not a national chain.. I forget the name of the one in Lousiville.

That still isn't too bad. :)

No, not so bad at all.  I hope mine ends up being in the same range. well, we
have to wait a bit anyway, but it's good to know how your's turned ouy :)

Yep.. probably just tightening the clip on the body of the machine :)

Take care,
Janis
