=======================
Hi Hap,

->  hn> We had a hail storm a couple of days ago
->  hn> Lasted about 15 minutes, but the hail was
->  hn> all about the size of a small pea, so no damaage
->  hn> was done to anything, even the flowers did
->  hn> not seem to mind!

-> They just drank up the extra water. When we were in TX in the mid 80s, a
-> storm went thru that did a lot of damage at car dealerships. A number of
-> them had major hail storm related sales; we couldn't have afforded a new
-> car then, even a hail damaged one.

 hn> We were the same for the first
 hn> several years of our marriage!

We'd been married about 10 years but had both girls and Steve was a
Spc.4, around 2 years of service. Those were the days that the generics
(old black and white labels) at the commissary were the best buys.
Didn't eat classy then but our stomachs were full, had clothes on our
backs (uniforms for Steve) and had a(n Army) roof over our heads.


->  hn> no matter, we'll find out some
->  hn> time down the road.

-> About another month now. I've switched from a food putting up mode to a
-> sewing for baby one for the next couple of weeks.

 hn> I'm sure those things will be VERY
 hn> much appreciated! Met a lady
 hn> here at the ballpark who makes
 hn> cloth diapers for folks, evidently
 hn> they are making a big comeback and

They are, I know one family (maybe more?) at church uses them & Deborah
is planning to.


 hn> she's even had to hire two ladies to
 hn> help her make her product!!
 hn> We used cloth diapers with Amanda
 hn> and we still have some that I use
 hn> as rags!!

We used them with both girls but don't have any around any more. What
wasn't worn out after 2 baby bottoms got worn out polishing boots.

->  hn> With sweet potato you'd likely need
->  hn> it..pretty bland otherwise.

-> Agreed, but I don't put marshmallows in my sweet potato butter. Cinnamon
-> was the main spice I used, don't recall others but typical ones that
-> went well with sweets were probably included.

 hn> Nutmeg, cinnamon, etc..I
 hn> never put marshmallows with them
 hn> either...marshmallows were only for
 hn> hot chocolate or s'mores!!

I vote for the latter. (G)

->  hn> but of course, no one would
->  hn> expect you to make green tomato
->  hn> recipes when the season is
->  hn> just beginning!

-> That would be counter productive. Haven't even taken any off to try
-> making fried green tomatoes either. BTW, we pretty much decided to do
-> only a batch of chili sauce and can or freeze the rest. That way out
-> options for making other things would be wider--make things fresh as
-> needed.

 hn> Well, there are those who like
 hn> fried green tomato's enough to
 hn> take a few early ones too!

So far, all we have is a few yet. I've a feeling that production will
explode while I'm away. (G)
