====================
->  RH> Cheap sewing patterns are a good thing.  I got a bunch of 80s ones
->  RH> last summer; those got used for packing material.  They were too 
ugly
-> 
-> Free is even better as fast as kids grow. I'll probably hang on to
-> unisex (and some girl baby) ones for a while longer but pass others on
-> to a church friend who both has a little girl and sews.
-> 
Better still, kids' clothes don't change as fast as adult ones.  Stuff that 
was cute 25 years ago still is.
 
->  RH> for
->  RH> anything else.
-> 
-> Ugly is in the eyes of the beholder. A button down shirt is always a
-> good pattern to have on hand, same with a basic tee shirt one. Things
-> that require huge shoulder pads are recycle bag fodder.

Exactly.  I have a really cool shirt here that was made in the  early 80s, 
but of course I got it later. No shoulder pads at all.  It's a style that's 
come back around.  Those mid to late 80s maternity patterns are best used
as 
landfill or packing material.  

->  RH> Thankfully.  I must be the only person who doesn't like butter on
->  RH> sweet potatoes.
-> 
-> Steve likes butter on his but he likes to control the amount of it, and
-> cinnamon sugar. So, if you don't like butter, what do you put on your
-> sweet potatoes? I put nothing on mine--Steve gets my sweets and I get
-> his Irish if we have both in the house.

Either just salt or gravy if I'm eating them with such. Usually just the 
salt.  They're moist enough not to need much else.  Japanese sweet potatoes 
get more, but not much.
 
-> -> Don't know if there are any in Wake Forest but I know Raleigh has
-> -> seveal. Savannah had a good number.
-> 
->  RH> Savannah has a tradition of having a decent-sized Jewish
population.
-> 
-> From almost the founding of the city as I recall.
-> 
Pretty much.  No clue what's left there now.
 
->  RH> We have big population here too.
-> 
-> I know there's at least one synagogue in Raleigh--right near a couple of
-> Protestant (Lutheran and I think, Baptist) churches.
-> 
We used to have three in town here.  One's gone and one's headed downhill, 
but the town is now about 20,000 people.  That's twice what was here when 
those buildings went up.

had
-> -> the most exposure since I've done the same for the competitions as I

-> 
->  RH> Good idea.  Start with a control group and see what flies.
-> 
-> Yes, but I don't think I'll try curry with the group. Some might like it
-> but overall, I don't think it would be successful. Some people just
-> don't know good food. (G)

Or got an overdose like my mother did and can't stand the smell of turmeric 
any more.
