Hola Ruth!

-> ->  HN> I got some aluminum foil ones at the
-> ->  HN> store and they worked great. Could
-> ->  HN> cook two to three quiches at a time
-> 
-> -> I'm thinking along the lines of the pot pie size pie pans but would 
like
-> -> to find something that would be either regular oven or microwaveable.
-> -> Something that would go into the freezer after baking, be defrosted 
and
-> -> reheated in the microwave.
-> 
->  HN> Don't know that I've ever
->  HN> seen "microwaveable" pans
->  HN> in the stupidmarket...of
-> 
-> I did see some at W-M, more in GA than up here so it may have been an
-> idea that just didn't catch on. They were one time useable in a regular
-> oven as well; when I cooked a lot before my radiation started, I used
-> them to freeze/heat a lot of the meals in.
->
Never been in a W-mart and won't so no
need for me to look there. next time
I'm in the grocery though I'll look
around and see what they have.
 
->  HN> course the fact that I have
->  HN> not looked for them may be
->  HN> part of the reason! I just
->  HN> heat mine up in the oven.
-> 
-> Depends on the size, quantitiy of what I'm cooking and if I want to be
-> able to microwave reheat or otherwise.
-> 
-> Got a new small appliance today. Our waffle iron (cord) was showing its
-> 30+ years of age and moves, getting near to the danger point. No small
-> appliance repair shops around so we had been looking for a new one. Most
-> of what we had seen looked cheap--lots of plastic. The one we have has
-> reversable (into a flat griddle) plates so I sort of wanted a multi
-> tasker, not something that did just waffles. We got a 30% off sale
-> coupon for Kohl's the other day so decided to look there. Found a 5
-> plate George Foreman grill, originally about $150. on sale for about
-> half price. Add in the 30% discount and we paid $59. & change for a
-> multi tasker. We used it tonight to cook some boneless butterflied pork
-> chops. (G)
->
Our waffle iron was my grandmothers..and
was made in the 30's I think. has the
old cloth covered cord. have not used
it in ages...maybe I should dig it out 
for a treat to Annie.
 
-> -> -> really should have made 3 generous fillings instead of 4 so-so 
sized
-> 
-> ->  HN> Gotta be careful about them bubbling
-> ->  HN> over the edges though.
-> 
-> -> That was why I sealed them so well. I made sure I cut vent slits in 
the
-> -> middle tho--my standard cut for that is a couple of parallel lines 
with
-> -> a diagonal line between them--a bit of a stylised H. I've been doing
-> -> that probably ever since we got married.
-> 
->  HN> Funny thing, I used to do pretty much
->  HN> the same vent cut myself! Lines were
->  HN> wavy though and not particularly parallel.
-> 
-> My mom always cut several straight lines but I thought with a last name
-> starting with H, it would be a simple mark to distinguish my pies.
-> Actually, the 2 lines are sort of off set by a bit parallel.
->
Mine was originally by happenstance,
I just slashed some vents and 
that was how they ended up...noticed
that it was rather "H" like and 
kept doing it from then on.
 
-> -> If I'm going to be active, I do too. If I'm going to be sitting in a
-> -> meeting all morning (afternoon), a lighter one is better.
-> 
->  HN> I seldom get to sit around in a classroom
->  HN> any more!
-> 
-> I don't have too much more time doing that but expect I will be in a lot
-> of meetings of one sort or other over the rest of my life. Got one
-> coming up in a couple of weeks--planning the teaching sewing (basic hand
-> and machine) at the seminary next month. Don't know which one I'll teach
-> yet.
->
Yep...get used to it!! My grandfather used
to say the Preacher's wife is always busier
than the Preacher!
My Grandmother did not disagree!
 
-> ->  HN> It would be nice to have "whole house"
-> ->  HN> but it would be expensive and getting
-> ->  HN> a good  nights sleep really makes a
-> ->  HN> big difference. Made even bigger difference
-> ->  HN> when I was working graveyard and needed
-> ->  HN> to sleep through the heat of the day!
-> 
-> -> I understand. We're renting so had the advantage of getting what we
-> -> wanted. But, I think most places built since probably the 70s or so
in
-> -> the south have been built to include air conditioning.
-> 
->  HN> If we end up needing to replace our
->  HN> furnace anytime in the future it will
->  HN> probably be with a heatpump/AC unit.
->  HN> But until then we'll survive on what
->  HN> we have currently.
-> 
-> Just make sure you get a big enough heat pump/AC unit to do the job
-> properly. The one they put on this house is undersized so has to work
-> extra hard on really cold or really hot days--drives up the electric
-> bill.
-> 
We have a small house, 1100 square feet.
so I don't imagine I'll have to get an
industrial sized one!
chat with you soon!
