Hi Ruth,

->  RH> How about a better version of Samoas?  I've had some recently and
 RH> they
->  RH> weren't that great.

-> Sorry, no copy cat there. You might be able to figure out a better
-> version tho. Steve would like them; I'm not so nuts over coconut.

 RH> I like it just fine.  Add chocolate and..(swish)....

I'll stick with the chocolate, let everybody else have the coconut,
coffee and peanut butter.

-> I tried but had too much going on otherwise to really give it the
-> attention I needed. Story of my life--always something else to take my
-> time and attention.

 RH> Three things to do, and time for two of them.

About the way it goes sometimes. Tonight was the first night this week
(since Sunday) that we were home for the 6:30 national "news" and
Jeopardy.

->  RH> I never knew the two words went together.  I did snag a cake
 RH> carrier

-> The rectangular or layer cake version? I had one of the latter but never
-> really used it so passed it on. I do have (and use) the other one. I
-> also use the pie carrier; it also holds a bundt pan sized cake.

 RH> The round one.  I have a pie carrier somewhere too.  My sister got the
 RH> rectangular one.

We had to let go of some things when the storage space got quite
limited. I didn't use that one much so figured it could find a new home.
It was the old avocado green.


->  RH> I picked up a crazy thimble myself.  It's modern Chinese cloisonne;
 RH> I
->  RH> snagged it because unlike most thimbles it fits me.

-> I don't wear them, just collect them. Probably should wear one but never
-> got used to it.

 RH> I tried, but they all either didn't fit or fell off.

I'm just not comfortable sewing with one on. I guess I should learn to
adapt. I'll be (co) teaching a sewing class next month at the seminary;
have to send the co-ordinator a list of my favorite notions. Seam gague,
ripper, paint brush (water color size), tape measure and dual tipped
marking pen have all made the list so far.

->  RH> Ken-less?

-> It was a Baby Lock, one of the better brands then (and I think still).
-> That particular model was a bit of a dud tho. When it worked, it worked
-> well. When it didn't, I got quite frustrated with it.

 RH> Sounds like my current cable TV set-up.

Only thing we have cable for is the internet.

-> -> The lemons will go into Moroccan/Middle Eastern cooking.

->  RH> That's their usual place; Moroccans use a bunch of them.

-> And we like that kind of cooking. I'll have to post the Spicy Moroccan
-> Beef recipe I made today; it's another keeper.

 RH> Sounds good to me.  Not that my mother would eat it.

It's not that spicy, at least IMO. (G)
