Hi Michael,

 ML> Here's where the Web comes in handy. If someone buys a lemon, I
 ML> figure s/he's going to put up a nasty review within milliseconds
 ML> of the defect coming to light.
 RH> True, you just have to post it in the right place to be read tho. For
 RH> example, I'm not on Facebook so anything posted there, I wouldn't see.
 RH> Complain about something here and I would see it.

 ML> That's what search engines are all about. Type the model
 ML> number, manufacturer, and "reviews" into Google or whatever
 ML> you like, and the info comes. It may not all be reliable
 ML> or even 100% true, but you can at least get an idea of what
 ML> people think of the appliance you are looking at.

That's what Steve does. (G) I do from time to time but not as often as
he does. I did hunt down (via internet) a source of repair parts for
Pfaff sewing machines of the vintage mine is. Did it while we were still
in GA, ironically found a place in NC. The repair man said he'd been
looking for a site like that so he appreciated the work I did in finding
it. He ordered some parts for my machine from it; in hindsight, I should
have bookmarked it.

 ML> bolognese, but I can be sure that when I leave, the sauce
 ML> is not going to be long for this world. Of what I cook,
 RH> Extras can't be forzen?

 ML> Of course they can, but Annie isn't in the habit of doing
 ML> so. Spoiled, she is, and she prevents spoiled food by not
 ML> keeping leftovers, much less storing it.

OTOH, I would rather freeze to keep it than toss it out or let it spoil.
Difference in upbringing.


 RH> No comment. Only going to say that the doctor parent must have had med
 RH> school bills paid off and a good practice.

 ML> Her mother did not cook much, and when she cooked at all,
 ML> the food was so nasty as to be worthy of throwing out while
 ML> still fresh. The doctor parent used to make his main meal
 ML> at the hospital caf, so he didn't have to eat much of the
 ML> swill that went on the table. Plus they ate out a lot.
 ML> So she never learned to economize and refuses to do so;

Billy must have been able to support her in the manner she was acustomed
to, as well.

 ML> though her cooking is way better than her upbringing
 ML> accounts for, her money management isn't.

My cooking is way better than that with which I was brought up too. (G)
My money management is pretty good too; we had quite a few years of
living lean.


 ML> Preacher's delight
 ML> cat: main, not dessert
 ML> servings: 6 to 8

 ML> 12 oz pk egg noodles
 ML> salt
 ML> 1 Tb vegetable oil
 ML> 1 onion, minced
 ML> 1 green bell pepper, diced
 ML> 2 1/2 lb lean ground beef
 ML> 30 oz tomato sauce
 ML> 1 Tb sugar
 ML> 1/2 ts black pepper
 ML> 8 oz pk cream cheese, softened
 ML> 1 1/2 c sour cream
 ML> 1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Actually, this doesn't look too bad. I'd spice it up a bit more but
overall, it's something I might make for our Life group.
