=============================
 ML> There might be a knife sharpening go to guy at your church!
 RH> There is one, but he's just about as busy as Steve. I know the job

 RH> mentioned it and he doesn't use the knife as often as I do so probably
 RH> not as aware of the blade's condition.

Or you can find someone with one of those chef's choice
electric sharpeners; in a minute or less you can have a
blade that's as sharp as new, and it requires little
effort.

 ML> It may in general be better to give than receive, but at
 ML> times it is perfectly fine to receive, a lesson it took me
 ML> a while to learn.
 RH> Sometimes it is hard to be on the receiving end, especially if you're
 RH> the independent sort of person. Steve's sister gave us a good line
 RH> (one she used with their mom when she--mom--didn't want to be on the
 RH> receiving end. "Just smile and say 'thank you'."  It's worked for us;
 RH> it can work for you.

Surely, that's the case; I've not been exceptionally
good at that, though.

 RH> Not in block lettering but if you wrote in cursive.............. (G)

There you go again, making life difficult for yourself. Anyhow,
they don't teach cursive any more, and I am not sure if that's
a good or a bad thing.

 ML> My drug is wandering around. For the cost of a dose of some
 ML> of these designer illicit drugs I can go to Seattle or
 ML> Phoenix for a week.
 RH> Don't know if I have a "drug" like that, maybe fabric "collecting"? 

Most people have a drug, but whether it's of greater or
lesser harmfulness is dependent on a lot of things. With
mine, I'm being ecologically and economically unsound,
making up for the first forty years of my life or so. I
doubt I'm doing anyone serious damage doing it, though.
 
 ML> Musaka
 RH> A different twist but looks good too. A bit heavier on the carbs
 RH> probably but that can be dealt with.

You can soak the potatoes for a while and get rid
of a lot of the starch that way.

      Title: Grated Potato Patties
 Categories: Side dish
      Yield: 2 servings

    450 g  Potatoes
           - peeled & coarsely grated
      2    Eggs; lightly beaten
      1 sm Onion; grated
      1 tb Cornflour
           Salt and pepper
    1/4 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
           Ground-nut oil for frying

  Serves 2-3

  These are gorgeous. There is something very special about the taste of
  grated raw potato lightly cooked, and these patties are distinctly
  moreish. You probably won't have any leftovers!

  Soak the grated potatoes in cold water. Drain them through a large
  sieve, pressing out all the water, then pat them dry with kitchen paper.

  Mix the beaten egg, onion and cornflour together and season with salt,
  pepper and nutmeg. Stir in the grated potato.

  In a small, heavy-bottomed frying-pan heat a little oil until it is hot,
  then drop the mixture 2-3 tbs at a time into the pan, and flatten each
  pancake with the back of a spoon. Cook on both sides until golden. Drain
  on kitchen paper and keep hot in a low oven until ready to eat.
