Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Mine has those in it all the time so we can reach the stuff at the
->  RH> bottom. Otherwise I have to stand on my head to get at some things.

-> Neither Steve nor I have that problem.

 RH> Yours must be a lot smaller.  This one is a chest freezer about the
 RH> size of a loveseat.

Ours is considerably smaller, only about 7.5 cubic feet. Wish it were
bigger but it fits the space we've got it in. We had an 18 cubic foot
one at one time but it was in a roll over just before Steve went into
the the Army. Still worked so we sold it to my brother; it died about 5
years ago. Got a 10 cubic foot one while in AZ; that was a good sized
one but it wasn't in good enough shape to ship to GA from HI so we gave
it away & replaced it in GA with the current one.


 RH> Seems like.  It's sad when that happens, but the original owner may
 RH> not have
 RH> been a family member. Or may have been the ex!  My brother in-law had
 RH> some nice copper wall molds (decorative) that we sold at a yard sale
 RH> for him for cheap.  They belonged to his late first wife.

Just not his or your sister's idea of kitchen decor?

(quilts)
-> A lot of our are distributed locally so don't have to worry about
-> mailing expenses.

 RH> Mine are everywhere.  One went to Paris, one's headed to Australia,
 RH> and some went down the street.

A lot further flung than mine are. AFAIK, mine are all in the states,
tho they range from HI eastwaed.

-> -> traditional patterns for the QoV project ones; it just seems to fit.

->  RH> It should; they'll feel like something an old school grandma would
->  RH> have made.

-> Possibly, some of the basic patterns have been around since we were
-> still colonies. Grandma may have learned them from her grandma (not in
-> my case tho).

 RH> Me neither.  My grandmother wasn't much of a quilter.  HER mother was
 RH> though, but she died in 1959 at the age of 89.

My father's mother sewed, don't know if she quilted but I've got some of
her other handiwork. I've a set of butterflies I should make applique
wall hangings with--they're not replica but original 1940's, maybe even
1930s, fabrics.

-> -> Germany years ago but it was done with white asparagus. The lemon
 RH> olive
-> -> oil & white balsamic will come closer to the taste of what I had but
 RH> the
-> -> other combo was a good tasting trial.
 RH> ->
->  RH> I've never liked white asparagus much. The green was probably
 RH> better.
 RH> ->
-> I like both; the white has a delicate flavor that compliments some
-> things where the bolder taste of the green would overpower.

 RH> Even the green isn't that bold.

No, but compared to the white it is a much stronger taste. I'm hoping
somebody will have some at the farmer's market tomorrow but its been
such a crazy spring weatherwise, I don't know. We'll try to get there a
bit earlier too, could be that it's gone before we come.
