Hi Ruth!

Yeah, life can be that way ..

Oh yes, we do also.. when we our kids were little, even with the corn allergies
they had, they weren't as intense as our grandchildren's allergies to corn are
now.. scarey...

Sure.. it's not hard to make flour tortillas.. I do it ofen enough.  Sometimes
I do Naan instad.. it's a good Indian flat-bread type.. but maybe more for
sopping up. :)

Believe it or not, Ron has actually been helping me lately in the kitchen Lol..
Probably since since I did a number on my shoulder with a fall so bad that it
hurts to slice an onion with my right hand :( :(  but his help is most welcome.
Darn I guess I'm going to have to call the doc afterall.. grrr..

I know exactly what you mean there.. we did the same thing twice over.. it's
just that now to repair this guy is going to set us back some probably $100+ ..
that's too much in my mind.  I'd keep it for a spare.  So I'm hoping the Bosch
lives as long as I do (laugh)

I think I'm so umm "stocked up" with sewing things, and no energy or time to
accomplish things that I'd like to do, that I'd probably go with Kitchen
things.. only because I'm always there already if that makes sense :)

>> I hadn't heard of them until we moved here :) :)

Yep, reading the history I've seen that..personally, I must have been elsewhere
:)

I like it a lot.. :)  but then any pasta dishes are good to me.

Yes, it really makes a differnce sometimes.. Ron was amazed the first time I
used it, that there wasn't a cow in sight hahaha

Take care,
