That'll mean whomping up a recipe, methinks.

-> -> Gladly, can I offer you an MLT in exchange?
-> 
->  RH> What's on that one?  If it's more tomatoes I'm unfriending you.(G)
-> 
-> Sounds like you never saw "The Princess Bride"--anybody that's seen it
-> would know right away that an MLT is a mutton, lettuce and tomato.

I never used the acronym.  I'd take a crack at the mutton, but I'm leery of 
the tomato.  Miracle Max had suspect taste buds.

-> 
-> She probably does remember her childhood but I've not asked. The last
-> couple of times we've been up there (July & October), she's not known me

That happens.  If the layers are peeling back she could have rewound to 
before she met your dad.  A friend's grandmother could recall toys her 
brother played with before WWI but not what she had for lunch.

Certainly possible.  There are still some guys hand making knives, after 
all.
 
->  RH> I never used the real pinkers for that, just the fancy paper 
scissors.
-> 
-> WHEW! Thought you were going over to the far side for a moment. (G)

Nope.  I have some paper scissors with fancy edges; they're good for making 
cards too.
 
-> No, but I've got a BIL who used his/my MIL's good shears to cut some

-> about it. (G)

Did the BIL survive the experience?  My mother told me not to cut paper
with 
sewing scissors.
