Hi Ruth,

 RH> Be on the lookout for a small box.  It's not a Christmas
 RH> present, more of a "more junk to add to your mess" box.

It arrived today, just before supper time so we had fun going thru the
contents as we ate. Thanks a lot, some really pretty things in it. I
might have to make some shirts with French cuffs. (G)

 RH> We already know the answer to that.

Just reminding the human...............

 RH> I'm not sure.  She made it at least once since it had ner

Probably made so long ago, she'd forgotten she'd made it. Possibly made
for your dad and he didn't care for it so she never made it again?

Jenny-cat would drink from her dish but preferred the running water.

 RH> It has more controls, but not heat settings. It's from
 RH> about 1986 I think.

My first one I could use a probe to heat to specific (within 5 degrees)
temperatures) or power settings to cook on various power levels.
Sometimes I miss having the specific heat ability; it was good for
getting liquids for bread making to the right temp without standing over
the pan with a thermometer.

 RH> You'd prefer no smoking so you could walk in.

Walk in and keep breathing so I could walk out.
