Hi Nanct,

OK, I'll probably be making an appointment sometime next month anyway.

 NB>  NB>> compensate for that too well...  ;)

 RH> Don't know, I've always been quite color discriminatory. It's not

 NB> It would probably make a bigger difference with specific off-whites...

They can be hard. I thought I had one match but it wasn't. Went to
Jo-Ann's, saw 2, grabbed my swatch and got the one that was the match.
At the cutting table, found it wasn't quite the amount I wanted so clerk
grabbed the other. I showed her that it wasn't the same white as the one
I had. Got the first one, hopefully will have enough to do the project.
If not, punt.

 NB> quite

 NB> difference... ;)  Now that both eyes are done, that game is gone... ;)

And nothing was spilled on the stove making it seem yellow. (G) Some
whites do yellow with age and exposure to the sun. I bought a white
electric can opener in AZ; I can tell where certain parts are more
hidden as they are still white. Most of it is a slightly yellowed white,
not obvious unless you see the parts that are still a purer white.

 RH> I don't know what she does, but she does like to see my work. She

And the way different people's minds work with the same piece of fabric.

 RH> I cooked what I tought were enough veggies for just one meal but we

 RH> we used up the corned beef the other day. Steve isn't fond of boiled
 RH> cabbage (I can take it or leave it) so rather than inflicting it on
 RH> him, I grabbed it. He took something else. So, one traditional meal,
 RH> one non traditional and one semi traditional from one piece of corned

 NB> I always get a small cabbage... or half a medium one... just enough
 NB> to get the taste without being overwhelmed by it... we tend to prefer

I got the best looking of the smallest cabbage I could, tho it was
probably a medium size. No cut in half ones available to grab.

 NB> cabbage as sauerkraut rather than boiled, but once in a while is
 NB> fine... ;)  Depending on how much or little is left over, some years

We like it as cole slaw most of the time.

 NB> the leftover cabbage and beef get chopped down and the last meal is
 NB> soup...

Hash would be good too.
