I've always been intrigued by the way the valves and rods and noisy, rattley
bits all worked together to move things forward. And by the chuff-chuff of the
escaping steam as well as the steam whistle. I'd have been in hog heaven in
your situation. What did your brothers think of it?

Depending on the item - cotton undershirts/pants weren't especially stiff or
scratchy. Bed linens were a bit stiff .... but not, as I recall, "scratchy". Of
course my mom ironed the sheets and pillowcases on a "mangle" (iron)
http://tinyurl.com/MANGLE-IT for those who are clewless as to what a "mangle"
is.

Of course the stuff that had been through the Niagara starch bucket was stiff
and scratchy. And required ironing. Mom pounced on steam irons when they first
became available. No more sprinkler bottles.  Bv)=

My dad always knew he was in trouble if his boxers got starched.

That's pretty much down to the economies of scale. I have one pair of hemp
jeans - and they certainly are hard wearing. The cost was about 50% more than
Wrangler's or Levi's but they have outlasted two pairs of conventional jeans
(so far) so they are overall more economical.

 DD>       Title: Israeli Orange Chicken
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Wine
 DD>       Yield: 8 Servings

 DD>       5 lb Roasting chicken
 DD>       2    Oranges; whole
 DD>       1 lg Onion; in large slices
 DD>     1/2 c  Orange juice; fresh squeezed
 DD>       2 tb Ginger; fresh grated
 DD>       2 tb Honey
 DD>     1/2 c  Wine

 DD> I thought you might use grape juice or de-alcoholed wine. I've made

 RH> Grape juice has more carbs in it than chicken broth/stock. Depending on

 DD> I recommend this one as well..........
