I used to have. But they're mostly just memories now. Dry cleaners (yes,
they still exist) gave them with the cleaned jackets, dresses, trusers,
etc. And uniform services delivered the shirts and trousers of workers
clothing on them. My supply was used for many thins that rural folks used
to use baling wire for .... like exhaust hangers for the car or pick-up.
Or holding broken pieces in place on furniture, etc.
Now the hangers are plastic. And hard to re-purpose.
They were also useful in gas welding. I kept a supply in the garage/work
shop graded as to thickness and iron content. Saved a ton by not buying
welding rod from the welding supply houses. Bv)=

Izzat like a pinch? Or "big" pinch?
Here is my favourite Cajun gravy. I was making this before I knew of
Justin Wilson and Vernon roger .... or Emeril, for that matter.
The white stock called for in the recipe is a thickened bone broth made
with celery, carrots, and onion. You can use veal, chicken or beef bones.
