Hi Dave,
RH> I've got some take out stuff that gets recycled into home use--for a
RH> bit as it's a convenient size. Had to take a meal to a couple in need
RH> of a few months ago; one of them worked well for a small meat loaf with
RH> carrots and potatoes on the side. The couple was able to toss it, not
RH> be concerned with getting a dish back to us.
DD> I do use some of his containers to parcel out chilli for others to
DD> take with. Or to take something with me to work. Where the container
DD> bravely jumps into the bin when it's empty. Bv)=
RH> We use them for give away also.
DD> Great minds think alike. Bv)=
DD> I'm shopping for a self-defrosting upright freezer. And checking my
DD> budget. Bv)= Best Buy has a nice 13 cu ft for about $450. Time to
DD> get out the tape measure and do some measuring. Bv)=
RH> Sounds good. We got ours on sale; it had a (small) dent in it and
RH> Lowe's marked it down, also gave us the military discount.
DD> Just checked with B.B. yesterday and they had an "open box" going for
DD> U$360 delivered. It will be here Tuesday.
Sounds like a winner to me. Just make sure there's nothing holding the
door even slightly open. A melt down is no fun to deal with. (G)
DD> Here's another pickle recipe. This one shows the mustard seed rather
DD> than hiding it in the spice mix.
DD> Title: Senfgurken - Ripe Cucumber Pickles
DD> Categories: Squash, Herbs, Preserving
DD> Yield: 3 Quarts
DD> 8----- ELIDED ----->8
DD> From the Pennsylvania Dutch chapter of the United States
DD> Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago,
DD> 1947. By Molly Paul
RH> That would be an interesting book to get hold of now.
DD> Check the Internet Archives. They may have something you can download.
DD> I'm a contributing ($$$) member.
RH> Something like that I'd rather have hard copy so I can curl up with it
RH> in my chair.
DD> I'll bet you'd like this one: "THE UNITED STATES REGIONAL COOK BOOK
DD> (10 Cook Books in 1: New England, Southern, Pennsylvania Dutch,
DD> Creole,
DD> Michigan Dutch, Mississippi Valley, Wisconsin Dutch, Minnesota
DD> Scandinavian, Southwestern, Western, plus Cosmopolitan America)
DD> Hardcover – January 1, 1947"

That sounds good but Steve would probably make me get rid of some other
cook books if I went out and bought the set. I do need to sort thru
them, once I can easily access them.
DD> My grandmother made a lot of these - my job was to horse the
DD> stoneware crock over to the floor drain and discard the previous day's
DD> brine. Then wrestle to crock back into it's home.
RH> Grandmother was smart to take advantage of youn muscles. (G)
DD> We all had our "chores". If you don't work then you don't eat. Or so
DD> they threatened. I never tested that, though.
Not worth testing.
