Hi Dave,
DD> I can't do that. My cabinets are hung from the ceiling.
RH> I've had that in various places, was glad to see the open tops in this
RH> house when we were house hunting.
DD> Even so, if the topds were "open" they'd have to be for "dead" storage
DD> because I'd have to climb a ladder (or chair) tp reach anything up
DD> that high.
Most of the time I'll ask Steve to do the climbing, I will from time to
time (if he's not around, don't want to wait for him, etc). But always
with a step stool, broke both wrists using a chair (with wheels) once.
DD> Source: Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book - Fine Old Recipes;
DD> : Culinary Arts Press, 1936.
RH> I've got a copy of that floating around somewhere in my cook book
RH> collection.
DD> The only 2 cookbooks I still own are the early 1960's New York Times
DD> Cookbook and the BH&G cookbook I bought in the early '70s. All the
DD> rest have found new homes and their contents are in my Meal Master.
DD> The last cookbook I bought - "Two Fat Ladies - Obsessions" is wrapped
DD> and will be gifted to my S-I-L as a holiday gift.
RH> I like picking them up, reading them and trying something new now and
RH> again. The shrimp recipe was from a cook book I picked up at the campus
RH> Sharing Shop--free thrift shop--I'll probably sort thru my books and
RH> make a donation at some point.
DD> Here's one of my favourite dishes that I discovered whilst browsing
DD> the NYT cookbook my Mom gave me: (both versions - original and my
DD> take)
RH> I think they're both in my saved recipe file on Steve's set up.
DD> Loo and Weller both jumped on my case about fish w/tomato sauce. I did
DD> serve it to Michael on one of his visits and he (grudgingly) admitted
DD> that it was "the exception that proved the rule". Bv)=
DD> Here's a fishy tomato recipe that I made before I'd ever met a
DD> Wegman's stupormarkup. It's right tasty.
