>> I think they are upstairs in a closet, maybe I'll check today... Now
>> I'm curious :)
> And did you find them...? ;)
JK> I did not, it was too crazy this week as it turned out.. you know,
JK> life isn't fair, and if there is one thing I learned a very long time
JK> ago, it is you have to roll with the punches... Ron's aunt died right
JK> before Christmas so we were tied up dealing with that.
In hindsight, not all that much a surprise....
JK> She had prepaid her final resting, etc. so that was taken care of but
JK> you know it involved a million phone calls, and more, etc. etc.
It does indeed, even with all sorts of prior planning... even just
setting it all in motion.... we just went through that a couple of years
ago when my mom died...
JK> You know I was just way too busy if I couldn't even take the time
JK> to go up the stairway and look for them ... :)
Eventually things will settle down, and you will go to satisfy your
curiosity... ;)
JK> She was a great lady and is already missed by all of us.
Hugs and condolences to you and the family....
>> had real fun making jeans for the kids, and for me. I put embroidered
>> things on their jeans and mine
> Oh, that would be fun... Hopefully they enjoyed having the embroidery as
> much as you enjoyed doing it...
JK> Oh yes, they loved it.. :)
Good. :)
>>>>> Apparently you've also got a very efficient metabolism... mine tends to
>>>>> shut down all too easily... :)
>>>> Understand, one of my sisters has a metabolism similar to yours. It
>>>> can be hard for her as well, so I always sewed dresses for her.
>>> Is that the one you made the bridesmaid dress for....?
>> Yes, it was. I remember seeing her face when the bridesmaid's shop
>> clerk told her it was impossible to get a dress for her in her size..
>> she was crushed. I told her 'don't worry about it, I'll take care of
>> it'. Bridesmaid's dresses are generally pretty simple in design. :) I
>> knew I could find matching fabics so I wasn't worried.
> Nowadays it might be easier to get nice plus-size dresses, but I know at
> one time it just wasn't possible...
JK> That's true.. and for a bridesmaid's dress, unless you are dealing
JK> with a large shop, I'm not sure if any of them would have had one to
JK> fit her.
I suppose it might have been possible to get a special order... but that
likely would have been a lot more expensive... a very good thing in that
case that you had the skills to make her one yourself... :)
>> I did grow regular eggplant in my garden outside one year but this is
>> the first time I saw eggplant from Aerogarden, so I was really happy
>> about that :)
> You'll have to let us know how they grow and end up tasting...
JK> I planted them today so now I can be impatient but THANKFULLY I will
JK> only have to wait 12 weeks from now to see how they taste.. that is
JK> "amazing" to me
12 weeks.... middle of March, then...? Even that is rather amazing... :)
>>> Now I'm thinking about Christmas but I think I'm going to do what I've
>>> always done in years past... Roast turkey/gravy/sweetpotatoes/mashed
>>> potatoes/veggies as the first course, then homemade cheese ravioli and
>>> meatballs as the second course.
>>> It's really easy to do if you plan ahead and freeze the ravioli until
>>> it's time to cook it.
>>> :)
>> A proper Italian feast, for sure.... ;)
JK> Well, because of Aunt Gert's death we had to forgo some things.. Just
JK> no time.. but we did have ravioli and meatballs, so that was great.
The easier to fix portion.... You can always do the first part of the
feast at a later date, just for the fun of it... :)

... The funniest sounding food of all: Kumquats.
