Subj : Cramping To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Thu Jun 06 2024 11:42:26 Hi Dave, DD> Gonna stop by Dollywood as well? All that blonde hair and beautiful DD> voice and she can cook, too. If my ex had been able to cook anywhere DD> close to that welll I'd likely have stuck around a lot longer. But RH> We'll pass on that, enough other venues to visit (at a better price) in RH> the area. DD> No worse than Dizzy-land ot Ditzy-World in Flaw-Rid-Ah. Bv)= Never been to either place, people traps run by a mouse. DD> Billie Marie DD> could (and did) burn water ... more than once. (boiled the pan dry - DD> and ruined a nice aluminum saucepan). RH> My parents, for years, had a stove top coffee percolator. My mom, a RH> number of times, turned on the coil on the electric stove under the RH> empty percolator, thinking she was getting another coil. The percolator RH> would fuse itself to the coil, don't know how many my mom ruined over RH> the years. She finally got an electric percolator, forget if I was in RH> junior high or high school when she did. Her stove had the coils to one RH> side and a flat area where you coould plug in a griddle, electric fry RH> pan or whatever (percolator) so it stayed there, off of any coil. DD> My parents had a Mary Dunbar percolator (but a gas stove). And my DD> grands had an old style drip coffee maker - pour the boiling water in DD> the top, it flows over the grounds and drips into the serving pot. Steve has a French press as one of his coffee makers; the coffee grounds are loose in the water until pushed down. He also has a pour over ( ground coffee in a filter, water poured over that and into a mug), a moka pot, a cold brew set up and an espresso machine. Me, just hot water and a tea bag, thank you.
