Nice for you and your preferences to be
recognized.

I started with the shop when he first opened about 18 months after we
moved to WF. He worked on my first machine, told me when he could no
longer get vital parts. Sold me the replacement, didn't know at the time
that line had problems. I'm on my 3rd Pfaff now; it'll probably be the
last one I'll need to buy.

I know people who are brand loyal to Singer,
Pfaff, Viking. Annie used to lecture on behalf
of Pfaff and Viking, back when she was young
and famous. I understand that all these brands
and more are made by the same company.

Well, we did live there for 5.5 years...................(G)

None of the rest of us did, to my knowledge.
It would take a pretty penny to get people over
there. If we were to do a fly-in, I'd suggest
someplace we can get cheap or mileage tickets
and where accommodations are affordable.

I know, you saw my (G). It would be nice but............

But that opened up the possibility that we
could go to a convenient neutral location, such
as Memphis.

How do you decide how many ellipsis dots?

All easily gettable, though, and who knows
where that Bisquick has been, and for how long.

That's very true. BTW, older daughter told me she now knows how to make
good biscuits without B.... When we were out in 2016, Steve left her
some sourdough starter. She left it for a while, then started
experimenting. Told me last night that she finally started using it a
bit ago, now can make a good "from scratch" biscuit. One small step....

As far as I can tell, the most important thing is
the cutter to mix the fat into the dry ingredients.

I suspect that the wine improves the flavor; there'
s no liturgical reason for its being there.

Probably a flavor booster then.

Oh, for sure. Almost every recipe uses it.
The recipe is supposed to take its inspiration
from the Song of Songs, which references all
the traditional ingredients (including wine)
but does not give guidance on how they are to
be combined.

A lttle bit of this, a little bit of that..............

It appears to be a tribute dish, taking the
ingredients listed in the verses and combining them
into a condiment that has over the centuries become
traditional (I guess that would include the wine as
well, so ignore the previous thought).

As with a drink I made once in honor of a Frank Zappa
song - white Port and lemon juice, not a great combo
as it turns out. A friend of mine once said the
difference between white Port and Port is like that
between a madam and a madame.

Chicken Renoir
Category: main, poultry
servings: 4

1 lb chicken cut into 1" by 1/2" strips
4 oz mushrooms sliced
6 oz jar marinated artichokes
1/2 c chopped sun dried tomatoes
chopped garlic
1 sm onion, sliced and cut in half
1 c dry white wine or chicken stock
1 c whipping cream
additional stock if needed
cooked noodles

Slice the onions; mince the garlic. Set
aside. Slice the mushrooms. Set aside.
Chop the sundries tomatoes. Set aside
Cut the artichokes into quarters. Cut
chicken into thin strips. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a pan until shimmering. Add
the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Saute until
mushrooms are golden. Remove from pan. Add
more olive oil and add the chicken. Saute
until cooked through. Add the wine or stock.
Return mushroom mixture to pan. Stir well.
Add the artichoke hearts. Turn heat to low.
Heat through for 3 to 5 min. Pour in the cream.
Stir. Add stock to thin if necessary. Heat

Note: the wine will make a much more
interesting dish than using just stock.

How many aspirants come to these things?

If you don't like large mobs of people, it's not the place to be. They
had something like 3 "games", picking 5 people per game so your chances
of being called up for a game were pretty slim. But, for some people,
they think they'll get called up, go on the show and get rich/discovered
for show biz or whatever.

As far as I can tell, the most important thing is

Probably so, most recipes recommend pea sized granules. Recipies usually suggest solid fats but I've seen others that call for oil. I've used
both.

I've seen cake recipies that are written as "3 tsp of (appropriate
Scripture reference)" ----some include the ingredient; others make you
look it up.
