No planning at all, Karen. The refrigerator (no, the Frigidaire) was loaded with little glass dishes, each with its glass plate cover, or elastic shower cap, whatever they were called. The little dishes held apple butter, tomato marmalade, jellies of all colors, cinnamon-spiced figs, pickled peaches, bread and butter pickles, pickled beets, pickled onions... heavens, I don't think I can list anymore without more thought. But for every meal, they came out, were arranged on the table, and after the meal they were covered and replaced in the fridge. And -- nobody counted to seven. There were probably more! LOL Kathy PS I specialize now in one-dish meals! My husband's pretty used to it. > From: karen.zach@sbcglobal.net > To: inmontgo@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:22:05 -0500 > Subject: Re: [InMontgo] Migration NJ to Colerain Twp Ham.Co Ohioto Montgomery Co > > Seriously? 7 sweets and 7 sours.
