When I was a kid, my mother made tomato soup with milk and added hard boiled eggs to it, don't remember that I particularly liked it but anytime I ever complained I would get, " you don't know what's good."

One time the Fuller Brush man came to the house. It was my birhday, so Dad bought one for me. I used it for ages until I soaked it in the sink, like I always cleaned my brushes, and the bristles got kinky!

I hear you! When I go to South Florida, I get DD at he restaurant, and sometimes I buy the bags there, and it is good too. I think the coffee that is sold at the grocery stores is different. A little secret from a caterer I know is to put a pinch of salt in the grounds before you start to brew. Starbuck's has nasty, nasty coffee! Ewe, it is so bitter. However, I do like their soy lattes quite a bit, but he soy milk cuts the bitterness. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Sayman" <[email protected]> To: "'Don Churchfield'" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 2:10 PM Subject: [PD-LIFE] Starbucks and Dunkin' coffee >I love Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

Hi Becky, Sure, I'm sending it out tonight. Keep a lookout for it. :o) Lynn Becky asked: Lynn can I trouble you for a copy of your manual?

Yes, us southers get spoiled with the humidity & when it's gone, some of us still think it's warm. My Schwann man was here yesterday with a warm coat on but had shorts on still! Told him he better get some pants on & he just smiled! Oh well, he's the one going to be sick! It is 60 degrees, but a cold one, with alittle wind blowing. Yikes, I haven't wanted to be outside today, but my shed that has my clothes washer & dryer in it, is out there, so I'm forced to! HA! HA! That's okay I took my little one for a walk/run earlier so it was alittle fun too today! But had to get some water, afterwards, I was parched! North of us supposed to be in the 20's & have a hard freeze, but by the weekend we're supposed to be in the 70's. Go figure!

It depends on what I have on hand as to whether I use milk or water in the soup. Water keeps the 'tomatoey' taste going better than the milk, which makes it creamy tasting. We always used milk, too, because I grew up on a farm where it was plentiful. Most of the time now though, I use water because I am no longer a milk drinker, per se. I don't envy you the cold down there in Florida. At least we northerners are used to it and prepared for it. Down there, you really suffer when it gets cold. I used to feel sorry for my ex in-laws who lived in Charlotte, NC.

Hi List,   Thank you for all the warm words and thoughts sent our way. Bryan said he is not so unhappy because he knows his mom is Home and with the Lord and her family.   Tracy and Bryan

To: [email protected] Date: Monday, January 19, 2009, 7:59 PM GREAT, GREAT stories everyone!!!!! I am reading them all and enjoying every resting minute. I am taking a back seat and lurking a little bit. Have been so busy these few days, and have another mailing of THE MANUAL to do. Glad everyone was able to get THE MANUAL documents open Now I must get back to my photo project. We had some snow, and will have to go out again and shovel when it comes off the rubber roof later tonight. My sister-in-law came out to help with the shoveling. We had a lot of it done before Mike came home from work. Their brother is the lucky one, because he works an hour later than Mike, so we had it all done before he even started on his way home :o) I'm getting too old for all this shoveling. I'm really tired right now, and have lots of typing to do still. So, don't think I've gone far away_I'll be lurking. Keep the stories coming_they are so entertaining. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions of the decaf coffees. Yes, I agree, the coffee is always better with filtered water. We had the option of buying a filter that goes into the Hamilton Beach coffee maker, but since we already filter the water, there was no need for it. Brenda!!! Thanks for all those green tomato recipes!!! How interesting some of them are. I will be trying some, someday, too. Might wind up in THE MANUAL_so I thank you for all the sources you posted with them. I like knowing and letting folks know where the recipes came from. Had lots of business type letters to compose today, and have to take a break. I think I'm really going to like the FlavorWave, once I get a chance to use it. I'll explain later. Have to get to my Church Historian work, and family research work now. Still haven't used my Shark Floor Steamer, but I will one of these days. If you guys stop talking, I'm coming back to reeve you up again!!! So please, please keep telling your stories. It's a very bright light in my day, to read them. Glad to see all this listing happening. Keep it coming_I'll be reading it with a smile, just knowing all my dear friends are still here. Take care, don't shovel too much snow, too fast, stay healthy, stay warm, stay right here around cousin Rick's virtual kitchen table, and I'll be right there with you, listening the whole time. I know he is Uncle Rick to you, but he is my distant cousin, so I can't call him Uncle Rick_OR CAN I RICK :o) LOL!!!!! After all, we called Vee, Auntie Vee!!!!! So, by rights, I should be able to call you Unclie Rick :o) LOL!!!!

Oh hon I am so sorry for your loss.  I wish I was close enough to help out with whatever.    My parents also talked with those that had gone on while they were passing.  Something that has helped me to deal with my loss is from 1st Thessalonians.  I can't quote it exactly but the verse speaks of not grieving for those who have gone on for they will rise with the Lord.  My thought is that if we have been celebrating the Ressurection for all these years, doesn't it stand to reason that our loved ones are never really gone.   Please let me know if I can  do anything.   Becky

Dear Tracy and Bryan, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I pray that God will hold you all in His loving arms to guide and comfort you in your time of sadness. It is never easy to lose one's parents, especially so closely together. My father came to get my mother, too, when she passed over, but she ooo'd and ahh'd for hours before she slipped into a full coma.
