[lace-chat] Corned beef
Found this: "In the United States and Canada, corned beef typically comes in two forms, a cut of beef (usually brisket, but sometimes round or silverside) cured or pickled in a seasoned brine, and canned (cooked)." "In the United Kingdom, corned beef refers to the variety made from finely minced corned beef in a small amount of gelatin (bully beef; from the French bouilli "boiled"), and is sold in distinctive, oblong cans or in slices from supermarkets." "Salt beef in the UK and Commonwealth as a cured and boiled foodstuff is sometimes known as corned beef elsewhere."

Re: [lace-chat] Sympathy needed
Hi. I think we'd all like to know how that lace is progressing, and how the ferrets are doing being kept away from the pillow!!! I remember a similar accident at a lace meeting when my pillow ended up upside down on the floor. It was a 2 legged 'accident' not a 4 legged one though! Broke a few threads and one bobbin, but I was shown how to 'mend' the threads and all ended up OK. Sue in East Yorkshire where it's flipping freezing again!!

I didn't know about the turn upside down trick then so spent about 2 hours gently untangling them. One thread broken which was the first time I learned to add a new thread.

[lace-chat] Sympathy needed
Any update on how the ferret lace is doing? it is a very pretty piece of lace. I put my pillow onto a table top once without checking it was far enough on and it toppled to the floor. I didn't know about the turn upside down trick then so spent about 2 hours gently untangling them. One thread broken which was the first time I learned to add a new thread. My cat however, (no longer in this world) used to lay on the arm of my chair and watch me make lace and sometimes just lay his paw over the top of the bobbins as if to hold them for me. He never ever harmed anything and his photo is still visible on my site :-) He did enjoy laying and sleeping on it so I made sure it was only possible when well covered, padded and secure. I loved him to bits but we are not going to replace them with more now:-) Sue T Dorset UK -Original Message- From: suebabbs Ou r kitten likes to remove pins too - and lays them beside the pillow or pincushion in beautiful straight lines! We have to love our pets a lot to want to keep them!!

Re: [lace-chat] Corned Beef Water recipe
Having checked a recipe for the preparation for salt beef, it is exactly the way you would prepare corned beef from scratch in the US. You brine a brisket for approximately 7 days and then poach until fork tender. Delicious! And totally different from the corned beef you get in a can (although that is good too!)

Re: [lace-chat] Corned Beef Water recipe
Hi, Might the US corned beef be the same as salt beef here in the UK? I haven't cooked it myself but have eaten some cooked by a neighbour and the taste was similar to corned beef.

[lace-chat] broiler
So another example of where we don't speak the same language. A new TV programme started last week "The Great British Sewing Bee" and on the forums discussing some have asked what a "bee" is. Someone pointed out that it's a competiton and that in the USA you have spelling bees. One response was "Why? They can't spell! just look at the way they spell colour and catalogue!" :-D Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.
