[lace-chat] Lost Little boy Tsunami
I have just received a picture to pass on to all, of a white skin, blonde haired little boy, my guess is around two years old, cuts to his face, and a bandaged right hand, wearing a pinkish top, Christmas tree in the far right hand corner, and he is sitting possibly in a large hall or very large veranda, with two green pillars spaced apart. Does anyone know if this picture sounds like the one that was going the rounds, and I think it was Tamara possibly, did you say that they have found out whom he belongs to? I won't do anything with the picture until someone confirms, one way or the other, many thanks, Pauline in Somerset SW England- where we have just had a beautiful sunset, all set for a cold frost this evening. Actually made it to a lace group this afternoon, even though my arm is bad, and I was able to do a little bit more to Annie's Fan - the Malmsbury lace edging, which I think is very pretty, just sad I couldn't make the Saturday meeting. http://www.incredimail.com/index.asp?id=809lang=9 [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of IMSTP.gif] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Scientific Laws
Sometime back I posted a joke about scientific laws and lo and behold I got this in my inbox tonight The message I received, follows the signature and I have added the joke which confused the young man. He must have visited the arachne archive for lace-chat. Jeanette Fischer, Western Cape, South Africa. - Original Message - From: patrick spence To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 2:48 AM Subject: Scientific Laws Dear jeanette, I was wandering if the Scientific Laws posted on your website real. I was working on a little homework assignment and your site is the only i found that have a list of scientific laws. So they sound to be not very scientific so i was just wondering if they are. Thanks Sincerly, A worried Student Jeanette Fischer Fri, 29 Oct 2004 10:41:12 -0700 LAW OF MECHANICAL REPAIR: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch. LAW OF THE WORKSHOP: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner. LAW OF THE TELEPHONE: When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged one. LAW OF THE ALIBI:: If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tyre, the next morning you will have a flat tyre. VARIATION LAW: If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now. BATH THEOREM: When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings. LAW OF CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with. LAW OF THE RESULT: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will. LAW OF BIOMECHANICS: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach. THEATRE RULE: At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last. LAW OF COFFEE: As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold. Jeanette Fischer, Western Cape, South Africa.

It's too bad that sense of humour isn't a compulsory subject from, say, 3rd grade on :) But, at least, he had enough *common* sense, to question the validity of the Scientific Laws as posted :) And, an enterprising young man, too, trying to find a shortcut to *all* laws of science; none of the slow chipping away through Newton and Koeppel and whatever else... :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Dating After Sixty
I have a feeling I've seen this one before, in the same spot - lace chat. But it might have been a while ago, and it is funny (first things first g)... From: S.M. Dating After Sixty Dorothy and Edna, two senior widows, are talking. Dorothy: That nice George Johnson asked me out for a date. I know you went out with him last week, and I wanted to talk with you about him before I give him my answer. Edna: Well, I'll tell you. He shows up at my apartment punctually at 7P.M., dressed like such a gentleman in a fine suit, and he brings me such beautiful flowers! Then he takes me downstairs, and what's there but a luxury car . . a limousine, uniformed chauffeur and all. Then he takes me out for dinner . . A marvellous dinner - lobster, champagne, dessert, and after-dinner drinks. Then we go see a show .. let me tell you, Dorothy, I enjoyed it so much I could have just died from pleasure! So then we are coming back to my apartment and he turns into an ANIMAL. Completely crazy, he tears off my expensive new dress and has his way with me two times! Dorothy: Goodness gracious! . . . So you are telling me I shouldn't go out with him? Edna: No, no, no . . . I'm just saying, wear an old dress. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] biscuit recipes unsalted butter ??
Hi everyone, not lace related but someone might be able to help. I have just been to a kitchenware store and they were having a 60 -90% off sale for the hour...there at just the right time...but what to buy? I ended up with a collection of cookie cutters thinking the children and myself can spend time making biscuits..only problem I have only 1 recipe that is just a basic recipe that you can decorate when cooked. Does anyone out there have any recipes that can be used with cookie ( biscuit ) cutters that they are willing to share ? second question... I also have Nigella Lawsons Feast cookbook a christmas present that I picked out : ) and she uses unsalted butter in nearly all her recipes... Its something i dont have in the fridge I just have butter. I can go and buy some but if I want to cook there and then and have none, does anyone know if you can substitute it for normal butter, are amounts to be used the same?? I know it may effect the taste on some things but in general would it be okay? thanks to all you expert cooks and of course lacemakers Lee-Ann Withers Lacemaker, Cross-stitcher, Scrapbooker, Avid Reader and mum to 2 beautiful children http://au.f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tasper67/my_photos to see them. - Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

And you are looking for recipes for biscuits, with the word used as it is in the US, not as it's used in UK (cookies)? Can't help ya there... DH makes lovely beaten biscuits (to be eaten with Christmas ham and spiced beef), but I don't even want to contemplate them being anything other than little *round* thingies, which split in the middle as soon as you touch 'em. second question...

I know it may effect the taste on some things but in general would it be okay? In general, it's OK, just omit any salt that the recipe tells you to add. And yes, the amounts are the same. Though you may have to add extra sugar to compensate for the excess of salt - a common solution in American recipes. In particular, however... To me, the idea that salted butter might be considered normal is revolting g It's been developed to keep it from spoiling, in the days when refrigeration was rare. It tastes stale even when fresh, and the salt is not is not all that good for you either. And, for baking sweets (which often don't require any salt at all) it's an abomination; like I said, you have to add extra sugar to compensate and all the subtlety is lost. When I first got here, unsalted butter was more expensive than salted - makes sense, since it can't sit on a shelf for as long as salted - but now, with more people worried about their salt intake (but not worried enough about their hearts to stop using butter altogether g), it's the same price. And, although one's not supposed to do it, butter does freeze quite well. So, I keep *only* unsalted butter on hand - in the freezer - and pull out a stick as I need it. Fat defrosts fast but, if it's still too long, you can defrost it in the microwave (15 -20 seconds, on full. Just make sure your brand doesn't have a foil wrapping g). It's much easier to add salt to your recipe which calls for salted butter, than it is to take the salt out of a recipe which uses natural butter; can't add a potato to a cheesecake :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
