2005-12-05 Thread delia.palin
I have bought two sets of antique fansticks, both made of bone, one of which has gold paint decoration on it. They both have the old, very dirty and torn, fanleaves on them, which I want to remove so that I can make my own bobbin lace to attach. Could anyone please tell me the safest way to

Hi Jane et al, My mum also still peels mushrooms, but I don't - but mum still does the mushrooms her way when she comes to our house!I am a bit too impatient to peel them, and I decided long ago that the heat in the cooking would kill off any bugs that are lurking, and washing them will get

Hi All, Thanks for all the comments on peeling mushrooms. Except for old ones I have now peeled my last mushroom VBG. I even bought a mushroom brush today (I was in the hardware store and it appeared right in front of me). Anything to make cooking a little faster is much appreciated!

Dear Carol, I just came back on lace-chat after being away awhile - have stayed on lace, and want to make a comment on this. Bloody well use whatever you want! I would have asked the dolt, I wonder why anything black bothers you...Do you have black kin in your heritage? She would have crept

Hi Jane, I remember being told not to wash mushrooms but I can remember why, maybe it was if you were going to fry them. I usually cut of the end of the stem and rinse them under running water as I always forget that I have a mushroom brush at the bottom of my sink untensil jar. I had a
