Elizabeth said...I am not! (Reconstructing history, just to keep things straight.) I only tell it like it is (was).
And, yes, if you want something zany, Cold Comfort Farm, it is. Another thing that Ann has influenced me into purchasing. Shall I make a list? The Ronco Rotisserie, my grain mill, the Vita-Mix, various patterns, including one for a swing jacket that we'll never make, various movies, books, including Square Foot Gardening and Think Thin, needlework patterns, my Pfaff sewing machine, and on and on and on. Sorry, Judy, you used to be the leader in this, but only as far as fabric goes. Frankly, it's been lots of fun, and Ann is an incredible shopper - it's like having your own personal shopping guide - saves me an incredible amount of time. And how did we move from here to there? Don't ask.

And your point is?
The thing is, that we all do influence each other. The truth is that some of us are stronger in the "influencing" (Ann) and others are more receptive to being "influenced" (Elizabeth & Dwight).
The rest of us are innocent.
Not!!!!!
So who opened the door to pressure cooking? Could this be Dwight? Last night I cooked artichokes in about 10 minutes, compared with 45 minutes with the steamer basket, I am a convert.
Let's see - how innocent is Judy? I think that a consensus would prove that she is implicit in forwarding some of the most egregious attempts to influence others in thinkint that they need certain items. However, we have proven through the years of experience that we are not to be budged if the object(s), situations, etc. are not in our special interest. However, Ann, a Presto pressure cooker sounds pretty good right now. How fast can it make split pea soup?
Ann (just one step away from Dwight) scores again!
Well, as I recall pea soup in five-seven minutes or so, or they get mushy. There is a secret to keeping them from being mushy. And how many of you have boughten, so to speak, silicone oven liners? Just wondered. What do you mean Judy scored? Please explain. And Judy is the only one who claims to have boughten everything but she has never paid one cent for any of it. Called dissembling, I believe.
Guilty on the silicone pan liners - haven't bought one for the bottom of the oven yet, but have one for the little toaster oven. They work great for baking cookies chicken, etc. - have a mitt that stands high heat, and 2 silicone hot pads that work great to place hot pots on. I'm totally sold on them. I won't answer for Judy and dissembling - However, I remember that Ann bought her Pfaff sewing machine one year, I bought one the next year, and Judy's came at least a year later, and Bob bought it for her. (I think.)
Right on for the sewing machine.
On the other hand, I....have had a silicone oven liner for a couple of years!!!!! Okay, so Kemp gave it to me for Christmas. I LOVE IT.
Judy has had a silicone oven liner for a couple of years? And how long has she had a rotisserie?
Just know that if you buy the silicone muffin pans, do not put paper liners in the little cups. If you do, the end result is not pleasant. Evidently paper liners and silicone muffin pans are not compatible. The muffin pan will burn right through and turn the cup cake liners to ashes on the bottom. Very exciting! I wonder if that was in the instructions that came with the muffin pan. Maybe I should stick with how to use a seam ripper?
Nooo Just use the aluminum-foil lined muffin pan liners - works great, and does not burn through. Maybe you got (had) a less desirable one?
Nice try, but the restaurant guy gave me the inside scoop on the world of cooking in the silicone thingys. Give it 10 years and someone will come out and say that cooking with silicone causes warts or cancer, or turns our hair gray.
