ROTFLMAOPMPSTC! Thanks. Rob's comment also was, "Nice nails." The
important part of that deal was the pearl necklace * it's a group joke
on r.f.p. * part of the June Cleaver affect. "-) It was fun to see
but we were a little disappointed that they focused so much on the
danger of canning -- that's not exactly the way to encourage a new
canner.

That conversation was a very small part of the 90 minute interview but
it proved the point that I'd made earlier to Rob that the media folks
have their own agendas and take from what they have to support that
focus.

To be fair <grin> they're going to run another (different) piece
sometime soon, probably, and I will guess that that will be more about
my doing the ribbon slut thang for more than 25 years and my success at
it. Didja catch the four jars of pickles, corn relish, and plum jelly?
That's a photograph of my entries some 25 years ago. The jelly and
relish were bluish, one of the pickles was pinkish, and the other pickle
was fifth. I think that's when I got hooked. :-) I found the picture
and stuck it on the wall about 15 minutes before they got to the house
for the interview.

The plum tree still has fruit on it and Rob's been collecting plums from
it twice a day for me. "-) I've juice in the freezer for 90 jars of
jelly so far. And the other day I made a *very* small batch of plum
butter (12 ounces total) that would make you weep. Oy, that stuff is
good. My late friend The Widow Geraldine put me onto doing something
with the cooked plum flesh.

Blahblahblah. (But it's about food, eh, Goomba?)
