LOL. I don't know if you watched the video clip. If you did you'll see
that the bench is sponsored by a Caribbean restaurant at the Fair. I
think there's a song by that name.

So, in which court do you want me to file the complaint? I'm thinkin'
the Minnesota 5th Judicial District. We'll sue the Minnesota State
Fair, the Caribbean restaurant, the company that placed the benches
and the advertising company that placed the copy. Cause of action?
"Willfully ****ing Off Barb Schaller." I'm sure there's a Minnesota
statute that addresses this. I'll research it first thing Monday.

Of course, you might not want to try to enter a Minnesota State Fair
competition again...

Heck, anyone who knows me and sees the bench will probably think that
*I* ponied up the $1500 for it. Shoot, I haven't even coughed up $150
for an engraved brick on the plaza yet.

Hey, KSTP has posted the video that they ran on the 6:00 p.m. news.
Have a looksee: http://kstp.com/article/stories/S176666.shtml?cat=10435

The little video is at the right of the text.

They're going to run another clip but I've not yet been told when it is
scheduled.

You always photograph/film so nicely. And you *always* have a fabulous
manicure. I think you should be able to take those manicures off on your
taxes as they are part of your image and a necessity!

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?)

So do you acidify all veggies (more or less pickling them?)

Thank you, Dollink! The pearls are *the* integral part of the outfit.
The folks on rec.food.preserving know the joke. It's part of our quest
to emulate June Cleaver.

So am I .

I think she KF'd me when I said I had KF'd "dead spread" posts.
I did not have a problem with her posting them but I think she did not
understand. I'm still hurting from my soul mate's death so I just cannot
stand to see or discuss such things yet.

I'm sorry I hurt her feelings. I just cannot bring myself to "celebrate"
death. And "feasting" for them, to me, shows a certain callousness.
She appears to have taken it personally.

I simply don't want to see it on my screen.

Making a party out of a funeral is just too morbid...

Very few people can keep up with the traffic on this group. I tend to
ignore threads on baking, canning and pickling. While I've done these
in the past, they just aren't a serious interest for me right now. That
says nothing about the posters, just the subject.

I'm not offended by "dead spread" at this point in my life, but at the
some other points, I probably couldn't have handled it, either.

She probably looks better than June does in anycase, since Barb S is way
younger than Barbara Billingsley. Barbara Billingsley (born in 1915) who I
saw not long ago in a SitCom part looked very wrinkled and ancient where as
Barb S doesn't look wrinkled at all. Maybe it is all that steam from the
preserving canner...

Say that when you lose someone that means the world to you.
It's always easy to say that until you have to face it.

Yes, you are.
I've been posting here since 1998.

I've rarely ever bitched about people not snipping posts. ;-)
That's someone else's soap box.

As for posting off topic, I'm guilty now and then but have made a real
effort to curb it most of the time.

Indeed.

I did not killfile HER after all, just that subject thread!
Due to the traffic on this list, I tend to use a lot of subject
killfiles. Makes it easier to sort the remaining messages.

I wasn't offended by them, I just did not want to see them. They tended
to go on for miles.

Someone posting with the organization of A noiseless patient Spider,
posting from motzarella.org, has 526 posts on my newserver, going back
some time. Changing your name and using a fake Email address may not be
working here.

I'm not so sure that you are new.

I agree with celebrating the life of the deceased, but that isn't always
possible in some stages of grief.

Guns are on topic, because that is one way to get meat.

She (Om) bitches (probably correctly) because I snip too much.

Off topic is how this newsgroup works.

Actually.. joining together for a dead spread to support each other,
share memories and perhaps a laugh or two is the opposite of morbid.

I can't think of anything more morbid than calling the food at a
funeral a "dead spread". sheesh

Thanks. My hair is now about 1" long on top of my head. Rob calls me
Fuzzy. Trouble is, it needs a haircut about every 3 weeks. I'm glad my
cuts are cheap.

Only those I'm pickling. :-)

I don't do pressure canning ‹ that's a *must* for plain vegetables.
Corn relish is a pickled relish (vinegar) and I made a couple jars of
Bean Pickles for the heck of it. Never made the recipe before, never
tasted them. They placed 5th of 15 entries. I suppose I should taste
one. They are not the usual Dilly Beans.

Tomatoes processed in a boiling water bath now require acidification
(lemon juice or citric acid; I prefer citric acid) for safe BWB
processing.

Maybe for you.

I can't do it.

But, you see a lot more deaths than I do.
I get to hide in the lab most of the time.

Ok, mom always did pressure canning for fruits, tomatoes and especially
meats so that is what I am used to I guess.

What Ph then is recommended?

I doubt anyone at the actual event has ever voiced those words "Dead
Spread"....but here in RFC the description "Dead Spread" sounds fine to me.

Why would I want a clown?
