My newsreader has a menu item that displays the whole subthread, as far
back as it is stored on the server. I love it, and use it often. So,
the OP didn't explain the term "KA". Then again, he didn't use it,
either. He wrote:

"Source: I forget."

The next respondent in the subthread was Boron. She carefully spelled
out "King Arthur Flour" the first time she used it, and then used "KA"
after that.

Thanks. I am curious, as I saw that over the past 3-5 years their
business model changed. They sell a lot more mixes and "add-ins" than
basic ingredients these days.

I don't care if anyone is interested in the thread. I just think a
person would appear a tad more intelligent if she figured out what was
being discussed or backtracked to discover the rather obvious meaning
rather than coming in hall-assed in the middle ...so to speak.

If a person isn't smart enough to figure it out and keep up with the
discussion, then she should really stay out of it.

No problem Boron! I remember how upset she was when the changes
started happening. She said that prior to the changes, every product
they had was tested in her kitchen on the plant. Then they started
bypassing the testing and just throwing new products on the shelf with
no actual human testing. She said that the quality started dropping at
that point and she became very dissatisfied with her job.

If I remember correctly, she stayed there about 6 months then and left
for another job.

I'll post in this thread when she answers my email. It might be a few
days. She's a very busy person.

Normally, my husband would take it out and bury the stuff in the
"real" compost pile. This year all composting shut down as piles and
tumblers froze solid.

We could have tolerated the temps, but it was the 4+ feet of snow in
the yard all winter that prevented the trek from house to bins (only
one tumbles, that is my favorite).

Yeah, sure. Like we're supposed to hang on your every word and
remember WTF you're talking about from post to post over a series of
days. It was too hard for you to call it a compost bin or whatever
you were talking about instead of a cutesy "KA". KA the flour or KA
the mixer suddenly became KA the something else. That's being a lazy
ass on your part, not stupid on mine.

OP here.

Not that anyone probably cares at this point, but my memory has
returned. The compost bucket I have is this one:

http://www.gardeners.com/stainless-s...efault,cp.html

(Great place, BTW. If you're ever in Burlington, VT, go visit them.)

That is the almost the same one as in the KA catalog, but KA includes
2 filters and a bag o' bags.

Series of days? It was last Friday afternoon when Boron spelled out
King Arthur Flour. It was the next morning when you ranted about not
knowing what KA was.

King Arthur Flour turned to poopoo around the time they split off The
Baker's Catalogue... I won't buy their products anymore, they're over
priced, poor quality, their flours turned to crap, and their employees
who answer the phone are very surly; a few years ago I queried about
their obtaining/locating/selling windmill cookie molds, didn't have a
clue what I was talking about and weren't interested.

I said "a" frugal person, myself not included - ha. But I
imagine it could be done. Heck - you could stitch up the sides of a
folded in two potholder. Might work.

I have one of those fancy quilted handle holders - in shape of a
lobster, snap on the tail to adjust the length and a hanging loop --
almost too nice to use -- 'twas a hostess gift from a wonderful
European guest who even folded the SHEETS the morning she left - laid
em on the washer. The usual guest doesn't even pull the sheets off
the BED, or ted the wet towels over a rack. (There!! - I finally used
that crossword puzzle word one never sees in print.)

That's been around a long time and is sold all over... originally part
of a kitchen cannister set, they just drilled a few holes in the lid.
I contemplated it but decided that I didn't like the configuration,
that bulge at the base would make it difficult for everything to slide
out when dumping and I didn't need all those ridges to clean.
Lee Valley has been selling that one for more than 20 years.
http://www.leevalley.com/US/garden/p...18&cat=2,33140
I liked this simple clean design much better. I have the smaller four
liter model, fits better on my counter and is plenty large enough for
my useage... I didn't want something that holds so much it stinks
before I filled it... I typically fill this like in 4-5 days

I like the smaller one. It could almost pass for an ice bucket. I
have thought of getting one of these, BUT I hate to give up more
counter space, and they kinda look like hell if there's a liner ruffle
in view. I'd rather wash the thing out than have that liner in view.
Agh.

Went to a funeral parlor once - the jerks had a small plastic
wastebasket with a white bag liner hanging over the edges - in the
main receiving room - and to top it off, a computer generated sign
with a big arrow pointing down to the basket with the word TRASH - as
if anyone not from Mars wouldn't know. TACKEEE. I vowed I'd never go
there when I need such services. The basket was bad enough, but that
SIGN.

It was way down the line of posts. Maybe you can equate KA with a
compost can. I don't.

My daughter gave me the tumbler available at Costco for Mother's Day
last year. The other tumbler is so darn big I can't reach high enough
to get the door back on (bad arm). The compost pile (12 feet x 5
feet) is the "man and dog" thing. They tend it and turn it all winter
long (usually), but this year it was too cold too long. The tumblers
are for kitchen and garden waste. The pile is leaves and grass
clippings.

Try putting about a teaspoon or so of vodka in the oil when you fill it
next. It keeps the spray nozzle clear.

Sorry Boli, it hit the trash can about a week ago. One too many clogs.
I called it a nasty name and dumped it.

We got our composters at Costco, too. I have the tumbler and one that
is just a bottomless cube. I can get the tumbler going with some
effort, but turning the interior of the cube is a PITA.

We've a small yard now and I do not have enough input for a plain old
pile. Used to at the old house...I also remember one spring going out
there with a pitchfork to spread some goodies on the garden, dug in
and upended a whole family of rabbits that had burrowed in for the
warmth. I screamed, the rabbits went flying...what an event.

Not only that, but I realized I could probably qualify for Olympic
highjump.

How would that help, all the vodka would get ejected with the first
2-3 spritzes, the oil will float on the vodka.

Apparently you missed my reply where I listed the kitchen things I like?
And I'm not the only one who hated the Misto.

I don't have an atomizer, but one would be handy for putting a light even
layer of oil on eggplant slices before roasting. If you drizzle the oil
over, it just soaks into the eggplant at the spot where it hits; it never
spreads out as you ignorantly claim. Same thing with putting oil on
mushrooms, bread, or similar very-absorbent ingredients.

It would make sense if you remembered the earlier part of the discussion. I
knew exactly what "KA" meant in that context.

UNeducated slimeball possesses zero reading comprehension ability and
can't cook a lick... never said drizzle oil on foods. Those who
actually know how to cook brush foods with oil. Baboon ass faced
keyboard kook keeps proving all by itself that it doesn't cook
anything, the LYING NEWBIE can't drizzle at all, can't hardly
dribble... the impotent putz is lucky to mist dust! <G>

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . .
