Hi Dave,


 DD> I have a TeeVee table, part of a set of four nice blond oak w/carrier
 DD> (holder) that I scored from my local Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. If

 RH> We've got a set of those with a walnut finish, picked up at a yard
 RH> sale.

 DD> They are handy. Even if I hardly ever watch TeeVee.  Bv)=

Good for catching a stack of magazines or papers when you run out of
other flat surfaces. (G)


 DD> I don't make 'tater salad often. Or macaroni/pasta salad.

 RH> I do a Pennsylvania Dutch one at least once during the summer, a hot
 RH> German potato salad a bit more often. My mom's version of potato salad
 RH> was just potatoes, hard boiled egg and mayo (with a splash of vinegar
 RH> and celery seed) dressing. I've also done a cold potato salad by
 RH> cooking the potaotes, draing them , then adding Italian dressing and
 RH> letting them sit in that for an hour or so. By then they've absorbed
 RH> most of the dressing; what they haven't, I'll drain. Then I'll add
 RH> chopped hard boiled (steamed) eggs and a mayo/mustard dressing. Yummy!

 DD> If I use eggs in/on my 'tater or macaroni salad they are generally
 DD> sliced as garnis/topping. But I does like a good egg salad sandwich
 DD> sometimes.

I'll mix in a couple of eggs with my salad, and yes, enjoy an egg salad
sandwich from time to time.


 DD> My current favourite is a variant of the Honeycrisp ... called Cosmic
 DD> Crisp. So called, I suppose because it was developed from the Honey
 DD> Crisp and because the peel's speckles reminded someone of a space
 DD> telescope picture w/lots of stars.

 RH> I've seen them, not tried them but maybe next fall.....

 DD> They are a good duplicate for Honey Crisp - being a close cousin. I
 DD> recommended them to Dale Shipp, who was a Honet Crisp acolyte. Worked
 DD> out well for him.

Worth giving them a try. I know Dale is no longer on the Echo but have
you heard anything out of him/Gail lately?
