That's from your cruise, isn't it? You don't have to dress up so purty if we get together for soup, though. It's strictly comfort.<BR/><BR/>Kate, I still smile, too. Shall we have haggis and Scotch for the next picnic?

Your freezer talents will be most useful! And then we'll have another picnic!

If I lived nearer, I'd come. <BR/><BR/>I have a 1938 Sunbeam Mixmaster with half the atatchments that were made. Among them is a slicer...and boy is it a goodie. With two blades too. I don't think it was ever used until I got it.Mage And Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-57814788170122083272007-09-18T09:23:00.000-07:002007-09-18T09:23:00.000-07:00Darn, John -- if I had to move when I cleaned the freezer, I'd never touch it again! (smile)<BR/><BR/>Bonnie and Ava, I think I can respond to both of you in one: Ava, Bonnie and I have very similar V-slicers but apparently there is a difference in how well they work. Bonnie, from what you've told me, I'm wondering if the blades are sharp enough. Maybe a professional knife sharpener could fix them for you?<BR/><BR/>Ava, for the model I have, you can read about it here: http://www.thewhitewhale.com/vslicer.htm<BR/>Bonnie's version can be found here:<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2tql6a<BR/>As for the grape salsa, if you check in my Link List for Wolfie's Mutterings and click on it, at her site, scroll down to the Aug. 28th entry titled "De-lish-us" and you'll find the recipe for the best darned salsa imaginable.<BR/><BR/>Whew! I think that covers everthang!Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-6501619646108771002007-09-18T08:09:00.000-07:002007-09-18T08:09:00.000-07:00I don't have a v slicer, whatever that is. Must be a handy gadget. More info please.<BR/><BR/>The soup sounds good, but hubby wouldn't eat it, so I'd have to do it all myself. Sounds very healthy and low fat and all that.<BR/><BR/>Also puzzled about grape salsa. Seems weird to me. But if you say so....<BR/><BR/>AvaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-13340817800550446462007-09-18T06:10:00.000-07:002007-09-18T06:10:00.000-07:00Sounds good. My v slicer is only good for white potatoes, onions and don't even think about trying to slice carrots unless you have a strong arm! Haven't tried cabbage yet. Getting stuff to fit on the holder and still work is another problem.bonniehttp://mizbee.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-23276132653476746092007-09-17T23:41:00.000-07:002007-09-17T23:41:00.000-07:00Heh! We have a family joke that, when it comes time to sort the freezer out, we have to move house. Kidding? Nope... :-)John Baileyhttp://oldgreypoet.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
