<I had the opportunity to "press the flesh" with Mike Wallace last night at a DC hotel.> Well ... I got a hug and air-kiss from Dan Rather when he spoke in Houston at Forum Club 3 yrs ago:-) Then again - that was my other life. I'm a happy gardener up in Oregon these days. I have NO idea why I waste good closet space with old designer clothes. I guess I keep them just in case I go to the "big city". Besides, it just killed me to take a $1,200 outfit to a consignment shop ... and only get $160 back. That's what I did with a few outfits before I left Houston. LOL - I'm going to Goodwill Wednesday to pick up some more gardening clothes. You missed my "60 Minutes" pot-luck dinner. I provided the smoked salmon ravioli and fresh asparagus (yummy) from my garden. Rest was pot luck. We only had 8 people, so I pulled out those Baccarat Massena glasses @$185/stem - Maybe it was $135. Can't remember. Depended on size of goblet. Funny thing. In Houston I rarely used the Baccarat. Too expensive. Had to be hand-washed. My maid broke 3. Doesn't seem to matter anymore. Now I wash the dishes. Today a friend came over to give me a "canning lesson". I got 20 lbs of mushrooms @$.97/lb. All other stores were $2.99/lb. I have this WONDERFUL easy recipe for mushroom duxelle - for canapes. Found out I could can this stuff!!! Regardless of whether Y2K's bad or not ... I found out how to have a stash of something I absolutely adore. I've gotten creative. I'm gonna use it with fettucine, sandwiches and baked potatoes. Just hope there's some left come January 00! Cheryl 221 Days till ...
