I love seeing the older tractors still being used, I mow each week with a 35yr old Massey Ferguson garden tractor. It still works and looks like new, probably outlast me!

I've already posted the coral fabric a couple of days ago; see above. It won't look any different with the fringe applied. I cannot believe no one has commented on my white (but not antique white) windows (or mantel). I have to paint those still. I've been waiting to paint them until I removed the old drapery rod. Now I can do it. Good news today: Calico Corners extended its 25% off fabric sale through 1/26, so I have time to wait for my samples to arrive before committing to the RL Foxberry plaid. I would get it somewhere else and feel less pressured, but CC's price is more than $20 less than even places in fabric row here in the city because I've been told that CC has special RL pricing (on top of which I can get the 25% off). I ordered a bunch of memos of the discontinued fabric from Robert Allen today. They have to be sent from SC, so it'll probably take a few business days.

No wait! There are Carefree pads! But yes, the gum is what I'll use. I noticed I have two Carefree's on there- I'll have to think of some other kind of "smile." :) Blessings AGAIN, Haley

I was going to say the same. Go to the Cookware or Cooking forums. There have been many discussions on cookwares. As for copper, the tri-ply has a copper layer too. Whatever you chose, make sure the cookware applies to your needs and method of cooking. For example, I like to brown meat and seafood before throw them in the oven. With a high heat cookware, I wouldn't need to make changes and just put the whole thing in the oven. Like Muscat mentioned, you'd want to chose a cookware that is made of the same material all the way up to the sides for even heating and not just at the bottom. Good luck and happy cooking =o)
