Notes

Welcome Niko,

So, what island do you hale from again?

That's funny to me that you are having a hard time finding it. Here in Denver because of the large Latino population it can almost always be found right in the local grocery mega-mart.

Well, Denver is a lot bigger than my little po-dunk town.

It's worth noting that there are different forms of tripe, depending upon from what part of the digestive system the tripe was harvested.

You're quite right Quatermaster James,

I perfer the fourth stomach. The first stomach (looks like brain coral to me), doesn't have the same flavor. I have yet to try the second or third stomachs though.

Oh...I know why you like that shot so much...

It looks just like you!

Chlorinated water plays havoc on all nature fibers…look what it does to blondes!

Come now...she loves it! Anything to make you happy, IronBess...

Yes, if you get over the fact of what it really is...it does have a wonderful flavor to it. I'm calling around some of the local supermarkets here to find out if they have the 'basic' ingredient. So far, I haven't had much luck. Need to call a butcher in Eden.

This wonderful recipe is Haunting Lily's mother's.

You may use Cow, but Sheep can also be used...

Lily's mom unfortunately didn't believe in measuring spices. Her general rule was once around the pot,

Yes, PM me...

True. But I want to stick to period meals of the time...(we have a mix crewe from various places...should be neat to introduce items from various countries.)

Yet, we are both from Italian Cities in New York State.

Besides…I won't tell anyone that Tripe is Cow's stomach if you don't…. Whoops! Oh well…they'll eat it and like it!Uhm…it has to be the fourth stomach…I prefer that one the best.

Looking up a recipe for Tripe. We're gonna eat like Kings at Pike River!

Now...on my work computer has the ultimate screen saver...

PYRATE NINJA JACK!

Great News Dutch.

I may have also found something that could help your cause. Something to look into at least.

Brava to Kate and her fine work. Lovely look for you RedJessi.

I was at Joanne's today and found the horsehair braid stuff....linen....they had some cotton (mostly blends) lace....no wire....and then I couldn't remember what color linen I was going to make it....duh.

The wire I used was millinery wire from Farthingales. I purchased a coil of 16 gauge wire. This, of course, is much more than you need for one project, but check the web, I am sure they sell this in smaller amounts.

Kate,

As far as colour of linen. Stick with whites/unbleached or optic. It will go with everything!
