Re: [lace-chat] Corned Beef Water recipe
Hi, Might the US corned beef be the same as salt beef here in the UK? I haven't cooked it myself but have eaten some cooked by a neighbour and the taste was similar to corned beef.

Re: [lace-chat] St. Catherine's Day
As Jean Nathan had previously written this is a different St Catherine. April 29th is Saint Catherine of Siena, 25 March 1347 – 29 April 1380. The patron saint that we claim for lacemaking is Catherine of the Wheel (Alexandria) on November 25th.

Re: [lace-chat] pleated gathering?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I figure someone out there probably knows what I'm trying ask. I don't know the right word for it. Does anyone know what the name is for the sewing machine foot that sort of makes a row of little tiny pleats for "gathering"? Does anyone have one? Do you like how it works? I have a Bernina, and I don't think my attachment box has one of those, and maybe it would be worth buying one, so I'm wondering if anyone out here has any knowledge or experience to guide me in making a decision? Ricky I think what you are looking for is a ruffler foot. I remember having one on my mother's old hand crank Singer. Bernina do make one but I don't have it so have no idea if it will pleat as fine as you wish. I did a google search and came up with these two. http://www.berninasewingshop.co.uk/accessories-haby/a-presset-feet-old/ruffler-foot-86-p-487.html http://www.berninasewingshop.co.uk/accessories-haby/b-presser-feet-new/ruffler-foot-86v-p-489.html This is a UK supplier but I assume that other countries will also carry the full range of Bernina assessories. -- Eve Poole, Dorset, UK To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] lace book on ebay
Not only is the price of the book rather steep but the postage and packing is over the top as well. Eve London, UK. To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] Shortbread
Hi, The recipe that I have from my mother does not contain rice flour. It uses plain flour, All Purpose to those in the States. Shortbread 8 ozs. plain flour 4 ozs icing sugar (confectioners sugar I think in the States) 8 ozs butter pinch of salt (I usually omit this) Preheat the oven to 355 degrees Farheneit. Sift sugar and salt, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy, work in the flour, knead lightly into a dough. Press out into a round about 3/4 inch thick and prick over with a fork. I cut through marking the round into sections with a knife before baking. Bake in the centre of an oven at 355 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes until biscuit coloured, (light golden). Dust with caster sugar when cooled. The dough can be pressed or rolled out and cookie cutters used to cut rounds of the dough. When I make shortbread biscuits I use the above recipe and roll to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. The cooking time needs adjusting perhaps only 8 minutes for cut shapes of this thickness. Maybe I will make shortbread next week for our next lace meeting as it's my turn to provide the refreshments. Eve London, UK.
