Hello everyone, over the weekend I tried emailing some recipes and I noticed
that they weren't on the list. So I decided to send this message as a
tester.

 

Happy Cooking,

[CnD] Special Recipes

2013-05-29 Thread Tom dickhoner
My wife and I want to lose 30 pounds and keep the weight off. I have tried to 
eat smaller portions but have been unable to take the weight off. My wife has 
to go by food exchanges and buy special frozen meals at the store.

If anyone on the list has recipes that have the exchanges of calories in them, 
that would be appreciated.

We are not looking for diabetic recipes. We want recipes that are low in fats, 
low in carbs and will help us start to lose weight and maintain it.

We both want to eat the same meals together. That way, I can still prepare 
meals and keep my cooking skills alive.

My wife,  Teresa, is sighted. I would enjoy preparing meals as I have been 
doing with changes that will be healthy to both of us and our younger daughter 
when she is home.

[CnD] Foil

2013-05-28 Thread Tom dickhoner
I have never heard anything negative about aluminum foil except that you might 
not want to swallow if if a little sliver of it is accidentally not removed 
from your baked potatoe. Other than that, it is perfectly safe. The only thing 
I use it for is to cover a baking dish for refrigeration.

Someone on the list wrote last fall saying she was afraid to use her microwave 
oven for health reasons.

We can't worry about things. All we can do is to do what we know, do what we 
know or think is safe, and that is all.

[CnD] There's Nothing Like Outdoor Cooking

2013-05-26 Thread Tom Dickhoner
I loved things cooked on a smoker, a grill with hickory wood, or, for that 
matter an open fire.

When my wife used to grill out, she actually grilled corn cobs. My son-in-law 
also grilled corn cobs on the grill, and it tasted wonderful. There's nothing 
like an open fire or the grill for meat. It has that special taste.

[CnD] We Need To Get Back On Topic

2013-05-21 Thread Tom dickhoner
I have been going through all my e-mails this morning. We need to get back on 
topic. All of this bickering back and forth about recipes and what was copied 
and not copied is just cluttering the site along with the e-mails received on 
the list.

Let this be a warning to all before the list moderator says it.

Save him some time, and do what the list was meant for.

[CnD] Changing The Subject Line Redone Again

2013-05-13 Thread Tom Dickhoner
It took some fiddling around, but here is something that should be of help to 
all people who are having trouble Changing the subject line. This should work 
on all kinds of e-mail clients and it makes no difference what screen-reading 
software you use. I am a Jaws Screen Review user, so here goes the tip for 
removing subject lines or changing them.

What I do is to do is to hit the control R for reply. When I get the message or 
the word edit, I shift back  to the subject using the shift tab. Once I get to 
the subject, I copy and paste using the control C. Then I use the control x to 
cut what was copied. You also can put the cursor to the end of the line and 
backspace. This takes more time, but it gets the job done.

I hope this helps, and I also hope this puts this topic to rest once and for 
all.

I still think the best thing to do is to make a new message with a new subject 
line. This should avoid all confusion to the readers.

[CnD] Don't Give Up

2013-05-13 Thread Tom dickhoner
Sometimes it might sound harsh with What Dale says, but he is only trying to 
make the list better.

If anyone can't change the subject line, what he or she should do is just to 
type anew message with a new subject line. That way, one can send messages of 
different lengths and also send different recipes. There's nothing worse than 
having a message with the same subject line with many replies added to it.

I hope this helps.

[CnD] Changing The Subject

2013-05-13 Thread Tom dickhoner
That is an excellent idea. If someone on the list wants to reply to the whole 
list, it really is a good to just change the subject and reply that way. This 
would avoid cluttering up the message, and it would definitely be easier to 
follow.

That is a great suggestion. I hope people do that more.

Re: [CnD] Better techniques for spreading

2013-02-17 Thread Tom dickhoner
Will, first of all, there a couple of things to know about spreading bread. 
I'll try to share them with you, so, here goes.

The first thing to know is that because you are blind, your fingers are your 
eyes. The only way you can get that butter spread on the toast is to put the 
butter on a spoon or a knife, use that silverware to get the butter on the 
bread the best you can. Use a finger to get the butter or catsup on evenily.

Always keep in mind these two things. Sighted people look what they are doing 
when spreading. You need to use your fingers to help you know what you are 
doing.

The other thing to always be sure to do is to make sure you wash your hands 
before doing anything with food. Your fingers aren't going to hurt the bread.

As for the squeeze bottles for mustard, catsup,pickle relish, or sour cream are 
great. I give those bottles one good squirt, and I use my clean fingers to 
spread the condiments evenly on the hotdog or burger.

Hopefully this will help. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to 
ask them. Someone is always willing to help and to answer your questions

Nothing that is done on this list is anywhere out of line. The whole purpose is 
to share recipes and to learn how to do certain things with practice.

I have learned how to do an easy shepherd's pie. I have two more involved 
recipes for that which I will practice soon. I have the ingredients for the 
awesome pot roast which only uses cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. I will 
try that and let the list know how it turns out.

Nobody is just critical. Everyone, including myself is just being helpful in

That's the problem with a list like this. It is hard to respond personally 
because you have to go all the way through the names to find the one you want. 
If you have a pc, it's even more difficult because you can't always find the 
list of names on the message.

That would be great if the list was configured to include a person's email
in each message when you respond to it, but this list isn't configured that

[CnD] Reheating Things In The Microwave Oven

2012-11-19 Thread Tom Dickhoner
I remember very well the scare that went around that cell phones caused cancer. 
I have heard that you can't stand too close to the television because some of 
the waves can do damage, and on and on it goes.

People have used microwave ovens for years without all the harmful results. We 
use it the most for heating up left-overs and popping popcorn. We have had no 
trouble with it.

It is the best way to heat up food when you are in a hurry.

Re: [CnD] Peapod's checkout process is ruined for blind people

2012-10-25 Thread Tom Dickhoner
Kathy, you are absolutely right on this one. I agree with you entirely on 
this one.


I started doing online banking just over a year ago to pay my bills, make 
deposits, etc. I could add payees, make payments, delete payees all very 
easily.


Fifth Third Bank wanted to make it more user-friendly to the sighted. I even 
called the bank expressing my concerns as to how this might affect people 
who are blind and using screen-reading software.


Sure enough, It did make it very difficult to do my banking. I placed many 
calls to the bank, people were going to contact me, but I heard nothing.


My story ends somewhat happily, but not completely happy. I used a different 
web browser. I can do my banking, but it isn't easy. These websites should 
be left alone, or, better yet, have a link on the site that would allow you 
to do business as you always have without disrupting other people.

I was really REALLY upset when I discovered I could no longer enter on 
what used to be a 'delivery slot' link.  There isn't even a check box to 
check by whatever time is wanted; it just says 'select', but it's not a 
link that can be entered on, or there isn't a box that could be check by 
the word 'select'.  Why did something that worked have to be changed? 
Please implement one of my suggestions to fix this.  I'm totally blind and 
using a screen reader; I had always valued that Peapod was as accessible 
as it, now I have to say, __USED to be.  It's all very good that a 
customer service rep completed the checkout process for me this time, but 
I might want to shop when there isn't somebody to do this for me; checking 
out independently is something I should be able to do, like I used to be 
able to.  Did you even run this past any blind testers who would be using 
screen readers?



I'd please appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.  I'm informing 
other people who have used your service and/or who would be interested in 
knowing about this.

Now, there are schools that are going to ban kids from even bringing flaming 
hot cheetos to school.  The snacks will be confiscated.  Their reasoning? 
The snacks have no nutritional value, they are salty, and studies have shown 
that they, might???, have the same effects on kids as alcohol or drugs.  The 
key word was separated by punctuation, including those question marks.  In 
other words, they're not sure about the findings yet.  Come on, you idiots! 
To a certain point, isn't the term "healthy snacks" an oxymoron?  What is 
the purpose of a snack?  It's supposed to taste good!  If it is healthy, so 
much the better, but does it have? to be??  Schools should focus on 
education, and they should not be nutrition police.  We don't pay them to 
keep our kids healthy.  We pay them to educate our kids, and they're not 
doing that, either!  It's getting ridiculous!  Parents should take care of 
the kids' diets, and schools should take care of kids' education.  They 
should work together for the betterment of the kids, but the schools, in 
this case, are going way! to! far!

2012-10-19 Thread Tom Dickhoner
That's the whole point about this. There's way too much government involved and 
less think and acting on our own.

This is what this campaign is all about for the presidency. People want 
programs for everything. That's why I fear that we might have 4 mor years of 
Abama because people don't want to give up the things that are given to them

There are some people who say that we need to get off this subject. This is a 
cooking site to be sure, but we also need to vent.

I'm glad to know that there are others who have responded and feel that it is a 
sad day when we are limited on what kids can take to school.

Our church has pot luck meals often. We know the people, and there is no 
question as to what is brought.

That's another story for another time.

Some times, kids swap things in their lunch boxes with friends.
More and more, more nutritious choices are being enforced, with Michelle
Obama and the kids physical fitness issue and weight management, eating
healthier, etc. Like Katie stated, the cleanliness of the kitchens at home
is a factor, but then, again, that can stretch anywhere, like to church
potlucks, for that! Matter, plus, the very possibility of people sneaking
contraband into the cakes, cookies, brownies, etc. very sad, and
unfortunate, but just sign of the times, the world we live in!

Hello Shira,

It's not just the U.S. who have such rules regarding children's 
allowable foods and snacks.
Here in Canada our laws are very similar in many ways.  But the 
reasons given by our schools and other officials tell us that the 
main reason is related to the increase in allergic reactions by some 
children to specific types of food contents.
For example, since about 1 in 100 people may have some allergy to 
peanuts, it is now illegal for anyone to supply peanuts, or peanut 
butter, or any food with any peanut content to any child outside 
their own home.
The reason they state that packaged foods are necessary is 
theoretically to allow the teacher, or other supervisory staff, to 
read the contents to determine if the child should be allowed to keep 
that particular item.
I suppose the fear is that if any child has a food product that may 
contain anything anyone might be allergic to, there is a possibility 
that the allergic child could come in contact with that item and 
suffer health problems in the process.
One question I must ask myself is, why would someone's allergic child 
come in contact with my child's lunch?  Is theft so rampant now that 
it's simply expected that anything taken to a school by my child is 
more than likely to be taken from him by another child?
Yes, the entire issue is a definite statement about what our society 
is becoming.

Re: [CnD] Halloween Traditions and Changes! Bobbing for Apples!

I really enjoyed bobbing for apples at camp and during Halloween. I enjoyed 
getting all kinds of treach such as ginger bread men, Babby Ruths, and all 
kinds of candy.


The landscape for Halloween has changed. It is now in the afternoons and on 
Sundays.

Don't worry about that. School Treats is in the subject line. It's a shame 
that we can only take store-bood cookies to school. Part of being a mother 
is making treats to school so the kiddies and their friends can share with 
their other classmates. It's a shame, but those are the rules, and you have

Sisi, I was struck by Kimberly's message about not taking candy or treats to 
school. I suppose the reason is that with all the drugs around, the cookies 
might be tainted, and to prevent that, she cannot bring treats to the kids' 
school.

My suggestion is to buy spices at Olie's if one is local to you.  The Olie's
brand of ginger for instance costs 97 cents for a jar and it's six times the
quantity of MacCormack's spices.  This is often the case with most other
spices sold at Olie's too.

[CnD] A Miny Muffin Sheet

2012-09-14 Thread Tom Dickhoner
For anyone who doesn't know what a mini muffin sheet is, here's what it is. If 
anyone on the list has had a small Rieces Peanut Butter cup, the cups on the 
sheet are a bit larger than that. They are smaller than your standard muffin 
tin.

The standard muffin tin for large cupcakes makes 6 muffins or cupcakes per tin. 
The mini muffin tin or sheet might make 12 mini muffins.

I hope this helps.

Lora, don't be surprised. Not only blind people make mistakes due to ignorance 
or stupidity, but sighted people are guilty of doing the same thing.

When I was living with my parents, they had company, and they hired someone to 
clean up the dishes and put the food away. My parents had a punch bowl they 
received as a wedding gift. At the time they were married 39 years or 
something. The The person who washed the punch bowl  didn't let it set out 
before washing it in hot water. She took the cold punch bowl and immediately 
put it in the hot, soapy water. The bowl didn't shatter, but it was badly 
cracked, and it had to be thrown away. My mother was a little bit annoyed. It 
was an act of stupidity on her part.

I have wondered about that myself.  I have a small casserole from when we 
got married so that was 39 years ago.  It is made by Corning.  I notice it 
does not seem to be microwave safe.  It gets a little warmer than some of my 
newer casseroles.
I always put casseroles on top of cookie sheets when I use them just for 
that reason.  About 17 years ago I had some friends staying with us and when 
she made a tuna casserole for us one day, she took my 9 by 13 casserole out 
and put it on top of the stove and it shattered.  I was shocked, stood there 
with my mouth open in amazement because this was a sighted person.  Things 
like that are only supposed to happen to us, I thought and it never has 
happened to me.
Well, a new casserole made a nice gift from my son.

Nancy, the moderator might be upset as he sometimes is about a lot of things

asking the question. Many of us use the computer for our recipes and such. 
If there is a question about the way Jaws reads something. We have to let

The list is not down, and there is nothing wrong with the e-mail. Sometimes 
people have so many recipes that they send, and I might have 40 or more 
messages sent to me at a time. Then there are those times when noone writes. 
That means that at that time people who send recipes don't have any to send.

From: "Charles Rivard" ,"Tom Dickhoner" code is placed right near one end of the bag, and the end of the bag is 
sort

of bent so that it blocks the scanner's view of the bag.  So you have to
make sure that the end is moved away from the bag.

I also find that, at times, I am moving the machine a bit too fast, and 
miss

the bar code.  And it sometimes works better from a distance of about 8
inches or so.  Be careful, though, that there isn't another product nearby
that has a bar code that might be picked up by the scanner.  When scanning 
4

or so bottles of pop, I've found that mistake.  It scanned the bottle next
to the one I wanted instead of the right one.  Oops?

[CnD] Your Labels

2012-05-01 Thread Tom Dickhoner
I believe someone wanted to know how those labels work. What happens is that 
you have two kinds of labels. The silky labels are the kind you iron on if you 
want to know the color of a dress or an article of clothing. The label has a 
bar code. You can record what you want, and you can make the message as long as 
you want to make it.

Becky, your other labels have a rubber band or a rubber string around them. You 
can identify your jars or pill bottles or your cds or cassetts. The back pulls 
off the labels. You put the label on what you want to mark, and you record what 
you want making it as long or as short as you want it to be.

When you pull out an article of clothing, or a c d, all you have to do is to 
run the scanner of what you are trying to identify, and you will hear the name 
in your own voice. That's pretty handy.

I hope this helps not only Becky but anyone else who needs help.

Re: [CnD] The I. Mate Summitt Case

Bonnie, good for you! I agree with you! First of all, I love my I. Mate Summit. 
It is great. I was very disappointed because I wasn't equipped witheverything I 
needed. I had to specially order the headset, or, in this case, the ear bud. 
The labels were all in the box with the Summit.

There really aren't that many pockets in the case. You can put the ear bud in, 
but no matter where you put it, the case won't close properly.

Let us know what you find. I might call Invision America myself. The Summit 
fits fine by itself which is how it came in the first place. Either you will 
ruin what you put in there, or the case won't close properly.

redesign the case.  I also suggested that instead of the velcro on the

the velcro was too safe, especially if people had hands full.  I guess 
we'll see what happens.

My question to you is this. Would any of us who are on the list be able to tell

recipes for a wedding reception. On the Sunday before they arrived, our older 
daughter tried to make a keesh in the conventional oven. It had uneven 
temperatures. We purchased either a Maytag or a Whirlpool oven. We have had it 
almost 2 years. It beeps, so it is going to be perfect for me. I have no doubt 
that I can use it.

For all who are on the list, I took advantage of the great special dave gave us 
on the I.Mate Summitt. I can't wait until I receive it. It will be great to be 
able to open the Fridge or freezer and to know what is in there.

[CnD] Fruits Or Vegetables

2012-04-13 Thread Tom Dickhoner
First of all, the question of whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable has 
been disputed for several years. It never ever got resolved.

As far as fruits or vegetables having seeds is definitely a curious question to 
be sure. Potatoes are tuber vegetables. They produce from themselves. An onion 
is the same way. Plant an onion in the ground, don't pick them, and the plants 
go to seeds for replanting. Carrots, lettuce, and radishes are a couple of 
examples of foods turning to seed if left in the ground.

Berries of all kinds come from schutes.

This all comes down to one thing. Fruits or vegetables will always be debated.

It's not a silly conversation, and it does have a lot to do with cooking.

I enjoy these writings, and they are fun for discussing.

Re: [CnD] Setting a digital oven.

2012-04-12 Thread Tom Dickhoner
I agree with you. I always figured with any electrical appliance, as long as it 
beeps, there is hope. You and I are thinking along the same lines, and this is 
great. With sighted assistance, I should be fine.

Subject: [CnD] Setting a digital oven.

Hi, Tom,

When I was working as a Rehab Teacher in Connecticut, I often helped people to 
learn to set a digital oven.  The temperature set button beeps every time you 
touch it, and the temperature goes up or down in five degree increments.  So, 
you have to count the beeps as you go.  For example, to set the oven to 400 
degrees from a starting point of 350, you would have to count ten beeps.  With 
some practice, this is easy.

You can try this with a sighted person watching you the first few times to 
verify that the temperature setting is correct.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

Re: [CnD] Digital Ovens

2012-04-12 Thread Tom Dickhoner
John, the oven is programmed on how you touch the controls. The lady at the 
agency for the blind told my wife that the control is so sensitive that instead 
of tapping for one degree you could possibly touch too hard and you might go 
five degrees or higher.

My wife doesn't agree with me, but my thinking is that I have to learn what 
touch to use. If I'm not sure, I can always start over. My sister-in-law who is 
sighted and others have told me that if the oven beeps I have hope. I agree 
with this.

What kind of oven do you use? Let me know. The old fashioned dial oven was 
great. This digital has done us more harm than good.

   Hi, have your wife look at the oven and see if the temperature control 
goes up or down in 5dg increments.  I think this is the normal dsetting.  I 
have a digital oven and I use it without any problems.  Just be careful when 
changing the temperature control or if you think you have maid a mistake 
start over.  Use a light touch on the temperature control.  A 5dg variance 
would not probably make much difference in a recipe.  good luck

We now have a digital oven. My wife is sighted. She put special touch dots 
on the oven for bake, start, and a dot to identify where to cancel and turn 
off the oven is.

When the oven is heated to the proper temperature it beeps one long beep to 
let you know it is ready. The automatic temperature is 350 degrees, the 
standard baking temperature for many recepes.

The oven beeps when a sighted person touches the temperature.

My problem is this. My wife called the local agency for the blind and asked 
one of the case workers how a sightless person such as myself can operate a 
digital oven. This case worker told my wife that digital ovens are too 
difficult to operate. She told her that you could touch the temperature 
control pannel too hard, and you might set the temperatures 5 degrees 
instead of one degree.

I see where she is coming from to a point, but if you bake everything at 350 
degrees, you are hampered because you have to double or triple the time of 
cooking.

Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated.

[CnD] A Full Size Microwave Oven

2012-03-21 Thread Tom Dickhoner
This message is for Dale, but it is for anyone else who might be able to be of 
help.

The March Madness special on Microwave Ovens is great for one person who lives 
in an apartment. The oven that is offered by the Mice is way too small. We need 
a larger microwave oven that will fit perfectly above our range. We have 
limited counter space.

If anyone would know where we can get a large Microwave oven with a braille 
pannel that would be great.

In 1986, about a year after my wife and I were married, we went to Sears in 
Cincinnati. Sears was able to get a microwave with a braille pannel on it and I 
loved it. When the oven went bad and we had to replace it, Sears said the 
company that made the pannels stopped making them.

If anyone including Dale knows where I can get a good microwave oven that is 
large and user-friendly to sightless people, let me know.

Charles, I was not accusing anyone falsely or making accusations of any kind. 
It seems that in this list there is a message where someone doesn't have a 
subject line, the mistake is mentioned, and then the person sends a not 
apologizing for the error of his or her ways. This kind of thing just cloggs up 
the list.

If a note has no subject line, either read it, delete it, move on, and if the

We have a missions' conference at our church this weekend. If anyone has a 
sauer kraut recipe, please pass that information onto me.

Someone said they had one with brought worsts, new potatoes, and apple which 
sounded good.

What are new potatoes? Do they have to be sliced once they are out of the can?

How about the apple, can canned ables be used, or do you peal, core and cut the

Braille cookbooks, possibly where they came from and perhaps what they
cost? Would it be better to post information about the sites such as
Horizons for the Blind, National Braille Association, National Braille
Press, etc. I usually like to check things out myself. One book might
be meaningless to me but just what someone else needs. At the same
time, I don't want to leave non-Braille users feeling left out. I hate
cookbooks on cassette because they usually are not tone indexed. I
realize that I need to send the promised recipes before I start
another project. I just want your thoughts. Am I coming across as too
pushy? I don't want to do that at all.

Hi,

I think there's no diference between the sides of aluminum foil. As for 
cutting it straight, you have a sharp edge along the side of the box. role 
out the foil as much as you need, feel the sharp edge with your fingers 
and cut the paper along that edge. I hope that's clear enough. I guess 
it's easier to demonstrate than to explain in writing. :)

Does it make a difference which side faces in or out when wrapping 
something in aluminum foil for cooking?  If so, how can you tell which 
side is which?  Also, anyone know of a really good way to cut the foil 
straight rather than tearing it by mistake?  These are probably simply 
answered, but thanks in advance.

[CnD] Our Six Can Chili Recipe

2012-02-02 Thread Tom Dickhoner
Now that we are talking about chili, here is a 6-can chili recipe that is not 
too hot, in fact, it isn't hot at all. Here It gos

Ingredients

one pound of hamburger or ground beef browned well.

In a large crock pot add the following:

2 cans kidney beans,

two cans of tomatoes,

2 cans tomato sauce

After you have the hamburger, tomato sauce, and kidney beans all in your crock, 
add an envelope of McCormick Chili Mix.

We had much discussion on the list all week, but Dale would tell you you have 
to get your hands in there and mix the ingredients.

Cook for about 3 hours on high or all day or longer on low. I made a pot last 
Friday. I hope to finish it tomorrow as I don't like to keep food in the fridge 
more than a week.

[CnD] Loading A Dish Washer

2012-02-02 Thread Tom Dickhoner
Jerry, your landlord is violating the laws that have to do with accessible help 
for people with disabilities. Perhaps you could meet with your landlord and 
tell him what you need. Wit the Pen Friend, your landlord could put the label 
where it needs to be on the dishwasher, and you can record what you need.

Hope this helps you.

That's right. The Pen Friend doesn't read bar codes. Still it's nice to have 
labels that you record yourself, and you can record them exactly the way you 
want to record them. That's handy! You weren't at all confusing.

Keep in mind that the PenFriend does not read universal bar codes that are 
on supermarket items.  It reads what you stick on things after you record 
the label you want to be heard.  A can of corn with a dot that has a 
recorded message on it will be identified, while a can in the store that you 
have not labeled will not be identified.  I hope this didn't sound too 
confusing.  In short, you do all the labeling.  It plays back the recordings 
you made.

If you want to be able to identify items in the supermarket that have bar 
codes on them, you would be better off, if you can afford one, to buy a bar 
code reader such as those from

www.envisionamerica.com

such as the ID Mate, Omni, or Summit bar code readers.

[CnD] The Pen FriendRe: loading a dishwasher

2012-02-01 Thread Tom Dickhoner
Heidi, I was very excited about the Pen Friend. I do have questions before I 
actually order one. My question to you is this. How do you know what a label 
is on a can? Does the Pen Friend read the bar code to you so that you can 
record the label yourself for easy Access? If you need to have sighted help 
for labeling the cans, then it isn't going to be much help.


How much training is needed to operate the pen friend. If it is as small as 
you say it is, and if it is so helpful and can be used without sighted help, 
then it is worth it.

Clear dymo tape is your friend when it comes to making labels.  It does 
not

mar the surface and in the event that there is sticky residue when you
remove the labels, that can be removed with a product such as Goo Gone.

Just to add to this, once you are familiar with the types of dishes
and utensils you have in your kitchen I think it is the easiest to
load the dish washer as you go. When I finish eating or finish with a
drinking glass I put it into the dish washer. This makes it much
easier, and you don't have dishes sitting around on the counter to get
in the way or break. When I unload the clean dishes, I don't have any
problem as I can recognize the different types of dishes I use. Hope
this helps

Heidi, I heard the demonstration of the pen friend on youtube. It is quite an 
instrument!

I have several questions about it. Would Heidi or anyone on the list be able to 
answer these questions for me?

1. The big question for me is how much does it cost?

2. How can I get it in the United States?

3. It sounds like you need sighted help with it to know what cans you have in 
your pantry. Can you actually hold it up to the dish washer and find your 
settings without sighted help?

4. Does Dale have something like it? Perhaps Dale can help me with this 
question.

How much is the cost for lablers. I would like to have one, but I shouldn't 
have to pay thousands of dollars to get one.

Any help that can be given would be grea
