Hi Dave,


 DD> I can't do that. My cabinets are hung from the ceiling.

 RH> I've had that in various places, was glad to see the open tops in this
 RH> house when we were house hunting.

 DD> Even so, if the topds were "open" they'd have to be for "dead" storage
 DD> because I'd have to climb a ladder (or chair) tp reach anything up
 DD> that high.

Most of the time I'll ask Steve to do the climbing, I will from time to
time (if he's not around, don't want to wait for him, etc). But always
with a step stool, broke both wrists using a chair (with wheels) once.

 DD>   Source: Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book - Fine Old Recipes;
 DD>   :       Culinary Arts Press, 1936.

 RH> I've got a copy of that floating around somewhere in my cook book
 RH> collection.

 DD> The only 2 cookbooks I still own are the early 1960's New York Times
 DD> Cookbook and the BH&G cookbook I bought in the early '70s. All the
 DD> rest have found new homes and their contents are in my Meal Master.
 DD> The last cookbook I bought - "Two Fat Ladies - Obsessions" is wrapped
 DD> and will be gifted to my S-I-L as a holiday gift.

 RH> I like picking them up, reading them and trying something new now and
 RH> again. The shrimp recipe was from a cook book I picked up at the campus
 RH> Sharing Shop--free thrift shop--I'll probably sort thru my books and
 RH> make a donation at some point.

 DD> Here's one of my favourite dishes that I discovered whilst browsing
 DD> the NYT cookbook my Mom gave me: (both versions - original and my
 DD> take)

 DD>       Title: Baked Fish Parmigiana
 DD>  Categories: Five, Seafood, Cheese, Sauces
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

 RH> I think they're both in my saved recipe file on Steve's set up.

 DD> Loo and Weller both jumped on my case about fish w/tomato sauce. I did
 DD> serve it to Michael on one of his visits and he (grudgingly) admitted
 DD> that it was "the exception that proved the rule".  Bv)=

 DD> Here's a fishy tomato recipe that I made before I'd ever met a
 DD> Wegman's stupormarkup. It's right tasty.


 DD>       Title: Wegman's Fish w/Tomatoes, Olives & Capers
 DD>  Categories: Seafood, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

 DD>       6    Filets-Roughy, Trout, Sole
 DD>     1/2 c  Flour
 DD>     1/4 c  Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Flounder would be good too. And yes, I keep capers on hand as I use them
when I make chicken picotta. (G)
