Thursday 157! The morning after!

I use my sterling silver alot and know better than to use it on my eggs in the morning [never!!] or to wash any other way but by hand and always immediately dry by hand. If it's very old and not recently used you may have to ask a professional for help if it's really good stuff. Well worth it. Some of my "silver-plate" is nice but when it gets badly tarnished, well... either re-plate or forget. Shall I hold my pinkie up now mmmm, raspberries, vanilla and just about ANYTHING sounds wonderful!! Count me in MOFF!! I grilled some salmon and aspeer-a-gooses just now. Hollandaise sause on the quick and dirty (store bought) worked just fine, thank you very much That sly little orange/grey/mystery kitten likes salmon evidently... half my plate seems to have vanished Anyone else for anything else while the coals are hot?? Love you guys and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR GINI

Oh, and I forgot to say, Once you have it polished, the best way to keep it from needing polishing again is to use it! Regularly!

Why, shall we have a Tea at Thursdays next week to do just that? Everyone has a week to start polishing ...

Use it regularly is RIGHT, don't "save it for company" or "wait for a special occasion". We are our own company and we ARE a special occasion Just don't let it sit in water or dare put any into a dishwasher. A tea party sounds lovely Karen! I'll start planning a menu fit for the occasion ~ oh boy!!

I probably should explain what pot distilled is, to settle Laurie down if nothing else. It's simply a copper vat.

I'm glad THAT was cleared up
