BAH! I never pre-wash.

So there!

how else do you tell it's done? toss a strand up and ... if it sticks, it's
done.
(works with macaroni, too)

Actually, I've had them up there as much as a month (don't tell my
Mother-In-Law)

The bait is sooooo tempting. But my last experiment was with free FQs; remember
I said I had "acquired" them?

I'll have to set up a whole research team to "acquire" the flannels. But, then I
could pay them with the chocolates you would send. This is going to take a while
to sort out.

next scientific experiment.]

I went to www.stitchingpostquilts.com to look at flannel. They only have
680. The apple butter ones look lovely, but just the first page of flannels
offered too many gorgeous ones. That's why I was hoping some of you could
identify some favorites. Polly

I'm hoping Anne will take the bait and test some out! Then I can
send her chocolate from various countries.

bind any of these tops, I could be in BIG trouble when I wash them. (None
have been flannel--I don't think I'd risk that!)

The best for me is not to pre-wash.

I wondered that too Patti. And also whether it loses weight as it cools?

Shona thinking spaghetti or some sort of pasta would be nice for dinner
tonight in NZ

What I want to know - when you have finishing experimenting of course -
is whether, if you leave the cooked spaghetti on a plate to dry again,
it goes back to its original dry weight?

Oh, we understand Polly. I, for one, can hardly wait to hear the results
of
your's, Sherry's and Sharon's experimental outcomes :-)

Shona who has never thought about how much weight spaghetti gains during
the
cooking process in NZ

Sorry. I can't help you with this scientific experiment. I am far too
busy
counting spaghetti strands with Sherry and Sharon. We have our
priorities,
you know. Polly

But what does it weigh? Does it weigh less? Perhaps that is the answer to
eating more and not cheating snorfle

Shona who actually likes cooked then re-dried spaghetti in NZ

No need. Ive left sketties in the colander to dry out overnight so they
are
easier to remove.... they return to a slightly smaller size than original.

The next time I accidentally leave some out, after I've cooked
dinner, I'll let you know!

No problem. I think the flannel quilt doesn't come up on the schedule until
April 3, 2007. Polly

Howdy!
Very good, Wendy. g

While at the drapery shop the other day, digging for free leftovers,
several of us commented on the silverfish scuttling thru' the
shelves of fabric. The shop owner says, "It comes that way
from the warehouse."
I always wash new fabric.

There are just as many valid reasons for not pre-washing as there are in
favor. Whichever reasons apply to you is fine with me. If I were to
receive
a squishie from your unwashed stash, for example, it's no hardship to me
just to pop it in the washer when I'm through fondling it. ;-)

Kind of gross but I learned that if you have roach problems
the same stuff you use on them will kill silverfish. They are
really destructive those silverfish. Haven't seen too much in
the way of bugs in this house. I'm not complaining but cats
kind of think they are fun to chase.
