Homestead mailing list

["Lynda" <lurine AT softcom.net>]

Can't get the folks in the kitchen here.  It is WAY too small.  So the dough 
gets Kitchenaid'd and then set to rest.  Then folks toss their "pie" and add 
goodies for individuals as the stones in the ovens are all nicely heated by 
then.

However, you are again broadbrushing.  Some folks have gadgets because they 
like gadgets and have fun with gadgets.  NOT because they are afraid of 
doing without but because gadgets are interesting.  The kidlets love gadgets 
and routinely pick them up at the flea markets, off freecycle and at the 
thrift stores.  Take them apart and make new or more gadgets out of them. 
Technical puzzles.

And folks with automatic washers don't do laundry until bazillion times 
everyday.  Sheesh, I'd suggest a dose of reality and a trip through the 
homes of some regular everyday folks!
