A friend of mine who was moving brought me her 6 cup black and decker food processor, deli style meat slicer and one of the older model bread machines. I told her I hated to take anything they may use but she said she had not used any of them for a few years. I can't wait to get the cleaned up and give them a try. She just married one of Jon's friends who is also blind. I havent know her for long but she seems like a very sweet lady. He did very well for himself. I love kitchen gadgets Plus I got a fabalous Italian cookbook Cathy sent to me in the mail today. I cannot wait to get to Walmart and get the things I need for some recipes I want to try in it.

:)Wow you hit the jackpot Janie! I have always wanted to give a deli-style meat slicer a try! I am glad that she gifted you with those items, I know you are going to appreciate them and use them, and you deserve them too!

I love Jon but I wish he would give me a chance to read my book. I have started three times and he has yelled for me to do something each time. Atleast Ill get a chance to go through and read it while he does PT tomorrow.
Yeah I was pretty happy with the gizmos. I downloaded the manual for it. It is an 8 cup. I have a 3 cup one and a 14 cup processor. I had wanted one about 6-8 cups so this was ideal. I found the old manual to the bread machine online and downloaded it. I cleaned it all really good from where it was in storage for ages. That slicer will be good for cheese as well as meat. It has the dial to adjust the thickness. Next time I get groceries Ill get a big piece of some sort of meat and some cheese to try it on.

Yeah that will be nice. If you have big family get togethers or such and you want to carry deli trays with fresh meats and cheeses you will save )hopefully) by slicing your own deli meats, and cheeses. Now when you and Jon have left over roast you can slice it real thin for many uses! I could go crazy wyth one of those gadgets!

Hey, Thanks for the E-books you sent me, I really appreciate that Janie!

P.S. Tell that Jon he'd better let you alone while you read your book or you'll use it to bop him one:D And you have my permission to do so!

Wow- what a haul, janie! It's like Christmas at your house! VERY nice!
