Somehow, Miz Polly, *I* can not pardon you on this one.

Seeing as how *I* have been 'gimpy more than once in my lifetime and 'spect
I may again be so afore the Great Powers that Be call me to the Great
Beyond.

AND

I, also, have used gimp, sewn with gimp, tacked gimp onto newly upholstered
furniture, and Sold Gimp to other customers, I think Miz Ginger was correct
in letting us know that there are more 'correct responses' to the question
asked. 'Sides Ginger's response would have been my first one, too.....so 2
of us would have been sent to the corner.

Now, make us some of that Lemon Meringue Pie and you will be forgiven.

Butterfly (Wanting Lemon Pie and I can't have citrus--thus the virtual
request first thing in the AM)....hey, Ginger, come play with me in My
Studio ; )

Actually, I was thinking about making grandmother's tea cakes this morning.
Haven't had a tea cake attack in a decade. The recipe calls for a pound of
butter and 6 eggs. Jell-o? Anyone? Has everyone seen the water
sprinkler/twin baby moose Ginger showed us? That's such a joy to see.

Have you tried the Jell-O Fusion? I'm making Blackberry Fusion for dinner
and will put raspberries in it.
Bring the tea cakes and we'll dine together.
If you insist, I do have 'canned' whipped cream--just a bit too warm to amke
the 'real McCoy' today

oooo, you'll have lots of cyber diners there with you!
I pulled out something in foil from the freezer - probably chicken
since that is almost all I buy. Think I will make a little cake using
Sunny's recipe [1/2 cup cake mix, 1/4 cup water, microwave for 1.5
minutes] and put rainbow sherbert over it.

Ginger, that's what I thought "gimp" referred to, as well! Who knew it
was a sewing word??
