Well, I hide those Cardboard Morton
salt thingies up in my cupboard, might use those Vee, if I cooked more
needed something to use that opened big like that! Isn't that why
they used that with a big opening, because people wanted the sugar!?
That's a good idea, but only in the winter here, because it would stick down
here in FL, Vee! That's a good tip for snowbirds here though! Tee
Hee.

That's cool, Lynn, that
you've actually seen some being sold again though! Plastic is so overated
at times! Plastic is so elegant! Glass medal is still elegant
in my book! You take care of the medal/glass stuff, but admit it's
heavy!

I heard over the
weekend Boston got 16 inches of snow! Argh! We've ben getting some
much neede rain here in Central FL, which is GREAT! Have a good day
everyone, Cathy Raber

Oh Vee! You're funny!!! I just saw the sugar thingys
for sale at the

Dollar Tree Store around here. In fact, I picked it up and said
to the

neighbor who goes grocery shopping with me, "Hey! Remember
these!!!!!!" I

just did this on Friday!!! Funny it should pop up on the PADUTCH
list!!!

They aren't as nice as the ones from the counter, but they are for sale
for

a buck now!!!! Great idea for the parmesan!!!!!!! Now
why didn't I think

of that one!

Thanks!!!!

Lynn

Do you remember sitting up at the counter at a diner or the counter
in

Woolworth's 5 10 and the person sitting next to you asked you to
"Pass the

sugar, please"? Of course, you were only too glad to oblige him,
you

reached for the sugar container that was in front of you and handed it
to

him. He said, "Thank you."



Now I don't know if restaurants or the like still use
them. I rather

doubt it. Restaurants now have small packets of sugar or Sweet
'N Low. But

back when I used to sit up at counters for breakfast or lunch or a hot
fudge

sundae a sugar container was of clear ribbed glass about six inches
high

with a chrome screw-on cap that had a little hinged flap where
the sugar

poured out of.
