Class munchies

Personally, I would prefer that people not be walking by my quilting/sewing area with crumbs falling from their hands and mouths. And then they pick up what I am working on and get their slimy paws on my fabrics. Water isn't so bad -- it usually dries without spotting.

The last class I went to, we took a lunch break. Some brought their own. Others walked over to the restaurant across the parking lot where the class instructors had negotiated a quilter's discount for the day.

I would prefer that an instructor be available for questions during lunch break or that he/she take a break too.

I'm with Kay. I am tenacious about keeping my hands and area clean particularly because I stitch for preemies and they don't need anything to harm them. OTOH, skinny old ladies must be fed frequently. =) I've been looking for a container that would hold a hot dip at a nice temp for snacks and parties. There are lots of killer-good dips that demand some manner of serving and maintaining at a high temperature. I can not figure this one out. There are pretty things that are set over a tea-light sort of candle; a Thermos would be okay but klutzy, anything that has to have electricity would be a nuisance, some solutions look downright dangerous. How do you serve a hot dip? Recipes available. Polly

Try a small crock pot. I would trust the electricity over the rest. Also the temperature keeps warmer keeping the salmanella away (spelled wrong but what can we say. That kind of day.)

How about a cup heater? Like this:

They sell them at all sorts of stores. I think the one my DD got DH for Christmas she found locally somewhere.

I was just thinking (now there's a beginning that will scare some of you) that a hot dip serving bowl would be a nice Christmas gift for our DDs and DDILs. This one looks interesting but kind of plain. Maybe if I included a live lobster ? Shortcut to:

Think about the 1960s, Chaffing Dishes, and 1970s, Fondue Pots! These are usually found in good condition in second hand stores, charity shops, and yard sales. Recipes? Bring 'em on! Pat in Virginia
