The Pfaff is a wonderful machine - the automatic walking-foot or dual feed is amazing. My mother was very impressed as well - you can never have enough sewing machines - right Fred??

Domestic Heaven with the Best of Friends
The memorial holiday weekend at Greg's was nothing short of amazing.
It was like domestic heaven on steroids.
First, the new kitchen. I absolutely fell in love with it.
The layout is great, the equipment is incredible (as anyone who knows Greg can imagine), the sink is awesome (except for that Waste King disposer ... JUST KIDDING JEFF!!!!!), the appliances are spectacular (no surprise there either), the overall flow ... unbelievable.
I had a ball. And needless to say, we ate like kings, I mean queens!!
The vintage appliance playground is also very well stocked.
Greg's selection of washers, dryer, vacuums and small electrics is incredible.
Just having the ability to pick from an assortment of machines at times was overwhelming.
It makes you wonder what all the appliance poor people do ... how boring.
But best of all was spending time with 2 very amazing, wonderful friends.
Greg and Fred, you 2 are the best!!!
The conversation, stories, laughter (often to the point of weakness) was exactly what the doctor ordered.
The road trip with Fred was great fun ... none stop conversation, time sped by unbelievably.
Spending time with Greg's mom Carolyn, an absolute sweetheart, and her husband Ken was fantastic.
What great people. And now I know why Greg is such a wonderful person.
And I can't forget Newton.
He is definitely the cutest ugly dog I know.
He stole my heart and I know he did the same to Fred.
To be sure, I'll be riding the high from that weekend for a very long time.
Thanks Guys!!

Number 3 best city
Greg,
Maybe it is because of you that Omaha is rated the number 3 city to live and work in by Kiplinger's!!
Looks like a huge amount of fun, and friendship.
Also great to see at least some of your kitchen. Mucho hard work went into that I'll bet.

In regards to the Sour Cream Pie.
A church lady I know makes this pie also and it is very tasty.
It didn't appeal to me at first, but is really good. Not overlysweet.
Here is her directions. hope it turns out.
2 cups of sour cream,1 cup of raisins,1 cup of brown sugar,2tbsps of flour,pinch of nutmeg,2 egg yolks.
Cook all till thickened and add to a cooked pie shell and chill.
The church ladies are kinda vague on their directions.
I think she soaks the raisins in hot water first to plump them up.

Omaha isnt a bad city to live in...but you dont move there on purpose. I lived there for 2 years and I can tell you from my experience with the threat of tornadoes and what not there I was a wreck. My partner thinks it would be cool to see a tornado....I have seen one you can keep it.

Great sewing machines! I love that 1090, classic machine that will last for years and stitch quality that will never be beat. That Pfaff looks like a fun machine, is it still made in the Czech Republic? Those curtains look perfect. And I'll have a slice of rhubarb, with whipped cream, please.
WOW that kitchen!
That kitchen looks like a gay man's dream!!! Beautiful cabinets, lighting, awesome Kitchenaid dishwasher, and that breathtaking pink GE stove. Just amazing!!!
Wish I could have seen that in person. Looks like you guys had a blast!

My ages old recipe for Oatmeal Raisin cookies calls for soaking the raisins in the egg yolks for 30 min. or so before mixing up the cookies. It works like a charm.
Jon, you guys are welcome anytime! Perhaps you can make it for a stop-over on your move west. We'll make pie!
