Quoted message said:A true halogen cooktop uses ONLY a halogen bulb to produce the heat
itself.
It also produces light which indicates whether or not the unit is on.
There
is no other heating element involved.It's no wonder people get confused!
Thanks for the further explanation.
Having a halogen bulb in a standing lamp and having to replace it is almost
(within a few dollars) of just buying a new one. Although I see that the
offerings are now less wattage than previous. Using this as a guide in
comparison to other lighting/heating, I would think that a halogen element
would be a lot more expensive than a element bulb.
Also I'm thinking that Jenn-air isn't making/selling the halogen cartridge
any longer, but they are still selling parts, so there's gotta be a reason.

I don't know why I have so much trouble remembering Alabama from
Mississippi. I know you are from one or the other. Let me guess.
Mississippi?
I just asked DH if he remembers where 'Virgil' is from - Alabama or
Mississippi -- he can't remember either. It must be something like people
saying they can't remember where someone is from, either Virginia or West
Virginia. That we've never been to either state is probably a big reason.

Yes, you remember Mississippi correctly, as that's what I've written
before.
Actually, both my parents' families knew each other from the time they
both
arrived in the US from England in the mid 1700s. I have letters written
between the families dating back as early as the 1770s.
You are so lucky to have these. I am lucky to have a signature here and
there. And then I don't know if it is a practiced signature and the person
cannot read or write. We're lucky that we have census' later that give us a
clue to their literacy.

finally to Mississippi at the end of the Civil War.
I don't know much about the settlers in North Carolina moving south, but
what little I do know of my family that were in the North and South Carolina
region, they moved to Virginia. Very interesting, I'll have to look up the
historical trails. Always another personal reason to study a little
history.
In the case of my

me with an assortment of double-cousins.
My family leaves more than double-cousins to be discussed. It will never be
sorted out, but it is still either overly-discussed or hidden. Much fun.
Much earlier, around 1795, one my

That's wonderful to have that closeness to our country's history.
A couple of years ago, I was in a bookstore looking at this book

when a woman came up to me and told me that it was such a great book;
basically that I'd be doing myself a favor to buy it. I did and it is soo
wonderful. I love the history around this time.

So much for history! :-)
Well, some say, we're all related to the queen and can prove it. Should I
have capitalized the "Q" for better clarification?

And those quilts tell a story, too. Thanks for telling me about your
quilting grandparents & great grandparents. What a sweet, precocious child
you were.
I can see you haven't changed -- tee hee. Oops, sorry, I shouldn't have
added the 'tee hee.'
OB: DH's home from CT, so I can start the coals up now. It's been a pretty
bland diet for me (not a regimen) the last few days. I was losing my
appetite and that's not like me. But I'll have to spend a couple of days
getting the veggies used up. Sounds like vegetable soup tomorrow. He found
the Amore Tomato Paste, so that's just in time for the soup.
