I got the Party City flyer in the newspaper and noticed they have some pretty good sales going on that you all might like to know about.

If you’re looking for supplies for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, or just looking to stock up for parties, you may want to check out Party City.

Hey Karen-
So just what is chaffing fuel? Really I haven’t a clue. Chaffing to me- means the little red marks toddlers get from their diapers rubbing when they walk… Never heard of chaffing fuel- it sound cheap. I wonder if I could use it to run a mini van, because gas is killing me. It’s $3.20 something here.

lol Michelle. They’re to put under dishes that you want to keep warm. It’s a jelly type substance that you light like a candle and you put them under silver chaffing dishes. I know, weird word.

Got it now when you described them- most potlucks I go to don’t use those, they use electric dutch ovens with water to warm stuff- which mainly means brats or sausage in Wisconsin. They don’t chafe food here.

My Mom said when she was a kid her Dad used to threaten to tan her hide (he never did though- my Grandfather was a kind man.) So I was thinking when I start threatening my kids with air and idle threats I will say…

“Don’t make me chafe your dish!”
