favourite sandwiches/ rice cooker - thrift store - donna, roxy and deanna

[Guest guest]

Boy you guys must have some terrific thrift stores in your area. I've been

hit about 4 in the past month and found nothing in the kitchen(only broken,

scratched, missing parts stuff) or cookbook area.......... I need to look up

some more in other cities that I shop in, so I can hit them too.
