Subject: Jelly Jars
Hi Uncle Phaedrus,
I am back again with a different request.
I have been looking here in Wilmington for the small round jelly jars we
used to use for jelly etc. gifts at Christmas. A retailer at a hardware
store here said they do not make them any more.
Somehow I fail to believe that!
I cannot tell if the two jars I have left are made by Ball or another
canning jar company. There is no name anywhere on these little jars.
Can you help me?
Thank heaven for someone like you for those of us stuck!
Sincerely,
Carolina
Hi Carolina,
Ball & Kerr both make 4 oz and 8 oz jelly jars. Have you tried Wal-Mart? You can get them from
Amazon.com, or try these sites:
ball 4 oz
kerr 8 oz
Ball & Kerr 4 oz
8 oz ball
ball 12 oz jelly jars

Hi there!
I have been searching internet,books,etc. for over a year for a vegetarian
"mock" meat recipe!
*ANY* mock meat! Beef,tuna,chicken,etc. I have had no luck! I have only
found recipes that call for mock meats, but none how too make them! Also, we
have found recipes calling for textured vegetable protein granules, but have
no idea what they are or where to buy them. I would appreciate any help! On
behalf of vegetarians everywhere, thanks a bunch!
Regards,
C .

Subject: soap opera trivia
Dear Uncle Phaed,
I almost feel silly for asking this, but my daughter-in-law has turned me
into a die-hard Young and the Restless fan. One of the Characters on the
show, J.T. Hellstrom is played by an actor named Thad Luckinbill. Lucille
Ball's daughter Lucie Arnaz was married to an actor named Laurence
Luckinbill. Is Thad their son, thereby Lucille Ball's grandson.
On the Y&R website, in a interview Thad mentions that his grandparents were
involved with a movie called "Striking Distance".
Do I have the connection right? Is there a website that might know? I don
t have a clue where to look for this.
Thanks.
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Well, let's see. If you go back to that Y&R interview and re-read it:
Interview
I think you'll see that what he actually said is that he was on a trip to
Pittsburgh with his grandparents, and when he saw that "Striking Distance"
was being filmed there, he snuck onto the set. I don't believe he says that
his grandparents were involved in the movie, although I can see how a quick
read might mislead one into thinking so.
His bio on this site:
BIO
Says that he thinks he's a distant cousin to Laurence Luckinbill.
Apparently, neither his parents, nor his grandparents, were in show
business. Their hometown and Thad's is Enid, Oklahoma, which is where Thad grew up.
Don't feel silly. I'm not a soap opera fan, but I enjoy getting a non-recipe question once in a while.
