I can't find the recipe that my mother used and all my cookbooks don't
show anything. Do you know where I can find a recipe or several recipes
so that I can make this wonderful meal?

Hello Peggy,
Couple of recipes below.

Crock Pot Ham-Bean Soup
Ingredients :
1 ham bone (with sm. amt. ham still on)
2 c. Navy beans or mixed beans
8 c. water (3 c. more may be added, after bone is taken out, then cook some more)
1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. honey

Salt & pepper, to taste
Preparation :
Wash beans. Put everything in crock pot along with ham bone
(that has small amount of ham still on). Start cooking at high (I
usually start it in the evening) and after it starts cooking, turn
to simmer. (I cook it all night and until serving time at noon or
even later.) I usually remove the bone in the early morning and add
more water. Remove bay leaf before serving.

The song from the Levi's commercial where the guy steals and old car and
he is with a French girl and they are running from the police and they
ditch the car in the river but then he dives back for the French-English
dictionary?? It seems that the song is French but I am not sure.
Thanks, you guys are great!!
Sabrina
Hi Sabrina,
The song is "Playground Love" by Air. It's actually part of a movie
soundtrack by Air. The movie and the album are called "The Virgin
Suicides."
You can see the video for "Playground Love" online here:
The Virgin Suicides
The lyrics are below.

Air
Title: Playground Love
Album: The Virgin Suicides
I'm a high school lover, and you're my favorite flavor
Love is all, all my soul
You're my Playground Love
Yet my hands are shaking
I feel my body remains, themes no matter, I'm on fire
On the playground, love.
You're the piece of gold the flushes all my soul.
Extra time, on the ground.
You're my Playground Love.
Anytime, anyway,
You're my Playground Love.

Hi ____?
Great letter! But you didn't sign your name.....
A #2 can normally holds 18 to 20 ounces or about 2 1/2 cups. For a full can
size chart, go to:

Hi!
I found your site today by doing a Google search. this is certainly the
first time I have come up with so many answers!
My Great Grandfather was Walter H. Hipolite. To the best of my knowledge
he was the inventor of this Marshmellow creme. ( the marketer at any rate).
The jar said "Whipolite" when I was a kid -I'm 56- and I believe was maketed
by Kraft. It used to have his copyright or patent on the back label in very
small print.
I never did like the stuff...
There! More than you ever wanted to know about Hipolite. How did you come
across your information?
Nancy
Hi Nancy,
Thank you for writing! The information that I found was just here and there
on the Internet. When did Hipolite cease sales?
There are still recipes around that call for Hipolite. Do you know the size
of the jar? People ask me how much Kraft Marshmallow Creme to substitute.
Hard to tell them without knowing the jar size.
