	Everyone else has said a lot about pots & pans etc. I would
recommend also that you invest in a 100% wool skirt or dress and a 100%
linen chemise, apron , and head wrap. Linen is slower to catch fire than
cotton and wool is even slower (usually only smolders). Linen also makes
wonderful dish towels. And please keep an ABC fire extinguisher near at hand
as well as a first aide kit. We hate loosing new members, especially to
accidents. Margarite
