What's the best way to clean makeup brushes? Specifially, a foundation brush?

I always use a little baby shampoo and water, then let it air dry overnight.

Steph, I usually wash mine with a gentle shampoo and then let them dry flat.

I wash them about once a week, or whenever I switch foundations.

In re cooking with soup, has anyone read Florence King's "WASP Where is Thy Sting?" She has an entire section on cooking with soup, especially kitchens where the sound of solid condensed soup coming out of the can is a sign that dinner's being prepared.

one more question: you take a right, and keep going straight? I usually take a right and then jig left to go where the parking lot entrance is to catch the EZRide shuttle.

OK, I may have confused things. Go out of North Station the way we usually do. When you get out to the street (Causeway?), that's where you go right. At that point, go straight. There's a big intersection that you cross, and then a smaller street. The smaller street is the one for the short cut. Go one more block and you're on Cambridge Street. You'll pass a Little Peach, a Domino's and a Burrito place on the way to either the shortcut or Cambridge (they are all in front of that huge apartment complex with the park-like quad).

Somewhere around here I've got a cookbook that was sold as a fundraiser for the Kennebunkport Congregational Church. I'd estimate that at least half the entrees use canned soup in some way. (It also has Barbara Bush's recipe for Mexican dip, which it says she got from her daughter Dorothy. It's pretty much, "Buy refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, and scallions. Chop scallions. Layer.")

I just realized that I should send in my hash brown casserole recipe (no really, it's good--ask Aimee) to the cookbook. I still have time, right?

It is good.

Frank, OK, I gotcha. Told you my geography of that area was screwed up!

And thank you!

This is the only problem with using the fat-free-low-sodium condensed soups -- they don't come out of the can in a solid mass. You have to scoop them out with a spoon. Much less satisfying.
