Veering off topic - steamers

Not to clean your carpet or run your car, but as an alternative to an iron?

Which one did you buy and do you like it?

Do you like it? How much - roughly.

Hi Cheryl,

I bought Joy Mangano's "My Little Steamer". It's enough
of a steamer to let me know that I should save my money
and purchase a good one. This one, however, is a piece
of crap.

Thanks - I didn't have any brands in mind yet, so I know one not to look at
now.

I was thinking clams too. All the talk about Brooklyn reminded me of a
place called "Lundy's" where we would go for a bucket of steamers.

As far as a steamer is concerned, I have an old one that I rarely ever use.
It just doesn't do a good enough job to dig it out. If I need extra steam,
I just use the burst of steam button on my Rowenta iron.

I've had better irons in the past but this one does a decent job.

Now two of you are making want a big old bucket of steamers with "broth" and
melted butter.

Maybe I'll stick to the iron for the work shirts.

much snipping, hopefully I've got the attributions right

My father wouldn't let us eat seafood in his presence but every once in awhile
'rich' relatives would sneak us girls to Lundy's -- can't remember what we had,
just that it was doubly good because it was forbidden food.

As a teen every Sunday night, I was stuck doing the family ironing. This was
before the advent of permanent press. Many things got heavy spritzing and were
slightly damp after ironing but they were wrinkle free.

Use the RAF ironing technique. Iron the cuffs, the collar and the centre
portion of the front.

Oh my god, I didn't read your whole post! You do remember it. Not
there any more. How about Randazzo's or Pips Comedy Club right there
across from the piers.

Did you know the rumor that Lundy's was owned by the "alleged" Mafia and the
waiters were ex cons? It may even be true. I think Theresa Brewer was
married to one of the owners. It was a really interesting place, with an
interesting story attached.

Randazzo's was some of the very best Italian food on the planet and Pips
Coffee House was where I saw David Brenner and George Carlin for the very
first time, when they were very, young.

I spent a lot of nice evenings there.
