Gutta Percha? insulator
As in a 'dielectric' insulator- best choice is Mica-- Ashville NC and the old Diamond Mica Co. My GrandDad made a lot of molds for them in the pre-WW11 years.
Scrapple- my cardiologist would have a big chcukle out of that as a steady diet- like the Four Redneck food groups- Salt- Sugar- Bacon Grease and White Lightin'-- Wow |

However unfortunate (or fortunate) it may be that Dave's scrapple came home in my cooler it ceratainly won't go to waste. I sliced it up into 1/4" thick slabs and packaged it and froze it for the next time I see Dave.... but I fried up the two end slabs for myself, nice and crispy brown on each side (remarkable how little grease there really is in this stuff) and it is really good!!
I think a good portion of it should go to grouse camp this fall. Mmm-mm! Vermont maple syrup on Scrapple and a few eggs should give these old legs the necessary endurance for a frosty morning's hunt.... Hey, has anybody noticed that the Summer Solstice is about upon us? - Then, only three months until the Autumnal Equinox and the season of Rejuvination for us all. |

That sounds good too and fits right in with my Pennsylvania Deutsch ancestry. My Dad came from SW PA, Greensburg to be exact and of good Lutheran stock - one of eight children and the only one to attend and graduate college.

Dean, try and save a few slices for Dave.
 You may have already done this but after slicing, separate each slice with wax paper before freezing.Glad to hear of your Pa German background. Many confuse Pa Dutch with those from Holland when it's actually those who came from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland who initially settled in Pa north of Phila, then migrated west. Although my last name is Bishop, the name was shortened at the turn of the 19th century from Bishopberger/Bischofsberger. Through genealogy research, I've met 4th and 5th generation cousins who every year have a scrapplefest which has been written up in local newspapers. They were kind enough to invite me a few years ago to partake in a breakfast of scrapple. I guess my gastronomical taste got lost somewhere because I really don't care for scrapple. Go figure! |

Yes, I seperated each slice from the next before freezing.
The family stories my Dad used to tell were a great history for me and I remember them all. I have all the photos he left me though none from his home when he was a child. I can't figure why - he was of a very well-to-do family so it's not as if they couldn't afford a camera
