Ok...well now you've piqued my curiosity.  I know a bubbler as a water
fountain, but I've never heard an alternate meaning of a grinder (besides
the salt or pepper...or grain...type) or cabinet (again, assuming we don't
mean what's behind all the small doors in the kitchen).  Are these Yankee
terms I'm not familiar with?  And what the heck *do* you call a milk shake
in New England???

Isolda,
