ok, i'll just go with they needed door knobs and those were what they found at the flea market or hardware at the lowest price... :)

i certainly understand just wanting to take a break at times, but then i also know that by spring i'll be kicking myself for not getting enough exercise. i hate exercising just for the sake of it... MWF i should be going at least a half hour of some Tai Chi warmups and other exercises to keep...

perhaps they had various collections they didn't want cleaning people or random visitors to be able to get at easily?

for fresh mushrooms we're usually paying about 0.16/ounce at the big box store. for canned ones at the stupormarket i think it runs about $1.50 per 15ounce can, but by the time you drain them you're probably actually getting half that.

we eat a lot of mushrooms, fresh or canned. good yums :)

this isn't really holiday baking, it is a part of her normal routine baking. as i have not heard any cursing and haven't smelled smoke or the smoke detector going off she is doing ok. when i woke up i checked with her to make sure things were going ok and it was. as i am one of those people...

Mom has her new mixer out (she fried the old one after many years of use - the replacement is the same brand but i can tell it isn't as well made so i suggested to her to not overload it - she probably will ignore my suggestions but i tried) to make cookies. i have 8hrs of music on. it's...

Mom made some pasta salad last week so i've come up with a few different ways to eat it as the idea of eating cold food wasn't very appealing to me. we had a last container of chicken a la king in the freezer which i took portions of and heated it up to get it hot but also to get the texture...

they really are. as good eats. but also because if we didn't have fungi we'd have a lot of plant material stacked up all around...

the key parts are to dress enough in layers, to not to have things tight that cut off circulation and don't get wet. like this morning when i went out to shovel i had my hat, scarf and gloves on and a coat and two layers on my legs. socks and then my crocs as there wasn't enough snow to worry...

all good to know and i hope that helps you get your hot pepper sauce made properly at last! :) when i've watched a lot of the mass production big factory vids on-line i've always seen the peppers going in and getting cleaned in water and stuff like that but never saw them adding extra water to...

i dislike lukewarm coffee or hot chocolate - i hardly ever set them down if possible and just sip sip sip until they're gone gone gone.

well it's not like i go out there and stand in it without any clothes on or something...

we had a light dusting of snow and it was a full moon shining on me a few minutes ago. today is sunny with a high of 20F. i'll go out for a few minutes this morning and shovel just to make sure there's some spots of bare cement for Mom to drive on. hopefully it will all be gone when the sun...
