I don't know. That sounds suspiciously like work.

Where can I find this Bacon Martini recipe?

What type of potato peeler does she have? The only kind I have is 6 feet tall and crabby as all get out. Did he stumble across your doorstep one dark, dreary day and get put to work? And let me know when she needs him back.

I do fine in a cow, thank you.

I have forgotten to ask for cash back and the cashier has done it for me without using the pin pad. This is at the grocery store. There was an employee at that same grocery store that was using people's checks to steal money. If someone wants your money, they can get it in more ways than...

A pack of 24 bars of Fels-Naptha is on Amazon.com for $35.39 + $5.70shipping, sold by Ace Hardware. This requires math which I will not attempt because it's too early in the morning to be so light-headed. Hey, there's a listing on Amazon for 24 bars for $26.97 + $4.96 shipping fulfilled my...

We are the same way. The kids go to Sunday school, but I'm just not into the religion-based curriculum. We paid $99 for the World of Adventure and $20 for the supplemental book. It's great in theory, but we are bored with it. The idea was to learn history from the beginning, starting with...

I just re-read this after all these months, now that the migraine has finally gone, and I realized the problem. The grater is only a few inches taller than ankle-height. I need to ask for a bigger grater for Christmas.

I remember very little of my childhood, almost none of high school, and not much of yesterday. I think it's normal, at least for me. I did have two concussions in my youth, but I enjoyed falling out of things. After having my first child, I spent four years in a brain fog. It was...

I use a dryer, too. I just think our water is extraordinarily hard. But then when I lived at home, my sister always had fuzzy soft clothes and mine were as hard as they are now. I just figured that was because she is a vile witch of a creature who had made a deal with the devil to get soft...

We don't have a set routine. I have an 11yo son, 5yo daughter, and 3yo devil dog. I have found the 11 yo works best with doing what he feels like doing, in the order he wishes. I just set a deadline, like say "We need to leave at 5, so you need to have everything done by then." The two...

It's wonderfully gorgeous here in southwestern Arizona. We need a fleece blanket at night, but we can still wear t-shirts during the day. The past few years, it was too hot at Christmas time to wear the traditional Christmas clothes, so I'm hoping we continue in this fashion. We may yet have...

Well, I finally ran out of my home-made laundry soap. It lasted over two months and was a not quite full Folger's coffee can of the dry powder. I did use the Tide on DH's clothes just because we have it, but I used the home-made on everything else. It has worked wonderfully. No gunking up at...

You know all the strings you get lying around from feed bags and alfalfa bales? If we put all those together, we could get one dandy of a tin can phone set up. Hope you have good lungs, BB.

I envy all of you for growing ANYTHING in your garden. I manage to kill everything I grow, or the chickens get it. We were able to get some small yellow tomatoes to snack on, but not enough to can by any means. I'm also growing a little bit of okra, but it seems to be good for seeds, not...

We didn't have to worry about mud and grass, being in the desert. I guess we wore carpet samples to prevent the ol' saguaro/butt tango.

Weird is a weird word, but gobble is even weirder. But it doesn't describe itself like weird.

I used to save it up to stuff pillows or other home-made doodads. Now I throw it outside for the birds to line their nests with. I haven't seen a pile of dead birds lying around, so it hasn't killed them yet. My mom brings hers camping to start the fires with. Works great!

I followed the recipe here: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm but I added a small scoop (about 1 and a half tbsp.) of Oxi-Clean and about 1/2 tbsp. salt for hard water.

Yes, wonderful. A year ago, I spent time showing my oldest son photos of the cemeteries of American soldiers that are all over Europe. That means something to me.
