I make a similar soup but no potatoes; Italian green beans.

As a vegetarian I have had that experience. So, I will go to a nice restaurant or creative bistro and order a fancy vegetable dish. I will eat very little prior and order nothing else but water. It is usually prepared more elaborately than I do and gets me inspired all over again with...

I always cut strips of fennel for veggie trays. When people try it with whatever dip they are startled and then it's the first to disappear.

Cereal is beyond useless to me. As a kid I ate a bowl of bran flakes every morning. By 11am I was so ravenous that I was eating strips of notebook paper while I waited for lunch. Can't wait to see the long term effects of eating bleached paper. :rolleyes: I like cottage cheese or a smoothie...

EVs are out of my price range. :hit There's a big legal battle brewing in my state over the tripled rate hikes for all electric homes. Grandfathered in permanent rates are now being adjusted higher and then phased out: http://www.wcpn.org/WCPN/news/29760

What a sweetheart! We had a senior next door who owned three adjacent properties. She was on Social security and a small pension, so she rented out the small cottage next to us. The renter guy turned out to be a world class jerk, complained about everything, demanding she fix or lower the rent...

All you guys who suggested vet rap: I never thought of that and I worked at Calder, Hialeah, Gulfstream, Upper Arlington Race Tracks and Indian River training farm as a groom and exerciser, plus owned 3 horses myself. :hide

That looks like a great savings. Are those priced similar to those sold in the US? I have always had the impression that island nations pay somewhat more for everything.

Congress extended many of the credits until December 31, 2010. A 30% credit for solar energy systems through 2016, Plug-In Hybrid Conversion kits until 2011: http://www.energy.gov/taxbreaks.htm

lemons: :welcome I like that idea! I do have pieces of it from old plumbing projects and have 8 remaining buckets to repair. :D I am honored that you registered just to share and explain this! I hope that you find this site helpful to yourself, as well.

Did anyone see this iPad commercial during the Oscars? The song is "There Goes My love" by The Blue Van: http://techblips.dailyradar.com/video/ipad-tv-commercial-2010-oscars/?utm_campaign=twitter-site-feed&utm_medium=twitter-share&utm_source=techblips Full song here...

Great song. They sure don't make them long like that much anymore.

I don't think it makes much difference how many meals you have stored. Day one would have me continuing to look to add to that rather than sitting back self satisfied. Having never gone through a Chili or Haiti experience, I would have no way of estimating how long my supplies would last. Those...

You have a lot of company in that department :/ I'm not certain what you need to help you through this but there is a fed grant program that will pay just under $6000 for retraining that I am planning to use: http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/opportunity/index.html Many use this as a bargaining...

Bumping this because I wondered if anyone took advantage of the energy tax credits. Were there any snags?

I'm not sure I understand the pricing. Is that $4 for all the quarts or per dozen? If is per dozen I would not make the 1 1/2 hour trip unless you could work in some extras as k0xxx suggests. Then again I am always considering the price of gas in the equation.

I read your link WZ. My ex PC physician was unhappy with my 210 total cholesterol and talked me into a statin drug. Her sales pitch was : "it's so great that they want to put it into the water supply"! I kid you not- that was verbatim! I thought she made that up to convince me of the universal...

I use the plastic grocery bags, too. I bought the pedal can with the removable bucket liner and handle, but the plastic bags are simpler. Water is at a premium here, especially during drought months of summer and winter, so washing the bucket as often as it requires hadn't been happening. Thus...

You two crack me up! :lau

As a vegetarian, I have found some parts of the book aggravating, but overall quite useful. I have also found some posters' comments way more obnoxious than the actual book, so it is up for some interpretation. Read it for yourself to decide. It does remind me of the RAW books, where there is...
