i wish i had cake now! you're really missing out if you've never had good crispy orange chicken or beef...

while it isn't generally recommended any more i've had so little problems with oven canning for what would otherwise be BWB canned items that i think more people should give it a try. yes, you do need to know what you're doing but it really isn't that hard and there are hazards (broken jars can...

i'm really trying hard not to laugh about that one, but failing. :) a staple gun should be in your future...

OJ is a horrible choice in general (an extreme opinion probably). for the most nutrition/$ buy oranges and eat them all (including the peel - ok, almost all, don't eat the little nubby thing that is usually on there). juice removes the fiber and a lot of the vitamins so you're basically buying...

one of the hardest things here has been getting Mom to use less soap than she thinks is enough... finally got her dialed in at last. she was using 2-3 times as much as was needed and it was making a mess of the machine.

my problem with food is that pretty much everything is really yummy and i'm not very picky. i've managed to hold my own in recent times by doing things by halfs and then going and keeping busy to distract me from thinking about eating more. i have not yet gotten back into the donuts today - so...

that would be a new one on me, but i would probably love it. :)

i went to bed late, got up early, had a bit of breakfast, put some music on and went back to sleep for a few hours. that helped! :) today i'm just puttering around inside. it's too muddy out there.

i love crispy orange chicken or beef. sounds good to me for brunch. :) i'll have to imagine it as i steal a few french fries from Mom. last night i had a large cinamon roll with frosting on it for dinner. i'd not had much to eat all day so i was within my calorie budget (likely not true...

it has rained steady yesterday and due for some more rains today but nothing yet. i'm not picking any more beans or doing any gardening at this rate but that is how it can go. patience grasshopper... :)

welcome to SS from Mid-Michigan. :)

today has been a day of mostly rains and heavy at times but going through quick. it's currently a big swirly spinning around and we're going to be getting yet more rounds of rains. it would have been a good day to sleep but i didn't get much of that done as i had a few projects to finish...

i really love this one. :) :) :) it reminds me of some of my feisty women friends.

not going to happen here! :) the box flats dry well enough i don't have to go through the extra time of stringing and hanging and there really isn't a single source of heat as the furnace provides the heat via several vents. i did turn up the heat and put the flats in a few spots where some...

it was such a nice day out today that even though i knew the gardens would be muddy and i'd stick to the top i went out and picked some beans so i could get them dried before they rot. now they are out there drying in the sun and the breeze and i'll give them a stir in a few minutes to help...

If you do a show on roux you could say the plot is thickening...

hello and welcome to SS from mid-Michigan. :)

raining here. i'll be doing indoor types of things today and probably also tomorrow and into the week as the rains are in the forecast.

raining more this evening and i'm ok with that as it meant i had enough time to do some bean shelling for a change and my body was ok with sitting for an hour (or maybe two since time can go by so quickly). :) :) :)
