make sweetener changes and go for it. from the food safety perspective, with that much vinegar it doesn't matter what combination of sweeteners you use, texture may be an issue but it is a dipping sauce and you aren't relying on it to set up like a jelly. I am planning to substitute dried thai...

DH had to do a head count in the car because we didn't want our toddlers who were bouncing off the walls about the 'baby shickys' to see the ones that didn't make it. It was sad that they were peeping on a shelf and no one bothered to call the number on the box. We even called the day before...

I personally get crappy service from my post office. I have had packages rubber banded to the outside of my mailbox in rainy weather. RARELY does she take the time to close my mailbox, so wet mail is frequent (good thing I don't actually rely on USPS for anything) Currently my mailbox is on...

For the ambitious canners... http://www.instructables.com/contest/canit/?show=INFO go for it. :D

Still without power, we have a generator running our sump, pumping the water out of our basement, it's been running every 15 minutes since around 4 am on Sunday. The freezer & refrigerator are also powered. No significant damage, some trees and branches, a couple sections of fence. We had...

Still have power, it's been on & off all day (even before it started raining) We are in a tornado warning so we are all (me, DH, 2 kids & 2 dogs) settled on a mattress on the dining room floor next to the basement access. I have a basement bag by the door with shoes, leashes, cell phone among...

I am in NJ, 20 miles inland, we are anticipating flooding, high winds and power outages, basically everything. We have a small generator to power the fridge/freezer/sump pump as necessary. We have 20 gallons of drinking water bottled up. The tub will get filled tomorrow, for flushing and...

My sister took (staged) the one with the cat & the chick, she put the chick on the blind side so it would take the cat longer to figure out what was over there, lol. The cat and the pony are best friends, they snuggle all the time and play games. Cy likes to hide in the hay and jump out and...

My mom's cat Cy, keeping his farm safe between cat naps.
