Brrrrr....I'm wearing long undies inside the house!

We didn't do a lot of lights this year, but we did some! I felt that our little trees were missing something and wanted to add tree toppers. The only tree toppers I could find that could be used outside were attached to strings of lights. So, one of the trees got the extra lights with topper...

Leaving aside other things one might use like wine, water, vinegar, etc...there are a lot of choices when it comes to Broth, Stock, Bullion (cubes & powders), Powder (other than bullion) and now, Concentrate (bottles & packets, the tubs seem to have disappeared). I've only recently been...

So, I've got a craving for Meatloaf and mashed taters. I would round it out with a few other things...gravy, of course! However, I do not have the ground beef needed. I do have ground turkey and a recipe for "Mediterranean Turkey Meatloaf" (this month's Costco mag)...and everything needed to...

Missing and remembering Chief. Today is his birthday. DC is not the same...sigh.

I tried a new recipe today...well, not a completely new recipe, but a new way of doing the potato part or an old, tried and true recipe. I usually cook Russets whole, in the microwave or a pot of water, cool them, peel them, chop them and so on. Today, I used a bag of frozen "hash browns"...

I'm thinking it is time to learn pressure canning. But I do find it intimidating. So, I'm counting on the DC experts! Where does one start? I have a regular pressure cooker and I use it without issues. What do I need to know about Pressure Canners? Pros, cons? I like to make things at...

So, we are heading to the beach today...but, tonight, we'll be looking for the Northern Lights. Earlier predictions said 17 States have a chance of seeing them...low on the horizon. Today, they have cut that back to: Idaho North Dakota Montana Alaska Wisconsin Minnesota Michigan Washington...

So, my current computer is showing signs of age. It is a 7+ YO laptop with Win10 OS. I like it and it works, but...it is slowing down. I thought I should replace it before it is a complete gonner. I got a new one, similar to my current one, but with Win11 OS. AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH! I hate the...

We had to take the Jeep to the dealership for service. When we arrived, the Scheduling person came out to meet us and offered the items shown below. Telling me that they "literally give a duck." :unsure: Having worked in Marketing for many years, this is not a campaign I would have...

Does anyone do meal kit delivery? Now or even in the past. If so, which one(s)? And, what do you think of it? Asking as I'm considering subscribing to one. I've been looking at Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon menus and they do have some interesting offerings. Thanks for any & all input...

As I was prepping for tonight's dinner, I grabbed the measuring tablespoon and started measuring the various things needed...2 tablespoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of dry mustard. I thought, why bother making more dishes to wash? Just use the tablespoon and guesstimate from...

A few weeks back, I got a new Smart Watch. In order to be able to use that watch, I had to get a newer phone too. The new phone is really pretty great. Much better camera and lots of storage. Apple announced that they would no longer be offering or supporting the old iPods. So, I thought it...

Check this out! Tools? Really? At least they included some cooking stuff! Looking because, 4/24 is 29 for us. For spouses Budget: Give them new “tools” for their favorite pastimes and hobbies. This might be a manicure set, drill bits or cooking utensils. Splurge: Give them the fancy...

So, I have a new-ish Smart Watch. For some reason, I cannot get the Compass to just go away. I know exactly where I am, and I know where I'm going too. I am 99% certain that when I wish to return home, I will know how to get there. My efforts to close the Compass app, somehow made my watch...

Long, long time ago…and still in THIS galaxy, I went to work as usual. Work was on the 15th floor of a high rise in Westwood Village. Actually, it was more like the 17th floor, because there were 3 above ground parking levels and no 13th floor. But, anyway, the office “staff” was just me and...

For a long time, I've wanted to fix the mess of a front porch that came with my home. From time to time, we've looked for a contractor to do it, but couldn't find one that both wanted the job and could do it in a reasonable time-frame. A few weeks back, we noticed that the house behind our...

Thank you, Veterans! Your service is much appreciated!

What's the difference? I started what I thought would be a PM, but at the bottom it says something about "allow anyone" to join the conversation?

For some reason, I can't seem to find a way to make the font larger in my Signature. I highlight the text (just like I do for color and bold, etc) and then hit the re-sizer, it looks like it has changed, but when I check a post, if remains the same, small 10 pt size. Am I doing something wrong?

Happy Birthday @Chief Longwind Of The North! Hope your day is a great one. Go do something fun and tell us all about it!

So, we're invited over to a neighbors' house tonight to watch the election results come in. Another friend is running for County Sherrif, and we'll be there to support him during this Primary election. I offered to help or bring something, but they've got it covered. I thought, well, I'll...

I've never made a Stromboli, but they look so good! I'm hoping from input from those that have made them, recipes, ideas, etc. Thanks in advance!

Sorry if I've chosen the wrong place to post...please move if needed. I need help! Eggplant is not my thing, but it is a favorite of DH. DH might be released from the hospital tomorrow. He has been making very poor choices from the hospital menu. But, given the menu they gave him, it isn't...

We tried these today. Not bad at all. A little crunchy like most kettle chips, but not overly so. A little heat, nice. https://marvel-b1-cdn.bc0a.com/f00000000211592/cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2804/5352/products/01005_Zapps_1.5oz_VoodooKettleChip_Front_1194x.jpg?v=1611698767
