we had a light dusting of snow and it was a full moon shining on me a few minutes ago. today is sunny with a high of 20F. i'll go out for a few minutes this morning and shovel just to make sure there's some spots of bare cement for Mom to drive on. hopefully it will all be gone when the sun...

is that something you are adding? i don't do much fermenting here so it hasn't been a common thing to see, here are a few comments on it and approaches to preventing it: https://www.nwferments.com/prevention-and-treatment-of-kahm-yeast

what type of salt are you using? 3 T might be too much, but how big is the bottle? the amount of salt used seems to be about 1 and 1/4 teaspoons per cup of water.

thank you! :)

cathedral type ceiling makes any lowering not workable for the detector, but i was thinking last night of switching over to a battery one and setting up a pully and string arrangement... currently it isn't too hard for me to get up there but at some future date if i stay here longer i'll want...

last night i'd stayed up a bit late and went to sleep, a few minutes after i fell asleep the smoke detector way up high started chirping. there is no fast or easy way to get to it. it involves going out in the garage, getting a ladder, bringing the ladder inside, setting the ladder up in Mom's...

at least it is after Thanksgiving when decorations for Christmas should start making appearances... we have a few small things we put out but overall it's just not for us. we don't have a lot of storage space so having places for decorations would mean we'd have even less room for the stuff we...

haha! good to hear, i guess i really don't know what i'm talking about then. which team are you rooting for? :)

i don't think it got that cold last night. it sure didn't feel that way when i took the trash out this morning. there was cloud cover and that usually will keep it warmer.

i'm not sure how it went but not seeing any obvious news so guessing they didn't win... :(

brrr! now have us forecast for down to 8F and gusts up to 25mph tonight. when i was going out to shovel i checked the propane to make sure we had enough for a while (we do) as since we got the new furnace last winter i wasn't sure how much we'd burned already. i didn't think we'd be doing too...

me too! it's rather rediculous the way it has worked out so far. i knew a package was on its way but was so busy it slipped my mind (plus we've had things delivered here before it should not have been a problem at all) to check on the tracking status until it got to be too late and then when i...

there's more snow out there than i thought there would be and it is also heavier than i thought it was but it is all ok. i'm about halfway done shovelling and taking a break for a few more minutes and then getting back out to finish it up because the forecast has winds up to 33mph and i don't...

a cosmo pic from September...

i will definitely have snow to shovel tomorrow (well today but i've not been to sleep yet so i call it tomorrow). also the forecast for next week includes some nights down into the single digits. brrr! quite an abrupt change in the weather...

i haven't stepped on the scale in two months and did so today. i've mostly been pretty good the last month as in twice Mom has brought home donuts and other times ice-cream and i've mostly avoided all of those extra calories. i was a bit surprised to see my weight has remained stable but with...

i am so glad you are having some help. :)

i just looked up a recipe for pickle pie, it does sound ok to me, but i'm sure others would take a hard pass on it. :)

it has been a delight already. :) Tuesday, right before i had to run out for an errand i managed to dump a boxtop of beans and didn't have time to track them all down but at least got the worst of the mess picked up so last night i tried to get them all picked up, but a few are way under the...

so far it has been great, woke up, got up (the most important part) peed, then went back to sleep for two hours extra! :) a feller could get used to this...
