now i want the old potato ricer we used to have when i was a kid. no idea where that went...

we just nuke 'em right in the skins. fastest way to do it IMO.

some nice things came to me this past week and today too. (i may have written about this someplace else but i don't have time at the moment to search for it lol...) i steel and a sharpening stone for knives. both things i've wanted for a long time and was looking for. a friend was having a...

12, 15 or 16. can't remember now. if i remember i'll count them when i'm cleaning up the garden and post it here. :)

cooked up shelled out beans this morning. wow they cook up faster, they may be a bit mushy, but that is ok, i'll be gentle... :)

they are easy in the microwave. :) i'm not a huge fan (i like sweet potatoes much more) but i'll eat 'em if they don't move fast enough!

on a good note though the other day i was gifted with a sharpening stone and a steel for knives that was from his father that he would never use as he's not cooking any longer. i told him i was honored as they are both very useful to me and i'll use them the rest of my life and i told him i'd...

some jokes are taken down second thought. i took one down from TEG the other day (not sure if anyone saw it at all) as it was a bit on the edge and not necessarily rated G. but dang it was funny. :)

my main concern for being without power for long is a reliable water supply. if we have enough warning that a storm is heading our way we can fill up some extra buckets for flushing toilets and i do have drinking water stashed away in the closet and that too can also be used to flush the...

with last night's light frost it was time today to get the last of the peppers picked and then get into the last bean patch and get as much of that picked as i wanted to rescue from the frosts. as i was picking i wasn't really thinking ahead much and then while shelling some of the beans out i...

tonight was bean and cheese burritos. simple but plenty filling. :)

i'm always in awe of how much some of you folks can get done. :) congrats and i hope the itchies don't get you!

yeah, tease me like that for breakfast! i'm going to have cereal and pretend it is something else...

i'm going to have to pick peppers if there are any. we may have had frost last night. tonight is forecast to be even colder so today is the time.

nice day today but i could not get outside much. all ok, just a break and busy with a few other things inside.

i don't know what i will have but right now all the sweet stuff is calling to me - i may just skip it all and wait until breakfast because i ate a lot of food last night and i should burn some more of it off tonight sleeping (it's a good way to diet :) ).

i wasn't objecting, i laughed, but now that my followup makes no sense i deleted that one too. :)

that was a good way to get the flow rate more evened out. i hope it works even during the heaviest rainfalls.

we did have salmon patties and some mixed veggies for dinner. i got some chocolate frosting on some graham crackers for dessert and held myself to only one sheet of crackers (about 6x3.5in? i've not ever measured them but they've shrunk in recent years). it was all delicious and there are...

fish cleaning leftovers make excellent garden fertilizer... :)
