I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol...
Haha, our moms must have been related. I felt soo rebellious by adding more butter than was called for to things. I still went far too long after that before I discovered that I’m not going to die at the dinner table if i use salt and/ or pepper. eg. I hate green beans. But put some garlic salt on them? Heck yeah.
It’s in Georgia? I don’t know how rural that specific area is, but for context I live in the city limits of a rather populous city but I’m in a rural district. And the jackwagons behind my house regularly target practice in their back yard. On a weekend, it can go on for an obscenely long time. We just try to tune it out.
This requires one to be responsible enough to get out from under the covers. Cold rooms are my perfect sleeping environment. I would just roll over and pass back out. I have the thermostat set to start warming up the place in the morning. If I’m too warm, I’ll eventually not be able to go back to sleep.
Apple wassailing was traditionally held in cider-making communities, so you’re more likely to find wassails in the West Country, or in the Welsh border counties. That said, it appears to be a popular tradition that increasing numbers are returning to, and – like many great traditions – is spreading across England at quite...
I find that most people in my life have at least one “thing” they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.
Good idea. If one is worried that nat geo would be too upsetting if they’re showing “nature taking its course” kind of stuff where the wildebeest doesn’t make the river crossing, I offer the alternative streaming channel:
Yesterday, I made bad decisions. I may make bad decisions tomorrow. But today, I made a decision that was slightly better than it could have been, and I’m calling that a win.
I bought some evenweave a few months ago and finally decided to try it. I know you’re supposed to “stitch over 2” with this stuff but that seemed like it would still end up just looking like 14 ct aida so I decided to try this instead lol...
I’ve done both. I prefer even weave to aida, and I like stitching over 2. I don’t think it looks like aida at the end. IMO it looks like tapestry. If you stitch over 1, it’ll be very hard to do half stitches (if there are any in your pattern). Over 1 looks like petit point to me, so I guess each has their place depending on what you’re going for.
Another fruit/nut combo to try are craisins and slivered almonds. I’m not a fan of raisins unless they’re in cinnamon bread or bagels, but I love substituting craisins in salads and other savory dishes that call for raisins.
I’m starting to notice my hair is thinning a bit. Nothing drastic. Just natural aging. No, nothing unusual came up when I got my blood tests, my doctor didn’t find anything wrong with me....
well, shit. I did not know that about cats. I’m entering menopause and my hair is thinning. I bought a box but hadn’t started using it yet. Guess that’s going on the buy nothing group.
edit: I also started taking keratin and biotin supplements. While it hasn’t been long enough to notice results in my scalp, my eyelashes are getting long and curly!
“What’s this about liking actual people outside of work? Does that mean you don’t like your coworkers? That sounds like you’re not much of a team player. We’ll have to note this in your permanent record.”
This is what I told my friends and family when I started my business. I had just left a very toxic workplace that was full of verbal and emotional abuse at the very top. I said now when my boss yells at me I can tell them to fuck off and I won’t get fired for it!
