haha, it's all ok, no harm done. :)

no bake cheesecake recipe is very easy to start with and expand as you'd like to try variations. cream cheese, i do not warm it up at all before using because i want it kept cool, but i do beat it with the mixer to break it up and smooth it out before adding anything else. to 8oz of whipped...

oh yes, be very careful around those large beaked birds! many years ago and miles away i was visiting my gf who lived in Memphis and she was involved with the zoo and loved the birds. so of course she had to take me to visit them. while there a bird in a cage she had known for a long time and...

for the record these are some of the beans i grew and returned to @Blue-Jay: https://aggiehero.ucdavis.edu/food/news/uc-davis-releases-6-new-varieties-organic-beans for some reason the picture supplied shows 7 beans of which i grew 5 (UC Rio Zape was not available and UC Good Daughter Stallard...

great! thank you! :) it was supposed to be a surprise for him but this is now ok too, i'm just glad to have a chance to share them. if you'd like some of them for yourself take a few out because i have plenty and can send more next year. :)

i did know it was a disease, but i didn't know any of the regulatory details. :) thank you for filling that in. i'm glad they are doing it - like the mad cow problem of many years ago it isn't something to be taken lightly.

these quiet mornings i can get from time to time are what i really need to recharge my own battery. i had breakfast and puttered around and looked into a few things and then just curled up for a nap until i woke up again. just what i needed. no phone ringing, etc. just quiet and calm for a...

not quite warm enough to enjoy it, but i did get the kitchen window on the outside washed at last. it had been looking rather bad since a few months ago when the box elder bugs were swarming on it and leaving behind their ick. on top of that knowing that harvest of the fields across the road...

for something different today for breakfast i made some oatmeal and put peanut butter on it and then added some peanuts to give it some more texture and chew. no other added sugar or anything as the peanut butter has some sugar added to it. we'll see how my body deals with this sudden change...

as a kid i didn't like them or hazelnuts, but now i like both of them just fine. to me Brazil nuts remind me a lot of coconut, but that could also be because i've not had a Brazil nut in 20yrs or more. for some reason we don't buy mixed nuts any more (probably because i'm happy to eat the...

what is a scrapie tag? :)

now they have changed our forecast from 51F to 41F for Christmas. still green though. a bit of snow for today and tonight chances of rain.

i love pistachios too. well, most nuts i love... :)

would oat flour make it more sticky? combination of oat flour and almond flour? i don't mess with either of these on a regular basis but i'd give it a try. or maybe even fine milled corn flour... i've not had breakfast yet, this is making me hungry. :) ...

two of them i can think of now: the rice pudding that Mom made when i was a kid. definitely a custard and firm too and i really liked it. she's never made it since that one time and i've not done it either. the italian sausage recipe that the restaurants up north used (two different places...
