    Galvanized Trough

    Mary, I used recycled plastic containers in the bottom of my big pots to take up room. Things like soda or juice containers with the lids on tight.

    Like to Save $786,346?

    I will admit to having a pretty grumbly internal dialog with myself when people tell me they're smokers. I TRY and keep it internal, but I'm sure my attitude is obvious. Its just really difficult for me not to be critical when I see patients every day, suffering at the end of their lives from...

    Using up Sweet Potatoes

    I've done a baked dish lately with cubed sweet potatoes, diced up cooked bacon, and feta stirred together. Just dump it in a casserole and bake for a good hour on 375* or so. Its delicious and easy!

    When I worked as a vet tech, we didn't worry about contracting too many things - blood, other body fluids were not a big deal unless we had a concern for rabies or possibly one other thing. BUT we were all cautious about the cat litterboxes (wore gloves), and taught our clients about...

    How do You Use Ginger ?

    I really love dried, candied ginger, and often chop that up to add in cookies or like a crumb topping to a peach pie....yum! I also keep some Gin-Gins around the house, a chewy ginger candy.

    Happy Valentine's Day

    Oh no, that SUCKS. And you still approach it with your usual sense of humor and appreciation for (whatever) good you can find. Please tell me you at least said a 4 letter word.
