Reminds me of the story about why the Brits drink their beer warm... because Lucas also makes refrigerators (for those that don't know, Lucas builds ignition for most british vehicles...)
Wow... didn't know I was so popular! Thanks for all the loving messages!
My first birthday present was when my DH got up to let the ducks out of their coop instead of me doing it. So nice to be able to sleep in!
We were planning on having a roast duck for dinner, but had forgotten that DS had...
At least your refrigerator will fit into your kitchen, albeit tightly. I had to place mine (which is tiny- only about 10 cubic feet total) around the corner in the utility room because our kitchen is smack dab in the middle of the house and has at least one door on every wall and the dinosaur...
It's difficult for cats to give up their wild side, unlike dogs. I would keep a close eye on your new kitty, to make sure she doesn't continue stalking the chickens
I use the same contraption for making popcorn, and after years of making popcorn I recently learned the way to make PERFECT popcorn (no old maids!)
3 Tbsp peanut or grapeseed oil (high smoke point oil)
1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels
2 Tbsp or more (to taste) of butter
Salt to taste...
Our hardiness zone according to the Sunset Gardening book is 1- the coldest winters in the West, mostly because of our altitude (about 4500' above sea level). According to the USDA it's 7a. All I know is it gets cold, and the growing season is way too short for my taste.
This summer, just when my beets were ready, my back blew out on me. I was confined to bed for a couple of weeks so I told my girlfriend to come out and help herself to whatever was ripe in the garden. She took a large number of beets and cooked them up for dinner with guests. One of the...
@journey11 , The top freezes, but it comes back every year. I don't think landscape fabric would work for more than a few years before it degraded. The pot I have it in is a 5 gallon bucket with several small drainage holes. That sits on a dinner plate to keep a little bit of water so it...
NO! NO! Do NOT allow horseradish to even have that drainage hole to grow through! Mine sent roots down through the hole and grew under a nearby raised bed (don't know why it didn't pop up in there, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth) and came up a good 10 feet away from the original...
I discovered how incredibly easy it is to make sugar from sugar beets. Thinly slice the beets (to make extraction of the juice easier) and cover with water. Cook until the beets are very tender. Strain and reserve the liquid (squeeze it to get every last drop out). Cook down the juice to...
Be careful, you could end up losing ALL of your land. If they win, they won't just get the land; they will ask for legal fees, and possibly even mental anguish and all the other c*** that lawyers squeeze out of a lawsuit so that the winners (and their lawyers) get more money. I really think...
If your husband's disability is a matter of official medical diagnosis (non compus mentus?), I highly doubt that he would be allowed to testify in this case
