I would but too many layers ; )
I have a pot roast in the oven and #2 son to clean up the snow. Happy, Happy, Happy!!!
not oven, crockpot. rme even better.
Good to know. We are moving now took an hour to cross the Potomac to maryland! On 15 now to Harrisburg.
Well, when he lost by only a few hundred almost-frauded-over votes in Florida, the democrats really failed to enjoy a phantasnomoreaGorical day back in November 2000.
But we almost got a republican president!
Glad to hear you are not stuck somewhere - keeping fingers crossed for a “jam-free” trip!
Those little desserts are so cute! I’m helping with a baby shower and those might work!
Thanks, smooth sailing thus far in the dead zone between Harrisburg and Wilkes barre on 81
It is supposed to get to 68-70 this afternoon and all weekend-maybe even warmer, but the nights are still freezing, or almost...
When watching or reading news
The only thing you can say
Is that this phantasmagoria
Is nothing like yesterday-
Is all DC down the rabbit hole?
What else can really explain
Why we know it is snowing
But congress calls it rain
Obama is playing red queen-
Instead of lopping the head
Of ‘rats running from Obamacare,
He changes that law instead
A+++ I dream of weather in the 70s. Please, let spring surprise us and come early. Beats the 3 feet of snow outside.
LOL A+++
I can criticize until I bore ya’
About the Obamacare phantasmagoria
How the dream of healthcare
Became a nightmare
Destroying the liberals’ euphoria
Those words remind me of a few jokes, such as:
She: Doctor says I can’t have sex because I have acute angina.
He: Your boobs are nice, too.
I left Texas on Wednesday after 8 days of freezing weather. You're welcome.
It is just a “false spring” and won’t last more than a week-late February to early March are notoriously unpredictable here-in recent years, it has been freezing into early April where I am...
Thank you! The almanac is not predicting an early Spring, never mind the groundhog-if Joe Bastardi and some others are right, we are getting back into a colder cycle of weather...
Excellent. A+++
I am sick of the COLD frozen tundra. Get me outa here!
I read a tip on how to clean cast iron pans and it works. Took me a couple of minutes to clean with salt. I just tossed the salt in generously and used my kitchen brush...no water. It all came right off, then I rinsed and treated my pan. All in all I was done in 5 minutes. Phew, I have been slaving over that pan.
I love the salt cleaning method-did you also add a few drops of cheap veggie oil to the salt to speed up the process? My mom had a container of salt in the cabinet with the cleaning stuff, right next to the Comet cleanser-which I think is the absolute worst for cast iron-I’ve ended up re-seasoning the whole thing from scratch any time I used powdered cleanser.
