Sounds like the grandson needs to either go without a meal or make his own and clean up after himself.
Your recipe sounds fabulous.

We are probably having beans and cornbread.
To issybird, just let me know a few hours in advance and you can come to dinner anytime.

There is no such thing as too much garlic.

In fact, as I Swype, I'm noshing on roasted garlic and a glass of wine.

All invitations gratefully accepted.

Some might think Texas was a little schleppy from New Hampshire, but they're not giving sufficient weight to the powerful motivation of the hates-to-cook.

Should I use the Peg Bracken Cookbook so you feel at home?
Note: she caused me to find a double boiler.

Peg is my hero; however, I like my food more highly seasoned than ca. 1960.

What did garlic ever do to a chicken other than make it even more delicious?

It's Sunday night so it's movie night. I'm currently watching a BBC documentary about the Chinese New Year. Next I'm going to watch a film on Netflix, I'm just not sure what yet.

Earlier today I posted on Facebook that it was time to visit Robert Gray in Derry, Maine again. One of my cousins replied, asking me if I had an American boyfriend

. I answered that he's an old friend of mine, he works as a clown, and she should Google him

.

She didn't reply, other family members expressed their mirth.

I had to Google it as well

Right now, I'm relaxing after spending hours cleaning under our bed. I bought an Echo Dot in the Prime Day event and went to set it up in the bedroom. That meant running the wire to the extension block under the bed. Good God! The dust and the rubbish under there, I'm ashamed! Just horrible; so I spent a couple of hours throwing stuff away and vacuuming etc.. Then, of course, I had to dust and vacuum the rest of the room and so on.

I'm exhausted, and all because I snagged a bargain on Prime Day!

I think I made a mistake by asking my sister to come along to Ikea on Sunday. When I go house sitting I usually go to Ikea some time during the first week. I knew my sister also needed a couple of things and asked her if she wanted to meet there (it'll be a short cycle ride for us both) and she agrees.

The problem is the difference in how each of us approaches shopping. I make a list ahead of time (easy to do in the app, it even lists where you can find the items), I usually don't have to get anything from the showroom upstairs so I head straight towards the departments I need things from. If I take it easy I'm in and out in about an hour (I used to be able to do it quicker, but our Ikea has doubled in size). My sister wants to see everything. I usually give up the will to live halfway through the showroom upstairs and head to the restaurant to get a drink and read until she's done. She's usually a bit quicker downstairs, but I always end up waiting at the snackbar for her again.

You need a water bed frame. Then you can have drawers under the bed instead of dust bunnies.

I am fixing to be in the kitchen chopping onions and cooking root vegetables.

It's called a captains bed. They were around before the water bed craze. This simmer knows her beds.

Thanks hun. We got the entire waterbed (free) but just used the drawers. We have a memory foam mattress on it. Got it from Overstock a few years ago.
