So horrible and so so sad. The western world is reaping what its been sowing since we butted in to that region so long ago. How long before this happens in NYC or LA? And how can we help refugees when we cant tell who is one and who is an ISIS member? I don't normally feel like there is no hope, but...

New York Super Fudge Chunk

M&M said it beautifully. Bernie Sanders will be the first candidate I ever vote for with confidence he will do his absolute best for us. But if it turns out to be HRC I will vote for her because she has the experience and guts needed for the job. She may be controversial as hell, but she isn't a...

carpevita

Oh gosh yes, music made m y mother so happy---and spending time with old photos did too.

And wicky I forgot this before--
(((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) for you and your mom and stepdad.

carpevita

My mom loved going for car rides. Anywhere scenic and she was very happy to just take it all in.

carpevita

I have a pot roast in the slow cooker for tonight, just in time for temps to drop and five days of wind and rain starting tonight.
It will be great tomorrow when I come home from the barn.

carpevita

Hard boiled eggs are good too.

carpevita

Damn if I was glutton free for a year I would be pretty svelte by now.

carpevita

FIngers and toes are all crossed for you!!

Impromptu 12 hour road trip yesterday so I had a fish filet sans bun, half of a milkshake, and several hours later a cold big mac--sans buns again. A few hours later a shot of espresso, and finally finished up with cheese and crackers and a vodka tonic at midnight. I feel remarkably ok for the junk ...

carpevita

I wish I had known that I was smart and capable and neither my father nor my first husband were in charge of my life or decisions.
If I hadn't been beaten into submission with the 'god's way is my way because I am the man', my life would have been very very diferent.

carpevita

I cant help you with that itinerary, but if you decide to head to Vermont i'm your girl!
Your trip sounds super fun, what are you driving?

carpevita

That swordfish was pretty good but the collard greens I sautéed were delicious--who knew?!

carpevita

I started off cooking some kumara (sweet potato) with some onions. Then I added some cubed beets and a bit of water. And realised I had no idea what I was trying to achieve, so let it come to the boil then turned it off. Went to collect mum from work, came home, removed everything from the pot and ...

I've been through the insurance company wars over and over. First horrid experience was trying to collect my mom's meager life insurance from NATIONWIDE (YOU SUCK) and was lied to, document packages were sent to each of us five siblings with missing paperwork, items were 'lost', agent was 'away' etc...

carpevita

Very nice!
I admit that I read the title as 'Anyone red Chinese?' and was a bit startled!

carpevita

The roof lines are wa-a-a-ay beyond my pay grade--I know I need professional help with that. Tuffy you are so right---I could bump out some walls here and there, that would make it a much less expensive remodel, but I sort of hope I can finally get the kitchen I've dreamed of----which would probably...

carpevita

Honey balsamic brussels sprouts? Are they roasted and drizzled cause that sounds delicious!

carpevita

Cool, thanks for the instructions. Leeks are my very favorite onion and I will dig a trench in the spring for them.
With what do you fill the trench as they grow? More soil?

carpevita

I started by thinking of one of those sunrooms---but I need more kitchen first---though a greenhouse may be very nice off of the bdrm someday.
I've gotta get to the library and re read that book, its been many years!

carpevita

Well in the past week I realized that I want to build myself an addition to the home I'm buying with my bff. The space I claimed is the mil apartment wing--a long narrow single story shoebox, 12'wide by 38' long. It has a very pretty stained wood cathedral ceiling along much of its length and lovely...

carpevita

Are leeks as easy?
Because it simply irritates the heck out of me to see them at 2.99 PER STEM!!!!!!

carpevita

I'm making pea soup in the crockpot.
Had to buy a biggass ham for the bone so there will be ham and eggs, bubble and squeak and ham sammies all week long lol.

carpevita

Lol, the vamps are safe snork, it was such a glorious day we abandoned our work plans and rode ponies instead!
I've agreed to buy garlic for another year and well have a better idea of where to plant next fall.
So its store bought garlic for me for now!

carpevita

I voted to keep it all together too.
Part of what makes the ob lounge interesting and fun (for me anyway) is the variety of discussions we have on any given day.

carpevita

I have relatives who use theirs every day, sometimes more than twice a day. Both ladies have bad backs which I know accounts for their heavy useage. There are some days I waver and think a soft tub would do the job for me, but keeping it hot outdoors in northern Vermont seems like a huge waste of el...

carpevita

I cant believe he doesn't know the difference--either he's a heathen or he's kidding around!

ETA--Obviously he's never watched CaddyShack!!

carpevita

I may go look at this one--the price is right but I cant tell if it will work in the space yet.

carpevita

A million jingles and hugs headed your way.

carpevita

I'm gonna try it too, I love pad thai and this looks doable.

carpevita

That is pretty cool--i'd feel the same!

carpevita

I've never planted it, what should I know?

carpevita

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do to move forward.
((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) for your stress about it to go away soon, and for a great price to soften the blow too!

carpevita

We were early adapters and used them when they first appeared--living down the road from gmcr we had access to them even before they hit the catalog iirc. However each and every machine we had was exchanged because of breakdowns, and we eventually went back to our French press and lived happily ever...

carpevita

So glad you found an answer! And I agree, no invasive procedures, no weird drugs, just pt to improve===all equal a recipe for success!

carpevita

Great picture! I remember that little guy from the news; here in Vermont I watched a lot of Canadian tv way back when my kids were little ones too.
I'm so glad he's grown to be such a good man. He couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of folks!

carpevita

And lets not forget that bad guys make the news precisely because their behavior IS news---the unusualness of it is what makes it newsworthy. Most of us go about our business quietly every day without making it onto the news, because we're normalish and act accordingly. Add to that the screaming hea...

carpevita

Why can't we call them both out for their atrocious behavior? Yes, the officer is an adult and in a position of power so IMO his behavior was exponentially more atrocious. However, her behavior was also atrocious. Being yanked out of her chair and thrown across the room does not all of a sudden mak...

carpevita

Bbq shredded pork over rice and corn. I made a big batch as there will be a bunch of teens here later.

carpevita

Janet that sounds ideal--I really want to be totally submerged as much as possible.
Oh I'm so glad you chimed in Maple!
Do you think air jets will be the most sanitary to maintain also?

carpevita

Oh gosh yes, the fit must be good between you all, and good for you for putting the brakes on sooner rather than later.
The better situation is out there and will find its way to you.
(((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))

carpevita

Oh Silk, i'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I have had numerous concusssions without changing my habits, and the resultant brain fog and short term memory issues just suck. Listening to books on tape can be soothing, though I know how hard it is to switch to semi hibernate mode when all you w...

carpevita

I really don't want to care for or pay the electric bill on a hot tub at this time, so a deep jetted tub I can soak and shower in will do the job right now. And yup, Stella, I am about to sign on a two family with my bff. I should be in by the first of the year, if all goes according to plan. As a s...

carpevita

I mix cole slaw and chicken salad all the time--its def a great way to add some crunch to a meal--I cant wait to try it in chili now, lol. As for dinner last night, I wanted to make minestra for my housemates and I, so picked up some Italian sausage and broccoli rabe, only to look more closely and r...

carpevita

Anyone here know the straight poop on new fangled jetted tubs? The house I'm buying has a huge walk-in shower---I prefer a deep jetted tub for myself.(knowing someday I may have to go back to a walk-in, but for now I want a tub!) I'll measure later today, it appears I have at least 5' x 3' so plenty...

carpevita

I know wick, me too. Wasn't an option with the time frame we had, and I hope to visit again in a more relaxed way this winter--in which case I will be letting you know well in advance!

carpevita

And I thought wow someone has some really big rolling papers!

carpevita

You have waterproof fencing don't you?!!!
Congrats, she is a cutie!!

carpevita

Oh gosh we are!
I made a beeline for my favorite store in the world (aside from tack stores of course)

http://salmagundiboston.com/

and showed admirable restraint in my purchases.
I HIGHLY recommend this shop!

carpevita

Im so sorry you're experiencing this. I rehomed all of my pets when I became ill and had to move out of state for treatment. That was truly as devastating as my dx and treatment. Thankfully my thee cats and elderly dog all live with my bff from childhood, and I get to see them regularly. (((((((((((...
