Math and Jello

The Husband just sent me this fabulous email: * * *A couple of weeks ago, The Maker asked me if we could make some Jello. This morning I asked him if he’d rather read or make Jello and he said make Jello, so I said as soon as he cleaned up his breakfast mess and [...]

Finally! Clarity about BBQ

Just to recap for you: 1. BBQ does not mean cookout.2. BBQ is not a verb.3. BBQ is not a grill. BBQ is meat prepared in a special way, which varies depending on where you go. I feel so much better, having straightened all that out. I’m headed to lunch now.

great mileage

About ten years ago the Husband bought this waffle iron from a yard sale for $1. It was ancient when he bought it. But they must not make ‘em like this anymore; this thing has LEGS, I’m telling you. I can’t count how many times we’ve made waffles with it and it’s still going strong. [...]
