Since we are stuck at home for several months, I have decided to wait for the single dose vaccines yet to come. There just seems to be a lot of chaos...

We just sub plain yogurt for the mayo. Apple cider vinegar, dab of oil and honey.

You might do a "small kitchen" search on apartment therapy website for more ideas.

Today's Atlantic has a good description of how viruses mutate:...

I think many of us have way more cabinets than we need. Opposite our small u-shaped kitchen is an 8 ft wall. Fridge on one end, pantry on the other,...

This is the crack slaw recipe we use: https://www.budgetbytes.com/beef-cabbage-stir-fry/ Tonight is a veggie bowl - farro, sweet potato and black...

I have the NYT digital version for $4 a month. I guess I get better rates with my .edu email. I am concerned about finding local news since dropping...

As a matter of fact, I just canceled our local paper. We only got the Wed and Sun editions. I wanted to keep the online but they didn't give me any...

Crack slaw and citrus salad

I've been watching Feed Phil episodes on Netflix. He makes me laugh out loud.

Seems like anything made of 100% cotton or other natural fibers has gotten very expensive. I mistakenly bought some microfiber sheets a while back...

Definitely. No more eating out and carry out only every 2-3 weeks. No travel back home since Sept so only a tank of gas every month and a half. No...

Maybe the most logical cure for mending fences is to get back to simple living topics primarily. I try to remember that when I post but it isn't...

Well then. Let's just close the book on this topic. I am off to take a long walk and think of other things.

DH's skepticism is based on the crap he reads on the internet. I have given up trying to reason with him about it so I will do my own thing.

Actually, over the past year DH has gone in that direction so we have daily "conversations" where I try to understand his viewpoint. Although he...

By far right, I mean those who hold extreme black and white beliefs. Those who ride around my neighborhood in big, loud trucks with Trump flags. Us...

I remain open as it is my way to question everything.

I don't know who else to ask and I want to understand. I don't belong or spend time on other forums except for gardening forums.

Teehee...so true.

Congrats for moving forward on that project. I need to as well. DH has never had any interest in finances so if I go first, he will have to learn a...

Maybe it's just me, but I think the past four years have been chaotic and nightmarish so I am ready for any sort of change in a different direction....

Water and anything space.

Regardless of the sucky reasons, I think a lot of us older women should think about a time when we will be on our own since many of us outlive our...

We weren't able to do senior hours this morning due to weather so set out after lunch. OMG, the place was jam-packed, nut to butt...New Year's I...

The confusing thing to me is that there is a perception (and maybe it's true) that the virus hits those hardest with pre-existing conditions even if...

I have been having a lot of sad moments lately about being the sidelined grandma. When I go there in the middle of the night, I repeat my "mantra"...

It sticks in my head that my mother always said when bathing/showering "start from the top and work your way down." One of our new found rituals is...

Although this place is a real challenge to garden in...as long as I am here, I am going to continue to grow everything I can. To that end, I am...

Working our way towards mostly vegetarian in the coming year so making from scratch white bean soup with basil pesto and crusty bread. Citrus and...

I just ordered some grow lights. Hoping they get here before spring:)

Yep the in-laws are "family is everything" types so I feel a bit for DD. Fun when kiddos are little but cloying as the years go by - at least it was...

Sounds weird, but we have come to like sardines mashed up with either avocado or chickpeas as a sandwich/cracker spread. With a touch of dijon...

Saw on FB where DD is gathering with all of the in-law family. All dressed in elf suits - ick!! I hope they are taking precautions as one works in a...

Speaking of ice cream, one of my pet peeves is that almost all of them now add thickeners and gums. Those things upset my tummy "biome." When I read...

I tracked the package and it went from Denver to Las Vegas back to Denver and then on to Austin. It arrived today all in one piece. Dec 7 to Dec 21....

Interesting product. I might try them. It irks me that detergent is now in plastic bottles. I was told that many stores in hispanic markets still...

We have a rescue Siamese we got many years ago. She hid herself away for the first month or so that we had her. I think your cats will come out when...

Salad greens with sliced pears, walnuts and blue cheese; garlic butter ciabatta slices

This thread is a good way to wrap up the year: I realized that eating out is enjoyable but not necessary and that cooking at home is a better value....
