My father-in-law had a somewhat rare side effect of taking statins over a long period. He developed dysgusia (sp?) which is taste distortions and it only got worse as time went by. Everything he ate...

Lima beans aka butter beans with beet salad. Corn bread with honey butter.

I am guessing all the sizing disparities are due to whatever Chinese factory they get switched to for lowest job bid. Last year, I bought two long sleeved Land's Ends cotton t-shirts for layering;...

My everyday clothes are looking raggedy too. The only thing that ever comes close to fitting are my usual PM size in Land's End and Talbot's but as you say, not consistently. I have sometimes looked...

One of our favorite sides is fresh kale (torn into small pieces) lightly sautéed in olive oil along with thinly sliced red onion, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Splash with balsamic vinegar right...

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 with the current ones with some who are now...

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.

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, bottom cabinet in between and shelves over it. The...

Tonight is a veggie bowl - farro, sweet potato and black bean with other chopped veggies and an avocado sauce

I need to buy a new mattress pad and have been looking at amazon as well as JCP and other stores. Seems like so much of amazon's merchandise is now from Asian vendors - descriptions are strangely...

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 the paper. TV station websites I guess and maybe...

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 price break for doing so. Plus I had grown tired of...

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 because they were lower priced and I hate them. I...

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 thrift store visits. No haircuts. Canceling amazon...

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 always easy when you want to discuss something else.

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.

I now know several family members who have received the vaccine without any issues. DH remains skeptical and says he won't get it. I am tired of living like a hermit and am leaning towards getting it...

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 doesn't personally like Trump, he defends his actions...

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 vs them ideals. Calling others "socialists". When...
