Thanks for making my hard-headed dachshund and terrier mix look like little angels! :D

The Chambers oven is deceptively small. It's about the same size as our 30" wall oven, but turned sideways. I can fit commercial half sheet pans in there.

As for the 24" oven, yes, that is tiny!...

I've missed the money threads, so thanks for starting one!

It looks like you've done great so far! The concern I have (and you've mentioned) is that I see a lot of debt compared to non-retirement...

I can't believe I missed a thread about CATS! I love all the pictures - they are all so adorable. I even like the bad hair day kitties. :)

We lost 2 cats in the last 9 months, leaving the...

Hey, that is what I use for my crème brûlée! :)

As for toast, I have never cared for "dry toast". I always make mine by slathering it with butter and grilling, either in a cast iron pan or on...

Those are nice looking raised beds! I found this chart for zone 5 planting dates. It looks like you have quite a few options for things that can be planted now.

Another thing to watch for in an older animal is an enlarged heart/congestive heart failure, which can cause them to become lethargic. We've had 2 dogs with this condition and they required...

In my opinion, something you eat once a year isn't a big deal, no matter how outlandish it is. And since we eat 95% of our meals at home (mostly cooked by me), when we do go out somewhere I don't put...

That is so funny, Florence! DH and I have only been brave enough to throw one party in our marriage. About 70 people showed up. It was loud, there was drinking and music and it went on way longer...

We currently have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a rabbit. I was only pet-free for a brief period of time when I moved after college and that only lasted 9 months before I found myself at an animal shelter...

9 hours does seem like a long time. Is there any way you could use puppy pads or have someone come by mid-day to take them out? Having a mid-day break might also be a plus with the rescue...

Oh what an awful thing to find. So sorry, pcooley.

I would guess coyotes or dogs, by the number of chickens missing and I would lean towards coyotes, as dogs generally kill them, but don't seem...

One of my cats came from a similar rescue group. At the time, I was moderately annoyed by the invasive form, but the cat had chosen me, so I had no real option. ;) My last dog, however, came from...

Along with the Magic Shaving Powder, there is also a product called Bump Stop that you apply after shaving. My DH has used it and says it helps.

My brother-in-law has had type 1 diabetes since the age of 6 (he's 52 now). In social settings, he just eats what everyone else is eating, except for dessert (or anything especially sugary). If...

I don't know if they are licensed to use for the cereal grains that the straw would be produced from, but the hormone-based herbicides (clopyralid, picloram, amypyrolid, etc.) can survive in plant...

What a nice looking garden! Alas, mine is never so nice.

I do use Facebook, but I signed up using my nickname and an email address that isn't my primary address, so I'm not too worried about my personal information being found out. I mostly use it to...

I don't have a bread machine any more, but if I remember correctly, it "rested" for a while before mixing to give the ingredients time to come to room temperature. As I stated, this is if I remember...

I grew up in a 1960s ranch house in Texas, so I loved going to visit our farming relatives in North Dakota with their big late 1800s farmhouses. Having only a one-story house, I was fascinated by...

We are transitioning from spring veggies to summer veggies here, so we're finishing off the kohlrabi, carrots and kale and have started on the zucchini, green beans and peppers. And we had our first...

I've been reading the MMM blog since the beginning, but for some reason I've never looked at the forums. I'll have to check it out!

+2 to Gregg, except I don't use peanut butter and I add coconut. They are my favorite cookies.

I'm glad you found him and gave him a nice resting spot. It pains me to know that there are so many homeless animals out there, so I'm glad he found a home with you, even if he kept his distance.

I don't know much about amaryllis, but after more than a year I would guess they are too old and dried out to come back to life. But you could always give it a try if you have the room!
