RE: Quilts for the Christmas season. Along with some thoughts
Many years ago I decided to make a quilt. Sewing straight seams isn't one of my talents. The pattern was supposed to look like birds touching beaks in the center. Mine did not look like that. Then I decided

So nothing external will keep you warm. Your body has to get well first? I am visualizing all those busy little chemo bits like Star Wars blasters, hunting and shooting down every bit of the cancer cells.

Well then I say grrrrr to them. 72 hours is just too long. So much can happen in that time. Crypto and life in general. I hope you do find a better trading site and let us all know about it!

I thought you meant you felt cold when you were sitting in a chair. Much worse if you're feeling cold in bed. I wonder if getting a different mattress pad would help? I'm a thrifty little thing and held

That happens to me when I clear my internet cache. The sites I have told to 'remember me' stop remembering me. I could fix this by updating my whitelist but I never remember to do that.

My aunt has MS and is sensitive to the cold. Why they live in the snowy part of Oregon is a mystery. Anyway, my uncle just bought her a electric heated throw. Like an electric blanket but smaller, it covers

I used to enjoy decorating for Christmas. I don't do it now, haven't for years. Your wife's decorations made me remember how much fun it was, how pretty and fragrant. I bought some Steem and powered up

RE: Bina's Yeast Rolls (with recipe)
It's still a labor of love, but yes, a lot less labor! I'm just glad we don't have to pound out our own flour from corn or acorns or whatever in a stone mortar and pestle. Or grow the grains in the first

RE: Bina's Yeast Rolls (with recipe)
Using regular flour and yeast is fine if you are kneading by hand. The bread machine has to work quickly and needs those special ingredients. Before I had a bread machine I made breads that turned out

Do what the baking show people do, it sounds just right! And yes, very therapeutic! One of the things my husband and I agree on is lots of garlic and spicy hot chilies! Which is not a Norwegian-type thing.

My husband and I agree that she was the best cook ever. But with all modesty I have a way with vegetables and he compares mine favorably to hers. Of course she was cooking for a group of people and I cook

Wow, thank you! I was just wondering who hoaithu was! How very generous, thank you so much! Life got weird there for a while. Unfortunately it's not something I can write about, family wrangles and lawyers

RE: Bina's Yeast Rolls (with recipe)
The flour and yeast for bread machines are quick acting. I didn't look it up but if I remember right the flour has a higher gluten content. The gluten is what creates the stretchy texture that holds the

I am one who needs my written recipes. If I copy one to use I will scribble notes all over it. Otherwise I will forget and probably leave out something important! I think the difference for bagels - and

Yes, donuts are like other kinds of breads and yeast is important. Hey, if your mother knows about making bread she'd be a good one to talk to! When I first made bread the yeast came in little squares

That's a pretty great, if weird, sense of humor! A lot of people let negative or critical comments beat them down. Sounds like it works in the reverse way for you!
