Definitely a good alternative! I always forget about that. But do try the peasant bread if you have a chance. Start it mid-afternoon and it will be hot & fresh for dinner. And you don't have to knead it!

Making it up as I go along
HI! Remember me? I used to blog here until I stopped making time. I miss it. But you didn't come here to read my whining about how I'm just so so so busy with work and the kids and the pets and the house (beating back the squalor!) and whatever else. So instead of that, I wanted to share a post ...

I'm afraid I've had too much too; I drank 2 cups of that test-pot I brewed. Wheeeee! So you have the grind & brew too? And hate it? How come? I have used Cuisinart's regular model - grind your own - at the beach house we rent, and rather hate that thing (too hard to pour in the water, if you can believe that). Please say that's the one you hate and not the one on which I just squandered 27,600 rewards points.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE, PLEASE, for our dearly departed Melitta Mill & Brew coffeemaker: *sniff* We've had this gem for, gosh, probably nine years. It made a great cup of coffee, and we happen to be folks who prefer our coffee maker to grind the beans for us. (Fewer steps in the morning = good...
Just a modest donation to your favorite charity would be more than thoughtful, Auds, bless your heart. We drink most of a pot of coffee daily so the individual brewer thing didn't work out for us. Also, mine - a Tassimo that I won - ended up being subject to recall owing to spurting steam or some such - and when that happened the folks who make the T-discs stopped making them, and there went my cheap source of daily latte. Phooey.

You think so Foolery? I'm that way too, but I'm more a tightwad than I am easily distracted, and the amount of $$ I'm saving on the detergent and the bread (not so with the yogurt, that's more of a novelty experiment) keeps me going back. Plus, the stuff really works.

Announcing: An Amnesty Program
ATTENTION ALL FAMILY MEMBERS! I have recently noticed that certain items have disappeared from the kitchen. They just go... missing. Poof. It's like, one day, my favorite Swiss serrated knife with the red handle was there, and the next day it was nowhere to be found. I just noticed its sister-knife - you know, the one with the birds-beak blade - is also missing. And the one with the white handle, too. In addition, there are two large mixing bowls that are MIA. BIG ones. (Where could you possibly have put them??) And this is to say nothing of the... Continue reading

CBW, from what I can tell, he downloads a lot of music, watches movies on Netflix, and Tweets. A lot. He tells me he's doing homework, too. I sure do know what he isn't doing - making his bed, picking up his clothes.

A remarkable evening
THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON for me to want to capture in writing just another Monday evening at home. I should not feel compelled to write about sitting on the sofa, fire in the fireplace, sports on the TV. Maybe it's like this every night in your house, but last night was different here. For star...

You would think an evening on the sofa, watching sports, wouldn't be worth writing about, but you would be wrong. Continue reading

DIY Dryer Repair: The Scooby Doo ending
If you missed the fun last weekend, get caught up here and here... After investing hours last weekend in what turned out to be a rather ambitious DIY project, we were still left with a dryer that was not quite repaired. Oh, the drum spun when empty, but not when I threw in a giant load of heav...
Thanks, Noe Noe. In hindsight, we may have bitten off a little more than we could chew, but luckily our gamble paid off!

I'm like an Amish woman. Or a farmer. Or an Amish farmer - eyes to the sky and on the forecast, waiting to see whether Mother Nature will bless me with another perfect drying day. My clothes smell sunshine-fresh, but the novelty has worn off. The dryer is almost put back together and it's an understatement to say that the process will make for a fabulous blog post...

Seth sure knew when his foot was broken! So did we - it swelled up like a balloon and got purple. Peezer's was swollen but didn't bruise, so I was thinking it may not have been bad. Apparently my Doctor Mom instincts extend only to diagnosis of illnesses that require antibiotics and/or medicated eye drops.

More breakage
IN JANUARY, I wrote a post about broken things... specifically, my car, my DSL connection, and Seth's foot. It was just one of those "bad things come in threes" times, where it just seemed everyting was breaking at once. Well here we are again, friends, it's the sequel, and it's bigger and badde...
