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

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

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.

Coming back to say thank you again for your vote for my post on Bina's Yeast Rolls. It made my holiday especially bright, thank you!

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

Okay.

Fixed it! :-)

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

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!

Oh I know, I was amazed at the response and very grateful they chose me to feature! And other curation groups too, so very nice of them. I have made other breads that call for brushing the tops with an
