Why not refill the water bottle from the tap at home or another trusted source? What's the difference if the container is ultimately placed in the recycle bin? Ditto. Well water here, too. No power=no water. And, yes, we also have a generator but that isn't used unless we have many, many hours without power. And, yes, if I think the power is going to go out, I fill many containers, including the bath tub, with water.

I made homemade butter the other day and people were shocked. "Howd you make butter?" They literally had no clue. Seriously??? What is the world coming to. We need to send them a set of Little House on the Prairie books.

I see what you're saying, but I can't make mac and cheese without using Velveeta. It makes it SO creamy and good. And, I do love some Cheez Whiz on a philly steak sandwich..... I'm from Kansas. Don't mock me.

I love my Sodastream, too. I honestly don't know how I lived without it lol. I also order a case of these every month. I love the taste of the canned water, too. Thanks for blogging! It's been fun watching your week of decadence Now I want pizza for dinner.......

Best. Ice Cream. Ever. OOPS, I mean besides your homemade that I just saw

You're killing me. That looks divine.

These strawberries have not been hulled properly. Ok, now THAT was funny :biggrin: Good to see you loosen up a bit Munchy mom, I love your breakfast. I wish I could have the same thing every day.

I don't know exactly how thin we're talking, but I pound the hell out of my chicken breasts to make them thin for chicken Parmesan.

I would have been nervous, too. I did a 12 hour one way drive and back on my own, though, a while ago and it gave me so much self confidence P.S. I love the eating on the bread wrapper--it's recycling and no dishes.

YUM. Now THAT'S my kind of Easter dinner!

Oh this sounds so relaxing! Can I be nosy and ask are you meeting up with friends, or is this a vacation for just yourself? I've always wanted to just get away on my own for a couple of days and just do what I wanted the whole time. Even if it's just sitting outside with a glass of wine

I was just thinking about c. game hens. The last ones I did--which was a few years ago- turned out dry dry dry. Maybe they were old....if I recall they were on sale.

I love roasted garlic. My husband probably doesn't love it that I love it....but...such is marriage lol.

This has not been trussed properly. Well, you once cooked a female pheasant that is illegal. Trussing is in the eye of the beholder. I am drooling over the chicken...top 5 of my fave meals.

I'll be right over.

You are a woman after my own heart. I love bloody mary's AND you pickle your own carrots. Awesome.

Just checking in on ya. I hope you're ok down there

Ours are usually around a tree that has fallen and rotted. Also in mossy areas. The Little Arkansas runs through our property so I hunt around there.

Gorgeous, Chris! I smelled them a couple of days ago before the rain started. I need to go and see if I can find them. What is everyone's favorite way to use them? I had the most awesome morel pasta sauce a few years ago. *drool*

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm........RRO, your pork belly looks so porky and delicious! Do ya'll get tired of my endless nights of pizza pics lol? Beer brats Terrible picture. Not near as pretty as David Ross's. But, I made his hash the other night. BOY was it good. I didn't use the food processor to chop up the meat or the taters, I just did it by hand. And, my hollandaise is a bit too runny. And, my husband wanted to use the blue plates...as in "blue plate special" lol.

Looks like a damn good burger. And, yes, I too love curly fries. I don't care if they are squishy. I still love 'em. It's the kid in me.

I'll have one of each of those tacos, please! Your brisket looks awesome. We've always used a water pot.....interesting. May have to try it your way. Eagerly awaiting the chocolate creation.

Thanks for your response, Tiki I'd LOVE to attend some time...but , every year I look at the pictures and it seems SO over my head. I'm afraid I'd be the class dunce lol. Edited to add : Plus, I don't have one of those cool cooking coats like Chris H. has, either lol

So, even a total and complete newbie like me who has never made a chocolate in her life would fit in ok there? Loving all of the reports, by the way.

Is a strange, wet substance falling from the sky down there? It is here.........I finally figured out that it's rain.
