Although we're past that I wonder what we like least of the candies we hade or now give out. My particular least favorites are Tootsie Rolls and candy corn. What are your picks?

My container of rosemary, thyme and orgegao came inside to be re-potted for winter in the garage since we've been having hard frost for a week or more already. With luck (and if I remember to keep them watered) they may survive til April. The prediction is that we will have a colder and wetter season so will have to see what happens.

Some people would just ditch their dirty laundry somewhere, killing two birds.

Agreed that the non-removable lid is indeed a deal breaker. (How the heck do you get it clean enough?.....lots of other nice features tho.

It was the law in Oregon (land of boundless rain) during that same time.

This comment got me thinking about my own glassware. I've always admired Ina Garten's barware, here (the closest I found and what I believe she uses). However, I'd never pay that much for bar glasses since they break so easily (and I'm sometimes clumsy). I could use some double old-fashioned glasses but haven't found the right ones yet. Anyone have a good source?

Of all types of fish Imcan find locally steelhead is my favorite.

That was exactly my take on that recipe when I made it (I think it was the same KAF recipe).

The orange juice does work with regular whole wheat, however, the taste of white whole wheat still wins. From KAF: "Whole-wheat flour is made from hard red spring or winter wheat, which has a nutty, hearty taste. White whole-wheat flour is made from hard white spring or winter wheat, which has the exact same nutritional value of whole-wheat flour, but because of the variety used, has a milder flavor and paler color." BTW, that's one gorgeous loaf!

Inexcusable! (the waiter).

Not here. I use HB eggs in my shrimp or crab Louies or spinach salads.

I get it.

I had an experience in a very nice local restaurant with dh and myself and two out of town guests. We were seated at the only available table which was next to a couple and their two young boys (about 4, I'd guess). The children yelled, threw silverware made so much noise that we could barely converse. The parents, apparently, saw nothing and chatted with each other. I was so mad I could have spit.

Yeah, but this is cow country.

I personally am irked at restaurant diners who cannot remove their baseball caps! WTF! What is this about? I grew up in times when men removed their hats indoors. What are they trying to prove or hide? It seems so very adolescent.
