    Thanks for the invite but unless you bar is VERY ADEQUATELY STOCKED I will give it a miss. Even the thought of needing a storm shelter...  This though from someone who grew up with a bomb shelter in the back yard!  I dunno.  But I never claimed to make much sense even to myself.  

    If you will come I will buy anything you like for the bar (although I would have to make a trip to Dallas to find the much of it!). You, however, will have to be the bartender. I would be incompetent.  

     

    I never lived in a home with a bomb shelter but remember the bomb shelter signs posted about in the neighborhood. My storm shelter also functions as a safe-deposit box. No chance of fire destruction and locked unless a storm is approaching.

    I'm a nervous Nellie and stormy weather

    Good thing you don't live in Oklahoma. Almost all rain comes in a storm. Almost all homes have a storm shelter. Prior to phone "apps" almost everyone had a weather radio. If you would like to visit come in the late fall which lasts well into December. Winters are not bad although we do get an occasional ice storm.

    My reservoir was nearly empty so I unscrewed the knob out of curiosity. The water that drained out contained lots of mineral particulates. I continued to let it drain until it seemed clear. Think I'll try to remember to do this periodically. Additionally, when I had a leakage problem before it was due to the drainage tray not being properly seated in its grooves.

    Has any one made the recipe for Marie-Helene's Apple Cake from Around my French table by Doris Greenspan?  It calls for a baking time of 50 to 60 minutes in an 8" springform pan.  I baked mine for 65 minutes, and the batter is not quite cooked through, even though it seemed to be when I did the knife test.  The cake is delicious even if underbaked,  but I wondered if any one else had trouble with it baking in the alloted time.

    I have made that cake several times and have made the following changes to the recipe:

    • I use 4 cups of apples cut into 3/4 -inch chunks
    • bake for 60-75 minutes

    I'm an old member -- some of you may remember me as "Soba", but you can just call me "Hobbit".

    I'm glad to see you back. I made good use of your thread on your SF visit right after I joined this forum. I visit the area every March and am always looking for recommendations.

    So I have been a bit neglectful..  and my Kalette plant sprouted what appears to be a few bean pods.

    I always let at least one plant go to seed. I will have volunteers in the fall and will have kale to eat in the winter and into the next spring.

    Do you have to be registered with them for that promo code?

    I don't think so. I have done business with them in the past and get email newsletters. When I ordered this afternoon and took advantage of the promo code I did it as a guest, without logging in or registering an account.

    I have grill grates and love them. Still would make the rings in the oven but if it works on the grates be sure to let me know - I would love to be wrong. Also, I didn't mention, cut 3/4 of an inch slices and leave 2 rings together. Only use the nice big ones.
