    Doesn't that sort of permission have to come from wives?

    Can you do frozen veggies? I know it may take some legwork for you to find out but it could be a good option.

    I don't watch the news often, but when I do I hear "shooting" and immediately I'm like oh.... some gang is up to it again in WVC. And 90% of the time I'm right. And what are you supposed to do, hide in your house and cry about it? Laughter really does help ease the tension and make it easier to deal with when you're making the best of something terrible....

    That sounds totally reasonable! I mean... some of us were playing with mammimals.

    So I know not everyone is super awesome at growing stuff. I killed my fair share of things before I got the hang of it. I found this incredibly cool thing today that would be so awesome for people who don't have time, don't know what to grow, or just aren't good at it. Something called a Nourishmat. Open Original Shared Link Its a little pricy the first...

    I'm kind of liking the reward idea. I'm thinking go the potty training calender route. Get a pack of those teacher stars and start popping them on the calender every day. Then go kitchen shopping at the end of every month for a mini-gadget. Every so often, we can all set our own timelines, get something super cool.

    Its some stupid tyramine crap with my pseudotumor nonsense. I can usually get away with an itty bitty bit of skin, but as much as is on a whole leg and I'm done. I am so a pick the skin off a chicken kind of person too. I could pretty much go to Costco, buy a chicken, eat the skin and not feel the least bit guilty. And I don't mean the skin from my part...

    I'm not supposed to eat chicken skin, but fortunately my husband doesn't like it. So if it was all gone before he was home he would never know! Well... except the whole migraine and being half blind thing, but it is possible that it would be almost worth it! Just tell him you made skinless chicken. Think he'll buy it?

    French..... *snicker* you're gonna get yourself beat with a stick! Rehab is for people who want to quit their habits. I am never going to kabana boy rehab. No how. No way. I also will not be held at all responsible for anyone's craziness. Heck, I don't barely let anyone hold me responsible for my own.

    I haven't entirely decided yet on dinner. I'm thinking though that it'll be something easy to eat, today was the next to last of my dental work. WOOHOOOOOO!!!!! All I have left is to choose between a bridge and an implant and I'm waiting until next year because I'm at my insurance limit this year. For sure I am thinking cheesebread. Soft, easy to chew...

    Pavlova is positively divine. I prefer mini ones for guests so everyone has their own instead of cutting a large one. Heck... I always prefer mini ones!
  13. Adalaide
    That is awesome! I would totally do that if I were a wine drinker, just to get exactly that response. I love it. Better than pity!

    I solve the no bread problem now by just making Brazilian cheese bread. No one even suspects that its gluten free until I start stuffing it in my face too. Heck, it wasn't anything that ever crossed my mind all the times I was eating it at restaurants. Sounds like your father's wife was only interested in dinner out, not in seeing you. You were just a...

    Like 50 Shades? LOL! Okay... I know there is "worse" out there (or however you want to put it... not saying how I know) but that would just be funny to see a 70 year old lady take that from someone to read!

    I love baking for guests! The most recent time I had guests over I made lavender cupcakes. They oohed and aahed over them and devoured them. Other than that, I usually just do whatever would be a normal Sunday dinner which is meat, veggies and gravy. People are so busy being astounded that someone knows how to make gravy that isn't from a packet or jar they...

    This is brilliant! A few of her habits would drive me batty. And if my MIL did something like poking around our bedroom she'd pretty quickly end up being extremely sorry. That's the sort of thing that happens when you go nosing around other people's bedrooms. I also like the word eccentric. Heck, I'm only 35 and the only thing keeping me from keeping...

    Oh, one I forgot about that just sends me over the edge every time... "I'd just kill myself if I couldn't eat X" or better yet "if I were you I probably would have just killed myself when they told me." I don't even hold back any more. Don't stand there and tell me that my life is so devoid of meaning that I should off myself because I can't eat the same...

    I simply respond with "I can't but thank you for offering" when I am offered food. I figure if people want me to elaborate, they'll ask. A lot of people are simply being polite and need only a simple no with a "can't" rather than "won't" and they'll go their own way and it is quickly forgotten. Do I pass up an opportunity to educate someone? Sure. But I also...

    That type of response would be normal for me. The GI symptoms come first. Afterward comes utter exhaustion which I simply must sleep through for a several days. Then comes the rest. I do the same running into everything, acquiring all manner of bruises and bumps, and yes, even falling. I won't shower if I am home alone for at least a month after I have been...

    I get that look too. I call it the self-hugging coat though. It sounds nicer.
  22. Adalaide
    Nothing permanent, but maybe this? Open Original Shared Link Maybe worth dinkering around in the kitchen a little.
  23. Adalaide
    Yes, and I posted the link to that, but I'm not home right now to find the link. It uses flax seed oil and the page explains in great scientific detail why it uses that oil. In the end it comes out super hard and works very much like a non-stick coating, of course building the perfect better seasoning over time. On second thought, after a quick google...

    GAH!!! Don't throw away your cast iron! Especially not heirlooms. Even if your oven does not have a self cleaning cycle you can use an oven cleaner on it, one of those that you use on the racks and comes with a bag to put it in. Re-season and you're all set. Just... no accidents. If you gluten it you have to start all over again. One of my very favorite things...
  25. Adalaide
    There could still be plenty of reasons to do so.
