(They would sell it in quarts.) I don't know where you live but I saw plenty of egg nog and "boiled custard" (half gallons) in the dairy case this year. Or you could just go to a liquor store and buy a boozy bottle of 'Old Mr. Boston' Egg Nog. I'm thinking of getting some tomorrow for New Years Eve. :) Jill |

I usually make several batches of them. Thanks to me health scare this year I didn't make any. The only Christmas baking I did this year was the light fruit cake and a batch of gingerbread. The people who got fruitcake gifts all said it was the best I had ever made. |

I l.o.v.e. mince pies!! But I do admit to not seeing a single pie at any store this year. |

That愀 easier to say than mirror paw. === The Trinity known as Mirepoix - Mirepoix (pronunciation: meer-PWAH) is the aromatic flavor base made by lightly cooking onions, celery, and carrots. ... Mirepoix is traditionally used as a flavoring ingredient, which means the vegetables are typically strained out or removed from the final dish before the end of the cooking process. |

I see you've recovered completely from your Covid-19 infection and are now back to your original form, Bryan. I've berated you as sarcastically as possible several times, and all I ever got was labelled a 'wacky misfit'. Others here similarly get described as 'goofy', etc. John, at least, has committed the atrocious act of giving us a negative non-professional opinion of your mental health, and this from someone who admits to mental health issues of his own. So what did Julie do to you specifically to merit such personal animus? |

Thank you! Now please explain 'bouquet garni'. ;) I use a tea ball for that particular blend of herbs used to season a soup rather than bother with making a bundle using cheesecloth tied with kitchen twine.

Interesting! I have to wonder why the Moen faucet in my second bathroom is the old fashioned type with separate handles for hot and cold. (The ones in the main bathroom sinks are single handle faucets.) The two handle faucet looks nice but it's not nearly as easy to get the right combo of hot and cold water. Jill |

I'd never given it a thought of who invented the single handle faucet but I'm glad they did. As to why your second bathroom has the separate handles is maybe the main bathroom had been updated to the single handle faucet? If the second bathroom was not used that much they probably didn't see the need to upgrade or spend the extra cash. |

Mostly is is style driven I guess and Moen will make what sells. |

Called a "tarte flambée" in French, it's a specaility of Alsace. In its basic form it is a thin crust spread with crème fraiche or sour cream, thinly sliced onions and bacon. Damn! It's good! |

I understood exactly what you meant, Cindy. :) >> where my property begins and ends. > The lender required that a survey be made prior to making the mortgage. > Cindy Hamilton As far as "house inspections" go, at one point years ago I considered selling my house. More than one real estate agent told me no buyer would be able to get a mortgage [lender] to sign off on it unless I first corrected some issues with wood rot. The wood rot is mainly on exterior window trim on the back patio; it's decorative, not structural. Still would have been enough for the lender to turn down the deal. Jill |

I was three miles from the blast. Who does your niece have her service through? Service was out for AT&T customers in middle Tennessee, part of southern Kentucky. a large portion of Alabama, and all the way down to Atlanta although all of Atlanta was not affected. Most everybody had service until around noon when the back-up batteries died. |
