And if that is the problem, easy to aerate again.
I've never boiled water to remove chlorine. I've just filled something
up and let it sit unopened overnight.

I was often asked to replace the high light bulbs while painting a
house. Never asked to wash a high window though. Those people hire
window washers occasionally.
 
You have a high window, Jill. Who cleans that?

Lights that burn out especially those that require me climbing a
ladder I replace with LEDs, they can last longer than me. Even the
outside lighting is now all LED, and the two nice brass lighting
fixtures on both side of our front door are now LED bulbs that come on
at dusk and go off at dawn, there are individual bulbs like that. Each
time an incandescent bulb burns out I replace it with an LED. All the
LED lighting we now have has cut our electric bill by more than half
and we have five times as much light... outside LED lights can light
up a ball field but use 10 times less Wattage than incandecents. LED
light bulbs cost about 10% more than incandescents but last 15 years.
I installed an LED fixture over our bathroom mirror because that's the
one my wife uses the most and never remembers to turn it off, has ten
LED lamps but uses only 10 Watts total, the old ugly one had six
inandescents, 60 Watts each, now I'm no longer bothered when I get up
at 2AM and that lamp is on. I switched all our night lights to LED, 6
of them, were 8 Watts each... those tiny incandescent bulbs are about
79¢ each and rarely last more than 4-5 months, now .5 Watt each, give
more light and have a 15 year life. Outdoor LED lighting is
wonderful, far more light at far lower
wattage... flood/spot light incandescents were double 100 watt bulbs,
now a single 15 watt LED, brighter light and lasts 10 times longer. We
had our electrician install the fixtures because he said that with
LEDs polarity matters.

Indeed; muscles are far superior to oysters in flavor, texture and culinary
variety.

What's worse than eating 11 oysters off your mothers private parts?
 
Realizing you only put 10 in.

Only in RFC. One can go cold turkey and the physical addition to
nicotine is over in less than a week. It's the psychological addiction
that can continue for a month or more....and even forever.

Just boggles the mind doesn't it Cindy? I only get wifi in my 2
bedrooms. I deal with it. Don't let it upset you.

You've got that right. It was a novelty when I was 12 years old that one
time but nothing to look for again. It's just a restaurant gimmick.
 
When I want a good steak, it will be at home.

Same here:) When we want steak ... I cook them:)))))

Breakfast: "The PPP" - Stuffed bell pepper hoagie with provolone and
pesto.
 
Lunch: Home-smoked brisket(*)
 
Dinner: Ham, cabbage, potatoes.
 
(*) I'm always checking meats for mis-marked stuff. This was a
Prime trimmed brisket marked at the Select, untrimmed packer cut
price for $2.06/lb.

I made a batch of CC cookies in the past year. I used the dough recipe
but left out the chocolate. They were very tasty.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Vichyssoise should be eaten
right away either. Isn't it supposed to be pureed then chilled first?
 
I've made it a few times but I like it chunky and hot. No chilled soup
for me, thank you. :)

Hey, I love asparagus! Just wish the stuff available wasn't always
pencil thin.

I've never heard of that but the addition of a little ginger sounds
worth trying.

I bought a tiny bottle of the original once. Didn't like it at all. Even
the tiniest bit was too much. Guess I just don't care for smoked meat
much. OR...it's different when cooked over a real fire.

I didn't save the recipe and normally I don't use recipes when I cook. I jut
use whatever I have. That time, I specifically bought things for the recipe
because I brought them with me to my MIL's house. IIRC, it had the beef, cut
in serving size pieces, carrots, celery, asst. bell peppers, potatoes,
onion, mushrooms, tomato sauce, a bit of Worcestershire sauce, salt pepper,
and Italian seasonings. I recall making it in the Crockpot. and there were
no leftovers. It was enough 7 people, but some people would have liked
seconds and there were none.

That is not a Tanzanian recipe. I don't remember where I got the recipe.

I miss those very old Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movies. Those were good.
