Personally, I really dislike this, but I have a flat-finished grand that I absolutely adore; I might feel different with an old spinet.
Pianos are usually open-grain veneered, so the...
The alternator literally fell out of our camper onto a dirt road in the Bisti Badlands (it was as much fun as it sounded!)
Now, I live in Miami, which I've learned is death to GPS syst...
Given our overuse of antibiotics and antibacterials, and the subsequent increase in super-bugs and allergies, this post strikes me as distinctly irreponsible, not to mention bad for the environment...
On camping trips, we're always on the lookout for the perfect local hot dogs. It's a bit of a family obsession--all beef, with natural casings...no celulose here!
This site sells vintage textiles from all over the world, but I've used them for advice on how to mount a fragile Navajo rug so I could hang it on the wall (they describe a variety of techniques, b...
Ours varies radically based on what we're doing...overnight kayaking trips get home-made dehydrated meals, car-camping gets stews and chili, etc. sealed in bags. Just heat them up, and you don't ...
We used to have a loveseat by a window until the dogs started scrambling up on the back of it to see out. After several yelps and tumbles behind the sofa (and terrible scratches to the leather), w...
Climbing the log ladders to the cliff houses at Mesa Verde National Park, and scrambling around on boulders at Rocky Mountain. I loved how safe I felt with my dad behind me, knowing he wouldn't le...
The Maritime provinces are spectacular....The first mussels I ate (as a girl from Oklahoma) were on family vacation in P.E.I., at a church supper recommended by the owner of the campground we staye...
Before, in Oklahoma, crickets, frogs, and distant barking dogs (inevitably followed by reciprocal barks from my two). So much for that--now, I live in South Beach, with the sounds of general drunk...
We freeze-dry for camping (there are whole cookbooks for this), and it actually turns out very well. Plus, the home-made kind avoids the massive sodium overload in lots of commercial freeze dried ...
My grandpa was an anatomy prof, so had skulls (gorilla, porpoise, etc) in his garage, along with strange things in jars of formaldehyde. I have those now, along with unfortunately-titled, conversa...
I have bread dread too....but this was one of my first smitten kitchen recipes, and put me on the way to getting over my fears of yeast. The pretzels were completely, fantastically worth it, excep...
Coming from Oklahoma originally, any other liquor laws sound fantastic--we have only 3.2 beer in grocery stores...and it gets more and more obscure from there!
I will say that the sele...
I don't know about thinner siblings, but younger ones do eat differently. I'm a saver...but my husband (with hordes of older brothers) is a quick, inhale it before someone steals/spits on/eats it ...

My cat does MUCH better with me, in a car or plane, than at a kennel or with a pet sitter. As long as her people are there, she's fine!
ahem. Cellulose.

My bare wood floors need this rug!

Fantastic--I love that it's saturated with color but relaxing at the same time.
