Roasting a local chicken with lemon and garlic, making a potato and squash mash, and enjoying what are looking like the last of the summer tomatoes. Football watching on sunday will be meatball subs and miller lite ;)

"Check all the toilets are fully flushed"

This one is too funny. Don't people check for this...every time they use the bathroom?!

Looks like a bloody mummy had a run-in with a lampshade cage.

I pull store-bought dough from the fridge the night before I need it-- I plop it into a very lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with cling wrap, and stash the whole thing in a dark cool cabinet until the next day when I get home from work. The dough expands to three times its size, and it's way easier to work with. I punch out the bubbles quickly, cover loosely, and let it rest in the dark cabinet while I prep the other pizza toppings and pre-heat the oven. Then I roll it out on a floured counter (from the center, turning a quarter turn each time), then transfer it to my cooking surface. Perfect dough every time this way, and there is practically no headache or prep. It takes legit 1 minute to dump the dough and stash it the night before.

You can definitely machine wash most down comforters, but use cold water and throw tennis balls and several dryer sheets in the dryer with the comforter. Machine dry it partially, then let it air dry the rest of the way. Otherwise, yes, damp warm feathers smell not unlike wet warm dog.

I used to run a laundromat and got pro at this ;)

This reminds me of Christies in Newport, Rhode Island. But I don't live there, so it's nifty when you visit. Not sure I could live with this everyday!

Um, can someone get those frites to me, stat?

I'm so sad that the weather is so humid... I'm dying for some homemade mayo or aioli!

Palm Oil aside, I remember hearing these two young women on NPR and I was so impressed by their smarts and dedication, and at the same time how they still sounded like little girls. It was refreshing to hear, in an age where many tweens would rather be texting, sexting, and whatnot and dressing more provocatively than my 25 yr old self.

Now, you kids get off my front lawn.... ;)

Oh, and I think I need that "what chew want?" board at my house!!! Love it.

Any idea what that drink is? Limeaid? A mojito? Bueller?
