@jackieb. I'm made "cheese-it's" and as soon as I'm done baking they go straight into a jar, without the lid, till they cool. I've had crackers for almost 2 weeks and they are still crispy. I've also made chive and onion, and because I like to keep my kitchen "scraps" I've used bacon fat to flavour it as well. A bit of fleur de sel on top. Yummy.

I always add at least a tablespoon of white vinegar (depends on how many I am making). I find it help to keep the flour tortillas soft. And a cast iron skillet cranked on high for less than a minute a side.

I know here in Canada, it's illegal to cover something of that sorts up. My husband's co-worker is in the middle of a big legal battle because in order to fill a giant hole in the yard they used whatever they could find. IE: Paint cans, bricks, garbage, wood. Then built a shed on top of it. Yup! That would be a serious fire hazard, all that soot and ask and stuff. Yes it is closed in, but that could be why they did it. There was a chimney fire.

3$ a gallon I would kill for that price. In Canada we pay almost 7$. I buy organic non-homo and it cost me 3.50 for a litre. Food prices are always a lot cheaper in the US.

Easier way to fill, is not to fill the whole thing at once. Fill one end with the proper tip, then fill the other end. But spreadind and filling would not result in the same thing, and you spread would melt cause you have to roll the cookie as soon as it comes out of the oven.

My mum used an "old wives tales" and put a cork under my dad's pillow, haven't heard a thing since. Same for my hubby, he makes ALL KINDS of weird sleeping noises and snores as well. Cork in his pillow, very rare do I hear him now. Cost us the bottle of wine, which we drank :)

I have a beagle and a black lab that were there before we had my son. We were always planning on having kids so while my dogs were pups I poked and prodded them, pulled their tails, ears, and fur. I did everything I though a baby would do.
Mind you my beagle leaves when my son is rough with her. My lab on the other hand used to lay at my son's feet when he was an infant and used to get the s**t kicked out of him, and still gets climed over and poked and nothing phases the dog. To train the dog to be gentle is good, but they also much be able to take the abuse that kiddies will dish out.

HOLY!!! A lot of horror stories.
Mine ended up being almost 20k in moving claims. Make a long story short, it was a HUGE company that was hired by the military (since here in Canada they pack and move us)

1. Packing for a 3 storey 4 bed house takes them under 6 hours?!

2. Loading truck takes them well over 13 hours.

3. Truck too small and at the end of the day when I show up from work, hubby was there, they joke they are going to cut the legs of my antique sewing machine.

4. Gets put in storage across country, Men who come to unload into our new house apologize before even introducing themselves.

5. Solid wood cracked in half, almost all boxes squished. Lawnmower oil all over my red sofas. We make them unpack and all boxes look like arms we pushed from one end of shelves to the other, stuff dropped in boxes then taped shut.

6. We either get stuff repaired or replaced. Then a little over a year later we have to move again. Resulting in a 5K claim.

Next time we have to move, no box is going to be taped shut until I see the inside and make sure stuff is packed properly.

Sad thing is, my first move with them, stuff was packed so well the only thing that broke was glass in a single picture frame. Stuff was so organized unpacking and putting stuff away was easy!!!.

Moral of the stories, people have NO work ethics or dont bother to take care of other people's possessions.

I think contact paper would be your best friend. It comes in a wide variety of color and as long as you get something opaque it should work. Peel and stick baby!

What I decided to use for my seedling are those clear plastic zipped bags that bedding come in. And also side bottles. Cut off top, fill bottom with soil, place top back on, without cover. Both free as it was stuff I had lying around.
