I had this post in mind all day and almost went to buy lemons. Good thing I didn't. Going through the food on board this afternoon to figure out what I need to eat before crossing the board, I found in the freezer a bag with five limes in it. Three minutes in the microwave to thaw them out while I made the simple syrup, and within 10 minutes I had very tasty limeade! Freezing lemons and limes makes them so much juicier. I used a 3/4:3/4 ratio for the simple syrup and got about 1 1/4 cups of juice from my limes, and then to that I added 2 cups of water.

I like to make my own to control how much sugar goes in it as I like it very tart. I like strawberries in mine, but usually just go the water, sugar, and lemons route. How To Make Real Lemonade from Scratch Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn |

I sold my house as-is to a woman who bought it sight unseen as a weekend retreat. Six months after she bought, it she sent me an email to let me know she finally went out to look at it and that, "Wow, the house is in bad shape! I thought you said it was in terrible shape. I got such a bargain!" Moving Into A New Home, Sight-Unseen: Have You? Would You? |

You might also want a good 12V (car) charger. For Apple products, nothing beats Mikegyver's solutions (http://www.mikegyver.com/IdeasnProducts/). I don't get anything from him for promoting that link. I just think more people need to know about his products. Sure, you can charge through an inverter, but his solution is so much more energy efficient. The laptop charger has a USB port that charges my iPad or iPod Touch at the same time. 10 Portable Charging Solutions For Smartphone and Laptop Travelers |

"something most newer cooks don't usually have around" I'm French and have been cooking for more than 25 years, and this is the first time I have been told that I should have Madeleine pans.

Agree about FB. I follow one show that I have to watch on a streaming site the next day since I don't have a TV. I have to stay off FB while the episode is airing because the show producers and writers do a running commentary on what's going on. I love having the show on my feed since I get all the promos and extras, but on air day, I have to stay far away! The Ultimate Guide to Avoiding TV Show Spoilers |

My absolute favourite household task is doing my laundry by hand using my Wonder Wash and spin dryer. Seriously, I could do hand laundry all day. My least favourite household task is watering my batteries. That's not a typo, I live in an RV, and the house batteries have to be topped up with distilled water. I wound up splurging on a battery watering system and that has changed my life. What Household Tasks Do You Most Love and Hate? |
