This recipe needs to be written more clearly. In two places, it refers to 'the mixture'. One reference is to the vinegar mixture and the second appears to be to the carrot and onion mixture. Also it never explicitly says that the vinegar mixture is put into the jars to cover the peppers. And there is no indication of how many jars this will yield.

This is my first cure and I got carried away with the pictures:

Can the Obamas bring their own dishes for the residence?

I am going swimming and then to our local science museum where my husband works. After that, maybe happy hour. Who wants to waste a whole day off shopping?!

That is certainly one way to solve the problem - just eat them all now ;-)

We just had a our tub refinished. The prep and painting was on Monday from 8am until 2pm. Yesterday, he came back to clean-up and re-caulk the tub. We will be able to use tomorrow night. Our tub had been 'refinished' when the apartment went condo but we think the developer never did the prep so the finish started peeling immediately. This finish comes with 5 year warranty. The total cost was $350.

Just returned from a road trip through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and northern Michigan. I am going back to work on Tuesday.

To clarify, the utility boxes in question don't involve meters. We live in a condo complex and we have two cable tv installations and one installation in our back privacy area. Our electric meters are on the side of the building and are quite visible and ugly. We only bothered with these boxes because they were in the middle of our garden. The morning glories attract bees etc but so do the lilies, the nasturiums, and the humming bird feeder. THe last time a cable guy had to get to the box, we just ripped the morning glories down. We have lived there 6 years and only had to rip the flowers out once for service.

My husband is a very picky vegetarian - I call him a fussetarian who won't eat eggs if they look eggs, goat cheese because it comes from a goat etc. He is retired and I work so during the week we are often at different places at dinner time. Weekends, I make meat or chicken for me and any guests along with a substantial vegetable dish. I also do build your own things where everyone can indulge their own choices. We recently had a build your grilled pizza dinner with two kinds of mozarella, two kinds of goat cheese, various vegetables, and pepperoni plus a large green salad. It was a big success.
