cut it into chunks and pressure can it. I do mine in pints; just put up eight pints last week ... 75 min at 15 lbs pressue [my elevation].
"My default is to disbelieve, not believe"
The police didn't believe a woman I knew or didn't care when a boyfriend broke her arm. She tried to file charges but they just took away his guns, and gave them back a week later. I started dating her a few months later and he kept calling her nonstop to come and visit him but I convinced her it was dangerous and she never did, thank god.
A few months later the guy Shoots and killed his new girlfriend who was leaving him and then shot himself. My girlfriend was traumatized and left me because how could she trust any man? I left her alone and a few months later we reunited and married in 1996.
The Victim's name was Jennifer Noack, and the killer's name was Duane F. Arbuckle, it happened in Crystal MN on October 16, 1993.
The only reference I could find was in the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women.
"Jennifer Noack, 23 Crystal October 16, 1993. Jennifer was shot and killed by her boy friend,Duane F. Arbuckle, who then shot and killed himself. Jennifer had just started a
graduate program at the University of Wisconsin in Eau Claire and worked in the Twin
Cities on weekends. She was breaking up with Arbuckle and had gone to his apartment
to pick up some belongings. When she didn't show up for work on Saturday morning the police were called."
Elmer, I'm not judging you on your comment but 1 in 3 women have faced some type of Physical violence by a partner and a claim of abuse should always be believed by default.
Large glass salad bowl from Germany. I'm surprised it never got broken in all these years. Bought in the mid 1980s. I don't use it much anymore because it's just me and I make my salads just big enough for me now, most of the time.
The roll I just ordered is the 80/20 blend. I think that is all I have ever used.
Another thing about wanting a 'warm' quilt is not to have the quilting on it too dense so make sure the batting you buy states how far apart is allowable. May we see some of the quilts you've made? I'm so visual, I have to watch tutorials on how to use special rulers. sigh. Welcome to our forum.
I don't think she meant OTC "miracle ear" things. I thought Annie meant the hearing aids they sell in their hearing center which are quality hearing aids, not merely amplifiers.
This was yesterday's Too Good To Go package -- $6.
Gardengal - wditing my response I had up briefly. I haven’t seen Costco’s frozen salmon, will look for that. Thanks!
gardengal, I've seen farmed salmon at Costco. Did I misunderstand what you said?
I like Norwegian farmed salmon once in awhile, it's very creamy. Just as something in the rotation. We get it only at Whole Foods.
One of my favourites.

I’m pretty sure they don’t pour anything over the rolls at Cinnabon - I watched them through the window many years ago also! And yeah, I remember thinking the ”butter” was awfully yellow…it looked more like margarine or some kind of spread. But the cream poured over does make these rolls extra gooey! I think she has a youtube video if anyone is interested in the step by step process.
Elizabeth, thank you! - the blue dutch oven is a Staub, and was a Mother’s Day gift from my husband and college kids. They gave me a pretty apron that matches also. They clearly like having me in the kitchen, lol!
Lars, I’ve never made croissants, but would like to try sometime. When I make homemade biscuits, I fold the dough over multiple times (roll, fold over, roll again, fold over, etc), but the butter is already cut into the dough.
I think the donate to charity thing is great if that’s what the couple requests. But if it’s not, it’s not much of a gift at all. I’d give them money and if THEY decide to forward it to a charity, great, let them do that and let them take the deduction. But it’s not like rich people don’t need, want, and buy things. Being 1-percenters does not necessarily mean they have unlimited funds to spend however they want without thinking. Maybe they’ll decide to buy something for their home with the money, something they’ll remember they bought with grandma’s gift. Something that they wouldn’t otherwise splurge on. Whatever they choose to do, that’s the gift they received.
