The Garden Party

It's already been a MONTH!

14 years ago

Time is flying! As of today (actually, about 1 hour ago) we've been engaged for a month already. I can't believe it.

I'm a member of a group on LiveJournal for wedding planning. It's pretty fun and informative. I just posted a progress post, for the 11 month mark. Almost everything so far is tentative, but I thought it would be fun to go back in 10 months and look and see if ANYTHING is what I thought it would be.

Anyway, if anyone is interested in seeing all of my tentative wedding plans, click the link below. It's got shoes, dresses, headbands, veils, the guest book (my FAVORITE thing so far!) and venues.

Let me know what you think.

Hey Tish!

Nothing will be like you think and something will go wrong. As long as you handle it with affection and aplomb, it'll be ok. I've been married three times (UGH! let's don't go there). The first time was the huge white wedding with a veil that was hot glued to a headband and then flowers hotglued over it (tip there since you asked!), very formal in a church, and very somber... the flower girl did very well dropping her petals, until she got to the end of the aisle, turned, and ran up it yelling Mommy, Mommy, I did it! And the third one I only got to see/hold my bouquet for about ten minuets. It disappeared never to be seen again?! Just give it a good laugh and enjoy it as "memorable" when it happens. because. It will. (((smiles!!!)))

If you will have the young man contact me I will show him at least a dozen ways he can honorably weasel out of this affair. Sincerely Steve S.

It depends on the strength of the pickling solution and the refrigerator temperature. A pickled product can last a long time in those conditions. Probably you'll notice changes in texture (i.e. softening) first. Carol

Thanks for the replies. Well rooted: the vertical surfaces do seem to be just fine. I know I put one more coat on the top than I did on the legs, though. So, it's definitely thicker on the seat part. I guess I'll just wait it out. So far, it hasn't gotten much use so it hasn't been a problem. I'm just really concerned it will never cure. The only way to fix that would be to refinish the top again, right? :(

I love the DCS. I've had it for 8 years and only minor problems in the first year that were handled under warranty. The highs are powerful and the simmer is amazing. Dual stacked burners so you can simmer on every burner. I also find the sealed burners and SS top extremely easy to clean. The convection oven is great for baking, broiling and roasting. Frankly if I needed to replace it, I would either get another DCS or bite the bullet for the new Capital Culinarian. If you're not familiar with it, check out the appliance forum.

That is great to hear kpk63! My kitchen is small and I am leaning towards no dishwasher in favor of cabinetry. So the internal debate of single sink with versatile accessories vs. traditional double sink for daily dish washing seriously keeps me awake at night. A couple of questions though if you don't mind: How many dinner plates, cups, et cetera does the drying rack hold? In other words, can you wash all the dinner dishes without stopping to dry half-way through? Have you used the colander for straining pasta? I need to know specifically if the holes allow for a thorough draining. The Prolific sink is gorgeous and it is what I *really* want but if the function of the racks/ wash pan/ colander isn't there I cannot justify the cost.
