Infrastructure doesn't have to cost money
Comments (26)Yeah, I should do something like that, too. In fact, I may go back in now and wipe it down. (I did just switch to a soap dispenser that produces the foamy version of soap--I am SO in love with it!) Actually, talking of inventing a gadget--here's what I *really* want: I have one of those collapsible silicone colanders (I have the rectangular one, which I like better than the round for a couple of reasons--for a colander, anyway). (these are from Bed Bath & Beyond) I want a BOWL made this way (no holes)--the rectangular might be good bcs there'd be "swishing around" room. But the round one here is nice and deep. If it were *perfect*, it would have a plug in the bottom for drainage. And duh me, they make collapsible silicone bowls. this is even the same brand as that round colander, I think this is from the U.K.--doesnt say how big (but I still think I'd rather have a rectangular one, bcs there's more elbow room to swish, but I bet the round one would fit in the sink better.) But of course, that's not *free* infrastructure, and I should probably *create* this infrastructure by simply rearranging the bowls in my bowl cabinet so that a big one is down lower where it's easily reached. And then I can wash in the kitchen sink....See Moremy cat doesn't want to drink his own water!
Comments (12)I don't keep any water by the food bowl, for some reason, they just didn't drink from it much. We have a Drinkwell fountain, the cats drink from it a lot, but they also drink a lot from the dogs water bowls. We also have a large water bowl in the office we spend a lot of time in, and they all drink out of it, 2 cats, 2 dogs. DH says they never fight at the watering hole, lol, and its true, they share that big bowl nicely. The main thing seems to be that the bowl is clean and fresh water daily. One of our cats was quite ill when she was young, and the vet had us take a syringe without the needle on it, and shoot water down her throat several times a day. Between that and taking her temp daily, it was an adventure I don't care to repeat. But that cat does drink a fair amount of water on her own since then. I always keep the toilet lid down, too gross to see a pet in there. YUK. The lemon juice idea is great, I often offer my cat a sniff of lemony water or a bite of fruit, they look at it like it's poison. It helps keep begging/helping themselves under control. Good luck, hopefully Jasper will respond to a change....See MoreRECIPE: Doesn't This Sound Grand
Comments (12)Just as an update, I made these pies yesterday, and they're as good as they sound. I used venison instead of pork, though, so made a few changes. Basically, I used straight beef stock instead of combining beef & chicken. And red wine instead of white. And I added a tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary. In hindsite, I'm thinking Kalamata olives would have worked better with venison than the green ones. With the pies I made a simple mustard/sour cream sauce. The filling was enough for 15 pies, rather than the 12 the recipe says. But there was more than enough scrap pastry to roll out the additional squares. One comment on the pastry. By the time I rolled out and trimmed the discs I had more than enough for another disc. So next time I'll divide it into 5 disks instead of four. I also want to experiment running this pastry through the pasta machine, for better control of the thickness. There wasn't enough room in my processor to make the dough ball, which I discovered after the fact. So I had to pour the partially processed dough into a bowl and knead it by hand a bit. All in all, it was a worthwhile experiment, and a great addition to my finger-foods repertoire. I can see it for parties, or for a luncheon dish. In either case, I would cut them in half, on the bias, and serve with appropriate sauces....See MoreAdvice -- pull-down spiral kitchen faucet that doesn't look commercial
Comments (7)We just installed the Grohe K7 medium. At 21.5 inches is it smaller than some options. It is very functional for a wide sink and I think it is attractive even though a takeoff on the commercial types. I like this because it has no black plastic hose or buttons- more sleek looking and solid. It is expensive but the cheaper ones have mixed reviews. I also like that it isn't technically a pulldown so you don't have to worry about it docking correctly over time....See Morecaflowerluver
