Like Moni, I love hardware stores, but the best in the world has to be our local Ace. Helpful people, always have what you need, willing to pool expertise to solve problems, this store is the tops! I even bake them cookies once in a while just to say thanks for all the help.

what is your favorite store bought hotsauce??
Q

koreyk>>the vinegar is a preservative that keeps the acidity of the final sauce low enough to prevent microbial and fungal growth outside of a refrigerator setting. Generally speaking in a home made hotsauce, salt is irrelevanet although in the quantities that Tobasco uses, it also is a preservative. If you don't want to add vinegar at all to your hot sauce, you probably need to ferment using lactic acid fermentation (whole long other discussion, not going into here..:)). This also provides you with the required low acidity to store outside the refrigerator. If you don't mind storing in the fridge and possible having to throw some away if it goes bad you can pretty much do whatever you want and don't have to add any preservative agents We make hot sauce that is vinegar based. We put the chile pods whole or sliced into jars filled with 5% vinegar(kind you buy at store) and store the jars for atleast 6 months. This allows the vinegar to mellow and the chile flavor to infuse. Then drain the vinegar off (but save it), put the softened peppers in the blender/cuisinart and blend until smooth. Add the vinegar back to the mix until you get a consistancy that you like. Add any other flavorings you want (i.e. garlic, cilantro, tomato, onion etc) and mix. Depending on what you add and how acidic it is you can store outside of the fridge or inside the fridge. kendra

I actually like WalMart I like their store brands and they carry or carried Ship and Shore which used to be a big name brand. When I was working I'd get some thing in Penney's once in a while and made most of my clothes

What are your favorite catalogs/online stores for linens?

Garnet Hill for sure, most of the GH linens are made in Portugal (not the Lilly Pulitzer and other designer stuff, I've never ordered any of those) and are very nice quality, have great and fun prints, last forever and aren't all silky, just crisp and clean feeling. They also have great sales at the end of the seasons and every day they have "Sale of the day" items, you can get some great deals on their sheets when they are on the sale of the day. sandyponder

We are limited here, too. Hobby Lobby has quite a good selection of supplies (much better than Walmart, and their prices on equipment are about the same). However, the best here is a store that 2 fellow addicts just opened about a month ago. It's called Scrapbook Station and they have the prettiest papers, a huge selection of stickers by all the best manufactuers, a really fancy die-cut machine( for a nominal fee, they will cut your pictures in the shape you want), absolutely gorgeous albums--It's just paradise. Their papers and stickers are about the same price as anywhere else, but other supplies (punches, etc.) are really much higher. I won a free crop during their grand opening week, but I'm not going to use it until school's out--I want to stay all day and get the good out of it! i wish we had a Michael's around here. I hear they are about the best as far as chains go. Agree?

Bookstores-Waldens, Barnes and Noble, Borders. I walk in and buy a coffee, pick out a book and "peruse" it while I drink. My daughter and I used to go there for "coffee breaks". I went there one Saturday night and got "hit on" by a cute guy looking for a date. I turned him down. I was just looking for a book. . .

Azzalea said mine-My favorite grocery store is Wegmans!! They are fairly new in Virginia, and they may be opening another one near us!!

After that I seem to end up in Target most often. I love to browse in bookstores, if I have some time and the kids are at home! lol

Thrift stores and garage sales...Used to be hooked on garage sales, have weened myself off them, only an occasional fix every now and then. I never have sales myself, just donate the stuff to charities, some of the things were even g.sale items.
