lars I have a ghost photo question....
Comments (9)Stacy, after looking at the photo more closely, I think my first statement was wrong. If the guy had moved, he would be blurred, and there is no blurring. I'm sorry for making a hasty judgement, but as you can imagine, I've been very distracted lately. I'm not sure why part of him became transparent, but I am now convinced that there is something strange going on in the picture. What's important about the picture is that the edge of his shoulder and arm is sharp, yet transparent. I think it's a very interesting photo, and I think you should submit it to some paranormal sites. My original explanation is definitely incorrect, now that I look at it more closely. The edge of the transparent region is somewhat fuzzy, but that is understandable. BTW, I went to an awards banquet at the Waldorf Astoria back in 1992 (December), which was the coldest weather I've ever experienced. It was 31° with a tremendous wind chill from the strong winds howling down the avenues. It wasn't so cold on the streets, but the avenues were unbearable. I walked four blocks from my hotel to the Waldorf, and I thought I was going to die! Obviously, I didn't walk back! Lars...See MoreLars....Hummus question
Comments (16)Here is the recipe I used. It is from a book called "Bread" by Eric Treuille and Ursula Ferrigno. My changes are in italics. Naan 2 tsp dried yeast 1 c milk 4 c AP flour 1-1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 3 T plain yogurt 2T ghee or unsalted butter -- I used butter Sprinkle the yeast into 1/2 c of the milk in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes: stir to dissolve. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl, make a well in the center and add the dissolved yeast, sugar, yogurt and butter. Mix, stirring in the remaining milk as needed to form a soft, sticky dough. -- as written my dough was quite stiff, I added about 1/4 c more milk than called for Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Put the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a clean dish towel. Let rise until double in size, 3-4 hours. Punch down and let rest 10 minutes. -- I oiled the bowl and turned the dough to coat. Highly recommend doing so Divide the dough into four equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece to form a round 6 inches across and 1/4 inch thick. Pull one side to form a tear shape, stretch the dough until it is about 10 inches in length. Preheat the broiler on it's highest setting. Preheat a baking sheet under the broiler for about 2 minutes. Place two pieces of the dough on the hot baking sheet. Broil for about 2-3 minutes per side, until puffy and golden. --watch carefully, once it starts browning it goes very fast! Repeat with the remaining two pieces of dough.

Comments (48)I remember the "down below" convo came up on GW a number of years ago, and a member who has since left the forum was adamant that there's something weird, wrong, and perverse about women who "'scape" down there. I remember being taken aback by the things she said, thinking it such a personal matter, that I couldn't imagine anyone possibly caring about what someone else does to the hair in their nether regions! I still feel the same way. Shave it, wax it, grow it long and strong... whatever one prefers --- and for many, there ARE definite preferences....See MoreHanging Kitchen Towel?

Comments (44)I have a basket of clean folded k towels on the counter, and a tin bin on the lower level of the island where they go if they are dirty. No handle on my d/w or fridge. I do have one on my oven, but it is purely decorative. My range is quite large --- 5 feet wide-- and black, with a stone wall as a backsplash. I think a bit o' fabric is a relief. It has three ovens, and the towel is on the least used oven; the warming oven. It opens like a cabinet door so there is no tisue with the towel hitting the floor. This is the k towel that is there now, but I have a few faves I rotate in. PS Shout out to Jakabedy, LynnNM, Tishtosh, et al in NM and 2Ktaz-about-to-be-3.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI'm reluctant to post photos (and will not post any on any of the other forums) because I know that my color preferences are pretty much opposite of what most people post on Houzz. Photos are in my profile.
The refrigerator is back in place so that the water supply hose could be reconnected, but the rest of the appliances are in the dining (sewing) area. The new kitchen table (less than a year old) is still in the living room in front of (but not blocking) the TV.
There is a slight problem with the sink because it is 33"OAW (although the opening is only about 30" wide), and the cabinet to hold it is only 32" wide inside, behind the doors. I think they will have to remove the subtop to alter the sides of the cabinet in order to undermount the sink. I do not like overmounted sinks, but if I end up with one, it won't be that bad - just a bit of a disappointment.

The pastel turquoise is supposed to match the pool water, which can be seen from the kitchen table in the bay window.

Here's a "before" photo, which was on the realtor's website.The sink is in front of the window, but slightly off-center.
Here's the floor plan that I drew before I started. The new sink will look different.Here's the new sink, in storage in my garage:
It will be rotated 180° so that the smaller side is next to the D/W, and the garbage disposal will go under the small side.
