  1. This made me smile. Thanks for that, tim.
  2. I like the idea of using the pastry blender. Having said that, the one we have is one my mom has had for decades. The metal “blades” are much thinner than the pic you posted - and which is what I’ve seen for sale nowadays - so I don’t think it would be a very effective tool for breaking up nuts.
  3. I like this trick. Thanks, tim. I haven’t tried this myself, but here’s a trick for breaking up ground beef as you are frying it. Instead of using a fork use a potato masher. Mashing and twisting the masher in the beef is supposed to make it easier to break up the beef into smaller bits than using a fork.
  4. Hang in there, rick. All my best to you and your brother.
  5. Not much for prayer, so I’ll send good thoughts her way.
  6. Very impressive, indeed. I’m guessing Ken forgot all about the dust on the floor after being hit by Oliver’s “lightning bolt”, eh?
  7. That had me from the first word, tim. Well done! PS: I wasn’t expecting Oliver’s response at the end, mind you. My curiosity is piqued.
  8. Congratulations to you and Justin!! PS: Thank goodness for technology!
  9. Oh I dunno, he sounds kinda crafty to me.
  10. My legs never talked to me that I recall, but I can distinctly remember the time they would only go up the stairs sideways. I’m guessing they were showing their displeasure about being worked too hard…
  11. Been there, done that, though I can’t remember now what “that” was. Good day to you as well. K.
  12. Very sensible all things considered. Edit: And that is it for me. Good night all…
  13. Give an inch and she tries for the mile. PS: That’s a hellavu long trip especially with many states on the route right in the middle of winter. She have a screw loose, perhaps? 🤔
  14. Good for her, but I suppose that means there will be further shenanigans in your future…
  15. They happen when the time is right, and that is as it should be.
  16. Even when you’re “bad” you’re good. I just know this to be true.
  17. Wonderful news that is, molly.
  18. My mom loves butternut squash, but yes, peeling it is a pain, so I’m going to look for this one next time.
  19. Wishing Phil good luck for his appointment tomorrow. 🍀
  20. I see it now that I googled it. I even came across a recipe for cooking it. https://nomnompaleo.com/post/11136213353/roasted-kabocha-squash PS: I love the fact they’re all Ontario grown.
  21. Okay, this got me curious, so I did a little researching of my own. Apologies if I’m stealing your thunder, but I think it’s this type of squash. http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/content/malabar-gourd.htm
  22. Okay, I just thought of something. Will you tell him you had your relationship to him conformed via surreptitiously obtained DNA? Or if you don’t tell him and he figures that out? Some people might not be okay with that approach. If he’s one such person this could go very badly for you. You need to protect yourself as well, Ryan.
  23. On the other hand by obtaining and testing his DNA beforehand, it would determine if he is @Ryan Jones’s son or not without interrupting his life. The only issue I can see here is he may not want his DNA on record as this is the case with many individuals. Maybe being upfront about the situation is the best way to go? That is, let the choice be his. You know put his wishes above all else as hard as that may be it is showing respect towards him, which is something he might greatly appreciate and view as a positive. Just my two cents…
