When Oxyclean is dissolved into hot water, hydrogen peroxide is the result, so I think we are confirming each other’s approach. 

I stopped microwaving them because they seem to disintegrate from that.  Instead I soak them in Oxyclean or hydrogen peroxide (same thing). 

First step is to be born with artistic talent and patience for carving.

We had a fire in our kitchen many years ago. Insurance paid for everything to clean it up. All our clothes, rugs, and furniture were sent to Dallas for cleaning. Carpet was steam cleaned on site. Every inch of the walls and ceilings were washed twice with the yellow product from Totally Awesome (at Dollar Tree) and…

So to summarize:  Carmakers are afraid of modern technology.  They bought into it back in the past and those people still work there.  It’s the technology they grew up with and are comfortable with.  Big Auto then missed out on hiring new talent, and here we are. 

Who remembers putting rice in the salt shaker to break up the clumps in humid places. 

You need a better way to home in on your target audience than ‘four seasons.’ Living in San Antonio it seems like we have 4 seasons. Sure we don’t get a lot of snow and temps seldom dip lower than the mid 20s, but all the plants you mention live on year after year planted in the ground. Both the upright jasmine and…

First of all, hate is a pretty strong word.

Raised beds are exactly what they are cracked up to be. Your expectation of living in the perfect world is not what it’s cracked up to be.

I don’t prep the soil under a raised bed. These blocks from the Home Depot make it easy to anchor the corners and slip 2x6 boards into.

We offered 5% more than asking and wrote a letter. We met the seller, and she told us the deciding factor to take our offer was that my wife was an educator as was the seller’s father. I believe there were offers for more than 5% over, but she took ours.

Have you ever seen a cake cutter? It’s just a big fork. Biscuits split better with a fork, too.

Funny!

I put Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides, pop it into the bag, and cook at 129 degrees for 2 hours. Sear with a weed torch (Harbor Freight), and serve sizzling. Butter is optional at the table. I’ll try putting chives into the bag.  Sous vide is dead simple. 

Not only that, but the left handed pruner is using a right handed tool. He’ll probably get the job done but be more frustrated doing it.

I can see the labels quickly expanding and overlapping other labels.

The pruning technique illustrated is the poor technique of leaving stems sticking out from the main branch.  Always prune back to the main branch. 

I’m in the greys on The Root, but...

It’s been a long time since I was sliding on the grass, but as I recall, “grass stains” do not come from grass. They came from weeds, like clover, growing in the grass.  I suppose there are different kinds of grasses, so maybe it was just the grass in our neighborhood. 

What dress code rules will the governors’ usurp next? Short skirts? Mustaches? Open toed shoes?  Maybe the president should make local decisions for us.  Or the United Nations.
