- When you open a plastic bag, such as for garbage (but if they’re left lying around he loves to sit on them) - this doesn’t apply to treat bags
- Tall men with deep voices - roughly 6’3” (1.9m) or taller

oh that sounds lovely
I always think I’m so clever when I host a gathering because “I get to be in the comfort of my place.” And then when I’m ready for everyone to leave I remember why I shouldn’t host.
But then I forget all this and plan to host something again.
Great photos! I think cheeky sparrow Sundays should be a recurring thing
Does it usually come from the same number or numbers? If so, I’d block it/them and move on.
You tried your best to get them to at least contact her for updated information. Blocking the number(s) means you no longer see the confirmations and such. The only issue down the road would be you won’t get your own confirmations if you ever book with them and use that phone number.
Did you knit it for him? It’s such a great color!

I spent probably 10 seconds looking for the feline in the bottom left before the light bulb went off
I kept thinking “don’t do it, you’ll hit the ceiling” while she was planning, but she obviously knows her limits much better because she made it look easy

Just in time to start my mystery knit along, I finished both yip yips. The knit eyes worked out really well. I’ve never laughed so much while knitting something, these were a really fun project
Remember those “Martians” from Sesame Street? A friend asked me to make a couple of these for their kid. My first one is on the left and the pattern photo is on the right. I’m going to try to knit some eye balls instead of using ping pongs, we’ll see how that goes
Edit: Here’s the recipe. I couldn’t find a recipe that didn’t use already-made dill pickles, so I combined several recipes instead. I used the National Center for Home Food Preservation’s vinegar solution ratios for sweet pickles to make sure the pH was safe. Then I used a combo of spices from a sweet dill recipe and a sweet horseradish recipe.
My dill plants didn’t do well this year, so I used dried. It’s important to note, I’ve never made this recipe before and since I just canned yesterday I don’t know yet whether it’s good.
Makes 4-5 pint jars
- 4 lbs cucumbers
- 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 3.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup canning salt
- In each clean, sterilized jar add:
- 0.75 tsp mustard seed
- 1 Tbsp dill weed
- 1.5 tsp prepared horseradish Cut off a little of the blossom end. Slice and put in hot vinegar solution. When cucumbers are heated through, pack in jars. Add vinegar solution, leaving a 1/2” headspace. Water bath can for 10 minutes.
Fewer people at home this week, so I made a half recipe of my usual Soft French Bread (that’s what the recipe calls it) and baked it in a sandwich loaf pan. Forgot the egg wash but it’s still tasty!
Edit: here’s the recipe
- 230g warm water
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1-1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp oil (I usually use olive oil)
- 355g all purpose flour
- 1-1/8 tsp instant yeast
- Mix all ingredients in bread machine on dough cycle. Let rise until end of dough cycle. Shape into loaf and let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 375F for about 25 minutes.
We’ve noticed we don’t find monarch caterpillars on milkweed plants that have ants on them. We’ve also noticed if ants start coming on a plant with a caterpillar on it, the caterpillar disappears. It doesn’t seem to show up on a neighboring milkweed plant either.
I’m wondering if anyone has a way they keep ants off these plants so the caterpillars can continue their life cycle in peace.
First try at making hot dog buns today. Next time I’m definitely going to do 8 buns instead of 6. Other than that, do you have any tips or tricks to shaping them?
Just have to vent, because I’m struggling to finish this sweater. The body was knit with US 17s (12mm). Now I’m doing the sleeves on US 19s (16mm) because my gauge was too tight with the 17s. I have discovered I don’t like knitting with these size needles. They’re uncomfortable for me to hold and knitting with them feels like a chore.
Vent over. Hopefully I’ll get this sweater off the needles today or tomorrow, and now I know to avoid any more projects using these needles.
Mixed and did first rise in my bread machine
Slow but steady progress on my socks
