I think Brandine’s crock is bigger than ‘Face’s entire apartment.
I have a bigger crock than that.
My mom used to make sauerkraut in it.
But did your mom make kimchee?

I see your ukulele and raise you an accordion.
No.
However, she made a mean banana pudding, topped with meringue.
I understand that “real” banana pudding includes “whipped cream” from a spray can.
I’ve never encountered that.
Did you live in South Carolina?
Nope. Folks came up from Wise County, Virginia.
Hillbillies. Set a spell. Y'all come back now.
My mother-in-law would never beat egg whites. Not enough cholesterol, for one thing, and she’d need another cigarette before they were stiff!
Mom did the meringue by hand.
Either beating the eggs was exercise for beating us, or beating us was preparation for working in the kitchen.
She was good at both.
You turned out so well that maybe her methodology was optimal.
Thanks for my first lol of the day!
If I weren’t so darned lazy, I’d study HTML. The guilt of having fun as opposed to doing work usually wins, and stopping work usually means total shutdown/vegetative state.
Awwww...thanks for the $$$.
It is 52 outside, with wind at 25+mph. My little Storm glass has beautiful white crystals, almost to the top. Yesterday, it was clear. And the Galileo says it’s 66 in here...on a purple globe. The barometer says it’s fair. I had to put on another blanket, last night! LOL!
I love “Coast Guard Alaska,” but can’t get it. My cable bill went from $90 to $130 in a year, and nothing had changed except their billing padding. GAH!!
We aren’t allowed to put dishes on the eaves any more, so satellite TV is out.
My sister likes to watch “My Big Fat Irish Gypsy Wedding,” or something like that. *sheesh*
One of the hardest things for me to ever do was to let HockeybugHow take my car 125 miles, in the dark to a U-2 concert...with three friends. The only rules: Fill the tank, and no smoking in the car.
I had forgotten that this was a holiday weekend. Yoiks! My son will be 48 on the 2nd...(I’m not old enough to have a kid that old! LOL!)
Bill will be fine, I’m sure!
I think you may be right. LOL!
Though Friday is my next visit to the doctor so maybe I can finally get on the list for a one bedroom place. Oh...but then, I would have to buy a bed...and dresser. wow. Maybe even a sofa bed...scary. VERY scary thinking about living like a real person for a change...*shudder*

Ken sat on his towel and stared out at the sea. He sensed and felt the approach of the dragon. Wind from the wings swept over him, and the ground trembled slightly with its landing.
Ken looked around. There had been no sound.
Ke’Enarsha stood within a pace of him, towering over him.
“I could eat you.” Rumbled the dragon’s deep voice.

Mom's methodology was to make things fit their spaces; the trick of getting the maximum quantity into a suitcase.
I was always a surprise to her, not quite fitting whatever container for me she chose, like those "snakes in a can" you see in slapstick comedy.
Like Shrek, with his "onion" analogy, I have layers. Most days, I am as calming and somnorific as a ticking clock, or a ticking time-bomb.
