I use my crockpot for these all the time... works really well.

now that just sounded dirty. lol.

this is essentially the same as my great grandmother's recipe, but, hers uses a bit more sugar, and no bay leaf. Perhaps I'll give the bay leaf a try next time.

I am currently half way through reading the book Bonk, by Mary Roach. Most easily described as a book of scientific history, she covers some interesting areas of research in the fields of both physiology and psychology, from the 1900's onward. Her approach is wonderfully humorous and manages...

I really truly enjoyed this one. I hope you will take the time to watch and enjoy it as well. YouTube - RSA Animate - The Empathic Civilisation

Okay, so, not long after getting our Telus TV, we realized that US stations would have their programming bumped by Canadian stations if they were carrying the same show. Handy right? You see the show at the time you want, Canadian advertisers still support Canadian channels, win win. But...

I went to resurrect an old thread that talked about my home made cleaner, because I wanted to post a video I found. Alas, the thread has been closed due to its advanced age... lol... so I will simply repost what I opened that thread with. Since coming down with fibromyalgia, I've become very...

So... we have a do not call registry, and the US has a do not call registry, but, I have a new issue... How on earth do I block American telelmarketers from calling my number!? And surely, if they're doing it to us, we're doing it to them, right? We must have robots from Ontario calling and...

I know, it's a bit redundant, we've talked before on here about prescription drugs, and the pharma biz, but I just wanted to share this little blurb from a pharmaceutical's website, since it caught my attention when it played on the tv just now.... "How does PRISTIQ work? As an SNRI...

Risus, I like to add dill popcorn seasoning (or dill dip mix, same thing) to a typical potatoe salad. It gives it a dilly zip.

I haven't seen this posted here yet... and yes, it's been overplayed, and around for a while... but my kids were looking for the lyrics and it hit me how few popular songs out there they are able to sing along with these days. It warms my heart to hear them belt this one out (even if they can't...

Okay, I've been having computer issues for a long time, with recurring freezing of my computer. It's now become immensely clear that it occurs anytime I watch any kind of video. I've uninstalled and reinstalled my web browser, as well as all the flash players, etc that I can think of, and...

YukonJack's thread regarding what our greatest gift over all the other animals is made me think to start this one. I've heard people point out the short comings of the human animal before, versus the design of other animals. So, what animal trait did we get shorted on in your opinion? I'll...

This week I've read a book called The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russel. It was a timely read given the hot topics of this forum. Faith, celibacy, alien contact, politics... yes... all that and more. Well crafted and a truly interesting read. I had initially thought to just suggest it to a...

I was watching a movie today and saw, yet again, a classic image we see in films out of the US.... an adult sitting in their childhood room in their parents' home. It's a constant thing in films from the US, but I suspect it's done merely for dramatic purposes. People don't REALLY leave their...

Okay, we've all seen them.... news articles that make us wonder just how slow the news is today. Well, here's tonights. Feel free to add more as you see them. Scabies outbreak in oil camp near Fort Mac

I watched the movie 'Pontypool' today. Set in Ontario, it's a movie about a group of people in a radio station and how they cope with a mysterious outbreak that causes chaos throughout their town. A very neat flick that I'd recommend any horror fan rent.

The first Sunday after Easter Sunday, mass was about Jesus' disciple Thomas, about his doubting, about his need to place his hands in Jesus' wounds. It sparked a homily from the priest about the purpose, the place, of suffering, in humanity, in which the message was simple.... ... like Jesus'...

lol... gee... that's a crucial little bit of info isn't it? lol. We used rice paper wrappers.
