dyk yikes on the Costco run!


dyk I'm trying to start buying groceries here and there for Christmas, so it doesn't all hit at once


dyk I already have most of my cookie-making supplies (I think!), and I'm starting to figure out what else we'll be having

dyk DH's uncle has a REALLY old washer and dryer at the farm


dyk not sure exactly how old, but they are gold, so probably from the 70s?


dyk the washer doesn't get all the detergent out, and the dryer has hot spots...so most stuff is dried on the line in nice weather


dyk the towels are "crunchy"...I can't STAND it! Thank goodness we don't usually stay there when we visit!

dyk years ago, someone drove through my dad's furniture store; luckily, no one was hurt (though some expensive furniture perished)


dyk but the problem was user error; not an auto starter


dyk I suspect that dad still does not find anything about this funny.

dyk that's what we did


dyk our washer died a few months ago (quit working while full of clothes *and* water--had to shop-vac the water out!)


dyk the dryer worked fine, except that the selector knob had been broken off since we moved, and I couldn't get the thing to turn, so I had to dry everything on "high"


dyk getting excited about new appliances makes me feel old... ;o)


dyk I'm currently dreaming of a new stove...

dyk LOL--I agree! I have no problem with the raw meat issue


dyk my MIL confused me over Thanksgiving when it came to that, though (she's not much of a cook)...is one supposed to *rinse* a turkey *after* brining it?? Aren't you supposed to do that *before*? Wouldn't the rinsing just rinse off the brine (I know some infuses into the meat, but still, wouldn't you want what's on the skin to stay on there??)


dyk and then, as I'm watching her do this, I'm thinking..."I'm going to have to sanitize that sink before I use it"...but of course by the time I used the sink I had totally forgotten about it, and didn't think about it until I was in bed that night...
