Hi Sue, you also.

Sorry about the early start to your day, hope it's not too long.



Morning Sue, hope your day goes well!

At least I start out with the one cleaning job I kept. By noon I should be able to handle the kids

Have you found a nest? Where there are two there are usually many more. Glad you got the one.


Time to replace the windows with the kind that tilt in for cleaning.


30+ years ago I went to France for 2 weeks of work then took the train to Zurich where my Dad and stepmother met me. They were vacationing for a month. Saw lots of cool things, have a "Bim Bam" clock from Munich. We were going to stop at Dachau on our way north but when we got to the turn off the major road we all decided we didn't think we could handle it.


More importantly, what kind of cheese was on it? Surely not the orange cheddar she was probably used to.


I had to look that one up. Interesting that it was not a good experience since this is the description I found:
"Durian lovers say it has a sweet, custardy taste, with the texture of creamy cheesecake. Flavors often attributed to the durian fruits are caramel and vanilla."
That sounds TASTY!


Somehow I don't connect oysters with fast food. I don't recall ever seeing them on any fast food menu, usually only in "higher end" restaurants.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen:
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nut lovers can add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the cake batter.
