You Know You're a Northerner When...

With regards to gluten free...I know Penny poo-poo'd the comment, but my office mate swears by the RD's comments. She wound up getting her daughter her own set of cooking items (it also helps the daughter went off to college this year) and she has done much better without the cross contamination. I'm so sorry about your stoneware! I don't cook but the hubby would die if he had to toss ours and pretty much any other kitchen item - especially the cast iron.

They definitely hold contamination---I can confirm that. Some don't, like the stainless steel bowls. My stand mixer was contaminated but I just cleaned it to within an inch of its life and it's been okay. No way was I tossing that!

You might be a northerner if: Getting dressed in the morning means putting a pair of jeans on over your flannel jammies.

Ya mean some people take off their pajamas in the morning?

Only to put on a clean pair!

Just go for a polar bear swim now and then. It cleans all your clothes at once.

... If you KNOW what Fannel Pj's and Flannel Sheets are ! better yet, you know what those 2 things are in FLEECE (my new best friend fleece sheets, so soft).

You have a Mattress pad heater so you can be toasty warm but still can see your breath in the room.

Lands End flannels are THE best....sheets do not pill up.

Don't like flannel sheets. Wearing flannel pj's and trying to sleep on a flannel sheet would be like being velcro'd to the mattress. I flop around too much. I'd pull a muscle!

Actually the Land's End ones don't do that. Believe me...I've researched and gone through a lot of flannel sheets in my time.

No problem if you wear no PJs!
