I’m a farm girl. Lived in the city in my 20s and 30s. By the time my 40s rolled around I was just done with the whole thing. Moved to the east side 2003 and never looked back. Now I’m looking for rural property and we are considering moving out of state. Fixing the homeless problem is...

@Misschief Thank you! That’s very encouraging. I’m not a chemist either. But I am a darn good baker who is becoming a better than adequate soaper! All good things with time and practice I suppose. I had a SCM subscription but canceled it. Just not enough free time. I’ll likely one day finish...

@Tammyfarms thank you. I’ve been following Humblebee for ages. Sort of meaning to dive in, but have too many irons in the fire currently. The one thing I keep think I’ll try (when I get around to it) is making my own hyuralonic acid. I think I need a small electric whisk too.

I’m absolutely comfortable with baking! Hmmm I hadn’t thought of it that way before. I have all the tools…

@akseattle 100% agree. Seattle can be fair weather fans. I’m actually a Mariners fan and I’ve stuck by them. Seahawks have a good following. I don’t live in Seattle anymore. Too dirty and crowded. The homeless make it unsafe and unpleasant. But I’ll drive in for a Ms game every other month or...

Just wanted to tip my hat to all of you who dabble in chemicals. I haven't yet had the nerve...or the time, I suppose, to go down that rabbit hole! 🐰 I kind of like my simple recipes and they work for me. But still, I see you all posting things that are so fabulous and interesting. Anyway...

I made my favorite vanilla whipped body butter! I make an infusion with jojoba oil, vanilla beans, and tonka bean C02, warming it on the stove in a double boiler. Allow to sit for weeks (or months if I don’t go through the whole batch right away. Then I melt shea, kokum, and mango butter with...

@Misschief they went to Oklahoma City and are now called the Oklahoma City Thunder. Seattle retained rights to the name and colors in case we ever get a basketball team again.

@ewhitake Absolutely vile, especially considering how many gazillionaires we begged to help us keep our team here! I'm not usually a grudge-holding sort, but I do hold a grudge for the likes of Paul Allen, Bill Gates, et al. We loved our Seattle SuperSonics. The mid-90s seasons were...

@paradisi Oh, okay, I follow you now! Yeah, they have a LOT of nerve! PS. Yes, I'm still upset about the Sonics. 🤣

@paradisi That is Squatch, used to be the Seattle SuperSonics mascot. That’s my point! Nobody ever called Sasquatch “Squatch” until the Seattle SuperSonics did. So Dr. Squatch 100% ripped off the Sonics. We all used to love Squatch! He was a very popular mascot!

Who's the stealer now???

Oh! I was unaware. I’ll change my ways from here out. Thanks for sharing!

Since this thread is resurrected, I have a thought. Remember Squatch, the Seattle SuperSonics mascot? Yeah, so….hmmmmmm. Seems to me there are some fingers pointing back.

@akseattle Thank you! BTW - I got the strawberries at Carnation Farmers Market last Tuesday evening. Was hoping for peaches, apricots, and cucumbers, but it's a bit early in the season. I picked up the cucumbers last Friday at Yakima Fruit Stand on Bothell-Everett Hwy. I LOVE Farmers Markets!!

My grandma’s sweet pickles today. Love and miss her.

I made the best strawberry jam! The best berries make the best jam. We went to the local farmers market. I haven’t seen berries this nice since my grandpa’s farm. Miss him. Anyway, ta-daaaaa!

Stop, stop! You're killing me!! 🤣

Wow, you are so talented!!

"How about NO."
