I've been buying dehydrated minced onion from Whole Foods for my recipes that call for onion, with pretty good results. I use it in the Ostrich Helper, for instance.

Speaking of cats, Chumley just jumped up on the sofa and knocked over a cup -- luckily it only had a little water in it, and the splash didn't reach the laptop which was in my lap. Chumley is a cat of far more heart than sense.

ita, go forth and rock the krav (bah) .

Won't cat toys from another home smell like the other cats? Maybe only my Oz is bothered by sucjh things.

Still no heat.

They will smell of Other Cats but mine don't seem to ever care. They don't even care when I come home from my parent's and smell of Dog.

MT HEAT IS ON!!!

now to see if it stays on long enough to warm the house.

Yay, heat!

I've caught up a bit with LJ and here, and eaten breakfast, and gotten dressed so I'm declaring the morning a mixed success....

Heat good.

Also your post made me realize it was chilly (55) in here again. Rassenfrassen pilot went out. AGAIN! Gas Co. was here Tues to fix and light it. I had to relight it several hours ago and just now it went out after I had it relit the first time. Looks like I am calling the Gas Co again... ::sigh:: Where's my spork?

Heat is good.

Good luck with the testing, ita!

I haev loads one and two in the wash, and I think I'm going for a long walk before 3 & 4 make it in there.

I bought a new kind of organic instant oatmeal, and it's too sweet! I swear, Quaker Oats is less sweet. Blargh!

I am gonna be late to church, but my brother is skipping so that is ok.

The heat seems to have already cycled off. The bedroom didn't even get to 65.

Wow. Bush got old.

I'm watching Bob Schieffert's interview with him and while he's as stammery and blinky as usual he seems to be actually answering questions. And he looks old. I'm interested to see what he says about the spying.
