Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You're probably right, Sparky. Our regular vet just said that at one time, "California" was the only place that did them.
I think Hubs has a genetic predisposition to go the extra mile for pets. His niece found out that her daschund might have a heart condition requiring several expensive vet visits a year. So she started making arrangements with a teaching vet hospital several hours' drive away, where she could afford the visits.
I'm not sure what my excuse is.
I seem to have done a smart food thing. I bought a bunch of asparagus sometime last week on impulse, and promptly forgot about it languishing in my crisper. I noticed yesterday that they had gone all limp, but instead of just chucking them out I decided to soak them in cold water for a while. It worked, they're all crisp and fresh-seeming again.
That looks like the 30 largest metro areas sorted by housing price. And HORRIBLY captioned.

But it's not in order of housing price. It defies belief (my belief, anyway) that incomes are so much higher in SF than New York or LA that $765k is more affordable than half a mil.
You're quite right - I both skimmed the list and misread the question (as something more like "why are some of these cities included on this list of so-called affordable places" rather than "why is this presented this way"). D'oh!
Speaking of making veggies last longer, does anyone know if I can boil russet potatoes, chop them up, and then freeze them for a bit? I bought a 10-lb. bag last Friday, and know that I'll never get through them before they go bad.
I think once they are cooked they freeze just fine. It's if you freeze them raw that they get mushy. Parboiling might even be enough.

I think your excuse is named Teddy. I know that for me, animals are pretty much part of the family, so the surprise isn't that you're willing to do this, but that the program exists!
My sick is in my stomach and it makes me very sad. I'm hungry, dammit.

I think I would freeze them without boiling. You can always boil later, no? My sous-kitchen stuff had raw potatoes and they seemed to hold up fine. But they were then slow-cooked for chili verde so I eventually wanted them mushy.
