I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

I can eat approximately 2 bites of ice cream without severe intestinal distress, so y'all can't taunt me at all!

Scraping at the banister, I think the dark layer is a dark varnish, but not stain, and it is the bottom layer. This is excellent news. Means when I strip, I'll probably get down to minimally paintstained wood, so I can go about staining the rail and main posts, and stick with white for the wickets or whatever they are called. I'll go with a dark honey that matches the inlay (and blinds from IKEA!) [link] [link]

This is what I have to strip: [link] Main posts at top and bottom will be a challenge with all those edges. Luckily, I like picking at things.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I want to try a frozen lemon custard recipe. I used to get frozen lemon custard with my dad at a local ice cream shop and it closed years ago. I can never find it anymore.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Nora, have y'all been to Brocato's yet for lemon ice?

I have been very happy with this ice cream book: [link]

For a couple of summers I was making a small batch or two every few weeks, after a while you can just experiment without following a strict recipe. I made some yum carrot and honey ice cream and I think I made several versions of cinnamon.

My mom got this thing that makes a bowl of ice cream at a time (you freeze the bowls) which is just about right for the amount of it she wants to make. It came with 2 bowls.

just bought new Lithium batteries for the Smoke/CO detectors and one is beeping. It is the replace unit beep. I got these less than 2 years ago. Guess I'll be sending that back to the manufacturer for a replacement. Like I need this ankle-biting crap this week.

Be sure to give them the new return address or have postal forwarding set up if using USPS.

Gah, went out to water the plants. Broke a sweat, and it wasn't from exertion.

I am doing mail forwarding this week. I may have them send the replacement to my realtor who lives upstairs.

5 of my 15 auctions are selling. Whoot!

Oh, that's convenient!

So tomorrow after I swim, eat and shoot the cat, I guess I need to head to the hardware store, huh?
