I'm baking pie for a family cookout. I'm trying a new crust made with almond meal.

I know what you mean, Aimee! We keep them on the shelves, but they disappear there until one of us pulls them out, a few at a time, to look at them.

“Not dead yet!”

Ok - Emeline has A TON of larger, paperback picture books. How the hell do you store them? On a bookshelf sucks because you can't see what the title is.

How about a wall-mount rack, like for magazines? Then you can have them upright, but facing out and even staggered, so that you can see titles or covers more easily.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Our trip to the UK is finally coming together! After sending out about 500 e-mails, I was able to save us about $600 over what the travel agent found for us for hotels. This means one more night staying with a friend and the shifting of a couple hotels. We finally gave up on the idea that we could see EVERYTHING in 2 weeks. We aren't going to make it to Highgate Cemetery or to York, but we are going to see Buffistas (what trip would be complete without Buffistas?), a good friend from high school, and lots of fun historic and author related places.

Burrell, I didn't think I did, but apparently money and a hubby that is staring at me worriedly about money are good motivators. More money to spend on food, tea, and pretty souvenirs.

We also have breakfast included in the price of each hotel, which I have found to be a big money and time saver. You're not spending all morning looking for food, and if you eat well in the morning it's easier to go cheap at lunch.
