Oh! I still do not own a smart phone, nor have ever had one (did not buy a laptop until 2010), but I did get a tablet recently, and BF loaned me her hot spot....this is fun!!!! Doing computery things at the restaurant table.

Meara, go visit Sayulita!

That sounds so fun, Java! Dessert is clearly your best option.

FTR, Trader Joe's Bacon Cheddar is just about as delicious as it sounds. Nom.

You can freeze egg whites?!

You can! It's the yolks that are problematic. Or so my intense googling has assured me. I haven't tried, say, making a souffle with the frozen egg whites (mostly because I have a constant influx of fresh eggs that need eating up) but for random emulsifying, at least, they seem fine. I froze mine each egg white in its own ice cube, um, compartment? Little box in the ice cube tray. You know. It's pretty convenient if I had more uses for egg whites.

Allegedly you can freeze whole eggs to be used as ingredients if you mix in some salt or sugar (I believe there is a suggested amount per egg but I don't remember what it is) but I haven't tried that.

I have no idea what might be prevalent in mainstream erotica. but good luck, Amy!

I had that thought, too, Burrell. I think I might have even seen furniture like that? Steamer trunk sort of thing with drawers that lift out, anyway, if not the sliding kind.

Growing up Missouri, I heard "dresser" and "chest of drawers" interchangeably around the house, but I guess I SAY "dresser."

I was not that crazy about it! I mean, I liked it, but I guess I'd just as soon get smoked gouda or whatever in the future, and stick to my super sharp crumbly cheddars.

Anyone want to be my neighbor? [link] (Looking through through the lattice on the deck is the back of my house/deck.)

I really like what they've done with the space. I'll miss them, though. We mostly interacted doing yard/shoveling/leaves together. Kept the alley ship-shape. (lisah, believe Emily works with you.) I was surprised to see the sign go up, must get the scuttlebutt.

That's a really cute place, sara!

Wait, what? There's a new one already?

New as in came out earlier this week? (The last one came out a year ago, but I just read it a few months ago) Yeah. Half-Off Ragnarok.

Oooh. Off to the library I go!

I never used or heard bureau, know of and rarely use chest of drawers, use dresser because it easy to say. A highboy is on feet. A lowboy is not--or half the height of a highboy. Antiques Roadshow is educational!

I am not crazy about smoked gouda, so I guess it all works out.

There is so much I love about that house! Not to mention having sara as a neighbor and the delightful neighborhood it's in. And that price is making me wistful.

The price is great. And I love the kitchen and the bath. And the porch! I have house lust.
