How can I get out of bed when a cat is curled up on my chest? Oh well.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

In Good Eats I believe Alton Brown said to dispose of the beans after blind baking. I don't remember why, though.

I don't know if I'm remembering correctly, but I think Mary Berry of Grea6t British Bake Off reuses her blind baking beans for blind baking.

Thank you, Aurelia. Yes - so sad.
I am going to be winding yarn this afternoon.
I have lost the hat I made in the Fall and have not yet found the other two hats I have made and alas - cold weather is not over.

Interesting. My great-grandmother was from Cork and the peolple I asked about the word were on the Aran Islands so it may be a micro-regional term.
