Home-Roasted Coffee
It's easy and fun in an air popcorn-popper. Do it outside with a bit of caution and you too can have lovely-jubbly fresh coffee. It really is worlds different than preroasted. I can get green coffee beans at my grocery store--Atlanta has been good to me in so many ways. For more info, click here.Anyhow though, the home-roasted coffee is making me * ( Read more... ) -
Help me with a game title.
Okay, Jason and I used to have this game. It was a board adventure sort of game. You drew a card that represented the ending and put it in the middle of the board. There were three layers to play through to get to the ending. You drew little cards to see what kind of character you were (fighter, priest, etc.). You rolled dice to go around the outer ( Read more... ) -

It's in keeping with my boozy present theme: I got him 15-year old Macallan scotch for a wedding present. I ( Read more... ) -
Any suggestions on improving my immunity?
So, my immune system's obviously hurting right now. I've essentially had two colds that have spanned three weeks' time. This last bout is from Iowa... all, and I mean all, of my close relatives have it... sister, brother-in-law, neice and nephew, mom and dad, grandfather, etc ( Read more... ) -
Flax for spinning
I had a friend who gave me quite a bit of flax fiber to spin. It's miserable work for a new spinner. It has to be damp when spun and spun counterclockwise. If you want it or if you know anyone who might, let me know and I'll mail it. Bleargh! I have enough trouble with wool. I also have a mix of hemp, flax and viscose (rayon) that you can have ( Read more... ) -
