Whoa! I don't know what to say. Thanks.

Where have I heard of this before? Was it mentioned on that FoodTV show, Unwrapped? I think that's what it was called.

My baby's eight years old. I can't even imagine.

Advanced happy birthday celebration!

I've not drank soda regularly since I was 8 or 9 years old. Or maybe 10 or 11? Anyway, I switched to iced tea at some point. But did you see the Jones flavors available last year? They ended up in the sale section of Target. Maybe you can guess why? They included cranberry, turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes and a couple of other Thanksgiving Dinner flavors.

Ugh. I'm not much of a fast food fan. However, and you should be able to back me up on this, In-N-Out takeout is considerably tastier than it looks. And that's really the point, isn't it?

Lord bless you on your trip! And may He bless many through you. I hope the packing goes well and the travel, too.

Wow! It's huge. What are those black spots all over it?

Re: Pickle production

Phisch — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 23:13:50 -0000

I wonder, do refrigerator pickles get anything like the sort of cukes they serve at Japanese restaurants? Those are crispy and taste like they simply soak them in water and sea salt. I never bothered to research how it's done because they do have some raw taste and my other half loathes raw cucumbers.

Re: Kid nation

Phisch — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 00:02:43 -0000

I thought "Lord of the Flies" too. I saw the show intro and if we get TV I may consider watching it. Mostly because I am curious about how kids think nowadays vs. when I was a kid. Back then, we worried about different things than kids today are concerned with so I wonder how that will affect their behavior.

But after having seen the intro, I'm a little optimistic. I didn't get the impression that anyone was going to be intentionally embarrassed or put down. I get the idea, instead, that they're going for the whole "there's hope for the future generation!" angle.

Wow! Where can I get one of those?

Re: Oat update

Phisch — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 21:55:57 -0000

Yum! I had a recipe with apples in it. It only made enough for two though. That's ok...there are only two people in this family who will eat it. Only one by choice (me).

Re: Ice cream

Phisch — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 08:20:11 -0000

You might find it takes a lot less time for the liner to refreeze. Our Krups (may it RIP) could be used after a few hours. Or maybe our freezer was too cold?

He annoyed me with Oxyclean. I love Tivo. No more Billy Mays, no more hawking of any sort.

Oh. I shouldn't have looked!

Re: Starter disc

Phisch — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:07:21 -0000

You'll have to post about how you are liking it. We have a big course in the sports center near our home but it's set up among trees and criss-crossed by hike/bike trails. The players are kind enough to wait until you're well away from them before tossing which is nice.

Re: Do you serve crabs? Sit down, we serve anybody.

Phisch — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 20:45:49 -0000

Whole crabs cooked with slices of onions in coconut milk. Unbeatable! My grandma used to cook tiny crabs that we would eat whole (shell, legs, all parts) with fish sauce over rice. I'm getting warm fuzzies!

Re: Windfall

I probably would have clarified to her that you thought it was $20 per prescription. If she still said yes, then you did clarify and that is that.

LOL...I remember the episode with the speedboat!

Sounds like The Red Violin.

Re: Soapmaking recap

Phisch — Thu, 29 May 2008 16:16:08 -0000

I knew I came to the right blog :)

I was hoping to get a chance to try soap making since we are on a preservative- and artificial stuff-free diet. We have to watch what comes in contact with skin also, and I was thinking it would be nice to try and make our own olive oil soap (the Kiss My Face version is $2 for 8 oz. and I thought we could do better).

Where do you find good recipes? Most online ones seem to be from stores selling you their kits.

Re: A taste of heaven

Coincidentally, I had tomato pie tonight when we went out to eat. I loved it! For some reason, I thought the tomatoes would be green. The crust had basil in it and I could tell it was made with oil. It was topped with feta and kalamata olive slices. Very good stuff!

Re: Freezer envy

Did you see the one Alton Brown had in his premium ice cream episode? That's about $60 at Bed, Bath and Beyond if you have a 20% off coupon. They have the smaller version, too, at BB&B. Maybe try online? Or Amazon?

Mr. Linderman! Hehe...shows you where I'm coming from. And I have *no* earthly idea who Marty Stuart is. That is sad.

Re: Can you hear me now?

Phisch — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:33:46 -0000

I'll need to go see what you mean by list-based interface. My old WP blog showed the left column first (all the links) then the main content. When I looked at my new one on my hubby's Blackberry, I was happy to see it showed content first bec. of the way the columns are laid out. I suspect you mean something different, though?

Re: It was DAK

Phisch — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:51:01 -0000

The one I had to give away was a Welbilt which was made by DAK. I found a generous person online who had a "ministry", for lack of a better word, of making copies of this machine's manual and emailing them to people. It was a great machine, a 2.5 lb. one. I got it via Freecycle and it was hardly used. I miss it! I might head to Walmart if you think your Sunbeam is a good machine.

But can you turn off javascripts? I like to be able to turn ads off.

How was it? It looks really good!

Re: Gotham Knight

Thanks...I wasn't aware of this. I'll add it to our Netflix queue

(you'd be surprised to see what's on CN and other "kid" channels, then)

Re: I left my recipe in San Francisco

Phisch — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:04:18 -0000

Thanks for the mention. We have kept away from most boxed/prepped food so subs like this are a huge help. I have some home-made broth but also keep a tetra pack or two of chicken broth on hand. We can use Imagine or Central Market (local TX brand) because they're free of preservatives and artificial stuff.

Re: Sweet potato fries

Phisch — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:56:51 -0000

I love cumin! My dad used to make curry (not spicy) and we'd load it up with cumin. I read recently that it's a very healthy spice so it's good to have a lot of it :)

We just had sweet potato fries but they were out of a bag from the frozen food aisle. They were great and I didn't really feel the need for a dip but I wish I'd read about the avocado dip. That sounds really good!

Re: Spoke too soon

Phisch — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 09:07:19 -0000

We had issues when we had to buy a new DVR also. If it's any consolation, they did get resolved and they're very helpful about it all. We've been running problem-free for a while.

Only thing is: you want to double check your to-do list now and then. Not a DirectTV problem, it's a problem with the programmers. They will now and then switch show times or run over/under and part of your show may not record. We had some random show record on Nickelodeon once when it should have been a Sponge Bob. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth! Not really, I just like to say that ;)

Re: I dreamed a dream

Phisch — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:52:01 -0000

Ok...I had to comment! First off, thanks for the link. The only version I'd seen didn't have the pre-performance interview. That made me cry ("never been kissed").

Second, while you don't feel at liberty to discuss things fully, you oughtn't give in to those "imafailure" taunts the enemy (yes, that old dog, ew!) is throwing at you. I've been keeping up with your blog. While it's possible you've manufactured this John Carney chap, I highly doubt it. You're published, have spent lots of time in missions, and are a child of God. Someone our Father thought worth dying for and working though. :) Lord bless you!

Re: Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble

Phisch — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:54:09 -0000

Nice! I never did try soap making. I know I can pay for unscented plain soap that would work for rebatching if I wanted to make it fancy so I think I'll do that one of these days rather than deal with lye which doesn't sound fun.

Yum! that sounds right up my alley!
