    Post DMX, watching fireworks, still tired....any seats?

    We're going to Disney next week for the first time since my surgery and I'm still regaining my strength. Really looking forward to seeing the fireworks at MK but wondering...is there anywhere I can sit while watching? I know my energy is going to be metered and I"ll be runnning on empty by the...

    Carnivore and other trendy diets

    I have three friends on the highly restrictive carnivore diet. Meat, eggs, hard cheese, & butter only. One has touted all the health changes she has seen, all for the better. The others have lost some weight. One was trying to convince me it was the way we were intended to eat, but I'm not...

    Any "Reacher" fans? Possible spoilers

    I really really enjoyed season 1, albeit there were a couple gruesome scenes I wish I could un-see. Season 2, I'm having to force myself to continue watching. Too much talk, not enough plot development or surprises. Not sure we'll keep up with it, but I agree that Alan R is doing a fantastic...

    SOURDOUGH! Calling all bakers!

    Well how exciting!! I love Brian Lagerstrom's beginner recipe for sourdough on youtube. The only thing I do different that he didn't do, is I ALWAYS put my dutch oven on top of another pan to prevent overbrowning. Also, I do 3-4 stretch and folds, not the 2 he calls for. I do what is called the...

    SOURDOUGH! Calling all bakers!

    Yes, I got mine from King Arthur, it was around ten bucks, came in a little jar with instructions on how to feed once it arrived. I liked it because it came from a 100 year old starter.

    SOURDOUGH! Calling all bakers!

    I haven't tried to make my own starter but getting one ready to go is a great way to start. Mine was from a 100-year old 'mother' starter and it's bubbly and so active every time I feed.

    SOURDOUGH! Calling all bakers!

    Right now I'm working on what jar I want to use. My first was too narrow. Then too small. Now I'm using a pickle jar which is great, but I'd love a straight wall weck jar. I do like to keep a decent amt of starter so I can share, and I keep a back up jar or two in a quart mason jar. Sharing a...

    SOURDOUGH! Calling all bakers!

    Starter fed with potato flakes makes potato bread. While utterly delicious and something I used to make, this is 100% different. This only has flour and water and wild yeast caught from the environment. It creates an amazing thing for the gut as my acid reflux has disappeared.

    SOURDOUGH! Calling all bakers!

    Some starter info: You can make your own 'wild yeast' starter at home,but it can take two weeks before it's ready to use. I spent ten bucks and ordered one from KA flour company. It came in a little jar and I fed it, per the instructions. People who bake constantly keep the jar of starter out...

    Are we all 'skinny challenged' compared to the world?

    OP here. I read an interesting article stating that physicians were uncomfortable bringing up a patient's weight. They were afraid to offend the patient. Well..to that I would say that I wish my doctor HAD had a talk with me. I remember going to see him and asking him what these odd little...

    Are we all 'skinny challenged' compared to the world?

    I've thought back to growing up in the 60s and 70s. Everyone's mamas and daddys were thin. Mama stayed home and did house chores. She didn't exercise, nor did Grandmama. They sewed and cooked and cleaned. No aerobics and pilates. But they were skinny. We ate honey buns and pound cake and ate...

    Are we all 'skinny challenged' compared to the world?

    We brought a couple of friends over from the UK for their first disney visit. We had a ball! However, on one day they were acting funny and we finally said "WHAT is it??" and they sheepishly asked why everyone was fat. :oops: I looked around and I guess the views were vastly different than how...

    How important is Alcohol?

    I've never heard someone give an acceptance speech and say "I owe it all to alcohol!" but I've seen felt the sting and the pain of what a DUI can do as it took away one of my most favorite loved ones. It has zero importance in my life. I'd much rather drink an iced tea with a splash of lemonade.

    Need a new washing machine! I've always wanted a Speed Queen but . . .

    Not sure the hassle of finding one. you just go to the site, see who carries them closest to you, research which one you want, call and order it. I went through two non-Speed Queen washers and finally called a repairman. "Who do you recommend?" Speed Queen. I researched the brand and ordered...

    Hallmark Movies ❤️ comfort & joy

    We've been watching a hallmark movie about every other night. My husband is actually watching them with me. We saw the Biltmore one last night. I'm a tad bit haunted by it today, trying to figure out why. I have always loved time travel movies and the implications that could happen. I did enjoy...

    @#1hoosierfan so sorry that happened!! My friend had the tummy fat surgery when she had BC. It was a long surgery but her's was done at the same time as the mastectomy.
