Vince loves biscuits and sausage gravy. I don't think I had ever eaten those together until I met him. I had seen them and seen other people eat them but that's not something my family liked. I'm learning to like it but I usually eat the gravy on top of my eggs and have my biscuits with butter and jelly. I try to make biscuits with sausage and gravy often enough but since it isn't something I ...
Freeze Dried Potatoes
Lately I've seen more and more freeze drying folks talking about potatoes. I think I remember that once I tried freeze drying hash browns - grated potatoes, but they pretty much crumbled and by the time they got rehydrated, they became pretty gummy. The folks I've seen lately were freeze drying small cubes of potatoes. This may work with dehydrating too - I don't know but it's probably worth a ...
The Compost Setup
This has been a long time coming. In this post back in March, I shared the set up for the new compost bin. My plan was to have the lower tub have drain holes and several bricks for the middle tub to sit on. The middle tub would also have drain holes.

Not true but it made me laugh. ...

Debbie always has new things to show me - something she has seen on Instagram or flosstube that she shares with me. Yesterday she was showing me an Instagram post (is that what you call them?) or a floss tube where someone had ...
More USPS Package Routes
I'm not complaining. I think this is sad but funny. Here are some recent examples of packages headed here: The one above went from Kansas City to Springfield to Kansas City to Springfield. Still has not arrived here. I don't even remember where this package was coming from but it went to St. Louis, which isn't unusual if packages are coming from the eastern side of the U.S. Usually ...
