Indi, I can't see the moon as it is raining hard here. So thankful it is supposed to be a clear, sunny day tomorrow when I have to drive to dsil. What am I missing?
Cowinkie, last year we only put up our tree & a handful of decorations. I just wasn't up for it after all the chaos/packing/unpacking due to the kitchen remodel. This year I looked forward to decorating & really enjoyed it. Wonder if
Lilac is doing any decorating this year what with packing & moving to her new home this month.
Harmony, you had asked about the grates I cleaned with ammonia -- they are the ones on top of the stove that you place pots on. But as
OKay mentioned, you can do the racks on the inside of the oven the same way, you just need a large garbage bag that you can tie shut. (I haven't put anything on the good-as-new, shiny grate all day
. Don't want anything to boil over on it the first day it's clean
)
Sorry your dh needs to have surgery on his hand,
MT. I've been reading your blog & it is so nice to read about your new home & how you are settling in & decorating.

Hope the mistake is an easy fix tomorrow,
Elizabeth.
Spent several hours in the kitchen tonight baking cookies, making casserole for dinner with the kids tomorrow, making soup & freezing almost a dozen containers. It always feels good to have chicken soup in the freezer for the winter --never know when a cold or flu bug will strike. Got suddenly very tired halfway through cookie baking but I didn't want to wake up to a dirty kitchen so cleaned everything up. Argued with myself the whole time to just leave the mess & go sit & put my feet up
. Large stockpot is soaking in hot, sudsy water & dishwasher is running now.
Can't remember what else I was going to say & topic review won't go back any farther
. As always I talk to you all in my head as I read
.
Sweet dreams, everyone.
