Renai Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 He even wears pants every day. You might have some competition there. He doesn't cook though. Or fold... someday... I didn't teach my oldest daughter to cook on the stove until about 7. It was still with me though. There is a lot of food prep that can be done with kids though that doesn't require cooking when younger. I teach folding shirts at age 2. It keeps them busy when at the laundromat. Oldest enjoyed folding dad's shirts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't believe you taught such young children to fold. I didn't say it was perfect; I said it kept her busy. But, she did get pretty good at it. They resembled folded shirts. :D I taught a simple way to fold, definitely not Konmari. It took a lot of soul searching to allow my girls in the kitchen with me. I can be fanatical about my cooking and baking. I finally just let go, and allowed oldest in the kitchen, and bit my tongue. I'm glad I did. By age 11, when I had her sister, she was the one making me breakfasts and lunches for me. She also now makes her own recipes and isn't afraid to experiment. I do some guidance with her experiments - usually in asking pointed questions (about cost...etc.) - but she is a pretty good cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt's willing to go through the steps to keep him safe. I'd rather just kick him out. I suppose I could give him jobs at the table. But then she'd be jealous.

Critterfixer Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Got 2,000+ words and successfully trapped my protagonist into sticking around for the novel. He's quite good at weaseling. Up to over 14,000 words now. I went shopping with the boys for kitty paraphernalia. Came home with a cute scratching thing, fish-bone bowls, a kitty bathroom box, catnip mice, a ball that lights up when kitty rolls it and a feather toy that we just had to have. And litter, of course. Kitty and specialized scientific kitty food coming home tomorrow. And a toothbrush. I am determined to teach this kitten to tolerate the daily brushing of her teeth. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 if you explain what a DOI number is and how to find it, I'll try. I had to look it up. It means Digital Object Identifier, and basically it is a number that leads to a specific URL for a journal article. The school told us to use CrossRef.org, and I just plug in a citation and it pops up within the first few results, usually. Except these two. You know what? Forget it. I'm going to do a Retrieved From reference for these two. Ain't nobody got time for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Go, Ducklings, Go! Good morning all. Quackers, are peanut butter cookies an option? This is the best recipe in existence. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/11352/three-ingredient-peanut-butter-cookies/?internalSource=recipe%20hub&referringId=852&referringContentType=recipe%20hub (((Tsuga))) Lynn, we're having sour cream chicken. Place chicken boobies in a Pyrex, mix equal parts sour cream and cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken), cover the chicken with the goop. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes depending on chicken booby thickness. Make mashatatoes or rice and something green. Lay chicken over rice/tatoes and cover in goop. The lemonade is working for reasons I fail to truly understand. These cookies are not soft, but *everybody* loves them. Rice Krispy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 stick butter 1 stick margarine Soften ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup white sugar 1 ¼ cup flour Tsp baking soda Tsp baking powder Tsp vanilla Mix it 1 beaten egg Mix it 2 cups oatmeal 2 cups rice crispies ½ bag chocolate chips Mix it all Bake @ 325 for 12 minutes There's a lot of 'ands' and 'ifs' for this to come together, Quackers. I'll pray for you. Thanks for the recipes AND the prayers. Y'all are the bestest. I couldn't use Slache's pb cookies (allergies) but can't wait to try them for myself. And the rice krispy ones too....those look amazing! Baking 101 went scrumptiously. Well, one tray inexplicably burned, but I had plenty of extra to make up for it. Girls had a fun time, things remained relatively organized (always a key when little girls are up waaaay past their bedtimes) and at the end of 1.5 hours we had 12 dozen cookies, washed dishes, a cleaned kitchen, and time enough to taste the goods that will be donated to a charity on Thanksgiving. I came home, collapsed into bed, and really couldn't function until noon today. I'm such an introverted wimp. :lol: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I am home. Thanks to ds20, I had to unhook a car trailer from the truck before I could leave since he took the van to the work emergency. I have never unhooked this type of trailer before and it took me 20 minutes to figure it out and get it done. Then when he called me and I told him, he said he couldn't believe it, and he was proud of me. Well, I am proud of me too. That sucked. I was determined though. I was not going to give up and wait for some man to do it. I.done.it. Elephant ninjas hear me roar.:D Oh, and the quick meeting after practice took an hour. Ugh. I am tired and hungry. I'm going to eat roast now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 No one has even solved the Mystery of the Pantry Moths that are Found Everywhere, Except the Pantry. Wait, I did find a few in there yesterday. This is after vacuuming and cleaning it out. But the majority of them are everywhere else. They probably hatched from their cocoons somewhere, not necessarily related to the pantry. Especially if they seem to be "swarming" all at once. Ugh. I had a traumatic experience once.

The extension on the vacuum isn't even long enough so we stand in a chair holding the vac extension while another person holds the vac up.

And faster still several more plops. Then hundreds of pantry moth larvae falling from the wooden beam in the ceiling, all over my cereal and my milk and my kitchen table and my floor. Horrors.
