After installing a dishwasher, we decided to install a new faucet in our prep sink as well. Which sounds like there was one before. There wasn’t. It went bad about 2 months ago, we just hadn’t replaced it yet. Of
November Tomatoes!
While I can’t say much for the rest of the garden (other than the eggplants), I seem to have had pretty good luck growing second season tomatoes this year. The broccoli and cauliflower are growing well, but not producing, and
Installation Complete!
One 34.25” dishwasher successfully installed in a (previously) 34 inch hole. After we took the feet and the wheels off the dishwasher, I did some trimming on the lip of our (already pretty much trashed) countertop to allow the dishwasher
Not Quite As Described
Dishwashers really only come in one size. 34 inches tall, etc. The hole in our cabinets is 34 inches tall. The dishwasher door is 33.875 inches tall. This is good. The dishwasher body, with rubber insulation, is 34.25 inches tall

This is an internet recipe, but I have no idea where it’s from anymore. Regardless, it’s delicious, and you can use either bourbon or blackstrap rum to make this pie (both are delicious). Obviously you’ll need a gluten free pie
Board Games
Confession time. I don’t really like board games. Or card games either, for that matter. Or really, “games” in general. Not even Charades. Or Dominos. I didn’t much like them as a kid, and I still don’t much like them
Gluten Free Thanksgiving: Drunken Rum Carrots
Ok, so this is basically a stolen recipe from The Pioneer Woman. She posted a recipe for Whiskey Glazed Carrots last year, and I HAD to make them. Except that I didn’t at the time have any whiskey (and now
