    2025 Hurricane and Tropical Weather

    I'm glad the storm is expected to make a right turn and not make landfall, but I realize things can change. We are in central NC, which got slammed by Chantal in early July. Chantal was a tropical depression by the time it got to this area but it moved slowly and dumped a lot of rain that caused...

    Thanks for your helpful comments! I'm waiting for the weather to turn cooler before baking, but I'll let you all know how the pumpkin spice bread--or muffins--turn out.

    Ah! Perhaps I will reconsider my additions and just try the mix as-is.

    I bought a box of Great Value Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread and Muffin mix at Walmart earlier this week. I haven't used it yet and was wondering if any of you have used it or a similar mix. It calls for combining the mix with 2/3 C water, 2 eggs, and 1/2 C vegetable oil. The mix contains "dried...

    Oh darn, I was looking forward to the peach cobbler! But the brownie sundaes sound good too. :D

    The menu sounds wonderful! We plan to eat out with some friends on Sunday evening but we haven't decided where to go yet. Enjoy your weekend!

    Food and Recipes while under Coronavirus quarantine #8

    In the distant past I made Indian Pudding with molasses and it was delicious. The recipe I used made a large amount of the pudding, and I don't remember if I ever made it again. I doubt if I still have the recipe. It may have been similar to this one...

    I have never had a pumpkin spice latte and prefer not to have other flavorings in coffee. ;) We mostly buy Peet's Major Dickason's Blend ground decaf coffee, and I just realized I can order it in a six-pack from Costco and save money!

    I remember using at least one of those shoe fitting fluoroscope machines when I was young. It was interesting to see how your feet looked in new shoes.

    Thanks for the reply to my post. :) I'm not surprised that you've been having stress and frustration. I hope the new drops continue to control the pressure in both eyes and you won't have to have surgery. We had new under-cabinet LED lights installed in our kitchen and they are great. You're...

    Bette, I'm sorry to hear about your worsening vision. I have a close friend who has vision loss due to wet macular degeneration. Perhaps you have something like that. She is still able to travel with her husband. I hope you can still go on cruises.

    2025 Hurricane and Tropical Weather

    Our internet is out but don’t know why. Hope they get it fixed soon. The river closest to us (Haw) reached its second highest flood stage but no flooding in our area. In Chapel Hill and Durham, Chantal dumped so much rain that there has been bad flooding. Evacuations, water rescues, and a...

    2025 Hurricane and Tropical Weather

    We are continuing to get very heavy rain. It's so noisy on our skylights that it's hard to hear each other! We're also getting loud, booming thunder and lightning. Power flickered at one point but didn't go out. Hey, Chantal: Enough already! Go away!
