^ I recall running speaker wire from the back of an old B+W to get uhf channels, or a coat hanger.

I do believe that I enjoy cooking more than baking. Baking seems more like a hassle to do than with cooking.

I gave up both years ago, & now I just eat raw hot dogs...

Coooooooool!

My husband recently bought a worse for wear 180-year-old house (at least 180 years old) in a nearby state so he can restore it and sell it, and my daughter and I and a few others are going there Halloween evening into the early night to see if we encounter ghosts.

We have EMF readers (well, ok digital recorders), some fairly effective heat detectors, digital cameras, and of course, our own fine-tuned senses.    

Oh, and at least six people have died in the house, maybe more, it has an old well with a stone lip around it, there's no electricity on-site (because of copper thieves likely to be none for a while), and there are the foundations of several outbuildings on the property, one of which was almost certainly an Antebellum slave cabin.

Also, since it is above the river on a bluff and when the garden gets plowed stone artifacts such as spear points have turned up there, it might even be said to be on the grounds of---wait for it---"an aNciEnT INdIanN buUiaL grOuNd." I mean who knows?

And in la piece de resistance, in the natural stone basement/cellar, there is a bunch of old '80s looking heavy metal stuff with upside down crosses and pentagrams painted on the walls along with 666 and some lurid sentiments about....well, "stuff."

Man, this place. Should be fun!

I'll let you guys know on All Saints' Day how it went.

That sounds so fun! If you don't find anything, I think it's only fair that you summon something so the future owners aren't disappointed.

BTW tell me when it's for sale :).

As a chef of my acquaintance told me years ago, "Cooking is art; baking is rocket science."

It was only about 5 years ago that I discovered that people made a distinction between cooking and baking. I never did, and I guess I still don't. Is making a meatloaf in the oven cooking or baking?

I'd say it's cooking. Baking, to me, is more akin to pastry/sweets than meat/dinner. Quiche is I would say is both baking and cooking.

I thought baking was oven work and cooking was stovetop/grill work? I'm a better baker if baking is considered preparing raw ingredients from a recipe and throwing it in the oven until its done. It seems way easier to me than cooking.  Plus there's time to clean up while it's baking.

Cooking to me is that thing you do with food that requires close contact with heat while constantly watching, stirring, adjusting and hovering over it until its done. Then no one cleans anything for hours because it's all too hot.

Stub your toe REAL HARD, and you'll barely notice. That's one to grow on!

If my rough estimation is correct, Michael Myers would be a pensioner by now.

I am getting a free upgrade to an IPhone 15 for a strange reason. My nephew sells phones, and if he sells one more this month he gets a huge bonus--more than the cost of a new phone. So he offered to buy me one so he could qualify for the bonus and reimburse me for the entire cost of the phone himself. Pretty cool.

I am thinking about getting some black and white tattoos done on my upper back.

When someone is upset I can let them colour them in.

Everyone needs a shoulder to crayon now and again.
