Helpful Hints & Cooking Tips

I did get my onions out!  I broke one of my glass bowls, but I had extra so not a big deal.  I feel much better now that they are out.  The weather has been cool and rainy the past few days.  The highs over the rest of the week are only in the low 40's and the low's are in the low 20's!!!  Yes, the heat went on Monday night.  It is only set at 65 (for now) and even with the drizzly weather, that is toasty in here.  Need to remember to run my humidifier now at night. ...
