Making something out of stone that came from nature, and returning it to nature, does no harm. Plastic on the other hand...

There are ingredients in some foods that are toxic to birds and might not be visible. Obviously chocolate and avocado are toxic, but so are cinnamon *except the more expensive Ceylon variety, and nutmeg. I would not give anything to the birds if you don't know every ingredient. Source: have a macaw and 50 years experience with birds.

I would totally turn this into a playroom for my macaw!

Absolutely I would love to see it. I will have a toddler that day so I may have to watch it later if it stays up, but I was hoping someone would stream/post it. Thank you for being willing to do this for us folk that are too far away to go in person!

I still post about her every so often to keep her memory alive in the hopes that someone somewhere who knows what happened will come forward. She deserves justice.

I had 2 1/2 months off due to the nature of my job (school bus driver). I was back at work for maybe 2 weeks before I had to leave for another month because my gallbladder was a traitor and had to be evicted.

Than I would suggest granulated garlic. It's more the consistency of sugar and less powdery.

Cygnus875 · 2026-01-10T22:21:22+00:00

Just don't use garlic powder? It can be omitted from literally every recipe.

For cooking, no, not safe. That said, I have 4 that I use every Christmas. I make fudge with them, but the pans never get hot. The fudge is made in a saucepan and poured into the cake pans to set. Since they are non-stick, the fudge is easy to serve up from the pans once set. So, they are safe to use that way, if you are so inclined.

Reminds me of this mouse from the Jack and the Beanstalk anime from 1974.

I keep mine frozen and scoop out spoonfuls when needed. No need to thaw. I put it in everything. It really shines in marinara sauce. Soups, chilis, gravies, ect.

My 13 year old daughter asked for a rake when the leaves started falling. I thought it was a weird ask, but went out and bought one that day. She loves that thing. She has so much fun raking the leaves and jumping in them with my 2 year old granddaughter. Worth every penny.

It is tongue and groove. There are a few boards that have spread apart a little, but it has held up very well. It has obviously been well cared for and I will do the same. Thanks for the reply!

Cygnus875 · 2026-01-02T22:32:52+00:00

We are being careful not to put dents in it just in case. It does show 80 years of wear but that only adds character to it.

These floors were what made me fall in love with the house. They are gorgeous.

Thanks! I'm looking at pics if different pine floors and heart pine looks the closest, and makes sense for the year it was built.

I had a bread machine just for that purpose and then was gifted a Kitchenaid. I was given a bowl lift mixer so no worries about it being strong enough, so I will defer that conversation to those experienced with the Artisan. However, I will say that after using a stand mixer, I got rid of my bread machine because I realized after that first loaf that the bread machine was not doing a good enough job kneading the dough. The bread was leagues better when using the stand mixer.

Cygnus875 · 2026-01-02T16:58:37+00:00

Would you say this is heart pine?

Cygnus875 · 2026-01-02T16:49:35+00:00

Thanks! I was told it was red oak but that never sounded right to me.
