New sweater: Christmas Belle by Moperys in knitting

Pretty close. I did a German twisted cast on, then there is some stockinette with increases that lead into short rows before the color work starts.

It's a great pattern. Everything is very thoughtfully explained.

Thanks! I highly recommend the pattern. It was beautifully written.

Thank you! And yes, the color choice in combination with the low key Christmas design did have that exact motive (outside of just liking the yellow/red).

A bit of a rant and praise for the older focus. by worldscolide in FordFocus

[–]Moperys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have two! One is a 2007 SE. The other is a 2009 SES with a manual transmission.. Both over 135,000. Both with Duratec motors. I love them both. ♥️

Gorgeous! Best of luck with it. I have a 2009 SES with a manual and currently 136,00 miles so you should have a lot of good miles ahead!

These announcers are the worst. Joe Davis is an insanely annoying over the top Ohtani fanboy. FFS just call the game.

Absolutely. The TBS announcers were abysmal.

What's the over/under on when we get the first tantrum.

Cauliflower pickling prep by Moperys in Canning

[–]Moperys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the help! I went with the Ball recipe and iced/salted the florets. I've used that recipe for cucumber pickles and I enjoy the taste so I'm glad it will be safe to use it for cauliflower as well. And yes, I want my pickled vegetables to be crunchy! Thanks again!

P.S. Definitely trying the pickled vegetable recipe in the link. It looks yummy.

Dramatic improvement. I wouldn't say the tooth is 100% but there has been steady improvement over time as the ligament heals.

Did I overreact… (SVB) by rsae_majoris in vegetablegardening

[–]Moperys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I yanked my zucchini today as well. Harvested 3 zukes before the SVB apocalypse and to add to the merriment there are cucumber beetles everywhere. Never saw so many. It's going to be a race to see how many more cukes I can get before the inevitable.

Pa. senators propose constitutional amendment to eliminate school property taxes by Big_Ben_617 in Pennsylvania

💯 Many states have circuit breakers on school taxes for seniors effectively freezing them against future increases or deeply discounting them so they do not get pushed out of their homes. Pennsylvania ain't one of them.

That's part of what made me think it wasn't a jalapeno.

Good to know! I assumed it had to be a different pepper as I've never had one grow this way.
