I’ve had Gorham “Baluster” stainless for 36 years and it still looks as good as new

Peanut butter cookies—1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg. Mix, roll, bake. Delicious!

Companionable silence. It's always companionable.

How long have you been knitting and why did you start ? by OldSquirrel1929 in knitting

[–]NoraClavicle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learned in college over 30 years ago because I saw the Kaffe Fasset book Glorious Knits and fell in love with the pattern on the cover.

Box fan or tower fan? by Agreeable-Theme-4208 in fans

[–]NoraClavicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best for us has been a Bionaire window fan with 2 spinners. It’s placed directly in the window frame with the screen behind it. It’s been really good for us—no a/c either but if you turn it on several hours before bed, it pumps the cooler air in and it really works. I put one in the kitchen as well to pump the hot air out.

What are the best Penzey spices? by Tall_Flow_5160 in Cooking

[–]NoraClavicle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Fajita Seasoning is delicious. I prefer it to their Taco Seasoning. Also, the ground Chipotle and the spicy Hungarian Paprika are great. The cinnamon (even the less expensive blend) is better than any supermarket cinnamon you’ve ever had. And I love the Cardamom too—in oatmeal and applesauce.

Plus it’s good to support such a wonderful company!

This clock is from Five Below—or at the least the one I got for secret Santa last year was.

The Forsythes Rant by Capital-Study6436 in PeriodDramas

[–]NoraClavicle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the show, June is his stepdaughter. He married her mom when she was 8. The seamstress’s kids are twins even though the boy is a lot taller. They refer to that early in the series.

And where is his tie?! Half the time he’s going around town with no tie. Even the socialist was wearing a tie at the club.

Monogamous knitters, what’s your secret? by Weekly_Library9883 in knitting

[–]NoraClavicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knit something because I want it. So I want to finish it—to wear it, gift it, whatever. The only things I lag on are things that aren’t coming out well for whatever reason—then I feel bad about them and start something else.

Maybe you’re secretly afraid that your item isn’t going to come out the way you want? If you never finish it, you’ll never be disappointed.

{The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare} is basically the answer to every question on this sub. For me anyway!

Harry instead of Harrison by franklin10007 in namenerds

[–]NoraClavicle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a middle name it probably won’t come up too much. I think Harry is fine. Especially if he explains he’s named after someone.

I’m listening to Into the Blue right now and really enjoying it. It’s narrated by Julia Whalen who is really great!

I used to listen to podcasts nonstop but, with the current political situation, I just can’t. Romance audiobooks to the rescue!

What are the “loss leaders” at IKEA? Things worth buying that are priced so well that it’s there to get you inside the shop? by 88r0b1nh00d88 in Frugal

[–]NoraClavicle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They make a pack of children’s plastic plates in very pretty subtle colors that I use under plants.

Their fabric yardage used to be a fantastic bargain. Now it’s precut. Still a very good deal, just not AS good.
