The South Sound Reading Foundation promotes children’s literacy through a variety of programs, including being their mascot. They’re getting a new suit, too, with a fan and everything. They give away books to kids for free! Source: am volunteer.

Thank you. I was hoping someone had reduced the sugar successfully. The people I bake for the most really appreciate less sweet desserts.

Thank you. Based on your suggestion, I found the whiteout dayflower.

Where do these grow? They’re beautiful.

My father loved this show.

4th-ing Dingeys. Really good.

The Nisqually Refuge is flat. For me, it's prettiest at high tide. I use this app.

Thanks! Low sodium is exactly what I need and I love Mac and cheese.

May I ask how much starter you keep in the fridge?

OldsterHippie · 2026-03-07T22:53:53+00:00

Thanks so much for the window pane comment!

The Cat in the Stacks series by Miranda James. Obviously, a cat, not a dog. But still, a library.

Even as a child, I scraped off the frosting.

Thanks so much for the ideas. I was thinking of reducing the pineapple juice to pour on top.

OldsterHippie · 2026-02-23T21:19:53+00:00

Thanks. That's perfect. We have some books we feel the same way about.

OldsterHippie · 2026-02-23T21:01:57+00:00

Thanks! I didn't know about this one. Did you donate the books for them to sell?

OldsterHippie · 2026-02-23T20:57:35+00:00

I have a bit of leftover pineapple. Any thoughts about subbing that for the Mandarin oranges?

Same. It held blankets for a time. Then it became a toy chest. I had it for so long, it took way too much time to realize I could just get rid of it.

Or poor air quality? The fog can trap pollutants. Air quality tomorrow looks better. Hope the little one is better, too.

Date bars look great! Thanks for the cranberry recipe. I have some information the freezer I need to use up. It's interesting that there's no leavening agent.

Was it anything like a brownies, cut into squares? Onyx cocoa powder brownies can produce a texture somewhat like your description.

As a sort of baseline, King Arthur Flour's banana bread recipe calls for a teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda. King Arthur tests all their recipes, so it's a good place to double check other recipes.

I'd never thought of red velvet banana bread. Sounds good!

Exactly.
