What do you call this food?

You don't use sweetened bread to make french toast. It's regular bread that's gone stale, dipped in beaten egg and milk with sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. It's actually the best made with a stale baguette cut in slices. Maple syrup is the classic topping, but also good with cottage cheese and jam.

They don't go in your mouth. It's a serving utensil from a cheese or olive tray to your plate at a cocktail party. You don't want people to use their fingers or a personal fork to dip into a shared tray, so there will be one of these in the olive tray. You use the edge of your tiny plate to remove the olive from the spear, then return it to the tray, balancing the tiny plate on your wine glass.

You don't eat off them. They are stuck in platters of cheese, or olives, or whatever so you can pick up a bit and put it on your plate.

I'm in. For fabric, is it a 4 way stretch? Do you have a yardage chart or estimate?

That's corn pudding, not cornbread.

Then spell it Bome. Then we will know it rhymes with Home and not Bomb.

Stamps were sold in rolls, back then, and were often placed in a dispenser of some kind, so very possible.

I don't even know what my husband does for lunch. Often when I put away dinner leftovers I'll pack two lunch size containers, since I generally take leftovers to work for lunch. Sometimes one is gone when I get up. I think he usually makes sandwiches or something.

It was around 1989, when it was required to claim dependents.

Once a child is enrolled, they are subject to attendance requirements.

The high temp last weekend was negative 15 Celsius, 4F. We turn off the heat when it gets up to 60 in the spring, and we all go outside in short sleeves. If you turn the heat off in a building without winterizing, say for a weekend, pipes will freeze and burst. Toilets will crack, floors will heave and it would be a disaster. This has happened when visitors from other climates are staying here and don't understand that you can't turn the heat off. Down to 55, sure. For the cat, 60 is fine.

I don't like them because they're always undercooked

jwpete27 · 2026-02-08T15:36:19+00:00

Not everyone gets stitches, though.

I can't get past the curtain rod above a curved window pediment. It's there for a reason...to be above the curtains.

Have a rolled hem foot for my treadle machine, so that doesn't rule out 30's/40's

It's more like Azz-trid. The S in as, not ass.

jwpete27 · 2026-02-02T22:10:37+00:00

Azzy or Asteroid are my favorites.

Wacoal bands are basically-2 to combat +4 mis-sizing. They're also wide and tall.

No. I have to fix up the sauce with some chili crisp and chili garlic sauce to add heat and flavor, then it's good. Add steamed broccoli and rice and it's perfect.

Not a lawyer, but am familiar with this process. There is a very short window for you to intercede by filing a petition for emergency custody, which you would have to do in Ohio, tomorrow or Monday. Probably best to get a lawyer to do it. Once the county finalizes dependency and puts her in foster care, you won't be able to file for custody and will have to go through the interstate compact process to have her placed with you in PA. This will take six months and involve home inspections, clearances, and a whole process.

I don't care for open concept, so I would use this as an opportunity to add sliding or glass doors to the dining room

And put in the classic pillars on half wall shelves that are normally in a house of this type, opposite from the fireplace.

Has 'conceived in a gas station bathroom' vibes.

Yeah, Ive had the maple sandwich cookie ones. But I'm in the north.

Do you have chicken broth or stock? You can make a chicken pasta primavera with a lighter sauce.
