This 55 year old is totally stealing this.

I have no idea how or why my paternal grandmother ended up making oyster stuffing every year. No one in her ancestry ever lived in New England. It's extra funny that I like it now, because I hated it as a kid.

I like making pin loom squares but I haven't found a satisfactory joining method. Your joins always look great. Is there a tutorial you can recommend?

I like your priorities. Heck, maybe I’ll spin some green Polwarth or something.

I am so glad you got out, and sorry for all of the pain both before and after. Garden-variety evangelical Christianity was bad enough; JW must be orders of magnitude worse.

Do you have a generator?

Oh yes. But the flavor was excellent, so he will try again. I will meddle this time and make the call on the custard. He's generally an excellent baker and I am not, but he's also more impatient than I am (which is saying something).

I'm only 2 1/2 hours from where you are now!

anything, the waiter and I could barely understand each other, and the food was delicious: masala dosa, uthappam with onion and chilies, methi chicken, and Andhra-style curry. The last one was new to me and I want to try making it.

Thanks! Oh yes, I enjoyed spinning them very much!

I really enjoy your crafty creativity.

Spot on except for the plants.

Hi Dan! I’ve bought and sold a number of wheels before settling on a few for the long haul. There are lots of good buys on used modern wheels (I don’t recommend an antique wheel for beginners). And you can usually re-sell a secondhand wheel for close to what you paid for it if necessary.

I’m so sorry. Losing a beloved pet is awful. If ever there comes a time when you feel like you need to share memories of them but you think no one wants to hear it, you can find people who care and are glad to listen here. There is no time limit on grief.
