Potholders, Bars, and Hank

Way back in 1985 when I got married I got a set of potholders from one of my punch pourers. I am positive that her grandmother made them. Those potholders have been with me ever since but now they are wearing out! I just about had a catastrophe with a pan of carrot bars because one has (probably both have) a hole in it and I burned my finger. No, not burned but I felt the heat. As much as I would hate to do it I think that I need to get rid of the potholders. Since the kids do some cooking I would certainly hate for them not to be aware of the flaws in those potholders and get a bad burn! Bye-bye Potholders! 🙁

I have not been up to much. I did have another run-in with Hank. Saturday night he walked by and touched me. I don’t know how many times I must tell one person “don’t touch me!” Then again last night ~ Monday night he walked by and touched me! WTF? Dick was sitting there because he stopped in to get an envelope so that he could night deposit his paycheck. Then Hank felt the need to explain it to Dick ~ while touching his shoulder! Dick told him “you can touch me there but if you touch my ass I will have to kill you.” (Hank has a habit of touching guys asses!) He has never touched my ass and he lucky. Because he would be pulling back a bloody stump if he ever touched my ass.

My carrot bars are done. I am afraid that I may have over-cooked them. They are not burnt but quite brown around the edges. I really need to have someone adjust my oven temperature and the burners.

I really need to run through the shower then get my bars frosted.

Have a great night!

I don’t think you’re squirrelly or for the birds either. A lot of the mulberries falling from the tree have been ripe. Almost white or pale pink. Either the wind or the birds and squirrels have been causing them to fall. I checked the tree this morning as I was leaving for work. Very, very few ripe berries. Got home this evening and the tree is loaded with ripe ones. (C) 🙂 – – – –

We have picked the mulberries and the are good. The MIL sometimes bakes pies with them. If it wasn’t for the fact that they are edible I’d have cut down the tree. It’s a good thing that the drive is asphalt and not concrete. Purple concreete looks like hell. So do the cars when the birds that get diarrhea from the mulberries fly over them and poop.

White ringed purple poop in large amounts doesn’t look good on any car regardless of the color of the car. (Pre-Poop that is!) 🙂 – – – –
