    I don't want it but just wanted to comment on the coffee press. I have a couple of them and love making my iced coffee in them during the summer. Give me a warm day 72° with a light breeze and a good book along with a tall glass of iced coffee. That weather is coming soon. I'm going to the farm...

    An excellent description, I couldn't have said so well. Both the boudin and potato wedges are dipped in the same batter that the chicken and livers are dipped in. The big hazard with the deep-frier is how the odor of rancid oil collects in your clothing. I would come home and strip in the garage...

    Good morning/afternoon, all. Oh man, you couldn't leave it alone! You had to bring up fried chicken livers. When we moved to SE Texas I took a job in a local stop and rob until something better came along. I think every Mom and Pop gas station in the south is required by law to have a deep-fat...

    Good morning, all. I actually got a decent night's sleep last night. I actually went to bed before I woke up in my recliner. I think it was about 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. As far as the day goes, I have no particular plans for the day. Maybe I'll just relax with Stephen King's book, The...

    Okay, I know there are some who don't like the fried liver and onions but it is a favorite of mine.

    Good afternoon all. I hope everyone is doing well. Now ya'll have me hungry for a steak. Next weekend, I'm going to have to go to the commissary. Snydee has a new job and it is an M-F job with weekends off. I'm sure I can talk her into taking me. I finally got the new motor mounted on the...

    Good morning all. It looks like it will be a good day here, weather-wise at least. I'm about finished putting the new motor on the brush mower. It has been one of those projects that have taken some Okie Ingenuity. I had to make one final trip to Auto Zone for a different size belt for running...

    Good morning/afternoon all. I hope everyone is having a good Friday. I don't know why I read the news nowadays. All that happens is I get totally, I can't use the words here that I want to use to describe my anger about this post on our local news. Announcers caught on broadcast making racist...

    Does it never fail. I get right in the middle of a project I have to run out and get more hardware. Good afternoon all. I have an old MTD gas edger/brush mower. I have had it since we bought our home in '97. I want to get it running so it can be used out at the farm. Yesterday I bought a motor...

    Good morning, all. I hope everyone is having a good day so far. Yesterday, I was lucky and found some free lumber that a neighbor had put out for big trash day. Once a month, we are allowed to put big items at the curb and the trash department will come by with a big claw and take the items to...

    Well, I just scored a good haul. I brought my dog outside for her to do her duty and noticed a neighbor had put some lumber out to his curb. I got about a half dozen 2x4s and a few 1x4s, good pine lumber. I just need to sand and then paint them. I'm going to use them to make a cat tree. I...

    Good afternoon, all. I hope everyone is having a good day. Rechargeable is the way to go. The initial cost is lower and the quality is so much better nowadays. I tried using the graduated cylinders when I first started DIY. I didn't care for them as the liquids clung to the sides too much...

    Good morning, all. It is going to be a great day as far as the weather goes. Temps will be high 60s today and low 70s tomorrow with no chance of rain. I'm not going to do any spring cleaning but I am going to turn off the heater, open the windows and turn on the attic fan to air out the house. I...

    Seeing the labels, I had to buy another label maker not long ago. You would think label makers should last more than 15 years. When I first started DIY, I tried using handwritten labels using old sticky-backed disc labels I had laying around. It really got to be a pain removing them when I...

    The FDA says its legally OK to have up to 19 maggots and 74 mites in a 3.5-ounce can of mushrooms. Sometimes ignorance is a blessing. I started using some of the "Gorilla" bottles I had received a couple of months ago. I have plenty of 30 and 60 ml bottles. Unfortunately, the tip is too big...

    You really know how to brighten a person's day! Your thumb isn't just green, it is magical. My daughter found where she had safely stashed my birthday present. It only took her a week to find it. lol It was a mix of different things and not just a single present. It felt like Christmas when I...

    I can't tell ya how many times I have woke up in the recliner. Except, I usually wake at 6 AM and there is no going back to bed. I would recommend rotating the heat and ice. And only use them for 20 minutes each. No more or there is a good chance of tissue damage. I was told this from different...

    Hi all, I decided to check the local weather so I could see what was happening and this headline screamed out at me: Oklahoma man dies after thief steals ambulance during emergency | KFOR.com Oklahoma City I just don't understand what goes on in the minds of some people. @Uncle Willie, when I...
