Thank you. I like knowing you read when I post.

I never use unsalted butter.

torapines December 16 2009, 21:16:32 UTC

Well you're going to hell.

helloheather December 16 2009, 22:05:29 UTC

Um. OUCH.

But, okay, if that's the way you have to have it.

;)

Really, I just don't think unsalted butter tastes like butter is supposed to taste. I don't BELIEVE in unsalted butter. Ma Ingalls salted her butter, and that's good enough for me.

The funny thing is, I know I had a reason for switching to unsalted butter for some things, but now I can't remember what it was. So I'm thinking of switching back.

Of course, this decision might have been better timed BEFORE I bought four pounds of it at Costco.

Ma Ingalls also put carrot juice in her butter. I'm just sayin'.

I wonder if those plant watering globes work? You fill the glass globe with water and stick it in the plant and the plant uses it as needed. You'd probably have to get up on a chair/ladder and refill the globes but I wonder if it would be less often?

torapines December 16 2009, 21:18:52 UTC

Since the chair/ladder in question would have to be 17+ feet high, I'm thinking even the globes wouldn't last long enough. I'm considering a squirt gun. There is a spot on the second floor where I could stand and pretty handily aim at the high-up livingroom windows... The only risk would be water dribbling down the walls. Hmmm. This bears further exploration. I'd kind of love to have plants up there in those bright, open windows.

i approve this message.

i kill houseplants so i have no advice.

torapines December 16 2009, 21:21:46 UTC

I can keep certain houseplants alive through a routine of structured neglect. I think if I could get them up into the highup windows, I'd actually have a good chance of leaving them alone enough to sustain life.

But I may just be fooling myself into an excuse to use the really big ladder.

Well that makes my day! I'm glad you read. Slowly, but surely, I do feel the motivation sinking in :-)
