Just a few things I’ve noticed:
- Homemade pie dough needs vodka as well as water. The vodka keeps the gluten in the dough from getting too springy and makes a more tender crust.
- For your guests, tomato sauces need just a little bit of sugar. It greatly reduces the acidic effects on digestion.
- Sometimes the friends you make in the most bizarre of places, even like this blog, end up meaning more than you can express.
- There is no point in making a sandwich if you aren’t going to make it well. Toast or grill the bread, use quality meats, add a little pesto to the mayo if it warrants it. Like life, it is about the quality you put into it, not the quantity or speed in which it gets done.
- Advocate for more parallel parking spaces. Most people can’t handle them these days so I almost always find a place.
- From someone else: Never make someone a priority if they consider you an option.
- If you’re buying a log home, invest in a powerful pressure washer. Every few years you’re going to want to really clean the place off.
- Carpenter bees suck.
I totally agree with the third one. Some of my best friends are people I met online long before I ever met them in person. Come to think of it, some of them I still haven’t met in person.
Gotta try the vodka… Have never made great pie crust, but even if the vodka in the pie crust does not work… the left overs will take the edge off!
priority/option…I totally agree.
You are such a sweetie
Good rules – one and all…
So very true. All of it. I hope your days are getting better.
i have never made a pie… but i would have probably just used a store-bought crust. Now that i know about Vodka, i think i may need to take up baking!
Love your rules. And my very best friends, I met on-line through my humble blog.
Thanks, bro.
