I use a mixer sometimes. Just add a little milk.

Thanks. I've wanted a processor, but I have no place to put it, and the hand mixer has always been good to me.

Is there a state that isn't crazy in some way or another?

Colorado is a good example of the most messed up state. Tax money, if voters approve , will go to marijuana growers. While the schools don't have enough money for anything.

I know, education is definitely short-changed in a lot of states. So extremely frustrating!!

So glad to hear you are safe. I heard about the bus crash in Paris, and I've been thinking of you all day. Thanks for the picture and checking in. @Goofyernmost.

2 news.. one good and the other bad..

the bad.. Patricia is now the strongest hurricane ever on recorded story, with wind guts of 400Km/h
Thats Tornado territory.
sustained of 200Mph(320Km/h). It surpassed both Trip and Wilma as strongest wind speed wise..
even stronger in barometric pressure than Wilma (880 vs 882)

The good: It seems to be turning right into the mountain range. Which means we will get torrential rain, but very little winds.
As the mountain range will protect us. Weather channel is reporting a 100% probability of 47mph winds in my area. these things are not 100% confirmed in my experience. As we've had another strong hurricane enter the back of the mountain range and do zero wind damage in my town.

Our neighbourns are already walling the windows with wood.
I'm going to use the beds to reinforce them if things go bad.

I'm going to show my ignorance here, what does spaghetti squash look like? Not everything is labeled in the grocery. I've read that you can shred it after cooking and it can take the place of spaghetti, not in taste, but in looks.

Thanks, that looks really good. Typically how long do you cook it? roasted I presume, and cut in half?

It looks like a yellow football only not as pointy on the ends

Thanks for the alert, I hope that darn thing misses you completely!

If that's the only thing going in the oven sometimes I'll slice it open scoop the seeds lightly oil then roast, seeing I'm lazy I just poke it a few times and roast until soft, slice it open and then scoop the seeds out no oil needed and I do 2 or 3 at a time.

Good afternoon, all. I'm leaving in a little while, my second bike ride today.
