Lisa, I'm glad your mom is OK.
We were NOT happy when we got the bill for the car repair. The block of wood that DH ran over yesterday killed his front-end alignment, so with the tire repair and the oil change that was due anyway it was almost $300
So here is a public-service announcement from me to you: Stay far enough back from the car in front of you that you can swerve around stuff in the road!
Jeandeanette, bagels also make yummy pizzas for lunch or a quick dinner. Toast them on light to make them a little crispy, then top with sauce, cheese and whatever else you like and bake at 350 until everything is hot and melty.
Norma, we had an exterminator 2 years ago for a kitchen ant problem. He treated the house, told us to clear plants from a certain area, and also told us to caulk around the entire kitchen counter. We have not seen an ant since we followed those instructions.
Roberta, my neighbor has some ants and doesn't want to call an exterminator. She has several entry points, so I forwarded your tip to her. Thanks for posting it!
jjoj, great idea using your leftover rolls for breadcrumbs. Once the ducks stop coming here, I can get going on that again. Right now they get all our stale bread and even some that isn't stale since we just can't resist the cuteness
