My daughter and I are making vinaterta using your recipe at http://etherwork.net/recipes/vineterte.html This is the first time we have done it, because in past years my mother has done it. This year, we are trying to get her to do less, so we convinced her we needed to learn. I am not a baker, so I ...

WHERE DID I CAREFULLY PUT MY SPARE GLASSES???? (So far I have gone through all the cabinets and drawers in the bathroom and the shelf beside the bed.) Does anyone else have this kind of experience? And more to the point, have you found the carefully put away item? Where did you find it? Maybe my gl...

And what about tattoos and piercings? . I met a guy at a conference once in the US. Got talking to him. He was from somewhere in Africa and lived and worked in a pretty small community -- he was in the US just for the conference. Very neat guy. We got talking about teen fashions and I talked about ...
