To include into that, buying a house that's unrenovated. So much shiplap, mental illness grey paint, and recessed lighting in beautiful old houses nowadays.

To be a good influence. My 7 year old wants to start weightlifting to get stronger for her gymnastics classes, so I've been teaching her the basics, stuff to do with dumbbells because I don't have a bar she can lift yet, as well as yoga and good eating habits. Honestly, sometimes she's a better influence on me to get out there.

I don't, but I want to get one for my husband for his birthday. If I get the dock, can 2 people play the same game of it's on a TV or do I need 2 decks?

I'm so happy that I'm able to make a lot of things that my family eats from scratch. Bread does not need sugar/HFCS in it to be tasty! Really the only things I buy pre made now is pasta (I'm learning how to make spaghetti noodles, but elbow noodles remain elusive lol).

And then save the bacon grease in a jar to add to gravys! I add a tablespoon or so to my sausage gravy for biscuits and gravy and it is freaking delicious. Can also use it to grease a cast iron pan before making a pizzookie for a little extra flavor.

The Deep by Nick Cutter.

I finished this book before the Titan submarine incident and it gave me the same feeling that I had reading.

Don't worry! My second loaf of this batch didn't anywhere near this nice. It almost looks like a frisbee lol

This is Ken Forkish's White Bread with Poolish recipe from Flour Water Salt Yeast. Makes 2 loaves.

I make the poolish the night before. Do a bulk fermentation for at least 3 hours, then final prove for 1. Bake in a dutch oven with the lid on for 30 mins, then 20 mins with it off.

There will always be shows where the references go over the viewers heads. Hell, I've had to Google so much from The Golden Girls that I didn't understand. My 10 year old and 7 year old both love Futurama. The characters are timeless.
