And if you don't have it, you can't give it to yourself, either.<br /><br />That said, I prefer to use clean utensils. If I lived alone, though, no telling what I'd do. I'm sure a lot of my meals would be eaten by the light of the refrigerator door.mikemaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569666073239903588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-20180810833891801932013-05-18T12:56:49.675+01:002013-05-18T12:56:49.675+01:00I could use your gardening help here!

I have a lot of work to do out in the garden and I'm not really a big fan of maintaining the garden. Of course I like the way it looks after everything is cleaned up and cut back. I thought that "art" show was kind of odd. Hope you have a nice time with your family.

The house will be let, the garden needs to be tidy, the tenants won't want to be bothered with anything which needs constant maintenance.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-64732042502526512542013-05-18T08:29:52.914+01:002013-05-18T08:29:52.914+01:00Thanks.

I use the same method with other pots and tubs in the fridge. Big pots of yogurt, dips, houmous, honey, etc. I am strict with stock rotation, eat it before it goes manky. You won't find any deadly nasties lurking in my fridge.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-17653245735191488872013-05-18T03:30:40.916+01:002013-05-18T03:30:40.916+01:00I don't necessarily like the work involved wit...I don't necessarily like the work involved with cleaning up a garden, but I love the feeling of satisfaction when I am done. Good work, girl! I have been cleaning out and re-doing a border that never looked good to begin with, and was badly overgrown. I have a mini-rototiller and got my son to till it up today. I have about $21 worth of new plants and seeds to put in, and the rest will be divisions of perennial plants that I have growing elsewhere. I'd put off planting until tonight, when it would be cooler...and now it has started to rain!!mikemaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569666073239903588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-8645597600899141922013-05-17T22:09:20.252+01:002013-05-17T22:09:20.252+01:00Hi Ilona, about the mayo, everytime you put the fo...Hi Ilona, about the mayo, everytime you put the fork into the jar for more mayo you're transferring bacteria to the jar if the fork has been in your mouth. Not saying that your mouth is dirty ha ha!! <br />Bacteria breeds and you could end up with food poisioning, especially if you leave some time before using the mayo again. Better to put a dollop on the plate with a clean spoon even if it does make the plate more messy.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-39320436029249243962013-05-17T21:24:34.210+01:002013-05-17T21:24:34.210+01:00I've been making my own mayonnaise and really ...I've been making my own mayonnaise and really love it!

You have so much energy Ilona, Helen is lucky to have you helping her, it's over whelming to have that amount of work to do on your own. Well done, the front garden will look very neat when it all greens up.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
