OMG! Your dinner sounds SO amazing and rosemary with chicken is just perfect!

Good Morning sis I just hope that rain doesn't turn to ice and snow..ick! But Cooper..he sounds like a real funny guy until he comes over and shakes himself off :D Anyways I spent a half hour trying to peel candle wax off of the aluminum foil I used on the candle holders to catch the wax. Apparently it was not a very good choice and it was quite the task to remove the foil from the melted wax but now I have a bunch of wax blobs for making candles which I have yet to do. Blue potatoes..we don't have much of that here in my area but they are pretty neat. Soon I am gonna do some vacuuming....whee.

I just learned of a really cool way to get rid of rust on cast iron cookware and that is to take a potato, cut it in half then dip the cut part in baking soda or put the soda on teh affected area and rub it with teh potato. Apparently it works quite well to get rid of the rust. So the next time I do any grocery shopping I will get some potatoes and use one to get rid of some small rust spots on my cast iron cook ware. I was watching a video on household tricks that our parents and/or grandparents used and it is really amazing to watch because it shows that when it comes to cleaning that packaged convenience is not always better. Of course vinegar, salt and baking soda are great things to keep around regardless of what era it is. :)

Mmm..you always make yummy dinners :) Does this river you spoke of generally handle runoff well enough? Sorry for being ignorant 'cuz I don't know the area but just wondering if there are like some sort of aquifers that divert excess runoff from the river?

Hopefully it stopped raining?
