It was really, really good.I wanted to buy some, but the tub thing cost $9 so I went slinking sorrowfully back to my $2 tub from Aldi. The TC was worlds better, though.

My husband always brews his coffee for the week and sticks it in a jug in the fridge. Every day he pours out a cup for the morning and a bottle for midday at work. Saves money and time. He uses our coffee maker, but you can also cold brew a giant batch using the Pioneer Woman's recipe (or a similar one): http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/06/perfect-iced-coffee/ . You can have it iced, like hers, or heat it up.

So far both the upstairs and downstairs units are still kicking. We got the AC serviced in the spring and the guy said it looked okay for another few years but I guess time will tell....Joanne @ Our ABC Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058789135966108669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-21804921251070407092013-10-26T02:46:59.878-04:002013-10-26T02:46:59.878-04:00This is why you should just be a hobo.

Also I just sewed an elastic toddler skirt like that for Grace's Halloween outfit... I messed it up a few times because I didn't follow the directions at all, but somehow it still turned out pretty good. I will put up a pic on my blog next week.Lauren and Joe O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512344004821390265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-68113222562452016842013-10-25T21:59:23.611-04:002013-10-25T21:59:23.611-04:00Pretty sure you can finance a new furnace/AC. I...Pretty sure you can finance a new furnace/AC. I'm almost positive that's how we did it back in the twentieth century some time.<br /><br />Your carrots look just fine! Remember, they will never be as big as the ones in the store, because you don't use artificial stuff. I have never really been successful with carrots or potatoes, though both are absolutely delicious when fresh from the garden. They seem to want rather poor and well-drained soil, and I never remember that. Once I mixed a whole big bag of sand with my soil in an attempt to lighten it up, but it didn't help. ::sigh::<br /><br />Yay for your sewing!!! But wait—Cecilia liked a pink thing? Who would ever have thunk it???? ;-)Melissa H-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674140433439195917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-57935569201418313642013-10-25T21:50:32.420-04:002013-10-25T21:50:32.420-04:00Also, now that I read the rest of it...no wonder t...Also, now that I read the rest of it...no wonder the girls will have such a great wardrobe - taking after their mama!

You obviously don't need my tutorials parts 2 and 3, but I'll probably write them anyway since the first one was one of the most fun posts to write to date. There are so many fun fabrics to make skirts like that - your girls are going to have such a great wardrobe :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562306924797465454noreply@blogger.com
