Comments on: Happy New Year! https://whynow.dumka.us/2017/01/01/happy-new-year-13/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sun, 08 Jan 2017 02:09:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2017/01/01/happy-new-year-13/comment-page-1/#comment-83841 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 02:09:39 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=38356#comment-83841 In reply to hipparchia.

Get one of the flea traps I tested a while back. The SpringStar is the best for cats as it has a grid over the sticky board to keep cats from getting stuck. It uses a 4 watt night light to attract the fleas.

Tonight is supposed to be cooler longer. It was 32°F/0°C at 8PM with a windchill of 24°

not quite the ice storm of a few years ago. high winds all morning, so I stayed inside and off the bridges most of the day anyway, black ice or no.

and you know what? all this cold, and the house completely dehumidified from running the central heat 24/7, and the house has STILL had another flea population explosion this weekend.

Add a couple of pepperoni slices, a slice of mozzarella, pop it into a salamander/broiler for 30 seconds and you have a quick slice of near-pizza

That’s a Maltese standard that! I forget what they call it… a thick slice of fresh bread, spread olive oil & tomato paste, salt & pepper! I loved that as a kid. 😀

I mainly posted that OliveTree KC link for Jennifer (she lives there). I figured she’d see it, and she did (chatting with her on Pinterest). Jennifer said she knows the store well! LOL

The standard jack-o-lantern pumpkin isn’t bad and you can score a lot of free seeds by helping friends with kids clean out their pumpkins. You will at least know when the seeds were grown and that they were ‘fresh’.

You might be able to register a logo under ‘The Olive Tree’ but it should be too generic to be registered as a trademark.

My Mother was a big fan of flavored olive oil rather than butter on bread.

This is the first time I’ve seen a black ice warning, Hipparchia. It is going to be a skating rink north of I-10.

It’s 38 C today! It’s only the start of Jan! Usually Feb. before we get near 40C. :\ Plus hot for the rest of the week. There are extreme fire warnings all over Aus. (though central Aus. (where the deserts are) is flooding! If I hear one more climate change denier, I will shoot them! I have to keep my weapons permits current, & getting a gun is dead easy for me! (Pun intended!) 😛

Yeah… I am totally fed up with morons!

I went shopping @ 8:30 to beat the heat. Was 24C when I left. Think i’ll have an ice cream I got (actually, more of a frozen mango sorbet over vanilla bean yogurt on a stick! Sounded yummy for a summer treat!) And Watermelon was on special for $1.50 / kg! I haven’t seen that price for many years! I got a whole one. I had to carve it up to fit in my fruit/veg drawer in ther fridge. LOL Apparently, they had a very good season. 😀

I’ll look for some more vegan (& gluten free, right?) recipes. I’m finaly going through my boxes from when I moved here. Found my archive CD/DVD’s. 🙂 Also found Mom’s Cook book, though I doubt there are many vegan friendly recipe’s in that! Not from the 40’s, 50’s & 60’s! LOL

and more weather…. MOAR WEATHER!11!!! too bad it can’t be ice storms again, like a couple of years ago. 😈

and yeah, I forgot about the lightning from last time, probably because there was so much of it that it was the occasional flashes of darkness were the surprising moments.

Drat… I also tried an olive oil that was garlic infused & that was easier & worked well. 🙂 I use it for some steaks. I also got an olive oil infused with lemon for some fish. 🙂 I’d assume you can get those there?

I get mine from a local producer called ‘The Olive Tree’ (a localy made brand from Aldi). They also make a fantastic range of 12-18 YO Balsamic Vinegar varieties! 😀

LOL A quick google found a company there called ‘Olive Tree’ in KS! Their products seem quite similar to the ones from The Olive Tree here! I wonder if it’s a copy or a licensed branch? Curious. 🙂

It also seems there are several producers/suppliers of infused olive oils, so shouldn’t be a problem. 🙂

OliveTree KC
