MARILYN Glad you were able to help her navigate around the flooded waters. Having to wade through all the water certainly would have been horrible.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (361458) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Aug

Perenjori is about 340 kilometres north-east of Perth. It’s a small town and the centre of a farming community. In 2018, the local supermarket closed down, then the building was reduced to rubble by a cyclone. The local Shire...

I have a little jar of President's Choice shrimp sauce in the refrigerator from Loblaws. Since it was getting low, I picked up another little jar at a competitor's grocery store, Sobeys, under their brand name. Both jars are the...

MARILYN Side by side they do look like they would hold different amounts. Maybe the taller one is just slimmer and taller whereas the other is shorted and wider? Hope you can find out which label is correct. We consumers are really having to question so much these...

Apple Pie. Whats not to like!

Gary Marsh @garymarsh6 (23795) • United Kingdom 22 Aug

This time of the year there is usually an abundance of Apples as we come to the end of summer. Apple pies were invented in England in the 14th Century & various European countries had their own variations of Apple pies. In France...

MARILYN I'll start by saying I LOVE apple pie and yes I've made my own. My favorite is with a crumble topping but I've never turned down an apple pie regardless of the topping/crust. Apples are so versatile that I've baked apples instead of a whole pie and they do...

Sometimes They Really Don't Know Any Better

Jim Bauer @porwest (105542) • United States 22 Aug

Sometimes things irk me more than others. I have my pet peeves. But don't we all? Yesterday when we were walking around our Schnuck's grocery store, I observed three younger women in the aisles on scooters. They were probably...

Good morning 8\22

snowy @snowy22315 (194813) • United States 23h

I had a blueberry, cream cheese tortilla this morning. I saw an easy recipe online, and it looked good. It was good, but next time I will find my real maple syrup instead of the light syrup I used. It was easy. I have a ton of...

MARILYN That does sound really good and lots of possibilities for future ideas. I bet the Nutella & banana would be delicious. I don't really use tortillas but I bet they would be a good substitute for a pizza crust.
