Molly Malone – Good to hear how you’re doing. It’s great there are so many opera fans in your area that they had to hold a lottery for the tickets 🙂 I think you and Wagner are/were right, “tastefulness” would definitely have detracted from the power of “The Ride of the Valkyries”, lol!
Cinnamon Grammy – Congratulations to your grandson on the great scholarship he was awarded!
Today I watched 3 more of Jill Winger’s preview videos for her new online course. Today’s excellent videos were on making a soft cheese (with an easier recipe than the one I usually use), making 30-minute Mozzarella without using a microwave, and water bath canning a yummy mixed-berries jam sweetened with honey. I’m really enjoying her videos and was pleased to learn that she’s going to have an Encore day this weekend so folks can watch any of the earlier videos they might have missed. I’ve been taking copious notes on the recipes and techniques and now have even more items to put on my prepping wish list (such as Prague Powder No. 1, and mild Lipase powder, etc.), lol! . . . I’ve been doing more thinking about those hanging clothes drying racks/clothes airers. I believe that, with its wooden slats, one could also be used as a pasta drying rack for large batches of homemade pasta. I definitely have to start saving up for one of those racks; they’re sounding more and more useful 🙂
