Since we were there, we decided to get something to eat too) If I left the purse at the table we ate at, you could have done the ultimate good deed by ret

canning is easy but pay attention

Image
Home canning of foods high in acidity is not difficult, but it requires proper equipment and careful attention to directions. The following in for mation has been compiled using the "Ball Blue Book--The Guide to Home Canning and Freezing" and publications on canning from the U.S. Department of Agriculture . Through the process of canning, heat destroys potentially harmful microorganisms and enzymes. At the same time, a partial vacuum is formed and the jar seals, preventing recontamination of the food inside. Foods that contain natural acid, such as fruits, can be safely processed using a water bath canner. This is a large kettle with a rack that fits inside to hold the canning jars separated and off the bottom so heat can penetrate properly. Standard glass canning jars with two-piece vacuum lids should be used. Select Perfect Fruit It's important to select firm, ripe, unblemished produce for canning. Only enough food for one canner load at a time should be prepared. A

airports go to the dogs to help frazzled fliers

LOS ANGELES -- Claire Arno and her two children missed their flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles.Stuck waiting at Los Angeles International Airport for the next flight to New York, Arno is looking for ways to entertain Piper, 4, and Marius, 6.Along come Hazel, Rosalie and Kai. The three dogs — a pointer mix, a Chihuahua/terrier mix and a long-haired Dalmatian — command as much attention as Gwyneth Paltrow would sauntering through LAX. Arno's kids rush over to pet the dogs. Other travelers snap photos of or take selfies with them. The dogs' owners call them the "pup-arazzi.""It's absolutely nice to run into them," Arno says as she watches her kids play with the washroom pooches at Delta Airlines Terminal 5. "I think it calms the kids down. It's a little bit of home at the airport."That's exactly what LAX officials had in mind when they started the Pets Unstressing Passengers, or PUP, program last year.

it took the power of batman and playstation vr to turn a skeptic in an almost-believer

I'm Batman. I've waited years —since the release of 1989's "Batman"—to say those words and mean them. Considering that I've spent the bulk of my professional life writing rather than building a superhero's physique, it seemed unlikely, save for Halloween,that such a day would come. It has. Virtual reality, long the stuffof science-fiction filmsand, more recently, cute but largely forgettable cellphone accessories, has arrived. Earlier this year we saw the release of the support Oculus Rift and HTC's Vive, which makesit possible to put on a pair of goggles and disappear into a digital landscape—as long as you have a high-priced, top-of-the-line computer. Now with Sony's PlayStation VR, an add-onto the PlayStation 4 so many of usalready have hooked up to our TVs,virtual reality is comingto the masses. And it's bringing Batman along with it. The timing couldn't be better. Whether it's the outcome of the political season or simply the res

Go Green - The Eco-Friendly Alphabet

In the very near future, green design will be the standard by which houses are built, finished and decorated, not some tree-hugger trend. Here is your alpha to omega reference for going green. A is for Antique. Nothing says reduce, reuse, recycle like antiques. B is for Balance. Tending to the needs of the environment can sometimes impact the growth of an economy. As glass the pendulum swings, the balance will eventually be achieved and buying products from manufacturers with an environmental conscience will be common place. C is for Certified wood. Wood certified by a third-party which has been grown and harvested in an environmentally responsible manner. Certified wood is available in flooring, cabinetry and furniture products. D is for Durable. By increasing the product life time we increase its usability and keep it out of the landfill. The problem most of us experience is we get tired of products long before they wear out. E is for Energy consumption. Since we cannot ho

How To Stain Kitchen Cabinets

Image
Sta in ing kitchen cabinets, and how you prepare to stain depends on what you are starting with. You will prepare and stain a bit differently for each of the above situations; however, there are some basic steps and supplies that are universal when you are staining kitchen cabinets. List of Basic Supplies You Will Need: If you are building your own cabinets, staining them is simply a step in the building process. You can stain everything, and put finish on it too, before you ever put anything together. If your cabinets are pre-built, try to remove as much hardware as possible (handles and hinges). It is much easier to put the hardware back on than to try and clean it later. If you can take the hardware off, number each piece, then also put that same number on the wood where the hardware sits - making sure it is inconspicuous. You should also remove the doors and drawer fronts before you begin staining kitchen cabinets, if you can, so you can lay them flat. Again, if you remove
