I wonder how much the happy couple were paid to pose for that tv commercial on "it's never too late to sign up for life insurance policies"....Hopefully it won't eventually be an episode of "Dateline".

Rick, you need to update your kitchen. I had a similar kitchen floor and laboriously painted all my cupboards a similar shade of gold in 1975, my first home...glad I moved a few years later.
That said, what goes around comes around and we'll probably see similar again in a few more years.

What Middle Eastern recipe does Peg make with sumac berries? Are they fresh or dried and crushed?

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

What Middle Eastern recipe does Peg make with sumac berries? Are they fresh or dried and crushed?

I asked. She's not much help. She picks the berries fresh and stores them so they usually dry out before she uses them. She can't remember any specific recipe but they are available if she sees any recipe that she wants to try that asks for them.

Hey, the good news here is that we're going to have a white Christmas.

The bad news is that although I've plowed a workspace on our black countertop there is going to remain a sprinkling of flour around the spice jars for sometime due to Peg's baking accident.

Whaaat? Peg was allowed upstairs? Did she burn herself?

What do you think.

That's a great story for the kids.

My brother proposed on Valentine's Day. He bought a box of chocolates, took one out and replaced it with a diamond ring and then wrapped the box. When he gave the gift to his wife-to-be she shook the box hard, heard rattling and said "I think you got me a box of chocolates." On opening the present the ring was well hidden.

Never seen anyone run that fast.

I have. It was at Boy Scout camp. Me and a new scout were headed into the woods on a really spooky night to collect firewood. I was carrying the axe. The kid mentioned how scary it was. He disappeared after I said "You're scared? I'll be coming back by myself."

Lovely, romantic story...did she chip a tooth when she bit into the piece with the hidden ring?
In my 20's at work I was taken to lunch on occasion by salesmen and had a drink or two. Once at Christmas time upon returning to work afterward, I took an empty box of chocolates a co-worker had brought in earlier and turned the plastic brown pre-formed tray upside down. I went around the office with the box offering everyone a piece of chocolate; some good sports even indulged me by pretending to take one. This is a personal Not Serious silliness for the day....but I am serious.

If my brother tried that the elevators wouldn't be running.

Not on his honeymoon but my brother got an extremely cheap price on an early season cruise to Bermuda. Shore workers ended up striking so they had a long wait to get off the ship using the ship's lifeboats and crew. They rented a motorscooter but had a minor accident with it within a half hour and with cops, rental agency, paperwork and such they had to get back on board without seeing anything. Then the seas got bad and the boats couldn't be used for the next two days. Sea sickness all the way back.

Sounds like a nightmare. Coincidently my niece got married in Bermuda and some had rented motorscooters. An aunt got her scooter in a minor accident and messed up her knee...no pun involved.
