Plumbing is intimidating, therefore quite rewarding when you actually do it and realize it's not that bad. <br /><br />Lessons from my own dad: (1) Often, a leaky faucet can be fixed with a new washer -- a dollar or two of materials. (2) Every plumbing repair requires three trips to the hardware store.<br /><br />I don't know if the second lesson is *always* correct, but I've found reassurance in doing repairs while the hardware store is open, and also feel less like a dolt when I have to go back mid-repair to get a different-sized washer/silicone tape, etc.<br /><br />I love that you're taking on these learning adventures. And huzzah for your dad being such a good teacher!'Snoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358536843341901645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-47521117624860500692023-06-08T14:36:43.797-04:002023-06-08T14:36:43.797-04:00Good for you, congrats!!!Good for you, congrats!!!Nancy In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749272217529362089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-35786414575535235712023-06-05T11:31:21.565-04:002023-06-05T11:31:21.565-04:00Anon, I put the goo and nuts right in the pan as u...Anon, I put the goo and nuts right in the pan as usual and froze it along with the buns.

Our bodies ...Margo!!! Heck yeah! Look at you go!<br /><br />Our bodies are amazing. They do so much and are so often treated or thought about poorly. Thanks for this inspring dose of positivity. Excellent thrifty note, too! That's so smart. <br /> You are absolutely right about the waste in all those unneccessary event shirts. <br /><br />Yesterday was the kick off for a commuter challenge in my community. I've participated the last few years, but Matt asked if he could join me "team" this year. I hope it inspries him to see what his body can do, too! He's the reason I started cycling 15 years ago...and I'd be thrilled to see him remember all that he loved about it. We went to a community party in the park as part of the launch and learned lots (like how to use the bike racks mounted on the city buses) and had a great time while we were at it!<br /><br />Congrats on your endurance, strength, and self-love!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-60019441648980696832023-06-02T12:11:55.868-04:002023-06-02T12:11:55.868-04:00What an amazing quote, sk!

It's no.
From Tastes ...Margo, I got my answer. It's no.<br /><br />From Tastes Like War by Grace M. Cho, p. 93:<br /><br />The moment [in Washington state] when she first received my [U.S.] father's generous gift of American cabbages, indignation spread across [my Korean mother's] face.<br /><br />"What is this? This isn't real cabbage." Her voice grew panicky. "Oh no . . . oh no! What I'm going to do now?" In the next moment, she directed her rage toward my father. "What I'm supposed to do with this? Huh?" Then, more calmly, she turned the head over and over in her hands, inspecting it with incredulity. "Hwaa . . . What American people can do with this, I have no idea."<br /><br />The vegetable that Americans knew as cabbage was an inferior specimen and wholly inadequate for making kimchi. Or so I inferred from my mother's rant. Once she recovered from this bitter disappointment, she set out to source the "real" cabbage, which Americans call "napa cabbage." She would drive to Seattle to look for it and did so on a semiregular basis. Sometimes she'd "het the jackpot" and come home with several cases of baechu, having bought out the store's whole supply. On less fortuitous occasions, all she could find was bok choy. It was not the same, but it was still better than nothing. In other words, it was better than American cabbage.<br /><br />(I think you might love the book.)skhttps://shirleykurtzbooks.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-63210018258752503162023-05-04T11:59:29.624-04:002023-05-04T11:59:29.624-04:00Chiming in late here, but love the topic.

For the past several years I have taken care of a friend of mine who needed a kidney transplant. She's had a terrible health journey but with a new kidney last year she has turned the corner and can start really living again. One lesson I took from the experience of care-giving is to be mindful of and appreciate my good health and functional body. I may not run a 5k but I am strong and healthy and I don't take that for granted!<br />We would be better served by recognizing our health than fretting about our shape.<br />Congrats on your run! That's an achievement!
