My Kaylee cat is missing.

We adopted her from the Pat Brody Shelter eight years ago, along with her kitten room companion Inara. She is loved and we miss her terribly.

Please keep an eye out for a sweet grey cat hiding in the shadows or up in a tree. Call/text me at 339-707-0254 if you see anything.

Facebook seems to be the hub of lost and found pets -- here is my Facebook post.

In praise of modern sewing machines

Posted by on
I have seen heaps of praise for older sewing machines. I used to drive an old car, so I can sympathize. When it was running well it was great--good gas mileage, reliable, and really cheap. So if I had an older, workhorse sewing machine, I just know I'd love it too. I would like to heap praise on my new-ish, low end Kenmore sewing machine. But when I was a kid, my Nana had one of those 70s models, a Kenmore. It was lost in the selling or her house. But I can tell you, it never ran well. In fact, I was never allowed to touch it, since the timing seemed to go screwy if you looked at it funny. Maybe all it needed was the right tune up, but I don't quite believe it. Sewing machines, like cars, can just be lemons, after all. The right older car is a marvel, but plenty of them suck, too. When I wanted a sewing machine, I read the message boards and reviews. An older, metal machine from the 70s, seemed to be the consensus. So I looked at secondhand shops and on Craigslist and whatnot.

Peach Skillet Cake

It's quite forgiving. I also cooked it on my gas grill instead of the oven. It would certainly be great with other sweeteners! Preheat the oven to 375. (It's summer in New England - so I preheated my grill!) Set skillet on medium-low heat and add the 2 tbsp butter. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and ground ginger. Whisk together melted butter, milk, Torani syrup and eggs in another bowl or large measuring cup. Whisk the liquid ingredients into fl
