And here's what our kitchen looks like now!!
The total cost of my redo was about $20. I spent ~$10 on a 5 gallon bucket of joint compound, and then bought two gallon cans of "oops" paint for $5 each at Home Depot.

So you have been living next to this Jewish family for 27 years. They take their religious practice seriously and you have come to recognize the multifarious rituals.

A long, long time ago my parents allowed me to take from their home an electric donut maker:
(this is post donut making)
I found this Pumpkin Bread mix at Trader Joe's:
Today I decided that it would be interesting to see if I could use the mix to make donuts (I have misplaced the booklet that goes with the donut maker that has the recipes in it- I have it but it is packed somewhere.) This is the result:
I coated them in cinnamon sugar. Let me tell you...they are AMAZING!!!!!
You can find a similar donut maker here:

I think it might make smaller donut but it is the closest thing I could find.

Saltwater taffy, the sweet most associated with the New Jersey shore, owes its name to the candy makers that defended it.
The sticky, chewy candy turns 125 this year.
As shore candy makers will tell you, saltwater taffy is not like any other.

At the end of the tax year the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, 'I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?'

Neither a bailout nor bankruptcy may save General Motors or the other Detroit automakers. So imagine the cost of losing GM, starting with millions of jobs.

Halloween is quickly approaching and I'm at a loss for what to do for a costume. Now, I'm not certain I'm down with the idea of parents dressing up with the tot, but if I decide to dress up, this would certainly fit the bill.
Tell me, do you think I, babysugar, should go for the bun in the oven costume ($45) and have my husband be the bun maker ($24)?

For our office White Elephant gift exchange back at Christmas, my friend Lisa got this Cuisinart Sandwich Maker.
And it's been sitting under her desk for five months now. So today, I convinced her to go to Whole Foods with me so that we could pick up some food and make some sandwiches.
