How did you discover the GW and/or KT?

Like Alexis, we were purchasing a new home. It was in a very different climate zone so I was trying to educate myself on what I could plant. I found the California gardening forums. I was getting frustrated over there, feeling Like I was being talked down to because I didn't know all the botanical names. Someone was talking about how much friendlier and welcoming the KT was so I checked it out. I still remember which thread I made my first comment to. It was a "what's your favorite fragrance" thread. That was 2002 and I still wear the same perfume. Beautiful by Estee Lauder. And I don't go to the other forum anymore.

Lucky is Sparky! Good for you that it did a great job on the mess, Lisa! Lillipad: No, do NOT use "baking" soda in place of washing soda. Sc-irish: I have a front loader & use it & it works fine. The original recipe, which calls for diluting with 1/2 water and 1/2 gel on the second day, says to use 1/2 cup for top load wash and 1/4 cup for front loader. I, myself, wash big loads, so I use a 1/2 cup in my front loader. Adjust accordingly if you decide not to dilute with water. Important to know also.... This detergent DOES NOT PRODUCE SUDS, but cleans your clothes great. The white vinegar(acid) rinse is important to know, as the detergent is alkaline & is thus neutralized.

Quote for Update from K&T - Is this right?
Q

So ye' can tell K&T wiring by the "clicks" of the light switches...? That's one funny plumber. Your wiring's old, no question. Heck, your house is old. You knew that going in, so quit griping about the realtor, will ye'. OK, so you can't afford a whole-house re-do just now, and welcome to the club. It's a big club. From where I sit, I can't say if your electrican's price is reasonable or not because I ain't looking at the place, but I will say this: when you can't do everything, you gotta' prioritize, and some of your needs will be more immediate than others. Again, that's a facile thing to say - liabilities being what they are, many a contractor won't even touch a K&T house without a bottom-up re-do. Fool that I am, I don't work that way. I inspect, carefully record my findings, and make recommendations based upon what illegal/outmoded conditions present an immediate hazard, versus others which are less scary. Please understand one important point. Electrically, your house ain't divided into floors, it's divided into branch circuits. That's branch, as in tree-branch, or branches of a stream, and it's a d*mn fine choice of words. The branch circuits come together at one place, your service panel (aka breaker-panel), and branch out from there. What floor they are on is far less important than how they get from place to place inside your walls (or upside the out-door walls) to where they need to be. Lot going on here, and as I said, I ain't looking at it. My point is this: in all but the most extreme cases, there's rarely a need to yank an entire system out and shoot it, all at one time.

Awwww! Thanks all! I just got back from Baltimore. When I was driving over yesterday afternoon, I would have rather had a GYN appointment than go to the meeting! LOL But it turned out very good. First thing we had to do was a "problem solving inventory/survey". I started laughing at some of the questions and had to explain to everyone (only 6 of us int he room) that I was a month into comps remediation and my problem solving skills "went out the window" about a week ago. Most of the ladies had a PhD and shared what they went through. The training was about a program to help people problem solve their barriers to healthy eating and physical activity. Was quite interesting but my brain turned off around 2:30 so I missed the last hour and a half- will have to read up on it again next week,lol. Stoney, I wish I could send it to you. Most of my "freak out" Monday/Tuesday was because I found out being able to "use any resource" did not include letting a human read over what I had written. Created some panic and additional frustration. My advisor was fine and told me not to worry but I was so close to the fragile mind stage that I "tipped right on over". I seem to be running one good "freak out" every two years or so and I hope this one will hold me for a while. I am off to work on those rewrite for a few hours before bed and will keep everyone posted. Janie, who is printing all the support to keep reading over the weekend!

Pattico if I find a recipe needing only 2 or three tablespoons I usually buy the smallest container and if I am not going to whip up the rest for a shortcake or sundaes I freeze it. In two tbsp or three as the recipe calls for, I put it in an ice cube tray until frozen and pop them all in a small airtight plastic container. Then I take out as much as I need and will let it thaw in the fridge, only takes a little while and whisk it as it looks separated a bit, but there is no difference in the flavor or texture when used in a recipe.(or else keep making that recipe you posted in multiple batches until it is gone cause it looks yummy!!!)

where do the chopped pecans go...on top of the graham crackers or on top of the caramel sauce?

Glenda, it was so kind of you to respond, especially when your son was in surgery. I'm glad it went well!

Joann, you won't be sorry if you make the french toast. I forgot to mention that I increased the cinnamon to a full tablespoon. I'm keeping the Ultimate Breakfast Casserole recipe for Easter. Thank you for it!

Pattico, thanks for sharing your pecan bar recipe. They look downright dangerous!

I made a few KT recipes...YUM!
