They're both on the 1st floor so both would probably have ave foot traffic. I'm more worried about people walking in the apartment above mine! I trust your judgment about the kitchens. Either one would be fine with me (I like #1's better but then again I like #1 better). I absolutely need to learn to cook. The view. Wow! I wonder what being exposed to that view from the ground to the bay to the sky every day and night n all kinds of weather would be like to experience. It would probably be very, very relaxing and peaceful. I'd take #1. If #1 was off the market and #2 was for sale I'd make an offer. Iirc, it's been on the market for a long time. The architecture of the #2 complex wins hands down.

Checking my books you're correct, its Sarah. Of the three books I have on Cornish, perhaps the best is 'The Quintessential Cornish' by Mcmanners & Wales which includes intimate family subjects, for example this [image: 1771109412894-20260214_224832.jpg] Looking forward to others sharing, there's so much art I don't know

I went to happy hour at The Davidson downtown Cincy Wednesday night. Outstanding appetizers, small plates and entrees at rock bottom prices, plus very well-chosen, delicious Italian white, red and prosecco as house pours at $5 a glass. It can be done.

@Axtremus Thank you!!! Seeing that site, now I remember it! I love your version! I just played your recording for my friend who teaches Chinese in my dept. He started singing! Maybe I'll learn it and have him sing it with me. He said they teach that to the first year Chinese students in the fall semester.

Made this last night, 2/3 of the 1/2 recipe. Only had half a pound of mushrooms so i added green peas. Delicious, and half a cup of rice was more than enough for the two of us. Would easily have fed four as a side dish. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/85389/gourmet-mushroom-risotto/

Speaking of Madonna, she was probably in the best shape of her career as a dancer and stadium performer at the time this video was made. Link to video I saw a live performance she gave in Italy around this time and it was great. Old person note: some of us are old enough to remember Times Square before it was gentrified. : leaving :

I say I have no arguments to defeat any of his points, sadly.

It seems to me to be decorated the way new high end London apartments are decorated. The aspects that stood out the most to me were: the darkness of it (I don't mean gloom; I just mean darkness); New York apartments don't have this aesthetic,... and, the light fixtures looked to me like the ones you see in new high end London apartments.

I have never seen any of those flavors here. Pity.

I have a daughter intending to relocate to Hokkaido later this year. I'm looking forward to visiting them and learning a tiny bit of the language.

@ShiroKuro If you can’t bear ‘em…

@Steve-Miller said in What do you think of this house?: Last project at Kim’s house Yay!! Congratulations!

Looks great. I generally reject crockpot recipes too, and I also prefer them simpler rather than tricked out with fat.

I heard that story on NPR the other day. Well traveled bird!

I associate croutons more with Caesar salad than soup. Oyster crackers or saltines are what I amend soup with more frequently. Dried bread cubes are most likely to become bread pudding or a strada in our home. Big Al
