    @Piano-Dad Yes, I know how to reach you. We do have some folks who signed up and who have either never posted or haven't posted in a long time. I don't want to pester them with updates unless they want to be pestered. You can choose the option to hide your email address from casual observers, but people with superpowers can see that info. Mostly I just wanted to know who wants to be notified if we have a major outage. Additionally, a few folks who signed up early might not have had to provide an email address to create a user ID because registration was open and didn't require authorization by an admin or mod. Eventually we locked the door and deleted all the spammers who had signed up while this was the backup site. I just wanted people to check their profile and see if they have an email addy where they can be reached.

    What an interesting facade. I counted four different window styles, and the portico is offset. Makes it look like there have been changes over the years. But I like it. Nice house, what a location! But I would definitely have do decorate the place. And tear up the wall-to-wall carpeting. Love the stairwell.

    I do agree with Bernard though about the "colors" or lack thereof. I'm not a fan of gray. But the stencils over it make it work for me.

    A small toad has taken residence in the back yard and is driving the dog insane. He’s too quick to get a picture of. Birds are mostly Robins and red-wing blackbirds -very nice. Unfortunately they appear to be feeding at someone’s bird feeder and have distributed Amaranth all over the property. Tough stuff - gonna take a while to get rid of it.

    Our TJ is in one of those modern shopping malls that’s supposed to look like a small town but isn’t. Street parking is always full and the parking structures don’t really fit my truck so I rarely go there even though I like their stuff. But now I may have to go back. Looks like TJ has taken the lead as far as cleaning up the ingredients used in their packaged foods. The curry and the butter chicken both have remarkably sensible lists of ingredients and sound like things I need to try. I’ll just have to borrow Sharon’s car.

    @Steve-Miller said in What’s cookin’ good lookin?: @ShiroKuro Exactly. It’s very popular but a lot if people hate it. I'm not a fan of jarlic. Never quite tastes right to me. But I do like kimchi. Tasty and good for you.

    Some new attendees to announce - MarkJ is driving in from Wisconsin! KathyK and some of her family are attending. Klaus, Ax, Bootsy, and Grotriman too. Also Abraham from NY. I forget his old PW handle but those of you who have been to NY area parties have likely met him.

    TJ’s closed their one store in NYC that carried wine. Strange.
