Opening the botttle if vanilla extract
Fav fishing lure
Tetra Min fish food. I put it in the water away from places where I see people fishing with hooks.

YMF comfy spot in your house
My computer chair, a plastic stackable from Walmart.

YMF kitchen gadget?
Stand mixer. Use it for all sorts of things.
YMF thing you bought on a whim.
A little battery operated milk frother.
YMF super inexpensive but useful purchase?
Paper clips. Don’t know why, but we keep running out.
Panache, any favorite Ayn Rand stories? Start a new thread, if you like.
YMF kind of pen?
Candy thermometer. Cost less than three dollars. Use it every time I use the mini deep fryer, because it doesn’t have a gauge, and use it every time I cook with yeast, because it lets me get whatever I’m starting the yeast with to the exact right temperature. I have used it maybe twice for actual candy- making, but I have used it for all sorts of other things. I use it a minimum of twice a week.

$90 for a visa to Qatar, to go outside the air terminal and watch the sun rise over the mosque across the road.

Portland, Maine, from the water, on a Duck tour.
