What type of sans do I have?
Comments (4)Thanks ladies. My sans looks a lot like both the plants you suggested. lol I don't have a good eye for identifying sans. The leaves are about an inch wide and 8 - 9 inches long. I hope I get an offshoot from it eventually. I'd love to have two for extra insurance. It's hard to find anything other than the normal grocery store sans (laurenti?), sometimes birdsnests and moonshines. Moonshines are all over the place now. So I always appreciate being able to have something different. I also have a javanica and a subspicata that I cherish. I got them from the same person who gave me the mystery sans. Thanks for the compliment Norma. I just put the sans in a taller and and slightly narrower glass. It was starting to get a bit tippy and needing more support....See MoreFun Question - What Type Of Art Do You Like For A Dining Room?
Comments (12)I tend to do anything other than food in a "food room" like a dining room just because it's so... expected. I will admit, however, to having a little funky oil painting of a coffee cup in my kitchen. But a still life with fruit? Not for me. Landscapes, yes. I like the idea of sitting down to eat and facing an interesting landscape. When our dining room was a dining room, I had 2 landscapes in there. Now it's a dining/library room and there's not much wall space, but I have a small painting of a house on one wall, and, uh, a silver deer head that's actually a Christmas decoration on another narrow slice of wall. Put it up for the holidays, and couldn't bring myself to put it away when it was post-holiday cleanup time. If I were you, I'd keep looking til you find something that you love, and don't worry too much about the subject matter. Maybe it's a painting of a cow. Or a sofa. Or a flower garden... whatever it is, you'll probably know it when you see it....See Morewhat type of dishes do you like to use in microwave
Comments (20)BE CAREFUL!! You should never heat water in Pyrex in the microwave without a disturber in the water. A bamboo skewer is a good choice. If you don't have something with an irregular surface that the bubbles can form on, the water can look like it's not boiling at all, and can get superheated. The superheated water can explode out of the cup. Pyrex is too smooth. Fine for pie or even soup, but put something tall enough to go from the bottom to the top of the cup in it, if you're going to heat water, or put a spoon in it before doing anything else with it, to let the bubbles out. Pyrex used to be borosilicate glass. You can still get Pyrex branded borosilicate in other countries, with the name licensed by the makers. In the U.S. (PA), it's now made by a separate company from Corning, and is tempered soda-lime glass, which is supposed to be harder to break but less heat resistant. It's not inferior in quality, just different in properties, and Corning was also selling tempered soda-lime glass, besides the borosilicate, for decades before they spun off Pyrex, so age doesn't tell the whole story....See MoreDo you guys like the "Cirque"-type shows in Vegas?
Comments (15)I have been once in Vegas, once on the East Coast and once in Montreal. The Montreal one was far and away the best. In fact, I would go back to Montreal again to see it. All summer long they have nightly free, outdoor performances. I believe they are based in Montreal and started there. Their open air theatre allows them to do much more than what I saw in the other two shows. Jaw-dropping. We waited in line and by the time we got in there were no seats. I have learned this was vastly preferable to being seated! We were standing amid floating stages and we had to follow stage hand directions as the show moved! We could almost touch the performers. Soooooo cool....See More41 North (Zone 7a/b, NE, coastal)
