A beef and Guinness pie

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349437) • Rockingham, Australia 31 Mar

I mentioned in a comment that our friend brought a beef and Guinness pie for us to eat and someone asked what it was. Pies are something I take very much for granted so I wasn’t sure what I needed to explain. Maybe it’s like an...

Marie Coyle I actually had this once in a pub type of diner in Chicago. It had really tender small chunks of beef, a rich sauce/gravy that did taste delicious, and it also had tiny little potato chunks in it. They did call it Guinness Pie. I am not a beer drinker, but I...

More Done Today.

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (113722) • Marion, Ohio 20h

I have the cabinet almost empty now and the stuff packed away. I will try setting up at the farmers market maybe this year and see if some of it will sell. That would be nice. I placed some root starters on my rose bush...

Marie Coyle As usual, you got a lot done. I stayed here with my son for the last two days, we didn't go anywhere as he isn't feeling very well right now. I did go outside and tidy up the yard from all the wind, the stuff that blew past and decided to rest in the yard, and...

Back from dinner with my mother

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122085) • United States 20h

My mother hasn't been in my apartment in like 4 years. My sister once called it a "$hithole". My mother's excuse has been that she has breathing problems and at one point had a collapsed lung. Funny that she has no problem...

Marie Coyle Of course, I don’t know your mother, but I don’t think I understand why she treats you the way she does. You are a daughter to be proud of and she should be happy about that! I’m glad you made it through the dinner, I know you were dreading that. Also glad you...

Does anybody here grow bush beans?

snowy @snowy22315 (186886) • United States 31 Mar

I have these bush bean seeds, but I have never grown these before I don't know a thing about them. I would appreciate helpful information about growing. I will probably plant sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Marie Coyle Bush beans have always been very easy for me to grow. Just plant in rows, they grow very quickly. They also keep producing beans for quite some time, which is nice. So good, I love them.

How far will you go for a prescription?

Amber @AmbiePam (96717) • United States 22h

My sweet, long suffering father drove me to Tulsa this morning to pick up a prescription of mine. Yes, we drove 2 1/2 hours because it was the closest pharmacy that makes it. They said they can’t ship it because it has to remain...

Marie Coyle What a sweet picture of your incredible nieces! Well, I can sympathize for sure. I have driven so many miles to get meds for my son. It’s not cheap and it’s certainly not convenient!! I’m sorry you and your Dad had to make the drive, but at least there was...

The second student rescheduled. . . again

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122085) • United States 23h

This is frustrating. I already have so many hours scheduled and I'm waiting on hearing about 2 other students who have makeup hours to do. I had 2 hours scheduled every afternoon this week. Oh well. I'll figure something out. If...

Marie Coyle So irritating. Some may sometimes have a valid excuse, but more than likely they just don’t want to do the work involved. Sad.

Marie Coyle This sounds like the pharmacy nightmares I go through for my son, but our problem is that the medications he needs often do not arrive when they are supposed to, and the pharmacies do not get them. Then it will be all good for a few months, then it starts up...

I am eating an apple the size of a baseball!

snowy @snowy22315 (186886) • United States 31 Mar

This is a really good, sweet apple. I don't usually eat apples this big. It is yummy though. Do you ever eat big apples? Do you enjoy them? This apple just has a lot of flavor.l I haven't had one this flavorful for quite awhile...

Marie Coyle I love a good, fresh apple, that's crunchy-crispy and flavorful. I've had a lot of varieties, there are so many good ones. If I have apples that are not super crunchy, they end up getting cooked into a dessert or applesauce. Fresh ones are the best!

Wants vs. Need

Angie @andriaperry (118583) • Anniston, Alabama 30 Mar

Everyone wants stuff but what if we only got what we need? I've been working towards the budget of needs only. It's a true lifestyle change, for sure. It's a total new way of looking at life. Not just going back to minimalism...
