    I learned you could freeze spaghetti noodles , without sauce, up to 3 months without them losing consistency. Then you just drop them in boiling water for a minute when you take them out of the freezer and drain. I'm not sure how many times I would need this info, but I thought it was interesting. Actually, cooked rice works much the same.

    I learned we had our first frost last nite to the morn, 2c, it's all downhill from here. Maybe the frost will settle the weather for harvesting.

    :D I should have been more specific, Micki.

    It deals the same cards maybe once every 100 games (just a guess).

    Not the same cards over and over. But, hey, that might be fun too! LOL

    I learned that I don't know how to use a dishwasher. Unless I'm the dishwasher.

    Today has been a good day. I learned how to crack an egg correctly. I've been doing it incorrectly all these years.

    I also learned what borborygmi is. ;):D

    Yep, all these years I've been cracking them on the edge of the frying pan or something. Also, don't stir scrambled eggs with a metal spatula, use a plastic one. I'm sure the world is a better place for me knowing that. :D

    Look up borborygmi. The exercise will do your fingers good. :p
