I've met most of my neighbors, which with such large properties there
aren't a great many... but we are mostly neighborly in rural places,
not so much best buds, we don't socialize but we all get along just
fine, and we'll all stop to chat for a few minutes if we happen to see
each other outside, usually in the driveway. I met that Irish family
because two of their teenage sons will do chores and I pay them...
btw, for $10/hr they'll work a lot harder than cleaning houses. And I
already posted all about the Honeyville steel cut oats several times,
and that I buy them in 50 lb sacks because they cost a whole lot less
per pound than buying them in those fancy schmancy tins imported from
Ireland. Those from Honeyville are grown in Canada, they are
excellent quality, but they come in a heavy paper sack like a C-menta
bag. I must have made a dozen posts about how I cook them in a slow
cooker to save all that stirring... steel cut oats are the only thing
I found a slow cooker good for. About two years ago I lost my
interest in eating oatmeal every day so I gave my slow cooker away. I
still had about ten pounds of steel cut oats left, I mixed it in with
my bird seed... at that time Honeyville steel cut oats cost the same
as I paid for bird seed, less than a dollar a pound.
