Out of the Ordinary

We did something we don't usually do tonight. We watched one of the PBS begathon programs. This was was quite good - a special for Pete Seeger's 90th birthday. If it shows up on your PBS station, give it a watch. Such good music! And incredible guests.

Have you ever used one of the rice bags that you can heat for a warm pad on your neck? They're easy to make - use a tube sock, and fill it about 1/2 to 2/3 full of plain rice (uncooked, please). Then tie a knot in the open end. You'll have to figure out how much rice works. That's all there is to it. I heat mine about a minute in the microwave. But you can use it cold, too.
