Conan O'Brien | Last Night On The Tonight Show
Tonight is Conan's last night on the Tonight Show so maybe I'll record it. I think he got a raw deal even though a settlement has been reached. Didn't any of those network people go to grammar school? This is just not done. You don't promise someone something, make them wait 5 years to get it, and then change your mind and take it back. Shame on NBC and Jay Leno too.

Here is a link with 10 homemade laundry soap recipes.
This is a photo of my finished product. I put it in a tall glass jar that once held dry roasted peanuts. It's perfect. I can roll it around and mix everything up to evenly distribute all the ingredients before every load. I have darks in the washer right now. So happy!

Audrey Hepburn Stamp With Quote
I never tire of reading about the inspirational Audrey Hepburn, do you? "Others matter more than you do, so don't fuss, dear, get on with it." Now what could be more to the point and funny too? She was beautiful inside and out. Love her, Rosemary.

No-Knead Bread Video + Recipe
Mark Bittman, a.k.a. The Minimalist, visits The Sullivan Street Bakery and watches Jim Lahey make his famous No-Knead Bread. The secret is letting time do all the work. I've made it and it is easy and delicious. Jim says even a 6 year old can make it.
Recipe and short article from The New York Times. This is great bread using only 4 ingredients. All-purpose flour, yeast (the instant variety), salt, and water. You stir it all up and let it sit. Watch the video and you'll be a pro in no time. This recipe has been around for quite a long time, since 2006. This is for those of you who haven't tried it yet. Winter is the perfect time for some nice crusty bread fresh from the oven. Enjoy, Rosemary.

Extreme Birding | The Big Year | Fowl Obsession
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSplQg-dozLFB-ZcEVQRlJTRVnz9egKCxNtnIbAdzuvFJjFb364JnsTv8gTugyXd47MpBlNIjOQE_NWCqfuR88DzP5uHT0ch12MS5R0jJU_FT8eL6P5vvirjjHgUuZktfvFjBAxaOmaEs/s400/the_big_year.jpg)

It is the tale of many world-class birders in the US who took off for one year to see how many birds they could see. This isn't a sport/hobby for sissies. You have to be tough and it helps to have money because it can be very expensive. Some did it on the cheap and were successful too.
I don't want to ruin it for you but I can promise you will learn a lot about the inside of a true birder's head and be totally entertained with the trials and tribulations of this competitive sport that's so much more than a hobby. Even couch birdwatchers will love it. Go to the library right now and reserve it. I know you'll be happy you did. Rosemary
I blogged about another book on birding but still haven't read LIFE LIST by Olivia Gentile. Maybe that will be next on my list.

I am finally beginning to feel like my old self after the first cold I've had in 3 years. I am not a complainer, I just like to suffer in silence. Now that I'm better, I don't mind telling about it. Webster was the one who suffered the most because his walks were not nearly as plentiful as he would have liked. We played ball yesterday now that all of the snow has melted and that made him very happy. He got the "crazy runs" and made me laugh as he zoomed around at 90 miles an hour. He wore himself out.
Enjoy your Sunday. I know I will. Rosemary
