Great Tip No. 38: when you forget to send a card or gift, there’s always YouTube

A birthday message for my BFF, Molly.

FYI: We did this with no rehearsal and in one take. I KNOW. That’s going to be a tough one to swallow.

    PS I made your chililicous recipe last night for my family and it was a success. My husband said he would be happy eating it once a week. Looks like we have a new favorite. Thanks.

    Of all the things that make me like you (and there are many) my fave to date has got to be that you have no problem posting video that shows your toilet in the background.

    As a fellow old-house resident who has taken more fantastic snapshots that feature our downstairs bathroom toilet (conveniently located right off the dining room and visible from nearly EVERY point on the entire first floor) than you can really even imagine – I salute you.

    I think it is an underappreciated art!

    My children will never want for warm memories of their downstairs commode …
