8 June 2018 - I Need a Vacation

"Wish You Were Here"

"A new kind of vacation has become popular in recent years. Two families exchange homes for the vacation period - and both benefit."

This is the premise of one of my favorite movies The Holiday


In this 2006 movie, our main characters go onto a website called HomeExchange.com.
They decide they want away from their tormented lives on Christmas so they vacation in each others homes for the Christmas Holiday.

It's an adorable movie that ends all cuddly and romantically.

Our Almanac suggests that if you wish to try this out you should join the Vacation Exchange Club!

In the 1970's, this was a directory of people who were all part of this home exchange club.
It featured homes around the world so you could swap homes with people from different backgrounds.
This is also a chance for you to visit far off places and check off some countries from your bucket list.

Home Exchange is still operating today.
You do have to pay to join, just like in the 70's, to become a member.

...

You know what!?

I would totally do this!

Mi casa es su casa!

What if....

Hear me out.

They did another movie like this and it was Bruce Wayne who exchanged homes with another person.
He gets tired of being Batman and wants to go on a vacation.

So he does the home exchange.

BUT 

The person who is vacationing in Wayne Manor accidentally finds the Bat Cave.
Before they can freak out that they are in Batman's house, the Bat Signal goes off.

What happens when Gotham needs a hero but that hero is on vacation?

Our protagonist steps up to the call of duty.
Puts on the Batsuit, drives the Batmobile, and is fighting crime.

The title of the film is...


BE THE BATMAN

This is me people.
This is where my brain goes at the end of the day.

15 February 2018 - The Mustard Mix

This History of Mustard "The delights of mustard as a food accompaniment apparently had been known only a few years before the appearance of the advertisement described in today's historical note." TODAY IN HISTORY On February 15 1768, one Benjamin Jackson advertised in a Philadelphia newspaper that he was "the only mustard manufacturer on the continent. I brought to art with me into the country."  Mr. Jackson came to America from London, England. He sold his product labeled in glass bottles. Benjamin Jackson, from the book Chocolate: History, Culture, and Heritage, was a chocolate and mustard maker. He introduced mustard into his chocolate shop where he also sold other spices and flours. Now the mustard he sold was not like the mustard we have today. He sold bottles labeled "Flour of Mustard" which means that you had to follow the directions on the bottle to mix the powder with hot water to create your condiment. Mustard...

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!

5 February 2018 - The Christmas Star

Store Poinsettia Soon Did you get one of these flowers for Christmas? If so and you haven't thrown it away or killed it, it is soon time to do something else with it. This Almanac entry is about taking care of that red plant. I don't garden. Let me clarify I can garden. I choose not to. Once upon a time I had a vegetable garden and it was amazing. The best tomatoes, organic produce, crazy long green beans, and some fresh basil. Now when a weed came and destroyed everything and all my hard work was gone I just put my gloves and shovel down exclaiming "I QUIT!" .... If you care to keep your plant around for next Christmas you can follow these instructions here. .... URBAN LEGENDS Now there is a myth that the plant is toxic. There is an urban legend that states a child died from eating the leaves of the plant.  In truth the poinsettia isn't toxic enough to kill a person. Eating it can cause an ...
