Oh, I am so ready for winter. All this summer nonsense with trying to keep cool is making me crazy. Give me the cold! And also the candles and hot drinks that I will use to heat my spouse and my house!!
I was thinking about hot drinks the other day and was wondering how I could keep my coffee piping hot in my freezing cold house during the winter. (Sorry, Lloyd.) I didn’t want a plug-in warmer, since that goes against my eco-freakiness. That leaves …. fire. I searched on the internet for warmers that use tea lights as fuel and almost bought one that heats up a teapot, but then thought surely I could cobble something together myself. As luck would have it, I saw the votive holder that Brad brought this summer. It’s called Oregano and it’s perfect for my mugs! This won’t work with my flat-bottomed mugs – they’ll slide right off. Woo-hoo! C’mon, winter!
*sigh* When will we get an IKEA in Nebraska?
I wonder if you could cook pizza that way.
So, the light box as a bust?
was, not as.
Dnag. And it was funny before the stupid typo.
We want you to feel free to come to MD to our Ikea any time.
To any of our Ikeas.
Ours too!
Amen! Come on winter … & I wonder if my house is colder than yours … I have a few extra of these that my family puts on upon entering the house, if you want me to send Lloyd one:

Nuthin’ like adding some extra CO2, etc., to our global “warming” problem!
Is the waste that you accumulate from the little metal non-recyclable tea light holders equal to the energy that you use with the electric cup holder?
Aren’t you worried you’ll get candle soot on the table, your desk or a countertop?
I can see that like all great artists, no one will recognize my genius until I am dead.
I think you’re a genius. (Can I get some of the proceeds for early recognition?)
Suck up!
