    refrigerate overnight??

    I'd actually go the second way. I make brioche often, and once I've shaped them, they stay in the fridge overnight and then on the counter for an hour before you pop them into the oven. I think this way they'll taste very fresh.

    Perfumes!! What are Your Favorites..

    I wear one fragrance every day: Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey. If you're ever near one of her stores, I suggest you go in! (I go to the Wynn Las Vegas for mine) These fragrances are made in England, and are quite different than typical perfumes. They don't have that "sneezy" quality that...

    What unusual things do your cats like to play with?

    DH usually stands for Dear Husband My cypress can't get enough of Q-tip cotton swabs! She hangs out on our bathroom counter in the morning, begs for us to turn on the faucet for a drink, and then she grabs a cotton swab and bats it around till it falls on the ground. I have a big closet there...

    I am a NOOB to travel! Airline help please??!!

    I'm in that area, and whenever we have people come visit, rather than making them fly into LAX (most would rather have a root canal), we have them fly into the Ontario airport, around 35 or so miles east of downtown LA. Even though it's an international airport, it's much smaller, cleaner...

    Do any of you use 1-800 Contacts?

    I use lens.com for my son's lenses. 1-800-contacts' prices are about 20% more for the same items (he has 1 reg, 1 w/astig.) One more thing - when ordering from somewhere like this, do a google search like "lens.com coupon code" or "1-800-contacts discount". I do this for nearly all my online...

    Dog suddenly peeing in the house

    That poor baby!! First thought is to take Maggie to the vet, she needs attention now. She may have a tract infection or worse. That said, it could be either sickness, or a reaction to a new surrounding/pet/person/event. Dogs pick up on so much. Has her owner had any major changes lately?

    Question of the Day - Aug 8th Friday

    I'm not a fan either. Although, it makes me wonder if the typer is lazy, or is only able spell phonetically!

    Fashion advice needed! :)

    You've gotten some great advice so far! The ideas I had immediately, were (and this was already said, but it's worth repeating) in the office, wear a simple, solid color (not black - that's not best for daytime) shift dress (one that hits around the knee, but not any higher, with a low, but...

    Kitty freaked out from earthquake

    My poor baby is still acting so scared! I heard earlier that we've already had 90 aftershocks, and even though we don't notice them much, I know the animals do. She doesn't even want to go outside with me today, and that's her favorite morning activity! (She watches hummingbirds while I water...

    still SCARED....

    I know I'm new here, but there's another thing you may want to consider: If there is anyone living in your building that has cat allergies, every time a heater or air conditioner is turned on, you may be spreading the cat dander to them. I suggest you come clean to the landlord, especially...

    Apparently she likes salmon...

    My Cypress isn't a catnip girl, but a wonderful member here suggested honeysuckle wood. Well, I ordered her a playmat, which she sort of likes, but inside the box was a teeny-tiny ziploc baggie with a free sample of freeze dried salmon. I gave her one and she liked it, and then I set it in the...

    Kitty freaked out from earthquake

    oh, it is so nice getting help from cat people!!! Normally I'd just close the laundry room's door, but that's where we have my dog's food and water. But, I think I will start putting our big water gallons on top of the dryer, to perhaps change her mind about leaping back there! BTW, after I'd...

    OMG We just had a huge Earthquake.

    I'm really close to Chino Hills too - neither of my animals jumped till I felt it (usually the dog knows way in advance) I think it's because it was such a booming jolt. Stuff fell off of shelves, but nothing too bad. Out here, we lost cell phone service till about 10 minutes ago. Did that...

    Kitty freaked out from earthquake

    My meanine cat has been a really sweet girl now for about 4 days (thanks to the great advice I rec'd here!). Anyway, we had a 5.4 earthquake about an hour ago, and she freaked out, ran down the stairs, and jumped, not on top of, but over and behind the clothes dryer. I finally found her, scared...
