traded an old grinder for a mess of empty brass.
Nobody around here would know what that even means.
"Here", everybody knows. By you, not so much then. I getcha, though.
Sorry, yes, I meant where I live.
I mean I even get that patronizing little smile when I say I cook from scratch and sew. My kids know that if someone asks where they got something (as kids often ask) they smile and say my mom got it for me. lol
No, ma'am; that was on me; I was ribbing you a bit, that's all.
Cook from scratch. Heheh, been a long time since I've heard "from scratch". My neighbor buys whole potatoes already wrapped in ... something .... cellophane, I think .... for baking. Because it's so much more trouble to wash the potato yerself, pierce it and then nuke/bake it. I shake my head, I swear.
