Get Rid of Gmail Icons

I accidentally just discovered that you can get rid of those stupid icons in Gmail and return them to text.

Settings > General > Button Labels > Text

You’re welcome!

And…. I’ve Got Daffodils

March 22 was when daffodils first appeared last year, looks like the very end of March in 2009 (I don’t seem to have gotten the first daffodils every year in the past.)

Weekend Travels: DC Monuments

We took a long weekend and spent two days wandering around the Washington DC Mall. Although it was cool, the weather was so lovely we spent almost all our time outside.

We so most of the major monuments, including the WWII Memorial and the MLK Jr Memorial, neither of which was on the Mall last time we visited.

The Washington Monument is visible from just about everywhere.

Tasty Tuesday: Butterscotch Pudding

This week, I made butterscotch pudding. Except, I used bourbon instead of scotch, because bourbon is what I have in the house.

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
8 egg yolks
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon bourbon or scotch

I’d feel bad about never having been to the WV Botanic Garden before, except it’s relatively new.

Sunday Flower Pr0n: Early March Is Tricksy

Yesterday, we had a high of 58F. Today, we’re calling for snow. Not really snow of course, just flurries.

But on a more serious note, my first daffodil pictures last year were March 22. Everything is blooming crazy early this year.
