Dear Heloise: I love scalloped potatoes, but sometimes make too much. So I like to take the leftover scalloped potatoes and turn them into potato soup in a big soup pot. Since the potatoes are already cooked and seasoned with chicken broth, milk, salt, garlic and onions, the whole recipe takes only a short time to prepare for dinner. I like to add finely chopped celery, carrots and maybe some diced ham if I have it in the house. The amount of milk you add depends on the amount of potatoes you have, but make sure it has that thick, rich taste. There are no exact measurements to this soup; you just experiment until you’re satisfied with the results, and the results are always delicious! Add a salad and some warm rolls to the dinner, and you have a healthy, hearty meal. April P., San Antonio, Texas

A true tour de force, Mama s Gun is that rare sophomore album that shows a maturing artist at her best. Erykah Badu s voice was always her main attraction its unique sound has been compared to Billie Holiday and Chaka Kha.
more »n. Here, it s her skill with that voice that shines. Badu shapes her instrument to suit her material (all of it written or cowritten by her). A full range is represented: On faster, danceable tracks like Penitentiary Philosophy and Booty, she sounds gritty and funky. On softer, more introspective tracks, like A.D. 2000 and the single Bag Lady, she shows amazing restraint, letting her voice travel lightly over the notes, allowing the songs emotions to guide her performance. The high point of the disc is Badu s duet with Stephen Marley, In Love with You, easily the sweetest, truest love song of the year. That alone is reason enough to buy the disc and you won t regret having done
STL239: Are expensive sanders worth it?
Anissa, Barry, and Ben discuss milling box stock, the cure for chasing perfection, if high-end sanders really perform better, and what a listener can make with a cherry burl. Apr 23, 2021
From Kyle:
I live in a very small apartment and getting any kind of big power tool (even a drill press!) is out of the question. So I’m really going down the handtools route. I’m also focusing on fairly small projects (besides my moravian workbench that can be taken apart). I’ve been getting most of my wood as scraps from a commercial shop.
