Care and Handling Guide for CDs and DVDs
NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has prepared guides to the archival Care and Handling of CDs and DVDs. There is a longer guide and a one-page summary. I do a weekly backup of my important files to CD, and it is nice to have this information.

The Perfect Pork Chop
I’ve been looking for the perfect pork chop recipe. Our George Foreman grill works well for some things, but dries out pork chops. My criteria for a perfect recipe is that it is easy, not too high in fat, and results in a moist pork chop that can be cut with a fork. Last night, in my quest, I made Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce, which isn’t perfect, but is worth making again. I served it over egg noodles.

It May Never Look this Neat Again
Yesterday evening, I did something I had been planning for quite a while: to change the height of my stamping table so I could work there while standing. My stamping table, which is a panel sitting on two height adjustable trestles, was purchased at Ikea almost two decades ago, and has served many functions over the year.
I’ve set the table at 36.5 inches, which is close to the 36 inch high counters in our kitchen. This is a comfortable working height for me. I spend too much time sitting at my computer, and wanted to be able to stand as a change when I work at my stamping table. At this height, the table allows me to store some stuff under it and free up floor space in my office/stamping room.
Members of my family may recognize the small chest of drawers, which served as my sister’s nightstand several decades ago. I am not sure where it came from (one of Grandmommy’s acquisitions) but it has certainly been useful over the years.
