My old DVD player finally quit, which sent me on a weird trip down memory lane for a show called 'The Adventures of Pete & Pete'

Finally got my great-aunt's sourdough starter to work after a month of fails

I found her old recipe card from 1975, and the key was using bottled water instead of tap. The first real loaf came out of the oven last night, and it smelled just like her kitchen. Anyone else have a family recipe that took forever to figure out?

My weekend getaway turned into a lesson on why you should never ignore weird engine noises

I drove up to the mountains for a quiet weekend. My car had been making a clicking sound for days, but I figured it was fine. At a gas station, a local mechanic peeked under the hood and found a family of chipmunks stashing acorns in my air filter. Can you believe that? Now I check for critters every time I hear something odd.
