Both of my kids bought small houses last fall. One is 800 sf and the
other is 850 sf, both have yards which really help take the pressure
off living in small spaces. Make a patio area ASAP so you'll have an
outdoor room.

As far as the inside of your house, HGTV is right. A lot of grunt
work, some paint and new hardware.... you've got a brand new house.
If you're interested, I can send you links to some of their
renovations. Let me amend that, I know DD has her kitchen redo up on
picassa. You have no idea how far $5,000 can go!

I wonder if one food processed the pollock, like for fish sticks, then
made balls, patties, sticks or whatever, and breaded them, whether
they'd stay together. Hmmm?

You're at his beck and call because you don't tell him to get up off his
lazy ass and get it himself. :-))) I've cured David of that.

We have a back deck, and I'd like to expand the basement under the back
yard, but don't know if the city will let us. I'd love to build all
underground, for heating/cooling efficiency.

Oh it's really nice inside. Natural marble floor in the bathroom.
Hotel carpet (wool) with a giant 4' ornate pattern. The trim is painted
to accent the walls, none of which are white, the closet being the
kitchen, which is about the color of unbleached muslin, with a very
light blue trim. From the doorway between the kitchen and living room,
you can see 5 different colors of paint, and there's another color in
the bathroom. I put parquet on the kitchen floor, and the living room
has a little Franklin stove.

The basement is another story. It's unfinished, and the foundation
leaks, so I'm getting the yard to drain away from the house. I'm going
to win the battle of the leaky basement. I've also got a sump pump, and
my nephew owns a small jackhammer.

Yes, of course, except that I'd prefer to use a mincer/grinder, or just
chop up the fish very finely with a knife. One can make rissoles,
croquettes, or quenelles and use various kinds of breading or flouring.
Rice flour is very nice for this type of things. One can also make a
filling with, say, fried onions, mushrooms and finely chopped boiled
eggs, or just a classic duxelle, and put it in the centre of the
rissoles, etc.

How about doing kind of a hush puppy thing with them? Dang, you folks have
given me some ideas. I may have to defrost a packet, now and give it a
whirl. (As in food processor. Heck, I just got up, give me a break.)

Back to pollock itself, I've never knowlingly had any except in its faux
crab role. I dunno if I've ever even seen it in the fish department as
something for cooking.

Around here it is sold as "Alaskan Whitefish."
It usually comes as frozen filets in large Ziplock type bags, often as
cheap as $1.99/#.

It was pretty simple really. I do a lot of things for David, as he does
for me. However, we had a talk once, and I told him that no matter what I
was doing, I was doing it because I either needed to or wanted to.
Further, that I am not his servant and he is equally capable of getting and
doing things for himself as I am for myself.

I "nursed" him to the extreme following his quadruple heart bypass surgery
and through his knee replacement surgery. I still "cater" to him in many
ways as is my choosing.

I cook all the meals and the cleaning up afterward. Apart from that, he
now gets his own drinks and snacks if he wants them.
