Late last year I started updating Electricals in our 1900s Foursquare. Over the 100+ years of this historical house, many families have lived and of course they have done their share of updates to the House’s electrical system.

This tasty dish is fairly easy to make and can be eaten at any meal including breakfast. Traditionally, Okra will be eaten with handmade Roti with or without ghee (I prefer with Ghee). In my case …

The printer I wanted to use is a USB label printer therefore it wasn’t feasible for me to use Jarvis as a print server as it would …
