We were in the East Bay... the sunny side of the Las Trampas. 2.5 acres of landscaped terraced gardens and an almost olympic sized pool. They charge you a base charge for water and then the overage goes up for every 500 gallons. When it is 100+ degrees and you only get rain from December-February... that is the way it is. I am sooooo glad we sold that house!Every time it rains here I smile.
Here we use propane for hot water, dryer, cooking and that is our salvation in the Helco Department, plus we moved to a lot smaller house.
The refried beans freeze well and you can do them with black beans too. I hear you on tortillas. When I lived in Beaufort, SC in the early '80's the only tortillas were CANNED! I kid you not! I had my mom mail them to me from S. CA.
Aloha au i Hawai`i,
