    Some techniques that might save a bit of time in the kitchen. Or might not. I want to learn the trick of bashing two potatoes together over a bowl and instantly converting them to slices or mash. That would be very handy. And I don't recall seeing the eraser trick for peeling a potato, though the preview pic seems to show that.

    I'm guessing that the stuff to the curb is for Monday pickup ? They must come early where You are, I put ours out the morning of the pickup on my way out the door walking usually or on my return home.

    Actually, they usually don't come early, but they DO insist that it be out there before 7:00 a.m. all the same. Sometimes they come early, but I have no idea how they schedule it as I've had them come first thing in the morning or even after dark in the evening!

    I think someone sometimes (maybe every time?) does a drive by around 7:00 in the morning to estimate how much garbage there is and perhaps decide how many trucks to schedule to get it all. I remember a time when I didn't get them out by 7:00 and got a nastygram left on the bin reminding me I had to get it ready by then!

    I am not going to get all that together first thing in the morning while half awake and if I'm going to get it ready the night before, I might as well go ahead and roll it out to the curb. Most of the neighbors do the same as they apparently aren't going to do that first thing in the morning either.

    Hi guys!
    I watched Emmy make Focaccia! Now I'm starving! Will watch here other video later, or else I might eat the cat or whatever else I could catch! LOL

    Had a great nights sleep, so far this morning I've been at this computer.

    Got my delivery from Amazon by truck already this morning. (complete with pix of package on my porch)...I really like that.

    Heading to the kitchen to actually DO the one thing I've not done already....going to press a block of tofu. Honest, I really am....uh huh....

    Its supposed to get up to 58 sunny degrees today....but the wind needs to calm down! Tom has been inspecting the houses he 'patrols'! He's honestly got a dog gene or two. Still waiting for him to bark.

    Ok, off to the kitchen this witch said......

    Later...

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 33 degrees. There was a breeze blowing that caused a cold wind chill.

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 7C/44F with an expected high of 14C/57F and 0% chance of precipitation.

    I need to feed the felines and I need to get out to buy kitten food for Orion (canned) and cat food for Lilo (canned) but want to try a new flavor for Lilo that our closest PetSmart doesn't carry. I will travel a bit further afield and try the nearest PetCo to see if they have it.

    I could order it online but I have to buy it by the case, and the price is staggering. As she hasn't tried that flavor (the whole point of buying it) I am not about to buy a case and then find out she doesn't like it. If I can't get just a can to try, then she won't be trying it at all.

    She's not too crazy about the two canned flavors of her special diet that are readily available at the vet or the nearby PetSmart and I would like to get one she actually likes if I can. They make a plain, tuna pate flavor and she generally likes tuna so I'm looking for a can of that flavor. She's an old kitty and deserves to have food that she actually likes, if it can be found. Fortunately she does like the kibble that's available from the vet (chicken flavor), but I would like her to be eating more canned food and she doesn't like the chicken pate that they have there or the alternate, vegetable and tuna stew from PetSmart, though she does like tuna. I think it's the veggie part that turns her off.
    Hi Ed
    That makes a lot of sense, trying a new flavor before buying a case. Cats get to eat Pate ? I'm guessing, once again that it is actually meat in a paste flavor rather than real Pate.

    I would also turn my nose up at Vegetable & Tuna Stew :smiley:

That would be very handy. And I don't recall seeing the eraser trick for peeling a potato, though the preview pic seems to show that.
    Until watch this one I will reserve judgement on if they are useless tricks or just a trick...

    Ha, They come when they come here too, The worst offender being the Separate day Recycle pick up, They come at any time after 7AM to 7PM :(

    I get reminded to put mine out when I am walking and see others at the curb. For the garbage, I usually get it ready the night before and put it in the can on the porch and then put it out on my return. Even in a can I sometimes see neighbors knocked over in the night and torn open so I put it out in the morning.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Valerie
    That is the problem with watching Videos dealing with food, That being the cravings they can cause :blush:

    I don't think the Picture of the delivered item works with Firefox or maybe all browsers, Since I use Firefox and occasionally the Microsoft Browser. Usually I use the MS browser to look up items on Amazon and hope they do not notice it is me.

    Nice and warm compared to here.

    I got woke up a little before 3AM by what sounded like a Cats squall followed shortly by other cat type noises for a while and never did manage to fall asleep again :(

    Have a Good Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 4C/40F with an expected high of 15C/59F and 0% chance of precipitation.

    I've given Lilo her Tuesday shot, but still need to feed the cats and clean up yesterday's cat bowls. And I need to call the dentist as I need to have at least one tooth looked at. I can already say that it will either need a large filling or possibly a root canal. If it needs a root canal, I'm hoping that they can re-use the existing crown. This, of course, assumes I have the right tooth in mind as sometimes the pain seems to be one place but is originating somewhere else.

    I'm hoping they can fit me in today. I may have managed 2 hours or so of poor sleep during the night as being horizontal magnified the pain to un-sleepable proportions for the majority of the night, despite what pain relief I was able to apply. There were some short periods where I managed to not feel the pain for a while and snooze fitfully. Since I was pretty aware of a problem fairly early in the evening, dinner last night was Farfalle a la Vodka, using vodka sauce from a jar. It was pretty good, and may inspire Eduardo to try making a vodka sauce from scratch, though I know there are difficulties with getting cream and tomato sauce to live happily together without either too much heat or too much acid (or both) causing some curdling. Eduardo may have to just forego such efforts.

    If I get out to the dentist, may pick up a few grocery items on the way home. Our dentist is right across the street from our Kroger. :)

    And I have yesterday's laundry to fold and put away. The first load is sitting on the machines in the laundry room and the second is in the dryer, drying.

    UPDATE:

    I have a dentist appointment now at 11:00 this morning. Yay?

    Well, the dentist has referred me to an endodontist for that probably root canal. We are 99% sure on which tooth, and I'm hoping that we can save the crown and re-use it rather than have to make a new one.

    Dentist gave me a prescription for antibiotics and a prescription for pain. I took a Lortab just before my lunch a few minutes ago and will need to lie down shortly. Hopefully I'll be able to get a nice LONG nap in.

    Hi Guys!
    Its been a good day, busy, but enjoyable. I slept for Ed...I finally woke at nearly 10 a.m.! Needless to say, that made for a somewhat ? shorter day, and being Tues...Jack calls at 4 p.m...more shortness!
    Went to the gym, got re-schooled on how to use the Row Machine., and we messed with the hand bicycle, and the other thing doesn't have a name...and we're not quite sure what its purpose is!!!! But, we've got it! LOL!
    Then I did some rowing for about 3 minutes and stopped...the row machine properly used, works you entire back and I for sure didn't want to over do...then I beat it to Walmart for Tom E.'s stock of canned and dry food to get 'us' thru til January! I also found this fuzzy, weird coat like thing, in night wear area...it was a whole 12 bucks, and I have been so, so warm!!!! This is going to be great! My hands are warm!!!! WooHoo! Talked with Jack..we talked about O not being able to read cursive. Jack said he was shocked too. Hope he does something about that. While talking with Jack, I realized I was really hungry..it was about 5:30 and the only thing I'd eaten all day was my morning banana!!!! Needless to say, after we hung up a meal was fixed...and eaten!

    Ed, I am so sorry about your tooth. That's a terrible bummer. Like 'Merry Christmas from the Grinch?' Hope they can reuse the crown for you too.

    Roger, yikes it was cold at your house, well outside your house this morning. Hopefully it warmed up quite a bit as the day progressed.

    Enjoyed the Emmy video's, and the Jaffa Cake, which I'd never heard of....nice mix of flavors, no doubt they are good. Pretty much shows you can Veganize most anything!!

    I'm tired, believe it or not...Tom's eaten, kitchen is cleaned and I'm heading for my room and some sleep.

    Later...

    Oh, oh oh...Roger....the pictures of the delivered packages are on my phone...text messages. That's why you don't have them on your computer.

    Hi Ed
    Ouch, If You are like me You could not sleep sitting up or in a recliner either. I need to be Horizontal or sleep eludes me.

    Vodka Sauce is that hard to make, I never thought about it nor do I recall ever having had it on Pasta or any dish.
    If I get out to the dentist, may pick up a few grocery items on the way home. Our dentist is right across the street from our Kroger. :)

    And I have yesterday's laundry to fold and put away. The first load is sitting on the machines in the laundry room and the second is in the dryer, drying.

    UPDATE:

    I have a dentist appointment now at 11:00 this morning. Yay?
    Yay, That is a good question that I think I would come down on the side of the pain relief :wink:

    More Laundry in addition ? When I am in pain pretty much nothing gets done.
    36 dishes in 36 hours challenge. Surely some of these will be vegetarian or vegan.
    I will know for sure if this is eating or cooking and eating, I'll know after I watch the video later :smiley:

    Hi Valerie
    You are so lucky, I wish I could sleep in like that. I seem to keep waking up a little earlier each week and having trouble falling back to sleep :(

    If it works the back 3 minutes is likely more than enough. Still no name for the one machine, They do not know what it is called despite it being installed in their location ? No Packing list or manual that could ID it ?

    If I said warm is good, Congratulations on finding a economical night wear. Is it worth going for a spare for when the one needs to be washed ?

    This year with prodding from his nutritionist my brother has added some fruits to his diet, Bananas and Apple, she told him to cut back on the Bananas and add in other fruits, Not Mr. Stubborn. He is also being pushed to eat more vegetables. Most of the ones he eats are fried onions and or Mushrooms at breakfast. Most of the ones he will eat are on the proscribed list due to interactions with Meds.
    Ed, I am so sorry about your tooth. That's a terrible bummer. Like 'Merry Christmas from the Grinch?' Hope they can reuse the crown for you too.

    I am less than happy when it is cold and windy, Yikes fits :smiley: The wind never really dies down until around Sundown.

    That would explain why I never see them. So many companies seem to think everybody has a smart phone, Things like Amazon and Offers that sound good but that with my Dumb Phone and no texting either will not happen for me.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 4C/40F with an expected high of 13C/56F and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Need to feed the felines and clean up yesterday's cat bowls. Then maybe a short nap before heading to the endodontist this afternoon. Maybe stop for a grocery item or two on the way home.

    I didn't stop anywhere but Walgreens yesterday on the way home, because I seriously wanted a pain pill and a nap. When the pharmacy tech asked if I was dropping off, I replied that no, I was waiting because had been up all night and "I need a Lortab NOW!" and about 20 minutes later I was heading home with my prescriptions. A (generic) Lortab, antibiotic, and light lunch later and I was down for the count.

    I slept better last night and even managed to get through the night without having to take another pain pill in the wee hours, though I did wake up from some pain, at about the time I could have taken another, and considered it. Why can't they make these things time released or something so that they last longer than 4 to 6 hours, which just isn't quite enough to get a good night's sleep?

    Oh well, got one more mug of tea to brew and by then J may be up. I can feed the felines and, after checking my after breakfast blood glucose, take that short nap.

    Roger, good if your bro learns to eat vegetables and fruit! Will do wonders for his health, and it's so easy to do!
    And this ever so warm thing that I bought..I haven't been this warm since maybe last July! I have given serious thought to going back for another one...in a smaller size this time. I wanted something really large so I could comfortably wear it over my sweat shirt...but this thing, warm as it is, envelopes me!!! The X Lg, really is what it ways. Side, note....Tom E. came to mess with me, and got one of his claws stuck in all my 'fluffiness'. It was not a good thing, and he has avoided me ever since! (did I find a cat repellent? ) Oh, my...

    Ok, I will come back later and read Ed's post, and watch the video's read some of Rogers newsy links, etc. Right now I'l already 34 minutes LATE getting to Costco...So its gonna be a bear to park, and navigate in the store as well as the parking lot! Wish me luck!!

    Later...

    Back from the endodontist. I am now a rootless person. At least in that one molar.

    I do have to go back tomorrow to my regular dentist so they can re-seal the entry port on the crown properly.

    That was the most comfortable (or least uncomfortable?) root canal I ever had. If this office has a YELP rating page they are getting 5 stars.

    Hi!
    Ed glad you had a good experience at the dentist. Do a Google search for that dentist, or dental group, and they may very well have a place for comments. For anyone looking for a dentist, or anything really, peoples comments mean a lot!

    I went out to shop Costco, which at 12:30 was surprisingly easy. Got my Udon noodles with teriyaki sauce...2 bags. 8 dinners! That should get me thru not only the holidays, but well into Feb! :). Shopped Kroger til I thought I'd drop...came home at a frozen Amys dinner, (it was 4:30 and my morning banana had worn off for sure)..did a Google search for Nate's STEAM card, and it said Walmart had them. (Jenn had seen them at Kroger, but my Kroger had none. :( ).. So, off I went to Walmart. Didn't find them, and the lines were long, so I went to self check, and as I was scanning I found two more towers of cards...and on the second tower, there it was. Actually all three denomination's. They had the $50 one..but I was so tired at that point, I was so tired I'd have bought the $100 one and would have been happy to do it!!!
    So I am home, have all the Christmas gifts, and tomorrow I rap...er, wrap!
    I see on the news that you know who didn't listen to his advisors, generals, etc, etc...and is pulling troops out of Syria. That reads Merry Christmas ISIS. What a mess.

    Right now, all I want to do is crawl into bed. And I already have my jammies on!!! You may see a mid night posting! :)

    Later...
    Rain coming tomorrow...if that's all that's coming we will all be thankful here in ATL!

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 26 degrees. I am not liking the forecast for later today and Friday. Rain is supposed to move in this afternoon and be heavy through tomorrow and linger into early Saturday. Hopefully that forecast which I saw yesterday is wrong and the rain is not as bad as forecast.
