    Debbie,


    question about "Let it knead in the bowl for ten minutes,"
    So, do I knead it in the bowl then on the board or let it rest for ten minutes then put on the board?

    I am very new to this(used to use my bread machine when I did make bread.)

    I have my second batch of banana yeast rolls ready to go in the oven in 10 min.

    I will try setting my pressure cooker on warm for five minutes before putting the dough in and turning it off when I do put the dough in it and let it just stay in it to rise until double in size. Having it on warm, it left a dryer spot on it, like it did yesterday when I made it(but I messed up and it was on warm for 20 min instead of 5)

    The flavor is great, just want to keep practicing- DH says they remind him a little Hawaiian bread.

    Think I might try a mango next time I have extras that are over ripe


    It’s a typo. It should read “let it rest in the bowl for ten minutes"


    THANK YOU Karen- I fixed it on my copy of the recipe.
    Sorry to keep this going, but that was absolutely NOT a typo. Once the bread has completely come together and is pulled away from the sides of the bowl, you should knead it for ten minutes, either in the bowl of a stand mixer (which is what I was referring to), or by your hands. Without that, you won't develop any of the gluten, and it will be flat as a pancake.

    More Amazon thoughts-

    OK, I penciled it out. So far, the rewards from using my Amazon Prime Chase card more than pay for the yearly Prime fees, and gives me free shipping - as Debbie mentioned - and access to Prime videos.

    And I agree with Barbie, Amazon often has items a person can't find elsewhere.

    I've had to up my game to be a more savvy shopper with them - only buy from Amazon unless I know and trust the supplier (so no costly return charges I have to pay for) and hit the "buy" button right after it goes into the card so no fishy price hike, lol.

    Heather - maybe our Prime is higher here due to the cost of shipping?

    Have you ever found that when you have a problem, or something on your mind, all kinds of things pop up to help you? Today I have been helped by posts on Instagram, by podcasts, which seem exactly tailored to my current anxiety. I am so grateful. :)

    With my tablet, I can mention to my middle sister about the importance of keeping her skin and hair clean in private chat in Facebook messenger, and my Facebook feed is filled with products that help with that. Its pretty creepy! So you phone and computer listens and makes note of what you say or click "like".

    You don't have to be a Prime member to get their Chase card benifits- The Prime is in dh's name. I have my own cc account that is not attached to him or the prime account.

    Worked, then stopped at Sam’s to pick up my new glasses, then Michael’s to get aida cloth, then Aldi to do a little shopping, then on my way home Kohl’s to return the potato masher I got for Jess. I did see a few Halloween things on sale 80% off and it looks like next month I’ll be getting a $5 coupon so I’ll get them then. And if they’re not there...oh well.

    Carla – congrats to Lacy

    The plan for tomorrow is to do Kathy Anderson’s Step Workout for Beginners DVD then go to BK just to peel and slice the onions. Then I’m thinking I’ll go to the Dollar General since they’re the only ones who have the distilled water we like, then next door to Food Lion to get tortillas on sale, there must be a way to get from there to the WalMart in Conover so I’ll see if they have the saltines we like, by then the lady who does alterations should be open. Remember I told you I picked up Vince’s fanny pack that we use at Daytona? Well, seems she put in a new zipper, but there’s no pull. So I have to ask her how you close it, we sure can’t figure that out.

    Vince heard that some higher-up said that Harley was going to go to all electric. Has anyone else heard this? If they do, I wonder how their clientele will take to this????

    For the most part, Amazon delivers pretty quickly. They aren’t always the cheapest, tho. I’ve been waiting for months for these Birkenstocks that I want. A friend who lives in Germany is going to send me them. Even tho with the shipping, they’ll be expensive. But then again, I know that they’ll last a long time (my last ones did) so in the end it’ll be worth it. I’ve also been waiting for a pair of gray jeans to be in stock and they’re never in stock

    Rebecca – more food porn…

    Heather – great flowers

    pip -I’m with the others, stop beating yourself up. It’s not like you killed anyone, did you. Before you know it, this’ll be a thing of the past. Everyone is right, ***KITTEN**** happens

    Rita – what I hate about getting old(er) is that it takes SOOO long to heal

    Beth – hope your husband gets better real fast. MORE snow for you??????

    Sue WA – good luck at the cardiologist and have a safe trip

    Lisa – the only thing I do regarding social media is Facebook and that’s mainly to keep in touch with the kids. Don’t do Twitter, don’t do Instagram or Snapchat. Can’t be bothered

    Off to Newcomer bowling.

    I'm seeing thoughts changing among Podiatrists and PT's about shoes - now going for flat soles, wide toe boxes. So Hoka's and New Balance with the 1" heels and lifted up toe box (so the foot "rolls" and takes pressure off the metatarsals) might not be so good for everyone. Going barefoot, my feet don't hurt and my balance is much improved. Crocs are recommended.

    I'll need to go shoe shopping one of these days but I'm taking my time. Need to keep my feet happy.

    Have a great day! <3

    Lanette B)
    SW WA State

    I have thin heel lifts in my Hoka's now, at the advice of my most recent Podiatrist. I've also got them in a couple other pair of shoes. I find I have fewer foot problems if I wear a very slight heel.

    I've been told that Crocs are good, but they're just too wide for me.

    However, I do need the wide toe box, so I buy men's hiking shoes that lace up. That way I've got the wider toe box, but I can tighten them up toward the ankle so they don't fall off.


    Amazon - I order things once or twice a year. They keep trying to sell me Prime, but there's no point.

    Morning peeps- I see a few women counting their steps, I’ve never kept track of them and keep forgetting to log them. When I do notice, it’s usually over 15k each day, due to walking the 6 miles no doubt. Well .we take off this morning. Wish me luck , hoping I don’t f$&*k something else up

    This is a Step - Distance - Calories calculator

    https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/health/steps-km.php

    According to it, 10,000 steps is 7 km (for me, at my height).

    My longish lunch walks are about 5 km which is 7100 steps. I do another kilometer as part of my commute plus walking around the office and climbing stairs, plus walking Rhody when I get home, plus walking around the house doing housework etc.



    Have a great trip!!

    Heather ... happy looking flowers!

    My son feels fine ... and pray he remains covid-free because he just started a new job on Monday and they've been told that more than one day of illness and they're fired!?! Not quite sure how they get away with that. My husband is holed up in the back bedroom and is pretty miserable and I wear a mask when I take his meals to him. Lots of sanitizing going on here. My mom's facility was made aware that she's been exposed and they'll watch her for 10 days for symptoms and test on day five.

    Beth near Buffalo where it's snowing hard.

    Is it more than one day of illness without a medical certificate?
    We're allowed 2 or 3 days without a certificate, and then questions start to be asked.

    I hope your husband gets well quickly and the rest of the family is well.
