No he has an apartment of his own only about two city blocks from me. Yesterday I went to PT and Karen the woman who works with me asked me a simple question. "Hi Adele, how are you doing?" That was all it took. I burst into a torrent of tears. She took me to a quiet room and called my social...

So yesterday, I cooked up a mess of Vadalia onions, red peppers, a hash brown and two slices of bacon. Now I love Valdalia onions and peppers sauted. I took one bite and I couldn't swallow it. I need to eat. And since Scott died, I can't. So I am going to Lewis Mall today and I have to let them...

I am getting brave and will go shopping by myself on Friday. I intend to get about only four items. Spike has always gone with me picked up the foods on my list in the produce department. I will picking up some frozen shrimp and if the price is right, one small lobster. I love seafood and...

Well today was not a good day. I guess I am still in shock over my son's death. I am still in shock. When I woke up today for the life of me, I forgotten how to use the remote to the TV. It took me more than an hour to figure it out. And that was by trial and error. I need tp give myself...

Sounds like it would be perfect for a salad. Or even egg rolls stuffed with finely diced veggies and lettuce. Use in place of soy sauce. But don't forget the noodles.

I have to agree with you dragnlaw. The cranberry crop in Mass. is in great danger this year. It is a major industry in this state. And it has been on the news regarding how the bee population is in danger not only here, but also in Europe. Having one successful hive in your back yard, does not...

I think of fish sauce as for use in Chinese recipes. I guess I am wrong.

Have you tried to google these products? Such as "Recipes for Pomegranate Molasses?" Do this with all the other stuff you asked about.

I never eat the white meat of any fowl. Scott would always peel off his skin of the breasts and give it to me. I am going to miss that extra skin.

Ditto here. Folks don't always know just how much nutrition is on the skin of the foods we eat. Including chicken skin. Just take the skin out of the broth, let it dry a bit, then fry it in oil You are still getting some of the protein of the meat. And something good to eat.

Stray Thoughts I just finished an article regarding the hair styles for the summer. They are no different than the way they look today. Now if kept neat and not in the face, or falling down all over the food, Fine! But I sick of seeing unkempt hair in the face, looking like it has never...

You are right Chief. But New England is not the beginning or end of the world. So many places on our planet eat beans of different kind. That recipe sounds like if placed on the middle of a picnic table in the back yard, it would disappear very quickly. Unfortunately, like you I too can no...

I would rather have the crispy fried chicken skin from the breast than the meat itself. And for the legs, well I always eat the skin first, then the meat. Some great ideas here. Chicken skin crumbled for on top of salad, or even mixed in potato salad. Summer is just around the corner folks...

A hash brown potato pattie, two breakfast sausages with one English muffin and one egg. And I was able to cook it myself. For the first time in months I felt full. For me, this was a real accomplishment.

The first summer I lived in South Texas, there were many days when the temp went over the 100 mark. Anytime I made a comment about how hot it was, all I got was, "Oh you'll get used to it!" The second summer, I was in my third trimester of my pregnancy.

I hope you made it a point to read this whole thread. Excellent advice from those who know. Definitely try again. And when you are surprised at being successful with it, you can present it to hubby and tell him "every day in this house is Father's Day."

Oh how well I know that.

That includes me. Who wants to look a bunch of wrinkles on an 80 y.o. butt!

Absolutely!!

What tl said. And me. Take a look at the Oxo. Reasonable priced, easy to use, and easy to understand. Just go to OxO.com

They look really good to me.

I would go for the flat top. The Oxo is a great scale and highly recommended by ATK. You can also pull the reading away from the scale. With the flat top, you can always tare the amount when you put the food on the scale. You can tare the food and/or the container before you go for the real...

I am with you on that. I find if I buy thin, I end up cooking two or more slices. Thick cut, only one slice cut in half. Sometimes I only cook up a half slice when it is thick cut. And I also make sure I check the window on the back of the bacon product. I want to see more meat than fat. Even...

I would have to say thin on just about all foods. I am not fond of bread. But when in company, I just can't peel off the top slice of bread, eat the filling and leave the bottom slice. So for sandwiches, I like thick fillings like tomato, chopped lettuce, but thin meats. The only time I really...

Yeah. It is moments like that when a mother wonders if they gave her the wrong baby to take home. :wacko:
