TIPS

Kitchen Cleaning
The kitchen is a special challenge because of the variety of cleaning needs. Grease can be absorbed while still fresh by throwing a bit of cornstarch or baking soda right on the grease then wiping away when cleaning the rest of the kitchen. The stovetop can be treated every few months with car wax to keep the surface slick and easy to clean.

Oven and Microwave Cleaning
Microwaves can be cleaned easily by putting a sponge soaked in white vinegar or lemon juice in the microwave and cooking it for 1 or 2 minutes. Don't open the microwave for about 5 minutes. The stuck on food should slide right off.
The same procedure can work with ovens except use a shallow pan with a couple of cups of white vinegar and no sponge. Cook for 5-10 minutes and leave in the oven to cool for about 30 minutes. Food will slide right off.
Any left over vinegar or lemon juice can be squeezed onto the sponge to keep it fresh. To control germs you should bleach it or run it through the dishwasher or clothes waher on a regular basis.

Red Dye Stains
For red food dye stains on counters, like those left by drinks, use straight rubbing alcohol, enough to puddle on the stain. Leave it for several minutes and wipe away. Use a sudsy cleaner on counter after.

Stuck on Food
For food stuck on pots and pans, put a dryer sheet in the pan and leave overnight. In the morning the food will slide right out. The fabric softener will soften the food overnight.

Tarnished Silverware
For tarnished silverware, heat 2 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Put silverware on a sheet of aluminum foil in a pan with the silverware making contact on the foil. The combination of metal and baking soda will cause the tarnish to disappear

OK, THEY TWISTED MY ARM AND MADE ME DO IT...

we are having hot milk chocolate brownies for dessert right now. They just came out the oven and they are so good!!

WHAT'S FOR SUPPER.....

Tonight we are having pork chops drenched in cream of mushroom soup. I am baking them in the oven as we speak. I am going to serve with white rice, sliced beets and maybe some mac and cheese or green beans. Sure smellin good in here now.

WHAT'S FOR SUPPER.....

Tonight is hamburger steaks with sauteed mushrooms and onions, maybe some mac and cheese and some kind of beans. I should hear no complaints tonight.

WHATS FOR SUPPER....

Tonight we had the Easy Tuna Casserole. I had good reviews from this. All the guys liked it. I added extra cheese and whole button mushrooms too it also. I guess this will be a repeat here at our house soon.

FOUND THIS INTERESTING...

COKE
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
#8... To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
#1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
#4. Open a bottle of coke, drop a regular tooth in it. In the morning, remove the tooth ...it will crumble to dust between your fingers. It is doing the same thing to your bones.
#5. There are 16 teaspoons of SUGAR in EVERY can of coke! If you just stop drinking cokes, figureout how much weight you could lose in a year.

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?
or Coke?

FOOD CRITIC REPORT: GERMAN LASAGNA

The kids did not like it that good. Hubby and I did like it and want to make it again soon. It was something different.

I'M ON THE BALL TODAY....

Lasagna is already together and in the frig waiting for the oven. The dishes are done and the house is almost clean.... and it is only 10:20am. I need to slow down before they expect this every day...LOL

WHAT'S FOR SUPPER.....

Tonight we are having the German Lasagna. I had my tastebuds all fired up for it yesterday but the guys wanted hamburgers and hotdogs. My guys think you don't have food in the house unless there's a pound of hamburger and a pack of hotdogs. Their tastebuds are in for a real treat. They all love saurekraut so this dish should get good reviews from them. I will post a food critic report tomorrow to let you know.(Do have some leftover hotdogs if they don't like it...but don't tell them that.)

FOOD CRITIC REPORT: TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE CAKE

Straight from the horses mouth..."that was damn good", "when you gonna make the next one". This dessert is to die for. It is very rich and "chocolately". The sour cream adds a smoothness and the pudding adds a fluffiness. I guess you can call it that. There are so many words to describe it. You just have to try it for yourself. Ummmm!! good with a tall glass of cold milk (and I don't even like milk).

Also good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which I had with mine. I also didn't dust with powdered sugar because it really doesn't need any more sugar.

Energy Consciousness Tips.....
Buy a new fridge that is the right size for your needs toavoid wasting energy cooling nothing.
Use a microwave or toaster oven to cook small portions anda conventional oven or stove-top for larger items.
A watched pot will eventually boil-but putting a lid on itreduces cooking time and energy use. Also, match the potsize to burner size to avoid energy waste.
Winterize Your Home for Savings...
While it may not be time to pull out the heavy woolsweaters just yet, it is a good time to start think-ing about winterizing your home; and a good placeto start is with the insulation. Do you have enoughinsulation in your home?
When moving into a new dwelling.Get 2 boxes of those "roach hotels". Open the package andsplit them apart so they are individual. Then, using a yardstick or broom handle, etc, push them under the refrigeratorand you will never have roaches. Roaches breed mostly indark spots and under the refrigerator is most prevalent place for them.
Put a couple cans of coffee grounds (not brewed) in a roomwith a foul smell. This saved my freezer that had unpluggedwhile we were away and came back to a bunch of spoiled meat.
Store clean silver in washed cotton, acid-free tissue or other bagsspecially designed to protect silver (these can be found at hardware andhome improvement stores). They really do the job.

FYI....BREAD TIPS

When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness. Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.
* Monday - Blue
* Tuesday - Green
* Thursday - Red
* Friday - White
* Saturday - Yellow
So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie - not white which is Friday's (almost a week old!). The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow

I didn't get to make my ribs...

instead I used the new A1 marinade.. Jamaican Jerk. It was a little warm to the tastebuds, but delicious.I have also tried one other one but can't remember the name of it but it was good too.

DRYING HERBS

Drying herbs is easy. Most gardeners cut a handful, tie the stems with string, and hang the herbs upside down in a cool, airy place. You can also dry herbs in a microwave. Do small batches and leave them in for only 30 seconds at a time. Take them out and if they're crumbly when you roll a piece between your thumb and forefinger, they're dry. If not, put them back into the microwave for another 15-30 seconds. You can also lay your herbs out on a screen or paper towel and allow them to air-dry. After drying, store herbs in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place. When you harvest herbs, do it in the morning when they're freshest and most aromatic.
There are hundreds of books available on the topic of growing, harvesting, and using herbs. Peruse some bookstores and internet reviews, and you'll find some gems for your library. Enjoy!

HEAVENS GROCERY STORE

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago. One day I saw a sign thatread `Heaven Grocery Store'.As I got a little closer, the door came wide open, And when I came to myself, Iwas standing inside.I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere. One handed me a basketand said, "My child, shop with care." Everything a Christian needed was in theGrocery Store. And if you couldn't carry them, you could come back for more.
First I got some PATIENCE. LOVE was in the same row. Further down wasUNDERSTANDING, you need that wherever you go.I got a box of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH. I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost,for He was all over the place. I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE tohelp me win the race And though my basket was getting full, I remembered to getsome GRACE.I didn't forget SALVATION, for salvation, that was free. So, I tried to getenough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up the counter to pay thegrocery bill, for I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER and I just had to put that in, For I knewwhen I stepped outside, I would run into SIN. PEACE and JOY were plentiful, theywere on the last shelf. SONG and PRAISES were hanging near so I just helpedmyself.Then I said to the Angel, "Now how much do I owe?"He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go!"Again I smiled at him and said, "How much do I really owe?"The Angel smiled again and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long timeago."

CHICKEN BOG

This dish is prepared anywhere. It is great to fix on the riverbanks while camping,for a church social,or to feed a huge crowd. I can give you the basic ingredients and you can alter to suit your needs.

white rice
chicken,deboned
sausage
onion,chopped
salt and pepper to taste


Boil chicken and debone. Bring chicken,sausage and onions to boil and add rice. I also add yellow safferin rice to mine to make it have a yellow color and flavoring. Some people add eggs to the boiling water or either hardboiled eggs chopped up. After boiling has been reached again,turn burner down to low and put a lid on it. When I make this, I normally make it in an 8qt stock pot. I have enough to feed at least 20 people or more. After rice has become soft and all the water is dried, serve with some chopped onion on top or with beans and bread to make a meal.

We have a chicken bog festival in our small town every year in October. My cousin has won the cooking contest a couple times. You can add backbone or pork ribs or any kind of meat you want to. It has no quidelines. Some like it with hot sauce and some like to use a spicy sausage in it. The sky is the limit.

Food Critic Report....

I broke down and tried the fried cucumbers tonight. Two of the guys just looked at them and turned their noses up, the other tried it and wasn't impressed(he's not a biggie for veggies anyway). I ate some and I could eat them or leave them. It isn't one of my favorites but I could eat it if I was hungry.
