So, I tried the salsa bread today. Nothing spectacular. The first few bites into each slice just don't have much of any flavor. The bread is a red orange that makes me think of a bad tomato drink. But, it depends on the slice as to whether or not there's flavor. Monkey had a piece and he said it just tasted like regular bread. In other words ( Read more... )

I'm cooking dinner as we speak. Well, letting it rest. Tonight is simple cheap and lazy. Jennie-O turkey ham baked in the oven, boxed au gratin potatoes also baked, and canned creamed corn. Dessert will consist of yogurt of choice to eat. I'm having either key lime pie or cherry cheesecake. Drool away ( Read more... )

I can tell where I am in some people's priorities. At the very bottom. Trust me, I've been thinking about it lately. Other people are more needed and important than me. All I am is to certain people is something to squeeze in and the first thing to be dropped when time planning needs to be done. The only time I can be there is if they have a ( Read more... )

For some reason, I like doing this right now. Maybe it's a good thing, maybe not. I'll figure it out later on. But, at least right now it's letting me do results on things I try. Maybe church again next week. Not completely sure. Reminded me a LOT of when I went as a kid. But, I'm going to think about giving it a chance. May end up being a ( Read more... )

Oh my god. It's finished and I'm eating a heel now. I actually did use the sweet cycle for this for once. 2 Tbs. were regular sugar, 1 /tbs was my vanilla sugar, and the last tablespoon was cinnamon flavoured sugar. My first bite got a slight hint of the cinnamon, but the rest has a mix of cinnamon and vanilla. Yes, this IS a sweet bread.But, ( Read more... )

Well, I chickened out tonight on making spaghetti. Good reason for it though. I needed to wash dishes and the strainer was one of the dirty dishes to make. So, they got canned spaghetti and meatballs. I still have the rings, but I'll really hold out before I use them. But, I'm going to make another loaf tonight to get the heel for morning.

So, today is the day of baking. If I could, I would have also bought my plastic bowl yesterday and a spoon for the starter. But, I haven't yet. Maybe do that for lunch tomorrow at work. I'm wondering if I'm maybe just getting into a craving for baked foods or if I'm worrying too much about money and how to keep food costs down. Either way, I'm ( Read more... )

I found out it takes me an hour to get from the apartment to Save a Lot, do the shopping, go to Suzin L's, and then get back to the apartment. I couldn't do that last year. Go figure. But, when I was out shopping, I scored my find that I wanted soooo bad. Cinnamon sticks! And I got them for less than a dollar. I ended up spending more money ( Read more... )

Irene is by me. I need to go grocery shopping soon. Along with doing a couple more things. She keeps having me smell her hands and touch them because we have a new daily ritual of morning and night putting lotion on her hands. That is keeping them from going completely red and scratchy. She likes it because it keeps her from having hands that ( Read more... )

So, my big thing from Thanksgiving to make of the day was a dessert. One of my pies, to be exact. And it wasn't completely homemade. So, I'm not done experimenting with it. I did figure out how to make it get the broken up chunks throughout of peanut butter. All I had to do was blend peanut butter and confectioners' sugar. I expected it to ( Read more... )
