    Do you have a secret recipe?

    DM, in my opinion, an original and potentially money making creation totally deserves 'secret' status. But these ladies were ... well... not exactly cooks. Minivan driving, PTA president, dance class taxi-ing, fund raiser organizing for the t-ball team, country club pool lounging trophy wives...

    Vehicle Insurance

    Now that I have my license, I wouldn't even think of letting them expire unless it meant not being able to feed my kids, ya know. But so far, in MS, it is I think $22 every four years. OTOH, I can drive without a license without batting an eye. I guess it is just a cultural thing. When I was...

    Do you have a secret recipe?

    I have never heard of such a thing. Secret recipes. I always thought that was a joke. It's funny how in this day and age anyone thinks they can have a lsecret recipe http://www.gumbopages.com/food/dessert/wchoc-breadpud.html I didn't see that show you mentioned, by the way. But you reminded me...

    I think I should sell my car.

    Tina, I am kinda like you with the up again down again insurance. I have lived without credit most of my life (except maybe the last five years) and if I could never get a lone again for anything as long as I live, I would probably be much better off for it. :D Plus, if we didn't have this car...

    I think I should sell my car.

    Nah. I owe $16,000 something on it and it'd probably blue book about $12,000 or $13,000. or something like that. Honestly, I wanted to cry. My boss asked me to figure up how much money I could afford to pay for health insurance in the event that he is able to find health coverage for a small...

    Do you have a secret recipe?

    I just overheard two ladies in my office talking about some recipes and lady 1 asked lady 2 "is that the one you don't give out?" and Lady 2 said, "No I give mine out!... all except one." (It was white chocolate bread pudding, btw.) And they both mentioned another friend of theirs who has a...

    I think I should sell my car.

    Any pointers? It's not such an unusual situation. I have a 2 yr old car that I'm a little upside down on (possibly up to $4000) upside down. I'd like to sell it and negotiate with the finance company to pay the shortage over time. Does anyone know what I'm talking about. Is that possible...

    While I'm waiting....

    My boss pays my mom $12 per hour to clean our office. She is the professional cleaner and my boss really don't care (there are places in this building that haven't been cleaned in 23 years, LOL) I recommended my mom because she used to be a professional cleaner and I actually trust her to do a...

    Holy cow! I shot a buck! ***PICS*** maybe graphic.

    I don't think he's supposed to say if he is a minor. :) My bosses son (age 8) killed a doe the other evening. They didn't find her that night, but papa found her the next morning. They just got back from the processor who said the meat wasn't exactly safe to process (she'd been gut shot and...

    does it freeze when you put it in the freezer (like get hard?) or can you still dip it out? Cassandra

    Do you save your bacon fat?

    I save mine. You mean the grease that is left over after frying bacon, right? It makes a good seasoning for vegetables. For example if you would put a little butter or olive oil in your green beans or corn, add bacon grease instead. Stirfrying veggies pan frying anything (pancakes, salmon...

    Jelly for nutrition?

    Good point, ScottyG. Which brings up another point about preserving food. And that is putting stuff by that your family will actually EAT. For example, I didn't grow any squash this year, but my mom did. ANd knowing I have a deepfreezer and a canner, she gave me a lot. Thing is, my family...

    Bought my new little oven

    FarmerChick, I need to know how it is going with you and your oven now that you have a little practice under your belt!! :D I did end up buying one kinda like yours, but not as fancy. Got tired of this conversation: (me)"What y'all want for dinner" (everyone else) "PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!" (me)...

    What's porridge? :P So, grits are ground up corn. (I think that dictionary messed up. They are definitely corn goll dangit!) ;) If you took a few "grits" in your hands, they would be opaque white, irregular grains, bigger than table salt grains. They feel sort of rough, like sand. You boil...

    Jelly for nutrition?

    Sweet potatoes have 65% of the DV of vitamin C. (One baked sweet potato) http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2667/2 ETA: That should be ONE CUP BAKED Cassandra

    Jelly for nutrition?

    Yeah, that is what I was wondering. That food lable said NO vitamin C... like AT ALL... Which begs the question, how do you preserve vitamin C in foods if you can't cook it at all. Frozen orange juice? What about dehydrated stuff? Is there enough heat in that process to destroy the vitamin...
