A Place to Hide from the Boss and Waste Time. Recipes, Ramblings , Weight loss / Gain, New Products I've tried Etc. If you are looking for a perfect photo of food or perfect this or that…Please move on. I am normal, and not superstar where someone else cleans up after me. I didn't just get my nails done, and my hair is in a ponytail. I am REAL!
Most of the time I am a very nice calm person but enough is enough when YOU ARE SCREWING with MY MONEY.
Our VERY LARGE FAMILY spends A LOT OF MONEY… EVERY SINGLE MONTH… AT WALMART.
We watched our order being delivered and tracked it. It got to 4 mins away and they stopped at a lake/park and marked our order “Attempted delivery” and they were returning it to the store.
I have screenshots of where the driver was at all times.
LIES !!!
MY MONEY IS GOOD AT OTHER STORES TOO .
I contacted them and ok…. I will get a refund… BIG DEAL !!!
They got their money instantly but I won’t get mine for 10 days…. BULL CRAP !!!!
This is NOT the first time having problems and the response is a generic apology.
Apple’s Latest iOS 17.5 Update Coerces Millions of Americans into Downloading LGBTQ Propaganda with Mandatory Phone Update
by Jim Hᴏft103 CommentsCredit: Apple
Apple Inc. has once again sparked outrage with its latest iOS 17.5 update—this time by pushing LGBTQ-themed content onto its millions of users through a mandatory software update.
On Tuesday, the tech giant rolled out an update that introduced a new set of Pride Radiance wallpapers that many see as a coercive push of LGBTQ propaganda.
“This update introduces a new Pride Radiance wallpaper for the Lock Screen, Apple News enhancements, and other features, bug fixes, and security updates for your iPhone,” stated Apple’s update notes.
The move has been met with mixed reactions, with some users feeling that the inclusion of LGBTQ+ themed wallpapers is an unnecessary politicization of what should be a neutral tech update.
Twitter user Sid commented, “iOS 17.5 is out! Nothing new, just a new wallpaper pack for gay people which even they’ll refuse to use because of how bad it looks.”
Tech Radar reported:
Continuing a yearly tradition, Apple has revealed this year’s Pride Collection celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. The 2024 set consists of two new wallpapers for iPhones and iPads plus a new watch face and wristband for the Apple Watch.
Launching first on May 22 is the band which is called the Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop. Apple states the color scheme was inspired by multiple pride flags. The pink, light blue, and white threads are meant to “represent transgender and nonbinary” people, while “black and brown symbolize Black, Hispanic, and Latin communities” plus groups who have been hurt by HIV/AIDS. Laser-etched on the lug are the words “PRIDE 2024”.
Adding to the controversy, the update has reportedly caused unexpected technical issues for many users. Shockingly, some have reported that photos they had permanently deleted years ago have suddenly reappeared on their devices.
New York Post reported:
The latest Apple update iOS 17.5 — which the company recently urged users to instantly download — is causing years-long deleted photos to reappear on phones.
One person was shocked to see erased, nude photos they had taken with their partner three years ago suddenly pop up in their camera roll.
“I went to send a picture and saw that the latest pictures were [not safe for work] material we’d made years ago when we were living apart,” the shocked and “uncomfortable” user lamented on Reddit.
“But WTF. It was permanently deleted. Years ago but magically it’s back?? I checked my iPad and it also has pictures (some art work I did years ago). I feel so uncomfortable.”
(This is NOT funny at all. This is just ONE quote… “ModRNA, as described by Renz, has the potential to last longer and create permanent changes in genes.”
Vials of the COVID-19 vaccine are seen at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Md., Dec. 14, 2020.
Lawyer Tom Renz has exposed that the COVID-19 vaccines, widely advertised as mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccines, are in fact lab-created hybrids known as modRNA.
Tom Renz has accused the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Pfizer, and others of misleading the world about the true nature of the COVID-19 vaccines.
In a statement released on social media, Renz claims that the widely recognized mRNA technology, allegedly utilized in the vaccines, is not what it appears to be.
“They claimed the COVID-19 vaccines were mRNA & that meant MESSENGER RNA (which occurs in life everywhere). It is NOT. The mRNA is modRNA. modRNA is a lab-created hybrid designed to create changes in your genes,” said Renz.
modRNA (modified messenger RNA) is a synthesized form of mRNA that has been altered at specific sites.
ModRNA, as described by Renz, has the potential to last longer and create permanent changes in genes.
He also warns of the potential for “massive unintended consequences” in the 3300 billion lines of genetic code that make up humanity.
“Why does this matter? Well let’s start with the COVID “vaccines”. Because mRNA is a weak particle and breaks down easily with a relatively lower risk of messing with your genetics than other gene therapy products (like modRNA) that is what is always talked about in the jabs. The problem is that it is a lie,” Renz wrote on his Substack.
If you searched the word “modRNA” on Pfizer’s labeling/fact-sheet for health care providers administering the vaccine, it will show 21 results.
According to the labeling:
Notwithstanding the age limitations for use of the different formulations and presentations described above, individuals who will turn from 11 years to 12 years of age between doses in the primary regimen may receive, for any dose in the primary regimen, either: (1) the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine authorized for use in individuals 5 through 11 years of age (each 0.2 mL dose containing 10 mcg modRNA, supplied in multiple dose vials with orange caps); or (2) COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) or the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine authorized for use in individuals 12 years of age and older (each 0.3 mL dose containing 30 mcg modRNA, supplied in multiple dose vials with gray caps and multiple dose vials with purple caps).
Vaccination providers administering COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) must adhere to the same reporting requirements.
Pfizer admitted that during its clinical studies, participants aged 16 years and older received 30 mcg of nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA).
This is the main active ingredient in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) is a modified form of mRNA that encodes the spike (S) glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccine uses this technology to prompt the body’s immune system to recognize and fight the virus.
These are the side effects reported by individuals in the clinical trial after receiving the vaccine.
Pain at the injection site (84.1%): The most common reaction, reported by over 84% of participants.
Fatigue (62.9%): A feeling of tiredness or exhaustion was reported by nearly 63% of the participants.
Headache (55.1%): Over half of the participants experienced headaches.
Muscle pain (38.3%): Muscle soreness or discomfort was reported by over 38% of the participants.
Chills (31.9%): Just under 32% of participants experienced chills.
Joint pain (23.6%): This refers to pain in the joints, experienced by nearly 24% of participants.
Fever (14.2%): Around 14% of the participants had a fever.
Injection site swelling (10.5%): This refers to swelling at the location where the vaccine was injected, reported by 10.5% of participants.
Injection site redness (9.5%): This refers to redness at the injection site, experienced by 9.5% of participants.
Nausea (1.1%): Slightly more than 1% of participants felt nauseous.
Malaise (0.5%): This refers to a general feeling of discomfort or unease, reported by 0.5% of participants.
Lymphadenopathy (0.3%): This refers to the swelling of lymph nodes and was reported by 0.3% of participants.
In the clinical trial for participants aged 12 through 15 who received the vaccine, which contains 30 mcg of nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA).
These are the side effects reported by individuals in the clinical trial after receiving the vaccine.
Pain at the injection site (90.5%): Most participants experienced pain where the vaccine was injected.
Fatigue (77.5%): Tiredness or exhaustion was reported by over three-quarters of the participants.
Headache (75.5%): A common reaction, with over 75% of the participants experiencing headaches.
Chills (49.2%): Nearly half of the participants experienced a feeling of coldness or shivering.
Muscle pain (42.2%): Over 42% of the participants reported muscle soreness or discomfort.
Fever (24.3%): Around a quarter of the participants had an elevated body temperature.
Joint pain (20.2%): Pain in the joints was reported by over 20% of the participants.
Injection site swelling (9.2%): A smaller percentage reported swelling at the location of the injection.
Injection site redness (8.6%): A mild reaction involving redness at the injection site.
Lymphadenopathy (0.8%): Swelling of lymph nodes, a rare reaction, was reported by 0.8% of participants.
Nausea (0.4%): A very small percentage (0.4%) felt nauseous after receiving the vaccine.
Post Authorization Experience
According to Pfizer, experiences and reactions reported after the vaccine was authorized for public use:
Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis: These are intense allergic reactions that can be life-threatening, though they are rare. They have been reported following the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.
Myocarditis and pericarditis: These terms refer to inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) and inflammation of the lining around the heart (pericarditis). Both have been reported in individuals after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is supplied as a frozen suspension in multiple dose vials with purple caps; each vial must be diluted with 1.8 mL of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP prior to use to form the vaccine. Each 0.3 mL dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine supplied in multiple dose vials with purple caps contains 30 mcg of a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 strain.
Each 0.3 mL dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine supplied in multiple dose vials with purple caps also includes the following ingredients: lipids (0.43 mg ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate), 0.05 mg 2[(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N,N-ditetradecylacetamide, 0.09 mg 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and 0.2 mg cholesterol), 0.01 mg potassium chloride, 0.01 mg monobasic potassium phosphate, 0.36 mg sodium chloride, 0.07 mg dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate, and 6 mg sucrose. The diluent (sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP) contributes an additional 2.16 mg sodium chloride per dose.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine does not contain preservative. The vial stoppers are not made with natural rubber latex.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The modRNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is formulated in lipid particles, which enable delivery of the RNA into host cells to allow expression of the SARS-CoV-2 S antigen. The vaccine elicits an immune response to the S antigen, which protects against COVID-19.
According to Epoch Times’ author, Klaus Steger, a molecular biologist who specializes in the gene regulation of sperm development, modRNA is created in a laboratory. The two—mRNA and modRNA—are completely different.
Epoch Times reported:
How is RNA modified? Simply put, one of the four compounds in RNA is modified (e.g., the natural nucleoside uridine is modified to make synthetic/artificial methyl-pseudouridine). The modRNA is then:
More stable (it lasts longer in the body).
Less immunogenic (it evokes reduced stimulation of the innate immune system).
More efficient (modRNA produces more protein than the same amount of mRNA).
The therapeutic application of modRNA in humans presents challenges and dangers.
Alarmingly, modRNA contains a viral gene sequence. Upon entering a cell, modRNA takes control of the cell machinery and reprograms it to produce a viral protein—for example, spike protein.
Perhaps most astonishing is that, when creating the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, scientists already knew that targeted delivery of modRNA was impossible. modRNA cannot be targeted to specific cells. As such, it attacks perfectly healthy cells—even beyond natural barriers like the blood-brain barrier.
mRNA and modRNA are completely different.
Since the information between the modRNA and mRNA are so limited online, and also, I am not a scientist, we asked AI to differentiate the two.
1. Basic Definition
mRNA (messenger RNA): It is a single-stranded molecule that carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. It tells your DNA how to make specific proteins. The mRNA contains instructions that your body can read to create a special type of protein. This protein triggers your immune system, which then creates antibodies specific to COVID-19.
modRNA (modified mRNA): modRNA is a man-made short-lived heterologous 5′-capped messenger RNA (mRNA), in which some nucleosides are replaced by others non-standard, naturally modified in eukaryotes (e.g., pseudouridine, 5-methylcytosine, 6-methyladenosine), or by synthetic nucleoside analogs, such as N1-methylpseudouridine. These modifications are introduced to improve stability, translation efficiency, and reduce the immunogenic response within the body.
2. Structural Differences
mRNA: Consisting of a sequence of nucleotides, mRNA is generally not altered after being transcribed from DNA, retaining the same sequence as its corresponding DNA template.
modRNA: Modifications in modRNA can include chemical alterations like the substitution of uridine with pseudouridine, which helps in reducing the recognition of RNA as foreign material by the immune system.
3. Applications
mRNA: mRNA’s primary function is in the natural biological process of protein synthesis, facilitating cellular growth, repair, and maintenance.
modRNA: Scientists have exploited the modifiable nature of modRNA for therapeutic applications, including the creation of COVID-19 vaccines. Its modified structure allows for more efficient uptake into cells, creating a more effective platform for vaccines and gene therapy.
4. Stability and Immune Response
mRNA: Unmodified mRNA can be recognized by the immune system as foreign material, leading to degradation or triggering an unwanted immune response.
modRNA: The modified structure of modRNA ensures that it is more stable and less likely to provoke an immune reaction, making it more suitable for therapeutic applications.
According to a peer-reviewed study published on Wiley Online Library, modRNA can cause autoimmune diseases.
Here is a brief explanation based on the study:
Fragility at Room Temperature: Unlike DNA, modRNA is very delicate at room temperature, requiring ultracold storage and a specialized cold chain for distribution. This fragility is a critical issue with the technology. Some thermostable mRNA vaccines have been developed to address this, allowing storage at room temperature for at least a week.
Hypersensitivity and Allergic Reactions: A significant concern with modRNA technology is hypersensitivity. The vaccines must be incorporated into PEGylated lipid nanoparticles to achieve transfection since mRNA degrades rapidly. PEGylation refers to attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers to macromolecules to aid delivery to tissues. Some individuals have been reported to have allergic reactions to PEG-containing products, which may trigger immediate hypersensitivity reactions with the vaccine.
Types of Hypersensitivity Reactions: Beyond immediate reactions, other types of hypersensitivity reactions (such as cytotoxic, immune complex, delayed, and autoimmune) must be considered in both the short and long term after administration. These can potentially lead to various health concerns.
Impact of New Virus Variants: The text also raises questions about how new circulating variants of SARS-CoV-2 may affect vaccine-induced protection and the potential for antibody-dependent enhancement, an escape mechanism used by some RNA viruses. These are concerns that require further study and monitoring.
Autoimmune Diseases Consideration: There is also a mention that autoimmune diseases may occur after an external antigenic stimulus in genetically predisposed subjects, which could be a concern with modRNA vaccines.

Malik Obama Doubles Down: Calls Barack Obama as “Fake Ass a Snake” – Demands Release of Barack’s Parents’ Marriage Contract – Suggests Grandfather Might be “Freemason” or “Illuminati”
by Jim Hᴏft
In a series of fiery tweets, Abon’go Malik Obama has intensified his criticisms against his half-brother Barack Obama.
Malik called Barack as “fake” and a “snake, and has made demands for the release of the marriage contract between Barack’s parents. He even went as far as suggesting that their grandfather might have had ties to the Freemasons or the Illuminati.
The two brothers, who share the same father but have different mothers, have had a tumultuous relationship over the years. While they were once photographed together during Barack’s visit to Kenya in 2015, their relationship has since soured, with Malik frequently expressing his disagreements with Barack’s failed policies and bad personal choices.
In a tweet, Malik Obama asked his X followers, “What a Transgender Woman folks?”
In another tweet, accompanied by a photo, Malik asked, “and… “Where’s the marriage certificate?” followed by mentioning his father, “Barack Obama Sr.”
It seems that Malik was demanding the release of the marriage contract between Barack’s parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Stanley Ann Dunham.
In another tweet, Malik criticized Joe Biden for sending billions of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine when Hawaii was burning.
In a more personal attack, Malik criticized Barack’s silence on the Maui wildfires, contrasting it with his vocal support for LGBTQ+ rights.
“And…Why has not fake ass a snake (President Obama) done something or said anything about this tragedy? But he has lots to say about gay books…him and his fake foundation (Chicago)…my Brother’s Keeper. Just another money making proposition. FAKE ASS A SNAKE!!”
“It’s his (President Obama)’s home state,” he wrote.

In a particularly intriguing tweet, Malik shared a glimpse into their family history, referencing pictures on their grandfather’s wall.
“My grandfather’s wall pictures. That’s some white lady, and the other, a picture of the devil. On that wall from since I was born; never got an explanation what it (they) signified. They were just my grandfather’s pictures; from his travels abroad; World War II, Burma, Zanzibar etc. He could’ve been a Freemason, or Illuminati. Who knows folks?! (That’s my father’s Harvard graduation certificate-on the right),” he wrote.

O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) this week dropped a story featuring a whistleblower from inside Best Buy who released screenshots of a training program.
A Citizen Journalist has revealed Best Buy is partnering with McKinsey & Company on a Management Training Program.
The program is not open to white applicants. “Candidates must meet the [racial] requirements below”
The program is only for employees who “identify as Black, Latino, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander.”
A second whistleblower revealed Best Buy discriminates against Christians.
“A Geek Squad member has audio proof that the company refuses to allow Christian employees to display crosses while requiring them to attend LGBTQ workshops.” O’Keefe said.
WATCH:
It’s time to give Best Buy the Bud Light treatment.
Just white drunk stupid people….. not many other people… BORING and really dumb. They must be worried about being canceled if they show the REAL crime….. LOL
(Read update at bottom)
So far most are just white criminals doing awful things or being drunk and loud. They always make sure they show the loud drunk messy, over weight, missing teeth, trailer trash kind of people.
Black/brown stories are cutesy and fun and funny etc. Only saw 2 stories of people of color in 3 HOURS. I’m not talking pulling a car over for a turn signal… I’m talking crimes. (since they let most drivers go even without license, insurance etc)
And animal chases.
It is on Fri and Sat evening on REELZ (check YOUR time zone)
Our weekend “watch party” ends tonight, they don’t want to come here to watch anymore.
I’m sad, we had food and fun on the weekend.
Update… they had a guest sitting next to Curtis and her name is Michelle Woods.
She has worked 22 years(?) at police dept as a supervisor in homicide dept. And she bragged about all the others that she supervises and the three women working with her etc.Well fast forward to Tues morning and watching Oxygen channel and there she is Narrating a crime show called Black widow killer ( or something like that). Hmmmm
Yep another update from 7-28
It was NOT ALL STUPID WHITE people doing dumb things. Wow… amazed but only a couple.
…
Another update …. We don’t watch anymore. It isn’t anything like live pd.
We watched for the police action NOT dog chases… car just driving to calls…. games with Dan in studio…. and NO REAL police calls.
I think they are afraid to be canceled like LivePD !!! They don’t want to show the REAL CRIME !!!!!
All 20 FAMILIES now watch something else. We know have movies for both days and pot luck.
If something happens that they start showing the REAL crime out there….. we might be back. But until then…. Movies it is.
———————————————————————
Someone left a message last night (fri aug 11th ) to watch cops insult white people calling them DRUNKS/TOWN DRUNK… and ignorant. Said same cop different people.
I don’t know if it happened or not didn’t watch and won’t.
But calling people names for having a disease is awful !!
Royce James is a BULLY when dealing with WHITE people !!!
==================================
update….. 8-18 she said same cop “royce james” was at it again with his attitude of being “THE MAN”. This man is acting so RACIST.
—————————————-
UPDATE…
Not watching anymore and not getting calls for updates.
Dan blew it big time !!
You could have had something great… but you were too afraid to be CANCELED !!
Oh good grief….. the NEW posts are down below about 15 posts but I want you to read the posts that are stuck up on top too. They are very important too. I’ll clean this up now that I”m back. LOL.
Pleases scroll down about 15 or so

I”m back and trying to clean it all up and post YEARS of recipes and posts. I have NEVER stopped taking photos or recipes.
A mister no more: Mr. Potato Head goes gender neutral
JOSEPH PISANI
NEW YORK (AP) — Mr. Potato Head is no longer a mister.
Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, is giving the spud a gender neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year.
Many toymakers have been updating their classic brands in recent years, hoping to relate to kids today and to reflect more modern families.
“It’s a potato,” said Ali Mierzejewski, editor in chief at toy review site The Toy Insider. “But kids like to see themselves in the toys they are playing with.”
Barbie, for example, has shed its blonde image and now comes in multiple skin tones and body shapes. Thomas the Tank Engine added more girl characters. And American Girl is now selling a boy doll.
As part of the rebranding, Hasbro will release a new Potato Head playset that will let kids create their own type of families, including two moms or two dads. The Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head characters will live on in some form, Hasbro said, but didn’t provide details.
Dropping the “Mr.” from its name could encourage other companies to not assign genders to its toys, a trend that has already been happening, said Mierzejewski. Barbie maker Mattel released a gender-neutral doll line in 2019. But Mr. Potato Head is one of the biggest brands to do so.
“It’s setting this new standard,” Mierzejewski said.
Mr. Potato Head first hit the toy scene in 1952, when it didn’t even come with a plastic potato — kids had to supply their own vegetable to poke eyes, a nose or mustache into. Hasbro, which also makes Monopoly and My Little Pony, bought the brand and eventually added a plastic potato.

This blog started because I needed a place to say things where I wouldn’t be judged ( too harshly). *laugh*
I am an ….older woman who has a very young girl inside. I have never felt old, and I don’t want to start now.
If you need a place that will make YOU feel normal….. this is it. There are times that even I shake my head and wonder what I was thinking. ( smile )
This is an “everything” blog. I may post a recipe, or a story about stubbing my toe, or talk about kitchen items, products that I have tried, a new recipe that I tried or want to try, a service that I used, or a weight loss program.
I don’t have a $8,000.00 camera to post photos, so please don’t expect miracles. Most of the time I will have to explain what is in the photos. The food may NOT look edible, but it is. I rarely post a “flop recipe”, but I will post when ” I ” make a mistake.
I don’t have a “rags to riches” story by winning the lottery, I’m still in rags, and NOT rich.
I don’t have stories about my lavish travels and the details of the places that I have gone. I don’t think anyone would be interested in my travels……. because most people have “kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and garages”. Why waste the time bragging. ( wink )
I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not… I‘m just me !!!
Please DO NOT take me too seriously, I am NOT a gourmet cook, I haven’t gone to culinary school so I can learn to cook, and I’m not anyone famous. This blog is a place to put all the thousands of recipes that I have collected since 1969. From magazines, newspapers, cookbooks, family members and neighbors. I will do my best to get them all in writing.
I was taught to cook at the age of about 4 or 5 standing on a chair next to my Mother and Grandmother.( I think it was more like 3-4 stirring jello and pudding, and ripping lettuce apart for a salad. Tearing is what an adult does to lettuce, at that age I RIPPED it apart lol)
My moods will change from day to day, so you have been warned ( laugh). I can be in the best of moods one morning, and all of a sudden “Life” happens and it is down hill from there.
One thing I AM, I am a true friend., I will never try to be something or someone that I’m not.
On this blog, there will be recipes, daily mishaps, talking about family and friends, weight-loss, weight gain, and other everyday happenings. My grammar is bad, my spelling will make you scratch your head…. But I’m Fun and honest.
I have been collecting recipes since about 1997 on the Internet….. But since 1969 in real life……. I have family recipes dating back to 1927 from my family and friends family. I have made thousands of them and will post as many as possible. I make my own adjustments so I never make something the same way twice. ( unless it was perfect and could not be improved ) *I’m laughing here*
Please come back and visit me, you never know what I’m blogging about. Even if you don’t come back, I still thank you for reading today.
I will tell you more about myself when I finish playing with all these COOL buttons. If I don’t return right away.. it is because I pushed the buttons that they told me NOT to touch. ( I’m such a rebel)
I have recipes that I have been cooking for well over 50 years. I have recipes dated back to 1920’s, I also have thousands saved and copied to the computer since about 1997. Have patience with me, I’m still learning.
All Recipes WILL be posted in recipe form when I catch up ( I have to get a lot of them from my head to paper. Not all are written).
I will NOT post photos without asking permission first, And YOU SHOULDN’T EITHER.
Please act like an adult and be nice. No, you do not have to agree with our opinions but please respect them, and we will do the same.

I have been blogging for about 23 years. (updated)
I am not in the public eye as a super star, but decided to start a cooking blog.
I don’t make meals of lobster and caviar (yet). My meals are for REAL people. (OK, maybe lobster a couple times for Birthday meals, or Special occasions.Or if requested)
I don’t use fake food items to make photos look better. They will always look terrible especially when I don’t put my glasses on which is most of the time.
I’m just a kitchen gadget crazy lady. I have so many small appliances and gadgets that I forget what I have until I need one LOL.
I have never been anything but REAL.
I love to laugh and make fun of myself. And my family loves me this way.
I don’t have an expensive camera to take fancy photos. Most of the time I can’t even post the photos because they are blurred and unrecognizable . And yes I have photos that to this day I can’t tell you what it was.
I don’t have someone cleaning my home so I can shoot spotless photos of my kitchen. I am not worried if you see my clutter / mess / disaster area. I can clean my own kitchen after I have completely trashed it with both sinks full of dishes.I cook my own meals and love every bit of it.
So…. come and read about my day and meals.
I will have all posts filled in and the recipes posted after I move the rest of the blog over here. Please be patient.
And I want you to know that my opinion is just that, MY opinion.
(P.S Why shouldn’t I show photos of the products that I”m using? I have been told over and over not to do it).
But I like showing you the brand that I use so that your recipe will taste just like mine if you don’t change a single thing. Don’t get me wrong I love trying new brands but I like to show you a photo of the brand that I am using at that time.
What the hell is happening? I just put a bottle of rinse aid in my online basket and it was $13.32 … YES……THIRTEEN DOLLARS !! Okay fine it will last a while but come on.
Bread… milk…. eggs… butter… FRESH VEGGIES…. etc. (who the hell can afford meat?)
I am getting sick and tired of listening to news saying how the economy is so great these last four years.
We DO NOT get money from the government for food or housing or clothing. WE PAY OUR OWN WAY and it is expensive. I guess if I got hand outs…. I wouldn’t know anything about prices.
I am so sick and tired of the treatment of the “working class people”. We work the hardest and get NOTHING in return. Maybe we should sit on our fat butts and just collect.
No…….. personal care items… shampoo…soap…deodorant….toothpaste….etc
No ……laundry soap or dryer sheets or bleach
NO… over the counter stuff like aspirin, bandaids, etc.

I am sick and tired of this crap, it is getting worse daily and the lies on tv about how great things are is really ticking me off.
Those people saying that have never had to do the shopping etc. They have hired PEOPLE TO DO THAT for them.
They can save their lies because all of us SMART people aren’t buying their crap anymore.
The utilities are getting so bad that who can afford to put up holiday lights? (those collecting can…. utilities are paid for). Who will buy gifts? I am so upset at the DAILY Bull crap on local news and the worst are the ladies talk shows saying how great things are.
Wow….I feel so much better now (not really but sick of holding it in).
Since we cook EVER SINGLE meal….. 7 days a week I thought I would try some of these meat delivery people. Not sure their Large box will be enough for us but we are only at the planning stage now.
But I think I say that every year for almost 70 YEARS LOL
…
I will post the photos as I prepared each meal…. give me time (are you sick of reading that like I am sick of tying it?…lol I really am trying and I’m getting there. )
Be prepared to find NEW recipes and posts from the very beginning
I have found so many everyday recipes that i make weekly or monthly and I haven’t posted so I typed them up and will post with photos.
Update…. Oh my God we opened it and it smells so bad !!!
Look at this mayo. Look at the color of it. I turned it over and it is actually dark brown (see photos) But it is a little darker than tan color or beige. I have been using it for over 64 years so I KNOW what it should look like.
My camera is not capturing the brown color but trust me.
I am really get ticked off. I will NEED A FULL JAR today and now I have to change my plans.
When or before the OTHER show was canceled…. people would complain because MOST of the serious stories were people of color. Now with this new show…. it is the opposite . We KNOW there is serious crimes with people of color but they don’t want to upset anyone of that color.
When it is a white crime the camera stays on the story and those people look ridiculous. And they are serious crimes or they just show how stupid the white person is acting etc.
They will show a dumb drunk stupid white person from beginning to end but NOT a person of color crime…. always break to commercial or only show the “cutsie” ones or just traffic stops for expired tags etc.
When it is a person of color.. most of the time it is cute and fun and funny OR they break for commercial or to go to another story. NEVER serious crime and only for a few minutes. Oh but will show stories WITH THEIR FACES BLURRED.
Glad we NO LONGER WATCH. We call it ” The White crime show”.
(Update posting again …”Yearly”…. because SOME people are jerks and I’m calling them out.)
I was just told that I am NOT being ” Politically Correct”.
For me it IS….. “Merry Christmas”. I DO NOT tell others that they can not celebrate their holidays or tell them to” rename” them. STOP TELLING ME !
I don’t tell anyone that A “Menorah” is a “fancy candle or holiday candle”. Please don’t tell me its Happy Holidays for me and NOT Merry Christmas.
I don’t tell you that your Kwanzaa holiday is ‘wrong or made up”. Please don’t tell me how to celebrate.
I don’t tell you that my way is the ONLY way…. I say ” We all celebrate OUR OWN Holidays… We are ALL right”.
Even if you are an Atheist… you have a RIGHT NOT to believe… just like my RIGHT TO BELIEVE. !!!!!
I / Me/ Us / We celebrate CHRISTMAS. It is “Christ’s Mass” I don’t tell anyone how to celebrate the season… please don’t tell me how either.
I celebrate CHRISTMAS you should stop trying to change my holy days. You changed how you celebrate….. Mine can’t be changed, it is in my heart forever.
Whatever holiday you celebrate……. I WILL wish you ” A Holiday filled with friends, family, joy, laughter and lots of Love. May the New Year bring peace and love to everyone”.
You are my friend!
Plus… are you telling me that you have never had a Christmas Tree or Celebrated Christmas? Are you saying that you do NOT have time off during Christmas? So you do NOT benefit from MY holiday? You should be thankful for MY Christmas…. you get time off work. ( probably with pay).
If you feel that strongly about it…. I’m sure you will be at work on Christmas Day.
Don’t get me started… I was just told that I am NOT being ” Politically Correct”.
I don’t like to talk about religion but this gets me so maaaaaad.
Please pass MY LINK here…..bring readers here not copy and paste.
DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER:
Moved to North Dakota this fall. We heard that summers are fun and winter is beautiful. We think there is no more beautiful a place in the whole world!
December 8 – 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9 – We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!
December 12 – The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we’ll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we’ll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I’ll never want to see snow again. I don’t think that’s possible. Bob is such a nice man, I’m glad he’s our neighbor.
December 14 – Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn’t realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I’ll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn’t huff and puff so.
December 15 – 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4×4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife’s car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that’s silly. We aren’t in Alaska, after all. December 16 – Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
December 17 – Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should’ve bought a wood stove, but won’t admit it to her. God! I hate it when she’s right. I can’t believe I’m freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20 – Electricity’s back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but. they said they’re too busy playing hockey. I think they’re lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they’re out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they’re lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he’s lying.
December 22 – Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it’s so cold, it probably won’t melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob-who has a plow on his truck-for the rest of the winter, but he says he’s too busy. I think the asshole is lying.
December 23 – Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn’t she tell me to do that a month ago. She says she did but I think she’s lying.
December 24 – 6 inches – Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I’ll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling, and then he comes down the street…at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I’ve just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents…but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.
December 25 – Merry f—ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight – snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she’s a fricking idiot. If I have to watch “It’s A Wonderful Life” one more time, I’m going to feed her through a chipper shredder. December 26 – Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She’s really getting on my nerves.
December 27 – Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $4,400 to replace all my pipes. December 28 – Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!! December 29 – 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That’s the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30 – Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.
December 31 – I set fire to what’s left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8 – Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed ???
Swear to GOD this is real. This is ONE of them, the other is at the bottom.
This is what they advertise
I threw it away and had toast.
I put the other one in the fridge to show Arby’s.
The others were very unhappy with their roast beef sandwiches but at least edible.
UPDATE…. This is Arby’s reply.
“The cheesesteak as pictured is actually correctly portioned. We toast the sub bun and then place 4 circles of the garlic sauce which makes the sandwich appear messy. The amount of Steak & Cheese is actually correct.”
I sent the photo above from the website and said…. So THIS photo from your website is wrong? We will see if I get a reply or NOT.
update 10-29…. still no reply about the “ad” photo I sent them.
And stop supporting OTHER countries until you are supporting YOUR OWN CITIZENS !!!!
My God look at all the Vets out there needing help from a country that THEY fought for? Look at the senior citizens not able to buy food or stay warm.
He opened the boarders and only wants their votes but doesn’t want to care for them. DEMOCRATS only want them here to vote “democrats” in the future. He thinks they are stupid.
What a bunch of sh!t. Why do you want separate holidays…. separate nation anthem…. separate hair styles….separate entertainment channels (BET…. black entertainment channel)…. separate awards…..separate flags…separate organizations ( NAACP and BLM etc)…….etc etc etc?????
What happened to……. “We just wanted to be treated EQUAL and THE SAME ” ???
You are being treated differently because you are asking to be treated differently. !!!!
Outrageous! Border Patrol Agent Reveals Biden Regime Gives $2,200 of Taxpayers Money Per Illegal Immigrant Families Each Month, Plus a Plane Ticket, Housing, Food, Free Medical Services (VIDEO)
by Jim Hᴏft103 Comments
In a shocking revelation, Todd Bensman, the Center’s Texas-based Senior National Security Fellow, has reported that the Biden regime is allocating a staggering $2,200 per month to illegal immigrant families (1 parent & 1 child)for the cost of living expenses. This comes at a time when the average American on Social Security receives just $1,400 per month and Maui survivors with only $700.
According to a video interview with an anonymous Border Patrol Agent, illegal immigrants are “double dipping” the system. One parent and one child receive $2,200 per month, and then a separate parent and child—often from the same family—receive another $2,200 per month. This amounts to a whopping $4,400 per month for some immigrant families, a figure that exceeds what many working Americans earn.
This information supports the claims made by the legal immigration group ‘ALIPAC.’
“The Biden-Harris administration is giving more money to illegal immigrant invaders, than to our own U.S. citizens” William Gheen, president of ALIPAC told KTRH, “Once a person understands that, then that person will always be on our side of the illegal immigration debate, which is very simple. Keep them all out, send them all home.”
It doesn’t stop at monthly checks. These illegal immigrants are also given housing, food, free medical services, and even a ticket to a destination of their choice within the United States, according to the Border Patrol Agent.
He continued, “They used to do the monitors on the ankles, and those were being cut off. So now they give them phones.”
The Border Patrol Agent further added that cartels play a significant role in prepping the illegal immigrants before they cross the border.
“Cartel tells them everything. Word of mouth. These guys know everything that we do. It’s just the way it is,” the agent revealed.
This information suggests that illegal immigrants are incredibly well-informed about U.S. immigration procedures, including what to say when seeking asylum.
Not only are these individuals being coached on what to say to claim asylum, but they’re also arriving with all necessary documents, like birth certificates pre-printed by their home governments, according to Bensman.
Bensman added that it appears these illegal immigrants may not be subjected to asylum interviews anymore.
Under the Biden regime, homeless veterans and Americans were left on the street. Senior citizens only received $1,400/month in Social Security payments, and Maui survivors only got $700. This should piss every American off.
Gun Safe Manufacturer ‘Liberty Safe’ Gives FBI Access Code to a Protestor’s Safe Who Was Arrested at Gunpoint Due to Involvement in January 6th Capitol Event (VIDEO)
Liberty Safe, a renowned manufacturer of gun safes, is drawing scrutiny after complying with an FBI request to provide the combination to a safe owned by Nathan Hughes, who was present in the January 6, 2021 Capitol event.
Keith and Kevin Hodge, known as the Hodgetwins or Conservative Twins, broke the news, revealing that their friend Hughes was arrested in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Wednesday, August 30. The duo pointed out the contrast between the treatment of Hughes and the members of groups like BLM and Antifa, questioning the motivations behind such disparate actions.
According to the Hodgetwins, Nathan Hughes was raided by the FBI and arrested at gunpoint over his involvement in the January 6th Capitol event that occurred more than two and a half years ago.
“On the morning of August 30th, 2023, I was swarmed by 3 vehicles of heavily armed FBI agents and arrested with rifles pointed at me. I was booked and taken to a government facility where they made me give them DNA samples,” said Hughes in his GiveSendGo.
At the same time, the FBI raided Hughes’s house and disconnected his security cameras, and disabled his internet. Nathan Hughes’s girlfriend, who had recently suffered a miscarriage, was also held at gunpoint and handcuffed.
Not only did they turn off his security cameras and his internet, but the FBI also called the manufacturer of Hughes’s gun safe. The company willingly provided the safe’s passcode to the FBI after receiving proof of a valid warrant.
“At the same time, my home was raided by 10+ vehicles filled with armed FBI agents. They ordered my girlfriend Taylor out of the house with her hands up and had rifles pointed at her too. They put her in handcuffs, unplugged our home security cameras, and turned our house upside down searching it. A bunch of stuff from electronics to clothes was taken and we can’t find one of our security cams. They called the manufacturer of my Liberty Safe, got the pass code from them, and got into it too. Thank God our dogs weren’t harmed,” said Hughes.
According to Hughes, he was released with a GPS tracking ankle monitor and can’t leave Northwest Arkansas.
“I can’t talk about the case (it’s from January 6th 2021 at the Capitol), but I can say there are many things out there that paint me as violent anti-American domestic terrorist…and I wholeheartedly am NOT that. I’ve got a long legal journey ahead now and will face this head on and post updates. Thank y’all for your support,” he said.

Last week, a friend of ours was raided by the feds over J6, his name is Nathan Hughes and he’s from Fayetteville, Arkansas. Nate was raided by the FBI and arrested at gunpoint. His girlfriend (who just had a miscarriage) was held at gunpoint and put in handcuffs. The FBI turned off his security cameras, unplugged his internet, and flipped his house upside down in a search. The feds called the manufacturer of his Liberty Gun Safe and got the passcode to get into it too. All for protesting at the Capitol over 2 1/2 years ago.
He is being charged with crimes related to January 6th. He didn’t assault anyone and he didn’t vandalize anything. He is being labeled a domestic terrorist and a traitor to his country by woke leftists and the media.
Nate is just like us…he’s an outspoken American Patriot…he loves freedom, loves his country, and would do anything to preserve our rights. He’s been fighting to save our country for years now.
He’s also a small business owner with a family that relies on him.
We all know how heated this political climate is getting, but they’ve pushed too far and it’s time for people to speak up for people getting screwed by the system. BLM and Antifa can go burn down our cities and get off the hook, but Trump supporters get raided and rounded up for protesting.
Nate’s legal bills to fight these charges will be over $100,000, so we’re donating $5,000 to Nathan’s defense fund to start it out, and hope you can donate something too.
WATCH:
Liberty Safe issued a statement clarifying their stance on cooperating with law enforcement. The company claims that it only provides access codes to authorities after receiving proper legal documentation and has denied requests in the past that lacked a valid warrant.
New Yorkers were told to mask up for Labor Day weekend due to the new Covid variant EG.5.
The New York Health Department advised New Yorkers to wear masks. The advisory is voluntary…for now.
“As cases rise, precautions become increasingly important, especially for our most vulnerable New Yorkers who are older, disabled, or have underlying health conditions. Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, along with other proven prevention tools – like masking, testing, and staying home when sick – continue to be our best defense against COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses,” NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said.
“Antibodies from vaccination and prior infection will continue to provide some protection, as will available antiviral treatments like Paxlovid, which is still effective against all circulating strains of COVID-19,” he said.
New Yorkers are being told to consider masking up this Labor Day weekend due to concerns about rising Covid cases and two new variants.
A spokesman for NYC’s health department told DailyMail.com that wearing a mask may be a ‘good idea’ in crowded indoor areas this weekend when people are expected to congregate in large groups for the holidays.
But they also expressed that ‘nothing about the guidance has changed’ and that the city currently had no plans to make masks compulsory.
Hospital exec says White race should be made to feel uncomfortable about its ‘Whiteness’: ‘Dangerous’
The MaineHealth executive claims White people are conditioned to be racist
By Hannah Grossman Fox News
Published
Ohio students were reportedly denied re-enrollment to a private school after Amy Gonzalez and Andrea Gross launched a campaign against indoctrination.
A Maine hospital executive involved in diversity, equity and inclusion hosted an antiracist prayer service that had a group of White people apologize for their internalized racism as White people, according to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Ryan Polly is a vice president of DEI at MaineHealth, a hospital system of over 20,000 employees. He has said the hospitals cater to overwhelmingly White patients, which is reflected by local demographics.
Polly refers to himself as a “minister” of a group called One Spirit. According to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital, which has since been scrubbed, Polly is shown teaching attendees how to be practitioners of antiracism through a prayer that he dedicated to “loving spirits who are known by many names.”
The DEI leader’s ideology is steeped in critical race theory. He said during the prayer services that he himself maintains “racist narratives and biases,” and attributed those to his skin color.

“Only then can we become equipped to… challenge the systems that have been designed to give us the advantage and oppress everyone else,” he said about becoming an antiracist practitioner.
“As the head of diversity, equity and inclusion at a major health system, I think frequently about my role as White person first and as a diversity leader second. I think about the responsibility I have to continue the deep internal work of… understanding my own racist narrative and biases,” Polly said. “I think about the privilege my Whiteness affords me and the choices Whiteness allows me to have… My Whiteness keeps me and my family safe.”
MaineHealth defended Polly, stating, “Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion stems from our organizational values, mission and vision. This work strengthens our connections with patients and ultimately helps us to deliver higher-quality care. Consistent with our value of Respect and our role as an institution of learning, we welcome and encourage divergent viewpoints and dialogue among our patients and care team.”
However, Polly’s views on DEI contain outright stereotyping of people on the basis of being White, claiming that they are conditioned to be racist and oppressive.

For example, Polly said that White people acquire “ignorance,” “biases” and “racist thoughts” on the basis of their belonging to a “life of Whiteness.”
“This evening has been designed with White people in mind not to take the stage. We have plenty of places to take the stage,” he said, starting off the prayer. “We [need] to… begin the work to join the fight… We need to ensure we… do the work to challenge our ignorance, our biases and the racist thoughts that we’ve acquired through the life of Whiteness.”
In a portion of the prayer focused on “dismantling the system,” Polly encouraged the White people attending to feel uncomfortable with the messages.
“Let us develop the courage to dive [into] deeply experienced discomfort. Let’s sit with it… knowing that the answers come not from our own conscious thinking because that thinking is shaped by racist constructs. The answers lie deeper,” he said. “Let us leave with the tenacity to become anti-racist and continue the fight, even on the days when we could simply choose not to. Amen.”
Polly referred to the outrage that spilled out into the streets amid tensions on racial justice sparked by police shootings. (Stanton Sharpe/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)
The hospital executive has referred to himself as “slightly unhinged” in song lyrics posted to his YouTube channel, which has since been deleted after a comment request was sent. Polly’s antiracist prayer service was also made private after the query to MaineHealth.
“It certainly explains a lot about why Polly has relentlessly pushed a DEI agenda at MaineHealth for the past two and a half years,” a source at MaineHealth told Fox News. The insider called for MaineHealth to immediately remove Polly, “and get back to the business of taking care of patients.”
“Left unchecked, this dangerous messaging will lead to even more division and distrust,” the source said.
After the prayer, Polly said that White people were somehow connected to people, such as police, who have shot and killed Black people.

“I am White… You share something with Darren Wilson [who shot Michael Brown] and George Zimmerman [who shot Trayvon Martin]. We share the experience of living in a culture that tells us that our lives have more value just because we’re White,” said Polly.
“I choose to consider these collective wounds as implicating all of us. And that their healing requires my participation because I am White,” Polly added.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of Do No Harm, a medical group seeking to restore the medical field to its founding ideals, previously said Polly continues to be “demeaning [of] himself and his institution.”

Hollywood studio Lionsgate has reinstated a mask mandate for nearly half of the company’s employees at its flagship office located in Santa Monica, California.
This announcement comes after several employees allegedly tested positive for COVID-19.
The policy change was announced internally in an email by Sommer McElroy, Response Manager for Lionsgate/Starz, a copy of which was obtained by Deadline.
Effective immediately, employees on the 3rd and 5th floors of the five-story building are required to wear medical-grade face coverings such as surgical masks, KN95, or N95.

Morris Brown College, a private institution in Atlanta, has announced that it will require students and employees to wear face masks on campus once again.
The decision comes just a week after classes began and will be in effect for two weeks.

Japan to release Fukushima nuclear wastewater into ocean on Thursday
South Korea has demanded an immediate halt to the process if radioactive concentrations are detected following the release
The Japanese government is set to begin releasing wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant on Thursday, slowly unloading the liquid before the tanks reach capacity in 2024.
After years of planning the water’s disposal and testing its radioactive contents, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida gave the green light for the operation Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting.
“The government will take responsibility until the disposal of [Advanced Liquid Processing System]-treated water is completed, even if it takes several decades,” Kishida said.
Trump was indicted this week on felony charges alleging that he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The bogus indictment comes as a result of an investigation conducted by special counsel Jack Smith, who previously indicted Trump in a separate case involving classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Trump’s legal team presented their initial arguments. The arraignment is a formal reading of the charges, and Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.
In a passionate display of support for former President Donald Trump, crowds gathered outside a courthouse Thursday where the ex-president was facing ongoing legal scrutiny.

Among these supporters, a particularly vocal black man eloquently expressed his loyalty to Trump and his condemnation of those who opposed the former president unfairly.
“I’m here to support Trump,” he said.
As others joined him, the conversation quickly turned to heated remarks about injustices and anger towards Jack Smith.

“So I’m here to show Jack Smith that he’s a punk and that he’s an ugly sellout,” he added.
“That’s right,” said others.
His passion only grew as he spoke about Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and others for opposing Trump without justification. The supporters likened their actions to a historical practice of parading kings in handcuffs, an act meant to humiliate.
“And I’m here to let [Smith] know that he’s going to jail for treason. Him, Biden, and Obama, and all of the other s*ckers that are going against Trump for no reason.”

“I’m here to humiliate you because you are a sellout, and you are a person that is evil, breaking every rule and law,” he added.
The Black supporters then turned their attention to the unequal application of the law, particularly citing Hunter Biden as an example.
“This dude is free to snort coke on camera, get guns, break every rule and law, don’t pay taxes. They don’t even want to put him in jail.”
“But if I did it, you’re going to jail for 9,216 years. That’s unfair, because you know what that is?”

VIDEO: Deranged Moviegoer Violently Assaults Helpless Elderly Man Inside Florida Theater – Suspect and Date Were Sitting in Victim’s VIP Seats Before Attack
Pompano Beach, Florida – An elderly Florida man was brutally assaulted in a movie theater after politely asking a couple to vacate his pre-booked VIP seat.
Terrifying footage released to the public by the Broward Country Sheriff’s office Thursday shows the perpetrator jumping and then viciously beating the helpless 63-year-old white victim.
The Daily Mail reported the incident occurred on July 10 at around 10 PM. The movie playing at the time was the new Mission: Impossible movie starring Tom Cruise.
According to FOX 35 Orlando, the victim told officials that he and his wife purchased VIP tickets for the movie, which included advance seating. By the time they arrived, the suspect and his date were in their spots.
The footage begins with the perp getting within inches from the victim’s face before the incident turns violent. The suspect then launches himself at the old man who is next seen falling down a set of stairs at the side of the theater.
WATCH:
Once the victim is on the ground, his assailant begins throwing several haymakers at his face. Theater-goers later arrive to stop the horrifying assault and pull the deranged suspect away.
The 63-year-old man suffered several injuries to his face and head due to to the attack. He was later treated at a local hospital according to the New York Post.
Surveillance captured clear images of the suspect after he left the theater along with his date.

Rapper Kodak Black endorsed Donald Trump for President in 2024.
Kodak Black is one of the top rappers in the world today.
Kodak Black says, “We need Donald Trump in office, forever!”
It may have something to do with the two-tiered justice system under Joe Biden that punished minorities and Trump supporters but gives top Democrats and lawless government officials a pass.
News broke in June that Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to multiple criminal charges, according to CNN. The investigation into Hunter Biden has supposedly lasted five years.
After five years of investigation, the Biden DOJ found Hunter Biden guilty of TWO MISDEMEANORS and ONE GUN CHARGE!
Of course, this is a complete bastardization of the US Justice System. The serial criminal is slapped with misdemeanors after we know he was using classified documents leaked to him by his father to set up lucrative deals with foreign officials.
Hunter will serve NO TIME in prison for his latest criminal actions.
The same DOJ sent rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black to prison for years on gun charges. Both rappers were granted a pardon by President Donald Trump.
Bradford Cohen, a seasoned attorney, and representative of renowned rapper Kodak Black, expressed his discontent over the Justice Department’s decision concerning Hunter Biden’s case.
Hunter managed to escape potential imprisonment by pleading guilty to federal tax and firearms charges, a move that Cohen finds deeply problematic.
Contrasting Hunter Biden’s case, Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kapri, faced similar charges in 2019.
According to New York Post, the Grammy-nominated artist was found guilty of providing false information on a federal gun purchase form to procure three firearms from a shop in Miami. Given his criminal record, Black was not eligible to buy these weapons.
Despite pleading guilty, Black was handed a sentence exceeding three years in federal prison.
“2 tiers of justice? Kodak was charged for the same crime. Got over 3 years,” Cohen wrote on his Instagram Tuesday.
“Mr. Biden will not serve a day. Feels right? Do FBI agents and federal authorities take cases personally? I’m going to discuss this on my subscriber page,” he added.
In a Twitter post, Cohen said that in all his years working in the criminal justice system, he has never had a client get out of jail time after pleading guilty to charges like unlawful gun possession or tax evasion.
“After 26 years, I have yet to have a plea in a case with an illegal possession of a weapon and tax evasion, that did not come with some kind of prison sentence. Indigents charged the same way would be getting jail time,” he wrote.
“Even in the case of paying off coaches to get their kids into college came with a prison sentence. One even got 2 weeks, even though she was scoring no jail time. The system was so petty that they made her surrender to a federal prison for 2 weeks! But in this case nothing,” he added.
Grand Old Partisan highlights a classic of political oratory. In his I Have a Dream speech, Martin Luther King echoed these words spoken by Archibald Carey, on July 8th 1952 at the Republican National Convention:
“Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing, Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrims’ pride, From every mountainside, Let freedom ring!”
“That’s exactly what we mean — from every mountain side, let freedom ring. Not only from the Green Mountains and White Mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire, not only from the Catskills of New York, but from the Ozarks in Arkansas; from the Stone Mountain in Georgia, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia — let it ring not only for the minorities of the United States, but for the disinherited of all the earth – may the Republican Party, under God, from every mountainside, LET FREEDOM RING!”
Here is the audio.
Reverend Carey, a Black civil rights activist from Chicago, was a Republican city councilman and judge. He served in the Eisenhower administration as delegate to the United Nations. The President also named him to his Committee on Government Employment Policy.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Archibald Carey back in 2008.
Archibald Carey was appointed Chair of the President’s Committee on Government Employment Policy by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on August 3, 1957. He was the first African-American to hold this position. Mr. Carey also served as an alternate delegate from the United States to the United Nations from 1953 to 1956.
In 1952Rev. Archibald Carey gave a speech at the Republican National Convention. Here is part of that “not so well known” speech by Rev. Archibald Carey, Jr. at the Republican Convention in 1952:
“We, Negro Americans, sing with all loyal Americans:
My country ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrims’ pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!
That’s exactly what we mean —
from every mountain side, let freedom ring.
Not only from the Green Mountains and White Mountains
of Vermont and New Hampshire;
not only from the Catskills of New York;
but from the Ozarks in Arkansas,
from the Stone Mountain in Georgia,
from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
— let it ring not only for the minorities of the United States,
but for the disinherited of all the earth —
may the Republican Party, under God, from every mountainside,
LET FREEDOM RING!”

And, here are the famous words from the “I Have a Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on August 28, 1963:
This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning,
“My country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim’s pride,
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring.”
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true.
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was arrested late Monday evening for fatally shooting 5 people and injuring two children in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Philadelphia.
Carriker, described as a 40-year-old male, was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying an AR-style rifle, a handgun, and a police scanner.
It appears Kimbrady Carriker is a transgender or a crossdresser based on photos posted to his Facebook page.
Sources identified the suspect in Monday’s mass shooting in Southwest Philadelphia as Kimbrady Carriker.
Carriker, 40, of Philadelphia, was arrested after being accused of killing five people and injuring two children in a shooting spree in the Kingsessing section of the city, sources said.
Shortly before 8:30 p.m., police responded to gunfire in the area of South 56th Street and Chester Avenue, said Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw. About 10 minutes later, with police following the suspect as he continued to fire a gun, he was cornered several blocks away in an alleyway on the 1600 block of South Frazier Street, she said.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident, police said.
Tina Rosette, 49, said she lived with Carriker for about a year on the 5600 block of Belmar Terrace in 2021. She said he was “really smart, intelligent, creative,” and loved working on computer programs.
She was shocked to hear he could’ve been involved in such a brutal act of gun violence, saying she’d never seen him with a gun before.
”I didn’t even know he had a gun,” she said.
Still, she said Carriker did have “an aggressive approach to some things in life.” One example: She said he sometimes taught young people how to fight, purportedly in self-defense, but didn’t give them much direction about how or when to stop.”
Facebook posts published by the Post Millennial show Kimbrady Carriker supported Black Lives Matter.
Destroyed Solar Panels In Hailstorm Will End Up In Landfills Because Recycling Isn’t Economical
The panels of a solar farm in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, that were destroyed in a hailstorm last week will likely be taken to a landfill. There’s no way to recycle a solar panel to produce another one, and it’s not economical to recover minerals from them.

The extent of the damage at a Scottsbluff solar farm that was heavily damaged in a hailstorm last week remains unknown.
“They’re still working through that process,” Grant Otten, spokesperson for the Nebraska Public Power District, which buys electricity from the solar farm, told Cowboy State Daily.
Cowboy State Daily reached out to Sol Systems, which financed and developed the project, but didn’t receive a response.
While some of the solar panels at the farm may be salvageable, as well as other equipment, it’s likely many of the panels will need to be discarded.
Even if solar panels aren’t destroyed by weather events, they gradually stop producing much electricity and reach the end of their lives in 20 to 30 years.
By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency estimates that 78 million tons of solar panels will come to that point.
Recycling
While renewable energy proponents are pinning their hopes on recycling to deal with this coming deluge of e-waste from dead solar panels, only about 10% of them are recycled, and only a small portion of any single panel provides recoverable minerals.
B.F. Randall, who has a background in project development and finance, told Cowboy State Daily that a lot of people are under the impression that recycling a solar panel means you make a new solar panel.
“A solar panel has very little mineral content relative to the volume of the panel,” Randall said. “So, it’s just not something that can be recycled in that sense.”
Polysilicon
The polysilicon in solar panels cannot be recycled at all, he said.
It takes 3 to 5 tons of polysilicon to produce 1 megawatt worth of solar panels. To make it, they take silicon dioxide and mix it with carbon, which is most often derived from coal. However, it’s possible to use wood or graphite.
The mixture is dropped in a furnace at about 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit, which means it takes large amounts of constant energy to produce the heat needed for the process.
For every ton of polysilicon produced, 3-4 tons of silicon tetrachloride, a highly toxic compound, also are produced.
As solar panels reach the end of their useful lives, most of that polysilicon will need to be disposed of in landfills.
“Polysilicon … can’t ever be recycled back into polysilicon. If it’s fake cycled into sand it would be absolutely toxic,” Randall said.
Other minerals
It is possible to recover aluminum and copper from a panel’s frame and junction box.
The Grist, a publication of a pro-renewable nonprofit, reported that a recycled panel will produce about $3 in recovered aluminum, copper and glass, which after transportation costs will cost between $12 and $25 to get.
The same panel tossed into a landfill will cost less than a buck.
There is also a small amount of silver to recover from the panel that’s worth less than the cost to recover it.
As Randall explains in a Substack article, solar panels contain about 60 grams of silver paste. Each panel only has a tiny amount, but the industry altogether consumes 9% of all silver produced in the world.
If that solar paste were refined silver, it would be worth $6 — but it’s not refined.
Randall said in an interview that the paste contains contaminants that have diluted that refined silver.
“You can’t recover the silver. It doesn’t work that way,” he said.
Regulations
So long as the cost to recover minerals from the solar panels exceeds the value produced, the best way to deal with destroyed or exhausted solar panels is to throw them away, like is done with most wind turbine blades.
Some nonprofits are shipping dead panels to developing countries where the weak amount of electricity they produce still has some benefit to people who have no access to other sources of power.
The European Union is trying to address the problem by requiring manufacturers to finance end-of-life collection and recycling, which will increase the cost of the panels.
So far, only Washington state has passed similar legislation, which will go into effect in 2025.

Let me start with a question or two or six…
Is anyone else pissed off with the way the country is falling apart?
Lets start with this first….
Since when do teachers or schools TELL ADULT MOMS and DADS how to raise their child? What gives them the right? Why do they think they have the RIGHT to THEY teach YOUR CHILD about sex? Why do they think GIVING your child a pornographic book is OKAY ?
Do they pay the mortgage for the children?
Do they buy the monthly food for those children?
Do they buy the clothes for those children?
DID THEY GROW THAT CHILD IN THEIR BODY?
Do they pay medical for those children?
Do they SUPPORT THOSE CHILDREN?
HOW DARE ANY OF YOU THAT ALLOW SOMEONE TO DICTATE TO YOU ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!!
Why aren’t you at the school b!tching and complainig? AREN’T you supposed to be the parent or are you just too lazy or busy? (Too busy for YOUR child? Don’t get me started there)
Children need to kids… they will never get that time back. When they learn this stuff at a young age…. they are NO LONGER INNOCENT CHILDREN.
Go google videos of teachers teaching YOUR child LIES and making them LIE to you and shutting them up from talking about it.
YOUR CHILD IS NOT TELLING YOU WHAT IS HAPPENING and WHAT THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT BEHIND YOUR BACK. !!!!
The School board belongs in SCHOOL BUSINESS …. NOT YOUR HOME BUSINESS.
THEY WERE BREAKING THE LAW..What the hell was wrong with that man?THE LAWS ARE FOR ALL… NOT SOME !
The bike rider was SPEEDING though the streets….. RUNNING from police and CARRYING A GUN. And the other MANY 4 wheeler and DIRT bikes ran and got away.
They were doing ILLEGAL things so stop your STUPID PREACHING about them NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG. That guy wanted the police to call his mother? He was an adult…. stop this stupid crap.
The cops did what they were supposed to do… they were STOPPING these people from committing the CRIMES.
NO MORE watching on patrol live for our OPL PARTIES EVERY WEEKEND !!!!
Sick and tired of watching the people BREAKING the LAW get away with it.
Why the hell do the rest of us have to have a LEGAL license or proof of insurance ETC? Why do we follow the laws and watch EVERY WEEK the cops keep letting them go?
This is NOT a POLICE show….. It is an embarrassment !!!
STOP the cops from PLAYING TO THE CAMERA… We watch for the ACTION.
This is NOT THE ONLY CRINGING MOMENT ON ON THIS SHOW.
Men sitting back complaining but not doing anything to fix it….. Women letting men walk all over them and not respecting them…..kids acting like little thugs and parents that allow it…. JUST PEOPLE being idiots.
BLM Leader and Boston’s Woman of the Year is Arrested, Indicted on Federal Charges for Squandering $1 Million in Donations on Hotels, a New Home and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. (VIDEO)
A Black Lives Matter activist and the Boston Globe‘s Woman of the Year was indicted on Tuesday on federal charges for squandering much of her $1 million from her nonprofit on expensive hotel stays, vacations, and meals at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
Monica Cannon Grant also raised her salary from $25,000 in 2020 to $170,000 in 2021.
A BLM activist has been charged over a huge fraud which is said to have included blowing a grant intended for young men at risk of violence on trips to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Shake Shack and a nail salon.
Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, is also said to have paid herself $2,700-a-week and treated herself to a $450,000 five-bed house in Taunton, Massachusetts, last year.
She is accused of using much of the $1 million raised by her nonprofit Violence in Boston Inc for good causes. Her salary jumped from $25,000 in 2020 to $170,000 in 2021.
Cannon-Grant – once named a Bostonian of the Year by the prestigious Boston Globe newspaper – was arrested at her spacious home last week. She appeared in a federal court Monday alongside husband Clark Grant, 38, with the pair facing 18 separate criminal counts dating from 2017 to July 2021. She has denied all allegations made against her.
Judge Judith Dein raised eyebrows after releasing Cannon-Grant on her own recognizance and saying she could continue to work for Violence in Boston – the nonprofit she’s accused of using as a front for her crimes – but that she must not be involved in its finances.
The couple are said to have misappropriated grants intended for their charity, including a $6,000 check given to them by Suffolk District Attorney’s office in June 2019, intended to be spent on a retreat for young men feared to be at risk of falling into crime.
Instead, Cannon-Grant and Grant treated themselves to meals at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and Shake Shack, and a three night break to Maryland that included a $1,200 hotel stay, it is claimed.
This morning we received this email from a Gateway Pundit reader:
Hi Jim,
I don’t now if you’re aware of it but it appears that duckduckgo is now filtering out your website. I switched over to their android app back in 2020 and I could just type in “thegatewaypundit.com” and your site would be the first to come up.
Last week I noticed it wouldn’t come up at all anymore unless I add the www. In front of it. This morning I noticed even if I type the whole thing now, it doesn’t come up at all.
I just tested the duckduckgo.com search using chrome and searching on www.thegatewaypundit.com does not return your site at all.
As I’m sure you are – getting a bit sick of this.
Best,
Kevin
Thanks Kevin, yes we are. Later today we did a search on gatewaypundit on DuckDuckGo to see what we get.
If you search for The Gateway Pundit on DuckDuckGo they do not even list the front page of our website in their search engine.
And they include the Wikipedia slander and every other major hit piece on The Gateway Pundit instead.
We have been disappeared. Despite having millions of readers a day the top articles that pop up for Gateway Pundit include hit pieces that had no traffic.
What adds insult to injury is that the search engines and Big Tech demons will allow knock-off sites to steal our content word-for-word, including photos and video and that is OK. That is approved. This is the evil we are up against.
Today Breitbart posted a report on DuckDuckGo. They have become Google. They are actively censoring conservative content that does not fit their world view.
Popular privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo, commonly considered an alternative to Google, has announced that it will be “down-ranking” sites associated with “disinformation,” along with adding “information boxes” to “highlight quality information.” The announcement received widespread backlash from DuckDuckGo supporters, who view the changes as adopting the censorship policies of the Masters of the Universe.
In a recent Twitter post, the CEO of privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo announced that the company would be downranking “sites associated with disinformation,” which has been a popular tactic by Google for years to reduce user access to content it considers objectionable.
DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg tweeted about the decision, stating that it was an effort to reduce Russian disinformation online. “Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create. #StandWithUkraine️,” Weinberg stated, adding: “At DuckDuckGo, we’ve been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation.”
Weinberg goes on to say that DuckDuckGo will also be placing news modules and information boxes at the top of certain search results to highlight “quality information for rapidly unfolding topics.” This was a method used by many search engines and social media sites during the coronavirus pandemic to push official government narratives and information — that regularly changed drastically — to internet users.
Here are Weinberg’s tweets.

Well, we are through with DuckDuckGo. Any suggestions?
A truck and trailer carrying about 100 monkeys collided with a dump truck Friday afternoon along Route 54 just off Interstate 80 near Danville, Pennsylvania.
Three monkeys escaped the crash. The monkeys were later reportedly “humanely euthanized.”
The CDC is now monitoring local residents for cold-like symptoms.
That’s very comforting considering the lab leak from Wuhan that just destroyed the global economy.
The monkeys are originally from Mauritius off the African coast.
According to a CDC spokesperson, the monkeys were en route to a CDC-approved quarantine facility after landing Friday morning in New York. They are originally from Mauritius, a country in eastern Africa.
The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, that’s when the three monkeys got free in the Danville area.
Police say the driver who was transporting the monkeys was charged in the crash.
Originally, state police told us four monkeys were on the loose.
As of Saturday afternoon, some people were still worried.
“Little monkeys, we got bears, we have coyotes, we have deer, you know all the time. A little 3-pound monkey doesn’t scare me, but why are they so concerned about it is what concerns me,” said Howie Lerch, Valley Township.
Friday night Newswatch 16 spoke with Michelle Fallon of Danville, who saw the entire accident. She jumped into action; helping both drivers and the loads they were carrying.
“I walk up back on the hill and this guy tells me, ‘Oh, he’s hauling cats. I said, ‘oh.’ So I go over to look in the crate and there’s this green cloth over it. So I peel it back, I stick my finger in there and go ‘kitty, kitty.’ It pops its head up and it’s a monkey,” Fallon said.
Fallon was contacted Saturday by the CDC and was told to monitor herself for any cold-like symptoms.
I have about three YEARS of recipes, photos and many recipes to post so I have been busy finding them…finding the photos that go with them ect. Have patients with me ok?
I have sat here and listened to a bunch of nuts screaming and yelling almost daily about how badly they are being treated but can NOT tell me how they are being treated badly.
I have a big mouth too so maybe it’s time to turn the tables and have them listen to me.
MY OPINION is just as important as theirs.
Stop being a cry baby! I asked why they were out there protesting everyday and not at work. TWO people out the 19 people I asked had a job.
This is the LAST one purchased and it was the worst mistake I could have made.
I read all the reviews and still thought I should buy it since the reviews said that the brand is getting better.
I keep saying “never again” but this has to be it.
This is the coffee maker I bought.
It rusted out within a month. I am so disappointed that this brand has changed so much.
I contacted the company and they never replied. I left a review and no reply. I am in my late years and have been buying them forever. What a let down.
Update 2-20 ……Ok its getting close will there be a delivery on the 24th?

Supposedly it will be delivered at the end of this month…..
Look out Sears… you will also have to return ALL my monthly charges since you already took my money MONTHS ago. I WANT the “interest” that you are collecting on my money too.
(Read the TWO articles below to understand what I’m talking about).
This is their meal the last time they time ( 12-7-2019), brought it home. Look at the date….. this cheating fries in NOT something new.
Update… Jan 4, 2020
I asked them to show me their food. They were not happy since they only had a few minutes to eat. I told them to look for this but… they are YOUNG and don’t want to be bothered. They were really mad when I showed them though.

A McDonald’s Employee Leaked How It’s Been Cheating Customers Out Of Fries
Photo credit: Joe Raedle/Getty
You’ve been there before. A few times, maybe. That moment when, just as you’re getting ready to inhale a combo meal from McDonald’s, you pull out your box of French fries only to notice that the medium you ordered contains around the same amount of fries that a small would. So what gives? According to a Reddit thread, McDonald’s employees have a secret way of cheating you out of a regular amount of fries.
A user named ExperiMENTALbunny responded to the thread claiming to have worked at McDonald’s, and revealed the interesting “pinching” method that employees of the fast food chain use to make it look like there are more French fries in your carton than there actually are.
“I worked at McDonald’s and they taught me how to pinch the fry carton just right while putting the fries into them so that it looked full, but actually wasn’t,” he wrote. *gasp* If this is true then it’ll probably hurt your heart to imagine all of the delicious French fries you’ve been cheated out of throughout your life. Then again, it’s not entirely unbelievable, since McDonald’s employees apparently have a lot of secret practices that non-employees aren’t even aware of. (I posted this article at the end of this one. wait until you read that one too).
Still, there was one case when this little trick didn’t work out too well for ExperiMENTALbunny. He continued with his comment, “I only had 1 customer call me out on it. He shook the fries out into his bag and poured them back into the fry carton himself and it only filled up half way, so I had to give him more fries. I was impressed and embarrassed. It’s been 7 years and I can still see his face.”
The next time you feel like you’ve been shorted by McDonald’s in regards to those beloved French fries, you’ll at least know why. At that point you should take a cue from the customer above.
10 Things McDonald’s Staff Do But Would Never Admit To
Wait — THAT’S why the milkshake tasted so bland?!
By Lucy Partington
One former employee reveals what really went down when customers (and managers) weren’t watching, but don’t worry — some of them work in your favor. Here’s what happens more often than you might imagine.
1. Eat the leftovers once the restaurant closes. Freshly cooked nuggets we miiiight have accidentally cooked 5 minutes before closing taste even better after a 10-hour shift.
2. If you’re rude to us we’ll subliminally get our own back. Extra ice in your coke? Squashing your burger before we put it in the bag? Only half filling your fry box? Missing something off your order on purpose? Check. Check. Check. Check.
3. Sometimes your vanilla milkshake will have no flavor in it because we can’t be bothered to replace the empty bag of syrup. Plain shake mix is basically vanilla anyway, right?
4. We customize our own burgers to eat during breaks and basically created thesesecret menu hacks. A Big Mac with bacon? A McChicken Sandwich with cheese? Or that Chicken Big Mac that’s only available in Australia? Yep, we’ve definitely made that before.
5. If you’re kind and polite, we’ll probably give you extra McFlurry toppings.Have you ever had caramel sauce on a McFlurry? Or had sauce and chocolate at the bottom of the cup, ice cream in the middle and more sauce and chocolate on the top? Bloody fantastic, believe us.
6. We’ve definitely said we’ve run out of apple pies, even if we haven’tbecause they take approx. 4,000 years to cook and literally nobody has time for that. Sorry.
7. We may or may not take advantage of the Monopoly vouchers we find lying around. Sure, why wouldn’t we go to another restaurant and get a free Sausage and Egg McMuffin or Cheeseburger? Free food is free food.
8. And those free coffee vouchers you hand over when you’ve painstakingly collected all six stickers?Yeah, we don’t always rip those up and put them in the bin like we should …
9. If we go for a ‘toilet break’ mid-shift, we usually go for a snack break, too.Maybe a bottle of orange juice or something from the huge walk-in chillers out the back.
10. We play games with the old chicken nuggets. Before we chuck old nuggets out, we’ll sometimes have some fun with them. You only need two people to play, one to bat (using a bun spatula as the racket, obvs) and the other person to bowl. Nugget football works too. Waste not, want not!
( our whole family has been raised with these dates…. don’t get in a hurry)
If you find yourself stumped over this very question year after year, consider letting tradition be your guide—and don’t let the “how long is too long” debate take over yet another Christmas dinner. Dating back to the 4th century, many Christians have marked the end of the Christmas season on the Twelfth Night (or 12 nights after Christmas), an evening also known as the Eve of the Epiphany.
The Epiphany marks the day the Three Kings (or Wise Men) visited baby Jesus, and is either celebrated on January 5 or January 6 (depending on whether you count Day One as Christmas or not). Although Christian groups reportedly disagree over which date is the correct one, tradition dictates that the Twelfth Night is the best time to take down your festive decorations—including your tree. It’s believed that waiting too long after the Twelfth Night will bring bad luck.
Of course, all of this to say that you should really take down your Christmas tree when it’s the most convenient time for you and your family. Whether that’s the day after Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or whenever you can get to it, there’s really no “correct” answer. After all, you worked awfully hard hanging up all that tinsel: You should feel free to enjoy it for as long as you want.
Bumping for gift ideas. I want to make little bags for gifts but baking is sooooo slow. Just in case leaving this up here.
Original post Aug 8,2015
Before making your own products, learn about oils and dangers etc. BE SMART and Make money. EBAY cheap for everything you will need from molds, oils, tubes, bottles, jars, bags ETC. Watch for many more recipes for body products. Someone can use them so I am glad to post. Please do your research so you make safe products. Great for gifts or extra money.
Have you ever wondered how everyone comes out with their own make up and body products almost overnight? Because it is easy. I love my own safe products.
Be safe when making products. Safety is so important so memorize do’s and don’t so it remains so much fun. Pretty soon you will be making your own products.
Shimmering Lip Balm Recipe
I have been my own cosmetics since about 2008. I’ve made lip gloss, foundation, chap stick, body powder, natural bronzer, homemade lipstick and eye pencils etc.
A natural option that shines and makes you feel pretty.
For coloring…. I use something called Mica and it also provides a wonderful, subtle shimmer. Definition ….Mica is a brittle silicate mineral and it comes in many colors. It is considered safe and non-toxic, with a green rating of 2 by the Environmental Working Group.
I’ve been experimenting with Mica in homemade cosmetics a lot lately and have a lot of new recipes to share in the next couple of months, but this shimmer lip balm was by far my favorite. It provides a slight shimmer and subtle color that accentuates the natural color of the lips and brightens your smile without looking fake or unnatural.
Why not just use regular lipstick? Why not put something on your body that you made and you made with safe products. The store purchased lipsticks seem harmless, many lipsticks contain toxic ingredients, which is especially problematic due to the close proximity to the mouth. Some things found in conventional lipsticks are frightening and I will not tell you what is it them because it is absolutely disgusting. But bug butts are used for coloring . (you don’t believe me do you? Google bug butts and coloring)
I have been buying these since the day they came out. This is the newest one…. I am sick to my stomach because of throwing my other one away to buy this one. My heart hurts.
The reason for this post? Because today (12-8) I also lost a rib roast that I thought was going to be for Christmas. It was going to feed a large group and it was absolutely perfect.I am so upset now, I used to use it daily.
These are two bags of country ribs. Freezer burnt yet again. I’m not used to this ever happening. Now it’s almost weekly.
Please “WHITE LIST” my blog…… or unblock the tracking/ads in the address URL. (look under your settings for tracking or blocking or something like that. From there you will see something called white list…. add my blog please)
PLEASE????
You may be interested in the ads like kitchen items, gadgets, clothing etc. If it bothers you, you can block it.
I tried to keep it as simple as possible so it won’t bother you. I don’t get anything unless someone clicks on them so don’t feel that they are there for me to make a million. In all the years, I have earned 1.00. I don’t earn unless someone clicks.
I don’t want anyone to be bothered by them but I wanted a chance to buy more grocery items to interest everyone.
Update 12-30….. Oh my God…. please don’t fall for the Cultish program out there. It sounds sooooo frightening. NO DIET should target your mind in that way.
Even if you don’t ever come back here… please check with your doctor with ANY diet you follow and do not follow one that targets your mind before even explaining their diet plan. That has me so worried about the people going in blindly.
Before following my plan or any other plan check with your doctor.
Here I go again. Way too many desserts and stuffing my face with “anything I could find”.
Time to get back on my program and lose yet again. I think I told myself last year that I will not gain again. yep, okay whatever .
Here I go again. I’m not sure which plan I will follow. I have lost weight on so many of them. Maybe I will do the easy fast way and use “my plan”. I will let you know when I start and I will update this post OR make a new post everyday of all meals and snacks.
Update… got started researching meals and plans and lots of recipes. But I will still post about desserts with recipes and goodies. Not everyone will be on diets right? LOL
I have been reading and taking notes like crazy. I will update.
A part of my pie crust fell off and ended up in the slat at the bottom of the oven. It started to burn and it was not a small fire. I had it out in 10 seconds but if I didn’t notice, it would have been very bad.
ALWAYS keep a box of baking soda right next to your oven. NOT above because if the flames are big, you won’t be able to reach it. NEXT to the stove.
I had to throw one pie away for the baking soda…. and one pie started on fire (over the flame).
It could have been so bad if I wasn’t walking by and see the oven full of flames. Holy moly…. could have been sooooo bad.
I have made this for as long as i can remember. Granny always had these when we visited. Then Mom made them….. then me…. and now the family makes them and of course all friends make them.
It’s time to finish decorating for the holidays. Inside and out is done but the Christmas tree is for today. It takes him THREE DAYS to do it. Each bulb and branch has to be just right. then i do all the ornaments etc after that.
I am typing like a mad women and trying to get all recipes over here. Please have patients since I type extremely slow (and badly). For your benefit I use the auto correct too if I can copy and paste.
update 11-23…..I have a document of now about 200 so far. Now doc is too large, will break down in individual recipes.
Hey… I”m old and I’m trying… please give me a break.
12-3 Sick as a dog but trying to type in bed. Burnt my hand really bad but I’m still typing. See, i told you that i”m tough. lol
I will continue to update daily if I can. All times are EASTERN TIME.
updated 1-1

Huge pot of chili for dinner.I made two seperate pots and combined after dinner.
( Not crazy about this recipe, so I will not share it with you. Okay …. it was really gross. I will never make it again and I am feeling bad about making so much. )
The family will be going in and out all day long. We had to have early dinner because of all the plans for today and having to run out.
You make “cheater cinnamon rolls”. The coffee is always on and thank goodness it is a fresh pot.
Within minutes Alllllllll doneeeeeee.
What a nice visit with friends. We found out sad news that they’re moving across the country. I want to cry but I keep smiling and tell them that I’m so happy for them.
She wanted a six piece of mozz sticks so they gave her a small container of four and threw two more in the bag (not wrapped or in a container or anything).
It’s still so sad that the kids will NEVER know the fun of the “old time Halloween”. It bothers me all the things that kids have missed out on. Too bad the parents want them to grow up too fast and miss out on being “a kid”.
(I had to take another photo today10/30, because the ones from yesterday were blurry (shock shock)
She wants to keep the can so I took another photo and will throw it away when she’s not looking. She is so upset about this. After she ate it yesterday, she just kept shaking her head lol.
I know that I should snap out of it but it’s really upsetting.
EVERYONE used that tablet, and now it upsets the whole house. Okay, so maybe I’m the only one that NEEDED it. I can’t even continue to re- type my thousand recipes right now and I was doing so good (even thou I type very slow, hey it’s hard typing a recipe when there wasn’t one to begin with. My Mom and Grandma were wonderful cooks).
OK, I need to go CRY get busy and maybe do anything I can AWAY from the computer. (that won’t last long lol)
Update……Okay cleaned the pantry and I will try to type up more recipes so you can make them too. Put it right out of my mind ( maybe if I keep thinking that….. it will come true).
The Perogies were wonderful. The choices were… potato….sauerkraut….sweet cheese or plum.But of course you can have a mixture. There were only three for dinner so they split the meal and were stuffed. It only made TWO PLATTERS but they were empty when they were done. They are very good eaters LOL.
The sausage was fresh when we drove to pick it up. I filled the freezer with many packages. I bought the fresh smoked sausage and also the fresh kielbasa.
This was the last package so we will call and order every flavor of Pierogies and many types of sausages. I will blog about it and when it’s picked up. We have to drive for many hours but it is so worth it.
Don’t forget the dessert which was chocolate pudding.
I only had 6 links but it fed them well.
Posted inLife|Comments Off on Dinner was smoked sausage and pierogies
My Dell tablet blew up..… what the heck will I do now? The battery swelled up and the back almost blew off. But it was only connected in one corner. What do I do now without it? I’m really going to cray. I can’t find this one anymore at Dell
I tried a new battery and it still won’t work. Tells me that the hard drive is locked. and everything that “He” tried is not working. We are even willing to start fresh but it won’t boot. Did the whole thing fry with the battery blowing up? It is not doing anything at all and it sounds terrible when you push the power button.
All tech people tried everything but it is now what I call…. DEAD. Time to get over it and just accept it . I really used that a lot.
The back of the tablet blew off when the battery (above) swelled up and blew up. What am I going to do without it?
Now what should I do?
Update 27th…. couldn’t sleep all night. I kept trying to think about what I may have lost……….I lost everything. Okay not everything but you know what I mean.
What a night (she says with a smile on her face). Dinner for 10 but 12 guests
Did I stick my camera in their plates? Of course not. At the time of these photos “most” were already seated and were talking up a storm. These are from my family so they didn’t mind the camera, plus the photos were taken “away” from the dinner table.
Special requested dinner for a special occasion. What a wonderful evening. I think they all enjoyed themselves.
Of course homemade cocktail sauce, sour cream and fresh chives (from my herb garden)
dessert was Angel food cake with choice of toppings.
Sorry these are the only photos I happened to get. I was soooooo busy making memories.
I decided that if I want to complain about something, I will wait until I write my “Ticked off on Tuesday” post. So here we go……..
Today’s Post is “Nosy Neighbors that need to mind their own business”.
Don’t worry about the grass down the street
Don’t worry about the dogs down the street
Don’t worry about people parking their cars IN THEIR OWN DRIVEWAY
Don’t worry about people doing LEGAL things in their home.
Don’t worry about the sprinklers getting the sidewalk wet
Don’t worry about the car in front the mailbox sitting there reading their mail for a long time. They will move sooner or later.
Don’t worry about the kids that stepped on your grass.
Don’t worry about the boat parked in someones driveway for a week getting winterized.
Don’t worry about someone not using their garage for their cars instead parking in the driveway. (their Right to do so)
The reason for this post? As most of you know, I don’t agree with social media because what it is doing to people. But… but…..but this post about something called neighbor hood something. It is a place where people in your neighbor hood talk.This post isn’t about my neighbors but my very very good friend’s neighbor hood. I told her to move after reading.
Let me tell you something, those people did nothing but complain about all the neighbors. You could see addresses and full names etc . You could see your next door neighbor complaining about YOU. I felt so bad for them.
But do you know what was even worse? They never complained about the brats ringing doorbells at 2 or 3 AM. When someone brought it up…. it was “oh leave them alone, they aren’t hurting anyone”. Then someone spoke up and said ” I have a new born baby, then someone said ” my husband is very ill” and it kept going. Then so many spoke up again and said “leave the kids alone”, “it’s harmless” etc etc.
Then they started complaining about a boat that was was getting worked on and winterized for storage. If anyone has a boat, you know that it has to be “loaded” and then “unloaded” the beginning of the season and the end. Then you need to winterize, then take to storage. These people couldn’t wait for 4 days. They even called the police station about it. What the heck?
They complained because when someone had their sprinklers on, water got the sidewalk wet. What?
Then they complained about a neighborhood party that asked them to take your young children home because it was not a party for children. They complained and said that their children are allowed ANYWHERE.
Then it looks like their was a lady watering her grass until about 10 PM . She kept moving the sprinkler so that it doesn’t make puddles and it watered her front, side and back yard. The water got into the street for many hours because of having to water the grass on the boulevard. Well the water runs down to these huge long sewer thingies. But because she watered so long the water kept going of course and it went around the corner. The man jumped on this “site thing” and was complaining that her water ran in front of his house and that his wife’s shoes would get wet getting into the car parked on the street. What? Water from a small sprinkler. He posted a picture that the stream of water was about 3 INCHES WIDE running all the way down the street NEXT to the CURB. These people are nuts.
Then they complained because the neighbor was not cutting their grass twice a week. What? You cut when the grass needs it. It could be once a week, twice or three times a week or every OTHER week. Shut the heck up at least they are cutting, it could be worse.
They got mad because someone was parking in their own driveway instead of parking in their garage. What? How dare they tell them where to park. It’s their driveway and their home, shut the hell up and park where you want to park at your own home. Leave everyone else alone. (He posted pictures like most do. ) By law he can park as many cars as he wants in his drive as long as they don’t hang over the sidewalk. They can even park in front of the house as long as parking is allowed and they are NOT blocking a mailbox.
I had to stop reading and give her back her iPad because I was getting so worked up. My family thought I was going to have a heart attack reading this crap.
With the world going to hell, these people have turned into NUTS.
There are murders, robberies, car jacking, assaults, elder abuse, and just plain old RUDE people and these people think that these are problems worth complaining about. Now you can see what the REAL problem is. Neighbors like this is the problem.
My last thoughts on this…..
Until you make my mortgage payment…. don’t ever try telling me what to do with my own home. Ok, you can TRY but be prepared for me to stand up for myself and NOT be one to be pushed around.
Now on that thought, I hope that everyone has a wonderful day and stand up for yourself when you are being bullied.
Posted inTicked Off on Tuesday|TaggedTicked Off on Tuesday|Comments Off on Today is Tuesday so it’s time for the “Ticked off on Tuesday Tuesday” post . Today’s Post is “Nosy Neighbors that need to mind their own business”. (don’t be one of these)
Just wish I felt better. Oh well…. they have their hearts set on these. I’ll toughen up and make them smile.
Thank Goodness for my Kitchen Aid mixer….I doubled the recipe which I do NOT recommend. Just make two batches and that way you won’t need to wipe the dough off the walls. (stop laughing)
I may have to tell them that they are going to fend for themselves today. I’m just now feeling 100%. I am making cookies but that should be it for today.
Update… after making the cookies, I just didn’t have it in me to make dinner so they are having left overs.
Here is the platter with three missing and the chips are gone from one side also. Looks like left overs were okay tonight. Four of them are out the door for about an hour so this was a good idea.
(update, the whole pack of buns are gone so they ate eight sandwiches.
Nothing like spaghetti sauce cooking all day filling the house with the aroma of “home”. That sounded so stupid but I really mean it. I love the smells and the feelings that come from making your food from scratch. But what’s better? Watching it all disappear and them asking for second helpings.
My sauce normally cooks about 12-16 hours. But what I did this time was to walk out to one of the freezers and grab of bag sauce that was frozen from the last batch. When I make the sauce I get at least three MEALS of sauce. I serve one the day I make it and then freeze two Ziploc bags for the future. Then all I have to do is put the frozen bag in the slow cooker/crock-pot and let it warm all day long until dinner.
(you can’t tell me that this was the only time it happened) Please read the whole thing, don’t let this happen to your family. I’ll bet that you know someone in a living assistant place. Don’t let this happen.
Nursing Home Workers Allegedly Filmed, Egged On Brawls Between Dementia Patients
Three workers at an assisted living facility in North Carolina were arrested after police say they turned elderly residents with dementia into their own personal fight club.
Marilyn Latish McKey, 32, Tonacia Yvonne Tyson, 20, and Taneshia Deshawn Jordan, 26, were arrested and charged with assault on an individual with a disability earlier this month, Winston-Salem Police Department told HuffPost.
McKey was charged with two counts, while Tyson and Jordan were charged with one, authorities say.
Police received a tip in June about elder abuse at Winston-Salem’s Danby House — which specializes in caring for Alzheimer’s patients, per its site. Police investigators worked with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services on the accusation.
According to documents sent to HuffPost from NCDHHS, the three employees who worked at the Danby House allegedly encouraged the residents in its “Special Care Unit” to physically fight one another. The employees also egged the residents on while filming the incidents. One of the workers also forcefully shoved a resident.
In one incident, two residents with dementia, referred to as Resident 8 and Resident 9 in documents, began fighting in Resident 8’s room as three health care workers — identified by authorities as Tyson, McKey and Jordan —watched and recorded it on a phone.
During the fight, the residents fell on the bed, and Resident 9 continued to hit Resident 8. In a cell phone video obtained by authorities, Resident 8 is heard yelling, “Let go, help me, help me, let go” as the staff members continue to record the fight without intervening, say the documents. At one point, a staff member tells Resident 8 to “Stop screaming, (expletive).” Resident 9 continues to hit Resident 8 and begins to choke her. A staff member can be heard encouraging Resident 9, saying “punch her in the face.” While Resident 8 was being choked, a staff member can be heard in the background saying, “You making her turn red,” the documents say.
According to the documents, the video shows one of the employees calling for their supervisor to come into the room. Once off the bed, Resident 9 was still instigating Resident 8, and in retaliation, Resident 8 tries to shove Resident 9 out of the room, but the staff tells her, “Don’t you push her.” When the supervisor finally arrives, she comes into the room smiling, and does not ask about the fight. Instead, she points a finger at Resident 8 and says, “Stop, you better sit down and stop, go to bed,” say the documents.
One of the workers, who is not specifically identified in the documents, told authorities she recorded the fight because Resident 8 was a “Pain in the butt.”
On a separate occasion, Resident 8 pushed another resident, identified in the document as Resident 10, to the ground. Documents say Tyson, McKey and Jordan were present for that incident as well, and one of them yelled at Resident 8, pushed her forcefully into a room, shut off the lights and told her to go to sleep. The three workers left Resident 10 on the floor until Resident 8 had been pushed into the room The worker who shoved Resident 8 was not specified in the documents.
Danby House’s parent company, Affinity Living, LLC, told Winston-Salem Journal in a statement that it has “a zero tolerance policy for mistreatment” and that “McKey, Tyson, and Jordan were terminated immediately in June when community management was alerted to this situation.” The company said it has implemented additional staff training and “a more rigorous vetting process for all new and existing employees.”
Affinity Living did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
According to the Winston-Salem Police Department, a magistrate gave Jordan a $1,500 unsecured bond and McKey a $1,000 unsecured bond. Tyson was released from custody on a written promise to appear in court.
The women are scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 14.
Ok someone needed babying pampering. But you will notice that this person is well enough for a large bowl of soup and not one but TWO sandwiches. LOL (I’m not stupid).
Only one awake for breakfast this morning. Two I know are still sleeping and one hasn’t been home from work yet (night shift) and I think one is in the shower because the water pressure is down right now.
Made with 100% whole wheat bread (keeping them healthy is tricky and full of tricks. lol
Update…. there is LIFE. They are moving slow
They are having Biscuit, egg, sausage and cheese sandwiches ( 2 of the zombies)
One had two pieces of buttered whole wheat toast and two pieces of bacon, slapped together and called a sandwich
And one zombie had a banana muffin thrown in her purse with coffee in the other hand.
I was in such a big hurry that i forgot to take photos of the turkey breast before cutting, during and after so I will go find another photo from when I have made it in the past. Be right back.
Turkey breast looked like this one below.
Here is the filling that is cooking right now
This will cook for a couple hours and then I will let it cool for a couple hours.
I will make the crust and fill them and then bake. I will update the pictures etc later. But let me tell you something… it smells so gooooooood so far.
This Ziploc gallon bag is for another pot pie, I might have enough for two more… all I will need to do is make the crust, fill and bake.
I don’t have the photos when I took them out of the oven, I had a hundred people complaining about starving to death. ( Oh no, I wonder if they will live long enough for me to put it on their plates)
What a bunch of vultures.… this is the only photos I got and he was already eating it.
Dessert is cheesecake or Jell-O (regular or sugar-free)
They like the toast left WHOLE because it is easier to slop on the jelly. I just tell them that they’re lazy lol
Frittata made with bacon, sausage, ham, onions, peppers, cubed potatoes, two types of cheese, spices etc. yes I will write it down for you, yes really….really.
The one below if from the last time I made two huge ones for freezer.
I think that it’s time to make another one. I think that there might be one more slice in the freezer. I made about 25 slices (I think).
One cooked in a skillet…. one cooked in baking pan.
photos above are from the day I made it. Then cut and froze for fast breakfast.
They are wonderful and so easy. Throw it on a plate frozen …. nuke and make whole wheat toast.
Everyone eats their chili differently. Some people like it in a bowl, some like it on a baked potato with cheese and chopped onion, and one person likes chili in the bowl with pieces of baked potato and chopped onion around the edges. She changes her mind every time she eats it, the rest eat it the same way every time.
( okay its not very cold yet, but it’s a “Chili Day” anyway)
I made this chili last week or the week before and I froze it. I didn’t cook it 100% so that it could cook the rest of the way when placed in the slow cooker.
All I had to do was take the bag (or bags in this case) and put them in the slow cooker on low all night.
I told you that my photos are REAL and not staged and this is proof. Food splashed on the Slow Cooker (Kenmore). After all …… it is cooking and I am stirring, there SHOULD be a mess. (smile)
It was cooking all night, now its just staying warm for about an hour and then I will shut it off. I will turn it back on about 1:00 so it’s hot for dinner. Everyone will eat on their own time today.
………….I’ll update with dinner photos later……….
And now I need to freeze the chili again now that it is cooked completely and all spices are in it. I will now have two meals of chili in the freezer for the future.
DO NOT allow the mini people to stand near the fire pit. ( Pretty sad to feel the need to say that)
We used SIX pie irons
All of them “Rome industries” iron ( Original pie iron)
They didn’t even give me time to take photos. As soon as “He” asked if anyone wanted to make them……. they are started screaming and gathering by the table.
These two were the last ones on the table so I took a photo. The hot dog forks disappeared too.
Choice of toppings were…. Apple…..Cherry…..Blueberry…..Peach
We went through all four cans and all six irons were being passed around.
Not sure if this was peach or apple but she was enjoying the bite with a big smile. Oh and remind everyone that” THEY ARE HOT, LET THEM COOL”
It is full of nothing but Luxury subdivisions, apartments, townhouses etc. ( You might one or two farms if you are at the bordering states but it is NOTHING like that TV show)
Talk about the”night life”……… this place never sleeps. A million bars, restaurants, dog parks, walking/running trails, spas salons, 50 million hospitals and clinics, Holy crud….there are a million people here.
Construction everywhere you look with new subdivisions being built EVERYWHERE on every corner. Banks, daycare’s, ins companies,car dealerships, stores, re doing cable lines, sewers and sooooo much more everywhere you look in every city so far etc.
If you do see corn…. NO YOU CAN’T EAT IT!! That is for ethanol or popcorn or feed corn. If you want corn, go to Walmart. I’m not kidding.
Update…Sun AM… these people are so darn RUDE. They had a big football game and if you are NOT a Nebraska fan, they will actually make “not nice” comments right to your face. They go way too far about their football. But if the team is losing by halftime… they leave the party or bar or even the stadium. Those aren’t true fans.
I feel like they drank the kool-aid. I’m NOT kidding, it seems like a cult. They look the same, talk the same, dress the same, their houses look the same, they eat the same foods at the same restaurants etc.
DON”T DRINK THE KOOL-AID !!!!! Thank goodness I am on my way home right now. I’ll be home Sunday early AM to a house full of dirty dishes and over loaded laundry baskets. I’m looking forward to every bit of it.

I can’t copy and paste here, and I don’t know why. Who am I kidding, even if someone explained it to me I would just look at them and stare. Would it sink in? Maybe but let’s get real.. probably not. I’m NOT kidding…. I don’t even have a cell phone and I wouldn’t know what to do with it. I heard you laughing at me. You laughed didn’t you? That’s okay, I’m not bothered by things like that.

Former NFL player accused of faking hate crime by spray-painting racist slurs and MAGA graffiti at his business
Police say Edawn Louis Coughman staged a hate crime. (Photo: Gwinnett County Police Department)
A former NFL player allegedly painted racist slurs on the walls and destroyed his Georgia business in an attempt to stake a fake hate crime and burglary, the New York Daily News reports.
Edawn Louis Coughman, 31, who played for several NFL teams from 2012 to 2016, including the Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals, was arrested on Thursday.
Authorities said in a release that officers were called to the Create and Bake Restaurant and Coughman’s Creamery on Duluth Highway on Wednesday to a report of burglary in progress.
Officers later went into the business and found graffiti including swastikas, “MAGA” and racist terms like “monkey” and the N-word spray-painted on the walls, among other damage.
The graffiti included a spray-painted “MAGA.” (Photo: Gwinnett County Police Department)
In a press statement, Cpl. Michele Pihera said a shopping plaza maintenance worker saw someone burglarizing the restaurant late Wednesday evening and called police, adding that the alleged burglar was driving a black Silverado with no license plates. Police pulled over the truck thinking it could be a suspect in the burglary, and saw that Coughman was driving.
“We’re so fortunate that somebody saw something weird, saw something suspicious and called us,” Pihera told WSB-TV. “That’s when they asked him about it, and he said he’s the owner of the business.”
Police searched the back of Coughman’s truck and found several flat-screen TVs that looked strange.
“The TVs were still attached to brackets and damaged drywall,” the department said in a release provided to Yahoo.
Coughman’s vehicle carried several TVs. (Photo: Gwinnett County Police Department)
Officers checked the inside of the restaurant and speculated that the TVs were probably ripped off the wall. They described the paint used on the graffitied walls as being fresh, and claim that when they inspected Coughman’s hands, they saw black spray paint.
According to the police department, Coughman contacted his insurance company directly after the incident. “He told officers that he noticed the damage and theft of equipment earlier in the day. He said that he called his insurance company to report the incident, but he did not call 911,” the department said in a release.
“He had reported this incident to his insurance company prior to officers conducting that first pull-over,” Pihera told WBS-TV. “He was attempting to leave that shopping center when our officers conducted that felony stop. Everything lined up for this perfect arrest.”
According to WBS-TV, Coughman’s business partner, another NFL player, was arrested for selling alcohol after hours in their business without a license.
Coughman has been bonded out of jail. He’s facing three charges including insurance fraud, making a false report and a tag violation for taking his plate off.
The Yelp page for the Lawrenceville business has been flooded with negative reviews referencing the incident. No one answered the phone at the business when Yahoo called for comment.

#2…Hug and kiss your spouse and tell him/her that you love them and nothing you say should be taken to heart
#3…Remember all those 3 volt, AAA, AA, 9volt etc batteries that you took out a loan for? Grab the packages and fill your pockets with each in separate pockets.
#4…Grab a small Flat-head screw driver
#5 Remind your spouse that you really DO love them.
#6…CALL ALARM COMPANY and put your system on TEST for AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS. Yes… eight hours. Just in case there will be problems. Remind spouse again.
#7… HAVE ONE PERSON STAND BY ONE OF THE BOXES . That person will have to shut off the alarm with EVERY battery you change.
#8….Start in ONE room and complete it before moving on to the next one. Look on the internet for videos showing YOUR system and how to open and close each and every box. Just because they look another one that you have changed… believe me they might be different and use different batteries. (yep….happened more than once)
#9….(how many nails have you lost trying to pry those little suckers out). Make a note for next time to get a teeny tiny screw driver to lift one side for easy removal.
#10…Ignore your spouse and call him or her a name under your breath, it feels good. Plus stops you from throwing the screw driver at them.
#11…Call the alarm company again and tell them that you may need more time. Okay, you need about 2 more hours. DO NOT yell at her because the boxes weren’t even screwed into the wall and came right off in your hands. Don’t do it… it’s not her fault.
#12… Remember the list of “stations” that you printed out? Tear it up and throw it away. Those guys LIED to you about the numbers. ( anyone with a system knows what I’m talking about.. Oh and don’t listen to him because he’s wrong and is sleeping on the couch.)
#13… Start moving faster because it’s getting out of control. Those little boxes are so darn hard to open because THEY ALL OPEN DIFFERENTLY. Some slide up… some open like a book left to right…. some lids come right off… Soooo many look alike but open differently. DO NOT force them open because you just opened one just like it….. It might NOT be the same.
#14…. A cocktail is starting to sound so good right now. Yep, it doesn’t matter what time it is. I”m not touching any of the boxes or changing the batteries. All I do is yell out the CORRECT instructions and when he messes up……… I REPEAT myself.
#15… We’re done. HAVE HIM CALL Alarm company and explain what we did and ask if they see anything wrong…………… Nope… good to go..
#16… Number 16 my foot…..I’m done… I want a divorce, he’s an idiot. Let him put everything away… I’ll be in the other room making a cocktail.
Please do not copy my post…please link to it. I don’t ask for much.
This really did happen today, and I told him that I will NOT be doing it again in six months. He can do ONE a day for a year if he has to .
*darn, I’m almost out of Vodka, so please send me more*
Will someone tell me why? NO ONE will answer me the “why” but they sure will tell me not to. They have also told me not to post about Walmart
I buy A LOT of stuff from these people and many more sites and I wanted to tell you where I get it. What is wrong with that? I haven’t done anything wrong.
I post the link to help you get there quicker.
I was told not to show labels on products too. Whyyyyyy???
Update 10-07… see what I mean? Still not getting an answer.

Look at this food. I refuse to eat at this McDonalds because of how awful the food is. I was the biggest fan of McDonalds for DECADES. Not this one. Even contacting them doesn’t do any good.
As soon as you open the bag…. these are the fries. Empty and ice cold
Quarter pounder patty is ice cold and RAW inside
The patties slide around on the bun. Nothing sticks together. It is soooo strange. This place has the strangest food.

He was eating and working at the same time. He didn’t look at his burger right away. He told her to show him hers after this.
This second one is worse than the first. She got saw that and threw it away.

Want to know why I am saying this? I watched one person yell at another person for her opinion.It is an “opinion” and everyone has a right to theirs. It doesn’t matter who agrees and who disagrees. When I couldn’t keep my mouth shut any longer, I told the lady to stop bullying, everyone has a right to their own opinion”. She told me that I was stupid and to mind my own business. I told her that ” it WAS my business to stop bullies when I see it happening”. She understood that I was NOT going to back down and then she did the right thing by walking away.
Come back tomorrow for the rest of the photos and leave a message if you want the recipe. Right now friend needs me.
And of course the tortillas are warmed on the grill or on a gas burner. Yummy

Since I have so many strawberries and a ton of basil, I thought I would try this again this year. We made it last year during our big picnic. This year I am going to make a double batch because not many people were able to try it. The first group poured a glass said “yum” and that was it. I was too busy to see how many enjoyed it.

8 oz. bourbon
2 c. strawberries
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice

Yep… that’s a plan

I will update when I can.
(Update)
Oh myyyyy …….what a day and its still early LOL.
It was a lot of fun, but it really felt like work. This cake will be sliced in very thin slices. Way too sweet and the glaze is EVERYWHERE. Now of course I gave a compliment every 2 minutes about beautiful it was, and it will taste amazing, and I can’t wait until dinner so we can have this beautiful cake etc etc etc.
Note to self…. NEVER ask questions about frostings, icing, glaze, what type of decorations etc. Just make it like you’re supposed to)
Will update with photos later ( I hope)
================================================
UPDATE…. She did such a wonderful job making this cake. Don’t let the funny looking glaze fool you. It is glazed with a thin glaze first then later with he thicker glaze.
I think she did an amazing job.
Please leave a comment and tell her how pretty it is….. PLEASE!

Don’t say one word about my blurry picture… I warned you many times that you will only find REAL things on this blog not all the fake stuff like on others. I told you that I can’t stand wearing my glasses so guess what?… Nope wasn’t wearing them.
I will TRY to do better.
Please leave a comment and tell her how pretty her cake is.
I had to take the thick glaze off, way too over powering.
(Hey… real food from real photos. NOT the ones that are staged and the ones that professionals are doing the cooking and taking the photos. Real life and Real FUN)
Feed the kids first. The adults can eat later when everyone is here.
Burgers, with or without cheese………white cheddar or swiss
Condiments on the table (ketchup, mustard, mayo, pepperoni peppers, A-1 sauce etc)
Toppings.. tomatoes, Red onions, sweet onions, lettuce, bacon, swiss, white cheddar)
fries,
corn ,
chips,
cheese puffs
lets hurry and feed the little hands
Platter waiting for the cooked burgers and the boat ready to soak the corn in bud-dah.
Come on and grab…. I will keep filling these. Cheddar is closest, swiss is the back one. Plain are coming off the grill now.
Spin the corn so it is coated with butter, salt and pepper is over there on the table. (Looks like I need more cups of ketchup for the fries)
Everyone wants different toppings
some want corn, some don’t
some want fries, some don’t
some want the buns, some don’t
some want cheese, some don’t
some want something different….. tough.
As they cook, he puts them on a platter…. grab while you can. First come first serve
Grab your bun, put a burger on it, get the corn from foil boat holding butter.
Grab fries or sides
Beverages are on the table…. help yourself .
Three burgers were left over and a smaller plate of toppings… everything gone.
These were huge tomatoes from a local garden. One of them was the size of a softball so I didn’t use that one for tonight.
They had cake for dessert
Cake and milk for dessert. ( Please let me pour it for you)
This is breakfast for Two along with milk and Oj. These fit perfectly in their hands and along with picking at mom’s plate of food… this is perfect.
these are the right size for them.
Posted inBreakfast, Life, What's for breakfast?|TaggedJimmy Dean, What's for breakfast|Comments Off on Breakfast this morning was…Whole Wheat French toast and bacon. (I made extra for the freezer too) And Jimmy Dean snack size sausage sandwiches for others.
“He thought it was so funny to hide these in the bowl of cleaned corn waiting to be put in FoodSaver bags. He said that these are “baby corn” for Asian dishes. I wish it was that simple.
My back is killing me so I’m not going to do a lot of standing or bending. I hate feeling like a baby. I’m too tough for this crap, I refuse to get old. Usually nothing stops me but I’m hurting pretty bad this AM. Like my Mom used to say….. ” this too shall pass”.
I didn’t eat with them. I had a beautiful dinner of a seafood salad with dinner rolls and I’m glad I did.
Why would they want this mess? All they did is complain that the Big Mac’s were ice cold, the fish was UNDER COOKED and GREY inside etc.
I gave up on them and they were a favorite of mine (for fast food of course). Our card players met once a week and everyone stopped to bring their food here. There were anywhere from 8-12 people twice a week. NO MORE, okay once in a blue moon)
Look at that… how gross. You can tell it’s cold because the cheese isn’t even melted AT ALL
She wanted me to see hers too.
I asked him to take his sandwich apart so he did. Even those were cold

I get to clean and freeze three dozen corn. I have to decide what I want to do with these. Freeze whole? Or do I make fried corn? Or do I cut for whole kernels?
Okay update…. Sept 1-2019
“He” thought he was so funny hiding these in the bowl of cleaned corn. He calls them “baby corn” for Asian dishes. Too bad it’s not that easy.

GASP…. Are you telling me that there are people out there with fake photos?? ……
Well….. NO KIDDING.
Think of those people with MILLIONS of followers that actually believe the LIES AND PHOTOSHOP. There are people that don’t believe that celebs have any surgery done too. Not kidding.
Posted inLife|Comments Off on “Influencer” ridiculed after followers spot the same cloud formation in every photo…..
These are the last three to cook. I cooked them under the broiler and these HAVE TO BE LIGHT. Any color will be called burnt and there will be a lecture bout “seared or browned meat”. YES, we have tried explaining so I will ignore make sure they are nice and light but still cooked THOROUGHLY. (they NOT done in this photo)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup granola cereal or crushed graham crackers for garnish
Preparation
Beat cream cheese brown sugar and vanilla in small bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.Spoon into serving bowl. Sprinkle with granola or graham crackers crumbs.
Serve with apple wedges for dipping.
TIP… I cut my apples and place them in a bowl with lemon juice until I am done cutting ALL. Then I rinse and the apples don’t brown AS FAST. Try to keep as many as possible covered and shaped back into an apple so air stays away
This is an old standby since I make it a lot for when I am not home when they eat.
Super easy and yummy.
Crock-pot Chinese Beef and Broccoli
1 pound boneless, beef chuck roast, sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef consumme or beef broth
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons sauce (from the slow cooker after dish is cooked)
Frozen broccoli florets
White rice, cooked
In a bowl , whisk together beef consume, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic. Make sure it’s combined. Then pour it into the crock-pot. Then place your slices of beef in the liquid and toss to coat.
Turn slow cooker on low and cook for 6 hours.
When done, in a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cooking liquid to create a slurry, pour into slow cooker, stir to mix well. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to thicken up the sauce.
Toss in your broccoli florets then serve hot over white rice.
I’m just wondering how many men do you know that love to cook. No, not just saying that they cook but really do cook. Do they do the dishes too? What about housework?
Am I being too nosy? Yep I sure am… but I am curious.
He has this on a paper plate because he saw me loading the dishwasher. It ticks me off to start a load of dishes and then someone puts a dish or glass in there RIGHT WHEN I START IT.
LISTEN HERE……. I put the cheese on top to seal the rest of the ingredients. If it is going to sit on the table, I am going to make sure that it stays “moist”. The cheese and tomatoes seal it in nicely. So before anyone YELLS at me…. I know, I know, I know, please don’t yell at me. Oh and 7 out of 9 said “FORGET THE OLIVES”. Okay, I will and did.
Before finished. I like to stop here and put in the fridge over night. Will finish it and serve before guests arrive.
Homemade chips too
One more larger pan when those are empty.
Holy moly…. i think I made it a little spicy LOL.
Only four have been eating it so far. Made homemade salsa and Guac also.
More people on their way
Update…. just made another batch of chips. Now the whole house smells like oil (LOL). I have all the exhaust fans on and have windows opened AND three fans going (hallway, living room and kitchen)
So many possibilities for these waffles. I have already made another batch of waffles and two other batches of “inside stuff”.
This is going to be fun ! Okay now I’m off to make cinnamon rolls.
I use a waffle MIX. Yes I said that I use a MIX. It is so easy to make Belgian waffles for many people.
This is the mix that I use
You can see the yummy eggs peeking out from the waffle.
This is the mix that I use. I try to make the night before so it is ready to go in the morning. I also put the waffle maker on the counter so all I have to do is plug it in and start the breakfast.
I made the eggs and ham while the waffle iron was warming up
I only have one picture of the time I was adding the “inside” stuff. I had to hurry because the iron was getting too hot.
Mmmm
I had to pass the camera off on someone else. Making two at a time was getting tricky. I was throwing two on a plate then putting them on the counter. Come and grab a plate and start eating.
She is working and eating at the same time. She is always happy when she’s multi tasking.(I always yell at her and tell her that it isn’t good for her digestion and she rolls her eyes at me. Is that considered “dismissing me? Hmmm)
Okay he had them sent here, but its the same thing. HE did it not me.
We are so sick and tired of the destroyed boxes from FedEx. I can show you YEARS of destroyed boxes and damaged goods too. But I won’t let it ruin my surprise right now.
He said that he bought it from Walmart (along with the other items I will show you)
Only 5 for breakfast. Everything chopped in bowls just ladle the eggs and put in topping. You can make two different omelettes at a time which is wonderful. I made breakfast in no time. I have so many ideas for this.
Bacon
Ham
onions
green pepper
cheese
Homemade bread toast or whole wheat
coffee

milk
I used my Cuisinart waffle maker which I absolutely love. This is the one I have.
Make an account for “him/her” at all places that you shop at. When you find something that YOU want to buy… Put all your items in “his” shopping cart online. Yep, it has been working for many years. You’re soooo welcome.
I get surprises shipped here and then when he brings things home. “He” is actually pretty good at buying me things that he thinks that I would like.
I feel like someone knocked me down and is stepping all over me and they won’t get off.(I hope they get my germs).
I can’t believe how bad getting a cold feels when you get older. When I was Over 50yrs getting a cold was NOTHING and i could handle it fine. Now I feel like I am dying.
Oh and a question for you. Why would people sign up to my board to hurt it? Has this old lady hurt them? Nope, they just want to be mean to me.
YES I have bundt pans….. Many pans…. but what’s one more right? I love making them and giving them away too. I guess you could say that it makes my heart smile.
I will show the Stuffed Cabbage up here at the top and the bread down below. Yes, full recipes to come. I need to get all the photos in here before I lose them.
STOP RIGHT HERE……… GO WASH YOUR HANDS
Now get there and smoosh it all together. YES with your hands.
The seasonings are so important. You will need that extra salt and pepper with this.
Look closely, this is what the mixture looks like after mixing.
STOP now go wash your hands AGAIN
Now its time for the rolling.
I wrap on the paper plate so that any moisture will absorb (unless you have “good” paper plates. I use these plates for all prep work. NO IT DOES NOT SHRED.
I have FOUR pans of Stuffed Cabbage. TWO for the freezer and the two glass pans are for dinner tonight. Only Four for dinner so pretty easy.
Homemade bread.
My bread machine is a Breadman Ultimate. I’m looking into another one in case something happens to this one. This is where you get a http://www.breadman.com/
This gets used at least once a week. I am looking into getting another one.
(I told you that I use paper plates for all messy stuff. All the crumbs on the plate and easy clean up. Now just put the bread on the dinner platter for easy grabbing during diner.
Growing up I remember while in Quebec the Ladies there served a sandwich that I have been looking for.My Grandmother grew up making it.
When we got back home my Mother tried making something for a sandwich that you put on white bread with yellow mustard. They made it in a loaf pan for bread lined with foil . I think it was made with pork maybe. You slice it and lay it on the bread or try spearing it. ( Don’t laugh at me, my memory is going but I’m not THAT bad YET. (what was I talking about?)
When Grandmother told us the name, it SOUNDED like……….Grit-tahh.( I could have this word all wrong it could be something totally different.)
She spoke a lot of french but I don’t think this was french.
I was so young I never watched them or asked later in life.
Please help me….. What was it? Do you have YOUR family recipe for it? Please help this old lady. I’m trying to come full circle in my life and this is one of the few things that I can’t find.
National V-J Day on August 14th commemorates the day in 1945 when news broke around the world the Imperial Government of Japan would surrender ending a long a grueling world war. In Europe, the date was August 15 due to the time zone, but regardless the celebrations that broke out were no less zealous.
Since 1939, the entire world had been enduring the strife of war. The first rumblings began in 1937 but by the end of 1941, the United States would join the war they had vowed remain out of. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan on December 7th, 1941, the United States declared war and fully supported all fronts.
Throughout the war effort, military personnel and civilians stood together to make the next 4 years a united front. Victory in Japan and the rest of the globe was a final goal.
HOW TO OBSERVE #VJDay
Learn about the war in the Pacific. Tour Pearl Harbor or read accounts of the efforts. Use #VJDay to share on social media.
NATIONAL VJ DAY HISTORY
In the United States, President Harry S. Truman announced it in a press conference at the White House later that day. The peace treaty was officially signed on September 2, 1945. A year later on August 2nd, Truman signed a proclamation declaring August 14, 1946, as Victory Day.
Okay Dokey all done. I’ll put it in a bowl to cool for the fridge. I will add to many dishes right from the freezer.
I froze this in pint size bags and then put those bags inside a larger bag. It’s nice opening up the bag and grabbing one knowing that the rest will not go bad.
This is the photo courtacy of Burger King shown in photo. These are public photos on the menu.
This is what the group said they ordered
We ordered a total of ……… 12 tacos, 4 whoppers, 2 double whoppers, 3 hamburgers, 10 fries.
Here are the tacos. NO sauce or anything in the bag. They had a unique flavor, and most said they were good.
The others said that there wasn’t any filling to be able to JUDGE.
All TWELVE in ONE REGULAR SIZE BAG and it wasn’t even full
The Whoppers looked good but I was told that they were just ok for someone that is hungry. The little burgers were only half eaten but they ate the COLD fries.
No drivers License, that’s okay we’ll still let you drive away.
14 suspensions? That’s okay… here is another one.
Not registered? Just go there on Monday
No Insurance? That’s okay we’ll write you a ticket?
WHAT THE HECK !!!!!
Why do the rest of us follow the laws??? You know why?
BECAUSE ITS THE LAW !!
Why the heck aren’t they getting in trouble for this stuff? The rest of us can do it, they should too. Let me know if you need proof of any of the above.
How much money are the states losing out on because these people don’t pay for insurance or driver’s licenses or registrations for their vehicles (yes more than one)
(It’s been a bad Monday and now I’m mad on top of everything else. Not a good combination ….. smile).
One person had cream cheese on their bagel, two had cinnamon sugar, and one had butter only. One had fruit only.
I should seriously buy stock in Philadelphia cream cheese. They go through
If you think that on a Monday I would take a picture of all of the bagels, you’re out of your mind. Did you hear me say it was MONDAY? Do you want to know what has already happened and its still early?
They are always so moist and yummy. I make them about once a month or every other. This is one of those popular snack after breakfast but before lunch. I would just call it mid-morning but because there are strange working hours for some… it doesn’t apply (wink).
This is a great snack with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk (or any beverage that you prefer).
After cooling each one is wrapped separately and then placed in a Ziploc freezer bag. One large bag goes in the fridge for fast grabbing and the others go in the freezer.
I cut the melons up and keep them in my Ziploc containers in fridge. They stack and protect the fruit by keeping air out. I wish I could find these again, I would purchase more of them but I’ve had most of these for years.
My family goes through bagels like they go through water. They use them as it or as sandwich bread etc. Today was just plain bagel with Philadelphia cream cheese.
Look how big these buggers are. That is huge.
Nice an toasty ready for something on top. I have my knife ready to spread after this bugger cools down. Wow they’re hot.
Come in and relax. Make sure that you read all the four or five top posts so that you get to know me. It will either make you want to come back and read about my disasters or scare you off (I hope not).
There were only a few for dinner so it worked out perfectly. Plus I was so busy that I didn’t know if I was coming or going. I was being pulled in so many directions.
Apricot cake for “special request”. I even had little hands helping.
I made the apricot filling days before and it worked out well. I normally make two but this time I guess I was too busy.
It is starting to turn into the orange wonder.
After hours… it’s ready and I can put it into a bowl for the fridge. It will be ready to use when I have time to make the cake.
It turned out to a nice dark color. Now it will cool until ready for the cake part.
Hot day everything is melting including the dough for the cake. Not sure what it will look like but they are having so much fun making it.
Don’t you dare say it….. don’t hurt her feelings.It’s beautiful, plus it looks better than mine normally do.
As fast as I cut it…. the pieces were gone.
The whole cake is almost gone !!! What a wonderful day !
I have a huge mess in the sink and have already washed two loads in the dishwasher. Still, what a great day. (Remind me that i said that when I tell you tomorrow that it was hard getting out of bed and my bones ache) I think I should go find the Aleve now before it gets late .
UPDATE…….8-3 I have cut and wrapped a few pieces for the fridge. Not much left but these are ready to grab and go.
I had a total disaster with a pork butt/shoulder because I tried a recipe from the internet. Oh My God….. it smelled awful. I had to open windows because it smelled so bad. I threw it away and started another slow cooker/crock-pot with a new frozen pork butt/shoulder. Things like that happen when you try a new recipe, make sure you have a backup plan…. Read about my disaster here
This one was WONDERFUL !
When I buy my bread and buns I put them into a Ziploc freezer bag and throw them into a freezer. I buy many buns and breads and freezing them works for me
They got smooshed in the freezer… that’s okay I have plenty. Out of the four packs I used today, this was the only one smooshed. It was probably the one on the bottom(smile).
These sandwiches are so easy to make and they freeze well. Just take it out warm it up and you have dinner or lunch or breakfast .
The sandwich was so spicy so the slaw cooled it down (a little).
These were something they call “make again”, and you can bet that I will be making again.
Ok, time to do the dishes then serve the shortcake. I have been making strawberry shortcake weekly this summer. They can’t get enough.
This turned out great… and was requested for tomorrow if there are any left overs.
Unfortunately I had to throw this in FROZEN because the other one ended up in the trash. I hope I have time to pull this BBQ off without problems. Everyone knows what will be served so this just has to work.
It looks like it’s cooking
It smells WONDERFUL !!
I’m going to lift it out and put it in an extra large glass bowl to catch juices too.
I cheated. I used my bamboo strainer to lift it out. The meat was falling apart and I wanted to collect as much as possible at one time.
Yep…worked great.
Now its time to shred the meat and put it back into the wonderful FLAVORFUL juices.
Beautiful bare bone
Ok time to go swimming.
Now time to keep this on low for a couple hours.
After hours this is how it turned out.
I was told many times that “it was the best I have ever made”.… I might have to agree.
I’m so upset that i wasted the first pork shoulder/butt. It was extremely large and so meaty.
I will have a post about the sandwich in a few minutes. keep reading.
I hope that I will be able to make this again with exactly the same flavors.
(update……… made family recipe with he other pork butt instead of wasting this one too. Many to feed and they have an idea what I was planning to make for the barbq.
This is how the recipe turned out. Yes, that is the trash can.
Oh my Gosh it was AWFUL. I had to open the windows in all this heat just to air the house out.
The spices and other ingredients just didn’t go together. I knew it when I was putting it together but I tried it anyway. I never judge until I make it.I have been cooking for over 55 years, I know what I’m doing.
Well there it is in the garbage can. (below)
This is how it started
Looks pretty right? It smelled so bad during the night that it woke people up.
It cooked more. Then I finally couldn’t take it and I threw it away and put another pork butt/shoulder in another slow cooker ( Kenmore) WITH A DIFFERENT RECIPE
29 jul NATIONAL LASAGNA DAY……..That’s what we are having tonight.
29 jul NATIONAL LIPSTICK DAY
Made Lasagna yesterday to have for dinner tonight. I was very busy and wanted to throw it in the oven to reheat. All I had to do is make tossed salad and garlic bread.
I am going to make two pans of lasagna today because tomorrow is National Lasagna Day. I would put the other pan in the freezer for an easy homemade dinner. I will update.
UPDATE…. I guess they are having lasagna today and tomorrow. That’s fine with me, throw a pan in the oven and POOF…dinner.
salads with your choice of dressings …………..(and without dressing for two)
*thinking to myself...Oh, I should have made homemade dressing. Yep, it’s time to make a Greek salad soon.
“He” even had a salad with many leafy greens. I know he didn’t want to but what kind of exsample would he be if he turned his nose up at it? (snicker)
this one almost fell off the cutting board while they were joking around.
You can see the steam come off of it as it was uncovered. Mmmmmmmm
Extra cheese of course
I have another pan for tomorrow and all I have to do is warm it in the oven, make garlic bread and salads again. But I was told that “he” feels like a rabbit eating weeds in the garden. (Poor baby… NOT). The men agreed and the rest of us shook our heads then quickly ignored them wiggling their noses when they talked to us.
I cooked the sauce for about 8 hours then threw the lasagna together and baked.
I don’t know of many people who TRULY cook from scratch. I don’t call opening a jar of sauce cooking from scratch. Is there anything wrong with it? OH HECK NO !! My pantry if filled with jars of sauce and hundreds of uses for them and I DO. I’m just not posting recipes for this becasue I don’t think that anyone would want it.
(hangs head)….. I hope that didn’t sound mean. I’m not like that.
I use these noodles, I’m so old fashioned and very stuck in my ways.
When you find something that works you stick with it right?
Stop rubbing your eyes… I wasn’t wearing my glasses.I warned you a long time that I do my own work and do NOT have a “staff”. LOL This is just living proof (smile)
Chunky chunky sauce that is going to be Perfect. (why the heck is it so bright red? It was a darker red so I don’t know what happened here.(shrugs shoulders)
I put this green stuff in ONE pan of lasagna because it is the only way that “he” will eat anything this dark green. (he thinks…shhhh)
I only tried it one time so far and I must say that it worked out great ON TOP
other choices that i had on hand… I don’t think I used this one. I think I put it in the freezer for another use.
I know I used this AND Ricotta cheese AND plain mozz.
*Slurp*….. look at that steam.
Let me know if you have a good recipe for lasagna and tell me if it is a family recipe or one you found online and you LOVE it. I’m always looking to try recipes.
I didn’t get photos of all the “treats and snack packs” I was in a rush to put groceries away. I think it was a total of 10 boxes (meal bars, treats, snacks)
They insist on having them for an emergency and it has saved them so many times.
I try to make sure that everyone has easy meals that are what I call grab and go. You know like Tupperware containers filled with a nice salad for lunch, or hard boiled eggs, celery and carrot sticks, sliced fresh veggies like bell peppers and zucchini etc. I make sure to have turkey lunch meat, almonds and cheese sticks etc.
There are those days that you have only five minutes to eat and these are perfect for those occasions.
Don’t tell me that you haven’t slept in and have to run out the door. The blueberry are great at that stressful moment. How do I know? *shugs shoulders*” I was told”.
The chocolate covered almonds are AMAZING. And we love the coconut treats and ALL of them.
We had a friend stop over this A.M. and I needed something that would be sweet and good with coffee ( soda in his case).
It’s not the first time that I’ve tried these rolls, but I thought I would try them again on this busy morning. So convenient…… put in pan and bake. Boy these came in handy.
I made TWO tubes because I knew that him being here so early, he probably just stopped at a gas station for a soda and drove here.
I sent the left over rolls home with him for his family. I’m sure the kids will enjoy them.
I make sure that I always have things like this in the house. Sweet rolls, frozen cookie dough, cinnamon rolls, frozen everything. It has saved me soooo many times.
Time for a cast iron skillet meal cooked on the camp fire or on portable Coleman grill.
I did it a little different this time *shock shock*.
I cooked the sausage first then put everything in the foil.
very easy clean up and lots of time for play!!
This was FRESH Polish Kielbasa . It was fantastic. We have made our own and it turned out great but we wanted to try this new deli. FANTASTIC and they make homemade perogies too. YUMMY
I let the peppers and onions cook for a few minutes in the foil and then added the sausage, yellow squash and potatoes. The potatoes got a little dark this time but they were great.
Don’t laugh…. when you’re having fun with family and friends (or friends that you consider family)… you really don’t pay attention.
NINE foil packets and most looked like these. You DO NOT want to see number TEN. (good grief…there was no saving that one …smile).
I made Three EX large cast iron skillets for the group.
Sprinkled with cilantro. Served with avocado slices and lime. Chips and homemade salsa too. Don’t forget the Margaritas.
They may look like a mess when they put it on their plates but it was soooooo pretty when It was ready to serve. There were so many people and I was being pulled in so many directions I didn’t get a picture. I’m so sorry but I will get a nice photo when I make it again. I PROMISE that I will put the recipe here and in the recipe forum.
I know that everyone has an opinion and none of them are WRONG so lets hear it. I am trying to surprise someone with a wedding ceremony in a church like they always wanted. Okay here is the story.
Many years ago when they got engaged, they were planning a small church wedding with just a few friends and family. One of their parents got ill and the spouse was not also not able to care for them. So the couple took their wedding money and moved the parent in their home and cared for them for many years until death. During that time they went to the courthouse and got married (and was married by a minister) but never got their church wedding. They don’t even have a photo of the wedding day. It was year and years ago so I really want to do this. but how?
Now here are my plans and the questions.
I want to get her a nice outfit. She never had a wedding gown. And without having wedding photos, I thought a nice simple long dress with a bouquet and get her hair and make up done too. Then they would have a nice wedding photo of their special day.
There was no honeymoon so i thought maybe a weekend away, nothing crazy. Just something that they would enjoy without the pressures of “life”.
Should I do something different?
Where should I send them?
Where should I look for a dress for her (senior citizen but spunky)
Why kind of a hair style?
Flowers?
How much to reserve the church in 2019? (now 2021)
What other expenses am I forgetting?
Now for groom
Of course tux or just nice black suit right?
Boutonniere right? But what kind of flowers?
I could really use your help. It is 2019 (now germy 2021) and I really could use opinions on different things. What are my do’s and don’t s? What colors to look for? What colors to avoid?
This was so easy to throw it all together in the foil, season, fold it up and put on the campfire (low fire). When or if you stir… DO NOT puncher the foil or you will have a mess and all the juice will come out.
Or just cook in the skillet. (LOL) Cook sausage first then take out, then cut and brown potatoes and take out, then cook peppers and onions and add all back in and stir. Poof… dinner. But the other way I let the fire do it and I can have fun while it cooks. Yes, slower but I don’t care….
You can brown the sausage in a skillet first then throw it in the foil or just cook all together but you won’t get a brown color unless it is on the bottom of the foil.
(update….. making again July 17, 2019 but just a little different)
I’m so sorry but it was nothing but frozen bread dough rolled out. Then a couple tablespoons of a ground beef with maybe onion and very little cabbage. Tasted like NOTHING.
How disappointing. I gave it three bites so I could describe to you. It was only a homemade bread taste, big deal.
We had ordered 16 sandwiches and eight sides for everyone. Not one single person enjoyed it and 99 % ended up in the trash. Except for Mikey. (Mikey eats everything.)
I had never heard of them. Then when I heard the people talking about how great they were, of course we made a detour and had to stop to see what the fuss was all about.
I DO NOT believe that these sandwiches were made to taste the way they tasted. There had to be something wrong. When we move here, I do NOT think that we will be using this place as a fast meal. ( seriously, I really believe that something was wrong with them)
My third Cuisinart Coffee maker (in about 9 or ten years) is dying and leaking on the counter. I placed an order this morning for another one and it will be here in two days. I can put up with this one until then. Its not dead yet but it will be soon.
I LOVE this one and will continue to buy them. We drink so much coffee every single day that it has paid for itself
I will have to use paper towel when brewing, and I will NOT be able to have any water sitting in it until ready to brew. It will all leak out before it brews in the morning. That’s okay I have everything ready and will pour the water in and brew. I will lose some water but not too much. I will have enough to open my eyes and start to make breakfast for all.
Plus…. I looked at a million reviews for OTHER coffee makers and I am sooooo confused. Most reviews sound like commercials. I wouldn’t mind another brand but WHICH ONE ??
Do you like yours? What brand is it and how long have you had it? We make POTS of coffee a day do you?
Oh Nooooooooo It’s only afternoon and it died completely. Thank God I have a “Mr Coffee” that is over 25 years old that I use for times like this. Why don’t I use it instead of buying a new one? Number one…. it is only 10 cups and number Two… it is my “back up” so i never have to go without coffee.
(i took this photo days after new one came. I took my time setting it up because of having to clean it out before using etc.
This one is ready for the dishwasherand then to go back into storage.)
I tried a recipe and it sooo blah. I should have known when there were only about 5 ingredients.
The reviews were good, so many liked it. I have been cooking over 50 years…this was GROSS.
It took so much to make it edible.
I find it hard to believe that the family requests it so often. Are they used to junk food or stuff from the freezer?
I really don’t get it.
I should have known but wanted something that I could put in the slow cooker/crock-pot and forget it while I was so busy. It’s a shame because I made another one a few days ago that was soooo good.
I don’t like to hurt feelings but I want to save people from trying it. I don’t want anyone wasting money on these ingredients.
It really was disgusting, it was a cross between canned dog food and bottled glue.
This was a life saver since I didn’t feel like cooking or eating. I am finishing the clean up since the repairman will be here tomorrow. Have I mentioned how much I hate this stupid house?
Update…… plumber came and told us that the dishwasher is NOT hooked up right. the person that installed the dishwasher took the “cheap” steps. Darn it, I did NOT tell him to do that.
okay now we have parts on order and because it is LG… it may take a couple weeks for them to come in. DARN it!
Seeing the doctor because of my back and now I have to wash dishes by hand AND NO GARBAGE DISPOSAL. I have to wipe EVERYTHING before washing with paper towel. Then I can wash them. I am soooooo ticked off.
Spend it with the people that love you for the way you are.
If you don’t celebrate it…… wait till tomorrow and go check out all the cheap candy for sale. Pop it in your freezer and take out a piece here and there.
If you have a Sleep Number bed and need sheets for your flex top split bed…… read below. But come back if you leave okay?
You have to check this place out. After spending a thousand dollars or more, I found and ordered from this site. WONDERFUL and fast shipping. I will order from them from now on. I can’t wait to see what else they have. Below is the link …..But come back if you leave okay?
I have never been so happy in my life. I used to spend Hundreds and hundreds of dollars for sheets that would shred. I bought about 6-8 sets that used to cost over 200.00 OR MORE depending on sales. And that is PER SET.
NOT ANY MORE, I will only buy from this place.
If you DO go there and purchase their bedding…. when you review, let them know where you heard about them. I want them to know that I am telling the whole world how much I love these sheets. They are so much better than the sheets I got from Sleep Number and they were the “high-end” sheet sets too.
Three different Breakfast Frittatas for the freezer.
I made Three different kinds so everyone could grab a bag from the freezer and warm it up for breakfast. Make toast and serve with juice and lots of coffee, and call it breakfast.
( I made three different ones so look for more.)
Here is the first one all cut up and ready to freeze. On to the next ones while these cool down before packaging.
freeze in baggies for quick breakfast. In the morning put on a plate and microwave until hot. Serve with toast and jelly, juice, coffee, or milk ( or all).
Lots of protein, to keep you going till lunch.
I made three different ones to please everyone. Look for the others.
I have made MANY things and will post soon, but today I will be making a breakfast/freezer dish. I make it every couple weeks, cut into pie shapes and freeze in freezer bags. In the morning I put a slice on a plate and place in the microwave. Along with toast and beverage, it is a good start for the day.
Check back, right now I am freezing fish, chicken thighs, chicken wings, chicken breasts etc with foodsaver.
WE found a wonderful little deli/store that sells REAL sausages and perogies.
What a wonderful meal. I normally cook everything in one pan on the stove ( dutch oven) and then transfer everything to ONE of my Crockpots to cook all day long. I’m only using a 4 QT this time because I am serving many other things for this meal. Everyone will be sure to request their favorite for the “new year day meal”. Not sure how busy I will be so might not get as many photos as I would like.
Here is my 4 Qt. Crock
Mmm… bacon celery,onions getting along in the pan.
time to slice the kielbasa. I should have asked him to buy double this amount because I couldn’t stop nibbling on it.
Smuckers flavored syrups, sugar free syrup or REAL maple syrup.
I mad so many pancakes this morning that I will get physically sick to see one more. Kidding, I love it. I made so many people smile, and they had so much fun helping.
UPDATE…. because my photos are unrecognizable, here is the photo from the site where I purchased it. I bought a new one and will post photos when I set it up. NO not another one like this one.
-I was told they should not go to use certain charities because they will sell at high price and families couldn’t afford to buy them.
-I was told to have garage sale ( way too much for me to handle because I couldn’t keep an eye on it, collect money, and re-fold, answer questions, make deals etc.
I want to give them away to someone that can USE them not sell them.
Where do you think they should go?????
I have boxes of Kitchen Aid attachments for pastas (and about 6 other boxes) that have NEVER been opened. Plastic glasses for deck for bbq’s, TV platters with individual compartments etc. Way too many things to list.
update 12-26 another two large u haul boxes full of kitchen stuff.
what do you think I should do with all of this stuff?
Update….. Feb 6, 2019
I have given away so much but it hasn’t put a dent in the list. I am giving away clothes of all sizes and some with tags. Shoes from dress to flip flops. ALL NEW never warn and kitchen gadgets, pans, small small kitchen appliances etc.
Wish me luck, I’m afraid of getting the “Gritty” pumpkin like last year.
Maybe I should just go out and buy real pumpkins, clean them, bake them, scoop them, let them cool, make crust, measure out the amount of pumpkin needed, add other ingredients, then bake.
I was told that it would NOT crack. I had so many pieces and now I better go and inspect all the pieces.
I will try to find all the posts that brag about this NOT cracking and remove them.
Update…… I think I found most of them ( about 35-40 ? ) and removed them. Again I am sorry if you bought them because of my bragging like a mad woman. I was told that they wouldn’t crack.
Add strawberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a blender. Pulse until pureed.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the puree and 1 -3/4 cup water. Heat to boiling. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain through a sieve.
In a large pitcher, combine strawberry syrup, bourbon, 1 cup water, lemon juice, basil leaves, and a splash of bitters. Stir, then pour into six or eight glasses with ice.
a public holiday or day of festivities held in honor of working people, in the US and Canada on the first Monday in September, in many other countries on May 1.
.So to all of you have been working all your life…. take the day off and have fun !
And to those lazy people who don’t think they need a job…. get off your lazy butt and get a job.
(this post not meant for anyone who is not able to work. But not those that are FAKING and we know who you are)
The family was having waffles this morning and everything was going as planned. Then this happened.
I had to ask for help holding this in place so the last waffle could cook.
I CAN’T live without this, okay I will find a way. It was used so many times and I told so many people to buy it. I pray this has not happened to anyone that bought it because of my advice. But….. I really meant it when I said I loved it and used it so much.
UPDATE…. Say Hello to my new Baby. I had to buy a new one. WE make so many waffles, there would have been many complaints without a new one.
Just like when making pancakes….. the first ones are always UGLY. Plus I take the worst pictures in history. Most of the time I don’t wear my glasses so I just “guess” when I should push the button. (smile)
Rules are meant to be broken. Who said that you can’t have dessert first? LOL
Actually the family and friends were eating their waffles with bacon while I was trying something new. Unfortunately the waffle iron broke and I had batter left over that I had to throw away.
I am really heart broken, I loved this waffle maker.

Two roasters, two crock pots, all four burners going, one regular oven and a counter top oven.
Holy crap, I was busy and loved every minute of it.
Two Hams
mashed potatoes
baked beans
potato salad
green bean casserole
pineapple stuffing
corn
rolls
pineapple upside down cake
Updated.. photos of a few plates that were close enough. She didn’t have baked beans or green bean casserole. He had it but not until his second helping. His wife was not happy. I told her that we can all take a walk after dinner.
The baked beans smell wonderful.
Easter Sunday cutting up HOT potatoes. A cross appeared. Okay I think it looks like a cross.
(sorry about the blurry photo….. steam on a few of the photos and bad photographer is the other reason.)
These are still in the shopping bag right now but will be in my tummy soon.
ok the glaze is ready for the hams
Mashed potatoes ready for the gravy
Potato salad
Pineapple stuffing
3 cans of rolls
Pineapple Upside down cake
some wanted whipped cream and some without. Oh and some with whipped cream on the side.
I don’t like the large straws like they do and I guess that is why the coconut got stuck in my straw. Talking about turning blue.
My thin straw has to go….. my jaw hurts from trying to get the pieces through the straw. YES, I blended the heck out of it…. this is the first time using this fruit blend and the first time it has ever happened. I don’t care, I will use a spoon the next time.
4 sprawled all over the floor watching TV. I didn’t get a chance to take too many photos because I was taking care of business and on the phone too long. But I heard that two of them had a fish sandwich with curly fries(?)
YES it has extra cheese because that is what he asked for.
Chop the onions and the green peppers
I try to ham chopped ham in the freezer at all times. Either from a holiday ham or a small bonelss ham.
I will slice ham for breakfast and chop ham for many dishes.
Here it is defrosting which only takes about 2 minutes in a bowl while I do everything else
Okay time to cook the chopped ingredients
Now shred some cheese ( he decided on the cheddar)
Now time to butter the toast and we will call this breakfast. Oops…. orange juice too
Yes, that blurry orange blob is Orange juice. Hey, I wasn’t going to go look for glasses for a glass of juice. Yes, I know that I should have looked for them.
Corned beef, cabbage, boiled potatoes and carrots, colcannon, soda bread,German Chocolate Cake, cheesecake, pistachio pudding, or plain pound cake. and so much more.
I have a large 22 QT electric roaster AND a Large Kenmore slow cooker going with the other 2 corned beef.
Hopefully enough for Reuben sandwiches for dinner tomorrow. (choice of sauerkraut or Cole slaw.)
I will update with food photos as it cooks.
Don’t forget to wear GREEN today.
Midnight shift is here, lets get this party started Green beer and full bar available. HELP YOURSELF. But before anyone touches food or drink, their keys are surrendered and will be driven home. ( Most will be driven here)
A case of this was sent by a friend for me to try. It went over very well with the guests
Leftovers but they will be consumed at Easter Dinner Party
Seagrams coolers variety of flavors
Smirnoff ice variety of flavors
Guinness
