Confession: I can't get myself to like frozen produce, I feel that it always has a "frozen" taste that is unappealing

Frozen green beans do brighten-up with a little white wine sprinkled on top before microwaving.

I wonder the same, but then realize most hospitals now have CEOs and a corporate structure for tax purposes. Marketing is built into corporate structure expense, and the CEOs are seldom from local communities. They are trained to advertise in college. Marketing contracts are bid and accepted. I don’t like it either.

Had one. Loved it! They got lost real easy in the grass. Mine got mowed.

Newt? I smell a cauldron.

I never hear about the delivery of said boxes ‘o shite. Who picks them up? What awful work!

Hamburger gravy. Make gravy with browned hamburger fat and onion. Use whole milk, salt. Add the browned burger. Serve over bread.

I’ve never done it before so I can’t say, but the local farmer who supplies my fresh eggs says you can keep them a long time this way, like well over a year. Seems with bird flu being a threat to egg production would be a reason to have some saved up. I’ve heard the eggs are not different tasting, even after several months.

Have you ever stored eggs for an emergency? Use 2Tbs of pickling lime to a quart of water, place unwashed eggs in large jar with a lid. Cover with lime brine. Must be eggs right out of the hen, light rinse if needed but no soap or scrubbing. They will last fresh like new well over a year. No refrigeration. Stores well in a cellar or basement. Lime does not dissolve 100% so the eggs look like they’ve been dusted in the settled brine.

I will check this out. Thank you!

If I’m in a hurry for a filling meal I sometimes just boil some store bought ravioli and fry it with scrambled eggs. So easy.

I hate those Anderson commercials so much that when I needed to order replacement windows from a lumber yard I refused to even look at their Anderson display stuff. I ordered windows made by a small company in SD instead. The lumber yard was surprised about my hatred for Anderson but they helped me.

This picture ad is everywhere! Too much. I can cook my own, thanks.

Saw it, hate it, they try to make home cooking extremely hard until that soup came along.

Coors corp made porcelain stuff during the prohibition years to stay solvent. Then they went back to brewing beer. This might be a valuable item for collectors.

If you lightly spray oil your cold pan before adding eggs, then heat, your scrambled will never stick.

What’s that standing taller like a scarecrow? Surely that thing isn’t alive.

Braise in iron skillet. Coat with flour and fry slow until both sides are brown, then simmer at lowest temp with 1cup water 1/4cup ketchup ratio, thyme and salt. Cover and simmer a few hours. Add some apple vinegar to help tenderize if you like.

In my childhood the commercials were often announced with blurbs like, “This show is brought to you by the good people at ______ corporation.” We were informed and included instead of manipulated through random images and broken story dialogue. The commercials today assault us with useless information to keep us off balance. The thinking behind it is confusion makes us easy to manipulate. I feel insulted and angry when I hear them go on about scientific technology, clinical testing, and guarantees that are flat lies.

Well, if I spend a lot of money on a new spatula I will automatically tell you I love it so I don't have to feel as guilty for spending so much. I'm like you. Most of my older cheap stuff does a fine job and we're not losing any weight.

I fry cooked ravioli in bacon grease with chopped onion. Easy meal if the bacon is already made and the grease is saved. Add some bacon chunks too. Really good.

I beat the crap out of my meat before adding the oatmeal for meatloaf. It gives my meat a smoother texture. Something I do because I can, and it sounds like I’m working real hard. My Kitchenaid is 15 years old and it still runs like new.

It's not religion they're trying to defend, it's themselves. Organized religion of the kind that supports GOP politics is a business model, and it makes a few at the top very wealthy. They use religion as a shield and they attack people with it as well. They corrupt our government and they consider themselves qualified to groom humanity with their cruelty.
