We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Shani cold cucumber soup is always delicious come summer when the cucumbers come in.



Tonight we are having Flounder fillets w/ lemon slices, orange peel, rosemary, salt & pepper in a butter sauce. We had home grown summer squash, tomatoes, onions & lemon peel sauteed together. We had boiled new Red potatoes. We had DELICIOUS!

Tonight I finely chopped up vegetables from Maxis garden & put them in to steam w/ the rice while it cooked. Then I made a light hamburger gravy to go over top of it. Yummy in the tummy!

I am trying to purchase as little as possible this month and eat out of my pantry and freezer. I need to get rid of the older items and I want to conserve some funds. Chuck roast will make a few meals for us.

Carol if your health status will allow it, you can beat cake batter with a wooden spoon. Just make sure to raise the spoon out of the batter on the up stroke so that you are pulling air down into it on the down beat. You want your cakes light and fluffy and that takes air. 300 beats (up and down is 1) for each minute of electric beater time.

I use that method all the time.


So tonight we are having Beef Stew from leftover pot roast. And just because Maxi loves them so, I tossed in a few handfuls of Rigatoni noodles.

I know I can beat it by hand---sadly I am old enough that I rememebr the boxes saying how many time you had to hand beat a cake if yo udid not h ave a mixer---

But I will let you in on a secret--I do not want to do it by hand---no I do not!!! nono
Me getting a new hand mixer sounds like so much more fun, dont you think?????

is it a Stationay or a hand mixer, barb??
I need a hand mixer, as I have a nice GE stationary mixer already. But as counter space is at a premium I need a hand mixer to use in my everyday projects.
I had originally wanted A Kitchen Aid but the reviews on the 5 speed were not good & the 7 & 9 speed are hard to find not to mention costly.
I have a question of you.--I have heard complaints about the round beaters versus the flat beaters of other mixers---what is your opinion on them???

My DD's say that the girl they used to baby sit has a hard time getting volumn in her recipes like say egge white with the kitchen aide hand mixer. But then perhaps she has the smallest one..

Carol many things can decrease the volume of egg whites. The very last thing I'd ever think of would be the mixer. I can get egg whites up with a hand held wire whisk & just beating 'em to bits! lol

Tonight we had ribs in the crock pot, mashed potatoes and turnips.

Well Carol..do like I did...demand, demand, demand haha

"If you don't buy me a new mixer than I'm not baking anymore", DH say's, "well we better get one the next trip to WalMart"...

It's just a $50 'Procter Silex Burst' but so far the best mixer I have ever owned...and it comes off it's stand with a push of a button and came with the special 'whisk' for beating egg whites.

Today will be some kind of glazed chicken.

Proctor Silex Burst huh?? well--it is back to Wally World I go, I guess.
see, I didnt read where the stationary's might bbe removable---and that was my prioce range--so all is well. Thanks tamara--

and yes DH would do just as yours did BUT it would be 1 trip to 1 store---& then I should just get wahtever was there---the cheaper the better---not gonna happen. nono

Barb; I know that Kitchen aid is the top of the line & I had originally wanted that or nothing---but as I say I cannot find teh 7 o r 9 spped hand mixer---but I will keep looking---

Thanks you guys for your advice

for supper--gee I guess I need to get some burger out of the freezer. I can always decide what to do with it later, right????

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Come on over, Carol Jean! lol




By the way, have you ever made taco salad w/ catalina dressing rather than taco seasoning? It is really good!

You do not even use taco seasoning in your taco salad Carol? When you brown the meat? As though you are making tacos?

nope--see when I was a kid growing up my dad did nopt care for the taco seasoning, so when MOm made tacos she would jsut do the mat up like I do now--& so that is how I got used to it & how I prefer it.

DH's mom did not even try to serve such meals at home. MY FIL like fried meat & plain potaotes. I do not thing even hamburgers were allowed too often.

so he was jsut happy to have the taco like I fixed it---that & Italian foods MIL never fixed them either.

Um Carol that one family may prefer plain cooking, but that isn't the German way. I'm German and I can gaurantee you there is nothing plain about snitzel, strudel, goetta, bratwurst and other such traditional German foods.

To each his own, though. If your DH wasn't taught as a child to eat a wide variety (textures & flavors) of foods, I can see why it might be tough to coax him now. Though just plain curiosity can go a long way at meal time!

But might I ask if you don't use taco seasoning, why do you call it "taco salad"?

well because minus teh seasoning it that i s waht it is.

I learned to do it this way when the kids were in school. They were served it this way at school.

you lay down corn chips. then layer on, in your preferred order, the cooked meat, (I also cook in onions) shredded lettuces, shredded cheeses, tomatoes & what ever else I have on hand. like perhaps chopped avacodos, & sour cream & any other veggie that I have on hand.
and BTW: DH's mom & grandmother cooked very plainly. They rarely even have gravy for mashed potaotes. If it was a casserol my FIL did not like it--to this day I think he thought it was less work for my MIL so that was out of the question--- rolz
