Thank you, metroplex. That is more like the one that I am looking for! The last one that you so kindly found for me, I can just add more goodies. When I was younger, I used to make these in Feb., wrap in brandy soaked cheese cloth, then foil, stored in a cool dark place. Yummy at Xmas, same with Plum puddings. And the same to you Metroplex, even tho' it seems early. It would be nice to have these things done. Now that our Thanksgiving is over! Thank you for responding! ... View related article.
If you have a chop saw, which I do! I thoroughly clean the blade with steel wool, soap, touch of bleach and water, dry completely...and voila! It has the power to cut thru it easily! I do this with large, beef & pork roasts, which I buy from Costco! thoroughly freeze, then cut into any size portions you wish! I just don't like double freezing meat! Good luck! ...

I, too, live alone, and live a hectic life, so when I cook, it's for several meals! I purchased a "Food Saver" last fall....and don't know how I live this long without one! Not only the extra cooking, but now do now canning as my trusty Food Saver looks after all! It has paid for itself time & again! I also live where seafood, shellfish is plentiful (in season) so love preserving this way, to be enjoyed a yr. long! Cheers! ... View related article.
Great idea...but I am concerned about "Swiffer!" Have just received an email (checked on Snopes)...the chemical cleaner in "Swiffer" is causing liver failure in our pets, and there is a warning (very small print) on the package about animals & children! The chemicals used are very close to "anti-freeze" which we all know is toxic! ... View related article.
I have owned one for about 4 years, and only find it does small jobs (stains) but, it seems I am forever repairing it. I keep it handy, but know each use I will find another small repair job. So far, I have been able to repair all problems! ... View related article.
