Profile For crazyliblady - crazyliblady's effort to save money and restore sanity to her life

I got myself into a bit a financial mess and now I am trying to dig my way out.  I love the support and variety of ideas I have gotten from this group.

RE: Using Basil
I, too, am an addict. I chop it up very small and use it in stuff like stir fry and soups. It is very fragrant and blends well with other spices, like ginger and garlic. Here is an url with some recipes.

RE: What might be causing an itchy ear?
You could possibly have an infection in there. It's not like an inner ear infection where you have to take antibiotics for 10 days. I used to get infections a lot when I was a kid. For me, it was caused by bacteria in the public pool that I went to a lot during the summer. See your doc. ... View related article.

RE: Recipes Using Canned Chicken
I love to buy the Swanson's canned chicken, either the 3 pack of small cans or the larger cans. Another yummy option is the Tyson refrigerated chicken strips. The small cans are just the right size to make a chicken salad sandwich. I add mayo, salt, and pepper, but you can season it however you like.

I have also used it to make chicken soup, stir fry, chili, and black bean soup. You could also see using it to make soft or hard shell tacos, burritos, and stew. ... View related article.

RE: Mimzy Marie Blue (Grey and White Tuxedo)
I think Mimzy is just darling. She looks a little like my cat Morgaine. See photo below. Morgaine also loves to look out the window and could spend all day watching the birds out the front window. ... View related article.

RE: Does anyone know how to start a bartering group?
First, try this website to see if there is already a local group in your area. Being a member of freecycle is completely free. In fact, one of the main rules is that no money changes hands between people when something is traded. Over the years, my husband and I have given away and received thousands of dollars in stuff. I was always so glad to have what we received and grateful someone else could use the stuff we gave away.

RE: Slicing Onions Without Tears
I am planning on buying a food chopper like the one on this website. I have seen these at Big Lots for around $10.00 or less, so I will probably get it there rather than ordering online. I think the online bad thing is that you still have to cut it up enough to get it in the chopper and peel it. My strategy is to keep my hands away from my face, but it doesn't always work because onions can be very pungent.

RE: Cleaning a Narrow Necked Glass Decanter
I recently bought a bottle brush for wine flutes at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I think if you used something like that combined with white vinegar, it should come clean. ... View related article.

RE: What Can I Make With These Ingredients?
I would suggest one of the following:
Chicken Salad - just add something like leaf lettuce and/or spinach and salad dressing
Chicken Soup - add some barley and spices and this would probably make a good soup
Chicken Sandwiches - add Mayo or Mustard and favorite bread and it would make a good sandwich ... View related article.
