| RE: Inexpensive Lucite Salt/Pepper Mills or Grinders |

My lucite pepper grinder exploded in my hand and more importantly in my casserole. I use them several times a day and apparently in twisting there was a stress point and a fracture and shards went everywhere. I had to throw everything out. Be Careful!!! ... View related article. |

| RE: What To Do With Large Brick Fireplace |
|
My house was originally built by a brickmason as his personal residence. He went all out with the fireplace so I know what you mean. The fireplace is huge. It is natural brick. I wanted to paint it a light off white to brighten the room but my husband freaked. So it is natural brick. I did have a brass and glass folding firescreen installed and it seems to draw your eye to that area and not so much to all that brick. I redid the mantle to a more attractive one and use a large framed mirror placed in the center of the mantle to make the room look larger and reflect whatever is there - flowers, Christmas greenery etc. It does take your eye away from all that brick. A nice set of firetools displayed on the hearth works well also. We have also used large wrought iron candlesticks, but you have to be conscious of what the heat does to the candles. These are cosmetic changes but they do take your eye away from that expanse of brick. One summer I took a large tangle of grapevines and threaded white lights and sprigs of silk ivey through them and it was quite pretty. I hung them on the brick and it looked like a fancy cafe setting and wasn't very expensive. ... View related article. |

| RE: Meal Ideas For Top Teeth Being Removed |
|
Soft meatloafs with gravy or non-spicy sauces, mashed broccoli or cauliflower with cheese sauce, mashed potatoes with gravy for sure, broiled fish with butter to keep them soft, spoon bread, soft boiled cabbage or any vegetable really that doesn't have a fibrous covering. Squash or zucchini, sweetened stewed tomatoes to neutralize the acid in them, ice cream, sherberts, milk shakes, puddings, and any good nutritional milkshake like Ensure. Even the diet shakes can be good calorie sources when you drink them betwen meals. Chicken crouquettes or stuffings with finely diced chicken, mac and cheese, applesauce, jellos. God bless her and I wish her a speedy recovery. ... View related article. |

I had the same problem and had to resort to changing the band on the watch to leather. If you don't want to do it yourself, a jewelry store would probably do it for you. I also have a sterling silver band and that works great also. ... View related article. |

If you live in a small community with a local fire department, sometimes you can exchange their water for a cash donation to their organization. They will come and pump it in their offtimes. If you pay by check, it counts as a donation for your taxes also. It may be a small town thing though but you could check. ... View related article. |

If you are printing from a website, look at your PRINT PROPERTIES to make sure that the "fit to page" box is not checked. This will come up in a box when you click the print command. If it is checked, then uncheck it. Another solution would be to click File, then Save as, and then save the file to your hard drive.

Cheeseburger Meatloaf for Crockpot
This meatloaf, cooked in the crockpot, is stuffed with cheeseburger toppings.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 pound lean ground beef (ground round)
* 1/2 pound mild bulk breakfast sausage
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* 1 package dry mushroom or onion gravy mix (1 1/4 ounce)
* 1 tablespoon dry minced onion, or use fresh
* 1/2 cup oatmeal
* 2 tablespoons ketchup
* 1/4 cup low fat evaporated milk
* black pepper, to taste
* .
* Filling:
* mustard
* ketchup
* 6 to 8 hamburger dill pickle slices
* thin tomato slices, about 5 or 6 (reserve remaining slices for serving)
* 4 to 8 slices American cheese
PREPARATION:
First, make foil "handles." Fold a 30-inch long piece of foil in half lengthwise. Place in bottom of a slow cooker with both ends hanging over top edge of cooker.The foil strip will make it much easier to remove the meatloaf when it's done. I also put a rack or a piece of crumpled foil in the bottom to keep the meatloaf out of the fat.
Combine meatloaf ingredients, mixing gently until thoroughly mixed. Take half of the meatloaf mixture and make a ball. On a piece of aluminum foil, flatten to about 7 to 8 inches. Drizzle with mustard and ketchup to within 3/4 inch of edges. Top with dill pickle slices. Top pickle slices with halved tomato slices. Top with 4 cheese slices.
Make a ball of the remaining meatloaf mixture and flatten it on a separate piece of aluminum foil to roughly the same diameter. Place it atop the first meat/stuffing round, sealing edges with fingers.
Carefully lift meatloaf and place gently into the crockpot. Fold the excess length of aluminum foil over it. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours on low. Using the foil and both hands, remove to a platter and cut in wedges.
Serves 6 to 8. ... View related article. |
