In Need of Comfort Food

January 23rd, 2012

We are snowed in again. This is the third storm this winter that has affected schools and kept me trapped in the house. We have an inch on the ground with more snow predicted tonight and even more predicted next week. I wonder if the Farmer’s Almanac called for this much bad weather this winter? If I ever get out to the store again, I might just pick up a copy of the Almanac and read up on what it forecast for Tennessee.

Sobe in Plastic?

December 15th, 2011

For an occasional treat, I will enjoy a nice cold Sobe beverage. My  favorite is the Green Tea, but I also like the citrus flavor and recently tried the Nirvana, which has a melon flavor.

Activated Charcoal for Odor Removal

December 15th, 2011

This morning I went down stairs to the basement where I have my large freezer jam packed with frozen food, only to find that some how the door was not closed all the way, for god knows how long, and every piece of frozen food had gone bad. I had probably over $1000 worth of food, mainly meats, stored in there. What a bad way to start the week out and what a mess I have to look forward to cleaning up.

I just might call in some professionals, what with Christmas in less than two weeks I really have my hands full. I may have to go online and look for a place that can use activated charcoal for odor removal if the odor is too bad for me to stomach. I’ve used http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-cleaning-services/  in the past and have been happy with them and what they have done for me in my previous times of need through out the years of home ownership.

Price of Beef

November 1st, 2011

The price of beef has been inching upwards the past few years. It is getting very hard to afford the good cuts of beef for regular family dinners. I have had to cut back on steaks for just special occasions.

I think it is time to start exploring different ways to cook fish. If you have any favorite recipes, please share!
