Of all my crops this first year of gardening for veggies, tomatoes were by far the greatest success. I have learned a lot, but I will put that into practice next year. Even with the tomatoes I learned too late that I should have...

In the last few weeks I've been "experimenting" in the kitchen. Honestly, I've surprised myself. I've challenged myself to ditch the recipe cards for at least one meal a week. For this meal I just "wing it." I check out the food...

cbchops Eww! Exploded eggs are bad news...the mess..the smell...the whole thing! Yuck, yuck, yuck! I forget things all the time when I'm cooking. I normally forget garlic bread when I'm toasting it for just a few minutes in the oven. My family has developed a liking...

cbchops Hi...I see you're new to myLot. I'm pretty new at this too, but it's my understanding that the quality of your posts is much more important the the mere number of posts. Leave great comments, start great discussions...get paid. You probably won't strike it...

I love to shop on Ebay. It's a game for me. I hunt down great buys and then watch and wait to try to get the bext price while not loosing the item to another sneaky ebayer like me. I'm working on getting an amazing deal on a sofa...

cbchops The deals you can get on new technology are amazing. You can get great things at a fraction of the retail cost. A while back I bought MP3 players from China for Sunday School prizes. They were a bit difficult to load with music, but for .99 a piece my Sunday...

cbchops You can definitely find stuff on eBay that you can't find anywhere else. If you can dream it up...someone is trying to sell it on eBay! I think that's part of what makes it so great. You can get great collections or sets of things in "bits and pieces" and pay...

cbchops I take lots of pictures too! I really try to capture as much of my girls' lives as I can. They're only going to be little once. I'm so thankful for technology that helps us remember it forever.

cbchops Great! I have a chicken in the refrigerator. I'll give it a try tonight! I try to use natural ingredients. Canned stock is one of the few canned items I purchase. I feel guilty feeding my little girls additives and processed foods. They deserve so much better!...

cbchops I've never tried green ones. They definitely shouldn't be too ripe thouggh. I wouldn't try drying them if they're mushy. Also, if the tomatoes have bruises on them I cut off the bruised parts. Good luck! You may try making salsa with your tomatoes too. I...

cbchops Drying tomoatoes is super easy. It takes a lot of time, but it's easy to do. I normally dry romas, but you can dry any kind. First decide if you want skin off or on. Either is fine. If you want the skin off drop tomatoes in boiling water for about 30 seconds,...

cbchops Your mangos are probably long gone now, but here's an idea for the future. We live in Florida & have mangos quite often. My daughters love mango smoothies. We blend yogurt, organe juice, mangos, and ice in a blender. It makes a great summer treat. It's healthy...

cbchops What am I don't wrong with my broth? When I just boil the chicken in water it doesn't seem quite rich enough. (I don't take the bones out either.) That's why I boil it in canned broth. When I just use water and add "Better than Buillion" it's better. Any tips?...

cbchops Give it a try! Start easy with something that you can't really mess up too bad...like pasta sauce. You know the base is tomatoes. Add some garlic, basil, & oregano. Toss in some veggies if you like. Then use you sauce in a pasta dish. I've shared a couple...

I am a well educated person that has chosen to stay home with my two young boys. It strikes me that there is a symantic difference between a housewife and a homemaker. I think that I started as a housewife. I mainly took care of...

cbchops Though they are often used equivocally, I think there is a distinction between the two words. In my opinion, it's kind of like the words mother and mommy. Any woman can become a mother, but not all mothers deserve to be called mommy. A housewife is merely a...
