Christmas dinner is becoming less popular.

nuttybooklady @lazydaizee (5282) • United Kingdom 13h

I read an article in the newspaper the other day about how many people in the UK this year are going to swap a traditional Christmas dinner for a takeaway. I am not very fond of either but my family want a traditional dinner with...

Kaz I prefer a Christmas Dinner but we usually have a beef rib rather than a turkey. As it is just for the two of us a turkey would be too much (although I'm sure the cats would do their best to help!). I always prep what I can ahead of time so I'm not in the...

I was looking for something and found another.

marguicha @marguicha (210712) • Chile 8h

Friends, I will have to clean up the deep freezer. And I will have to do it soon as it is not something you do during summer. I was looking for some ground meat. I´m sure that I ahve some. But none was around. Yey I...

Kaz I only have a small freezer but even then I still find the occasional lost treasure or mystery container with no label - usually some home-made stock or bolognese sauce.

I am sorry, I just am not going to eat pink meat.

snowy @snowy22315 (163192) • United States 25 Nov

I have a cooking show on right now. Of course one of the chef's on there is classically trained, and he is all in favor of eating meat practically rare. The others were saying they want internal temps to be a certain temp,...

Kaz Whilst pork is "cleaner" these days, i.e. without Trichinella, that is only true for certain countries. Given the various "scandals" in the meat industry (horsemeat in beef products and outbreaks of thinks like salmonella or e.coli) and the food industry in...

Do you set up your Christmas tree yet?

youless @youless (111869) • Guangzhou, China 26 Nov

Today when I arrived at the office, I saw the Christmas tree was already set up downstairs. It gives me a good mood and I took a photo of it. It reminds me that the Christmas is coming and I shall prepare for the Christmas...

Kaz I don't have a Christmas tree any more because the cats think I'm giving them a challenge to see which of them can cause the most devastation.

A change of plan...

Kaz @KarenAnne (182) • United Kingdom 27 Nov

Yesterday I had planned to cook a piece of gammon for dinner and then use it for several other meals during the week. We'd bought it on Saturday together with a lot of other groceries which I put away when we returned from...

OK Kids, do you know what a beaver moon is?

snowy @snowy22315 (163192) • United States 27 Nov

I just found out this morning that November's moon is called a beaver moon because historically it was when beavers retreated to their lodges to hibernate for the winter. It was also when trappers did their fur trading. Anyway, a...

Kaz In Northern Europe it was known as Blood Moon because it was when they slaughtered the livestock to eat through the winter. I wonder what we would call it if we were naming it now?

Charity Shop Constipation.

Kaz @KarenAnne (182) • United Kingdom 14 Nov

This is a condition that my husband swears I suffer from. Or rather, I have it and he suffers from it. He says I cannot pass a charity shop (thrift store/op shop). He said this exact thing to me as we went in to a local one for...

Oh HI! I'm Alive!

Felicia Kane @DesirousDreamer (34767) • Peoria, Arizona 14 Nov

Kaz I've often wondered why taking care of teeth and eyes was somehow separate from other healthcare, as if they are "optional extras"! Good luck with your streaming.

Romance scams are a billion dollar industry now

Winterishere @thedevilinme (3770) • Northampton, England 14 Nov

Twisting words.

Kaz @KarenAnne (182) • United Kingdom 4 Oct

We are all aware that words can be twisted, key information omitted or downright lies can be told to us by those with an agenda. I'm currently learning about Ultra-Processed Foods and I'm finding it interesting that some...

What brand just doesn’t agree with you?

Amber @AmbiePam (79788) • United States 13 Nov

I am not out to bash any brand out there, because what is bad for me, could be excellent for you. When I think of a brand I’ve tried over the years, and every time it has irritated my skin, Olay comes to my mind first. After the...

Kaz One of the things I have to be careful of is toilet paper. Some are really irritating and you'd think it would be one of the things they'd try to get right! We've switched to a bamboo paper made by a company called "Who Gives A Crap" who are eco-friendly and...

Shocking Shopping.

Kaz @KarenAnne (182) • United Kingdom 13 Nov

I make no apologies for not liking having to go shopping. I accept that it's necessary but when it comes to groceries I usually like to get in and out and not to have emptied my bank account in the process. We mostly shop at...

Do you pair down your FB friends list periodically?

snowy @snowy22315 (163192) • United States 13 Nov

I have never done it. I guess I should, but I like reading what people are up to even if I don't have a connection with them. Sometimes on surveys and so forth too, you need to have a certain amount of people on your "friend's"...

What is the best way to get rid of a rat?

Diana @dya80dya (31034) 12 Nov

My father has a rat in his garage. He doesn't want to use poison because his garage is big and a dead body can't be found easily there. He bought a trap, but the rat just moves the trap. I am not sure what is the best way to get...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (22552) 12 Nov

If You Could Eliminate One Thing...

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (2044) • United States 26 Oct

Earlier I read elsewhere, "if you could eliminate one thing from the world,what would it be" and my answer was, wickedness. I would love for everything to be sunshine,roses, and unicorn kisses. Sadly, given the fallen nature of...

Kaz Greedy people have always outsourced jobs to where they pay the lowest they can get away with. so AI is just the latest way for them to cut their costs and increase their profits.

More shootings across the US. Will you be going to any large parties this Halloween weekend?

The Horse @TheHorse (195955) • Walnut Creek, California 29 Oct

it seems that a lot of the mass shootings that happen in the US occur at large parties. I think I will avoid large parties this weekend and at other times. I enjoy being out in public, but it's generally when I have something to...
