Superbowl Fare
So the Superbowl is this Sunday with kickoff at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time. Are you making anything special for snacks or other food to serve? I'm looking at the posted cheese ball recipes.

So what is everyone doing now?
What are you doing to be keeping busy now that the holidays are over? I'm still running back and forth to the nursing home, working on projects for church, and trying to get some projects done at the house. The painting bug has hit me so I'm trying to get things ready for when this frigid weather subsides. It's so so cold here now and is to be worse tomorrow. Summer suits me so much better!

Cooking Liver
DH was given a package of liver for me to cook for dinner this evening. I do NOT like liver personally. Is there a failproof method for cooking this? It has been many, many years since I’ve cooked any. DH orders liver out when he’s hungry for it. Thanks for any tips. Fairly hot with lots of onions?

Please read the contributor's note at the end.Overseas Candy (never Read more [...]
ISO: Ronco Showtime Rotisserie Info
Just wondering if anyone has one of these and likes or dislikes it. One of the PT's has been raving about his, and they have had it for quite a long time. He says it's the best chicken ever...so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Also a lot less expensive than the money spent on those rotisserie chickens we grab and take home for quick meals and leftovers in the long run. I've Read more [...]
Leftover Turkey
I made this for dinner this evening, and we really enjoyed it. Great way to use up some of that leftover turkey bird for our tastebuds. Just thought I'd share. I've adjusted the recipe for the way I'll make it next time. That would be the addition of the ginger, red pepper, rice and the canned vegetables other than the mushrooms that her recipe called for.Leftover Turkey Stir Fry Ingredients:6 Read more [...]

Janet, there seems to be some mixup as to whether or not you received your ornament from me. I truly hope you did. It was sent toward the end of November…
