I have three tips I would like to share: When you roast a whole chicken, freeze the whole carcass (after you are done carving the meat out) in a large freezer Ziploc gallon size bag and save it for another dinner - Soup. You can also boil the carcass with onions, celery, carrots, parsnips, salt, pepper and herbs for at least 4 hours to make a stock. To save time on cleaning your refrigerator, place a long piece of aluminum foil on the bottom of each drawer. When it's time to clean out … [Read more...]

Neglect
April 1, 2008 by 1 Comment
Since having my own domain name & blogging, I've been doing something I'm not very proud of. It's called neglect. I've neglected my house that keeps me protected, warm and happy. How can I do this to my house? I love my house clean and organized but that is not what I've been doing lately. I've been occupying my brain with domain names, blogging and web sites. I know hubby isn't happy about my neglect but he keeps quiet about it. Something I wish he … [Read more...]

I need to confess………..
March 31, 2008 by 2 Comments
Just wanted to post another entry and confess that I am really loving this blog. My host server is Godaddy.com and they are great. I contacted them 3 times today with different questions and they helped me so much all three times. I could not say that for Yahoo but in reality, I never called their customer service before. I'm sure they would've been helpful too. Yahoo is great for those who want to sell and promote their business but I don't think it was … [Read more...]

Here is what Giada said about her news: “When I found out I was pregnant I was in complete shock,” De Laurentiis said last … [Read more...]
Be OYSTER aware!
March 26, 2008 by Leave a Comment
I once heard this joke: What kind of noise annoys an oyster? A noisy noise annoys an oyster. Say that 5 times fast. LOL…. OK, all jokes aside. Let’s be serious now. Everyone knows that Oysters are usually eaten raw with fresh lemon juice and sometimes with hot sauce but did you know that Gulf Coast Oysters can carry bacteria called Vibrio vulnificus? It causes vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, especially if you have chronic liver disease, impaired immune systems, diabetes and cancer. It … [Read more...]
