I’ve been using Mom’s old walker to get around the house. We saved the old folks’ stuff, and it’s paying off. The walker is as good as crutches for most of the places around the house, and it saves some of the discomfort under the arms. I know not to put the armpiece right into the armpit, but it still… Read more »
If I get lucky enough to be at Wal-mart when they’re trying to move the chickens and mark ’em down to half price, I’ll grab five or six of them. One will be set aside for immediate meals, the others deboned and either FD or frozen. Then the carcasses get processed for stock. Some day I’ll go the next step… Read more »
I haven’t bought any in a few years. Because I think the sugar-free ones really suck. And the real-sugar ones probably aren’t good for the teeth that I have left.
Hubby knows to save chicken bones from dinner in my “broth bag” in the freezer. I add vegetable trimmings, too. When it’s full, I dump it in my crockpot, add water and a little bit of vinegar, any seasonings, and cook it up. Crock pot – I let it simmer for at least a day. I want to pull all… Read more »
Jelly Belly jellybeans. I have a jar of those on my desk 12″ from my keyboard AND they’re in a Ronald Reagan jar that I got when I went his Presidential Library. FWIW; I saw the jar of Jelly Belly’s in the gift shop and wanted to get it but at $30 I said naw. Later when we got back… Read more »
TedTam, I’m sure that it will… I gotta make some before I can FD it… I did finally get some leftovers into the little round silicone molds like John in Bibs uses to make discs to FD. I’d picked up some reduced for quick sale chicken breast tenders that were preseasoned with ranch flavoring, added taters, carrots and such –… Read more »
At least a dozen business executives have endorsed Bill Ackman’s call to deny hiring members of student groups at Harvard who signed on to a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ deadly attack on Saturday that killed more than 1,200 people, including at least 22 Americans.

I did reduce the stock on the stove at first. The pot was within an inch of the top when I started, and I took it down about an inch and a half, maybe two, before putting it into Elsa. If I hadn’t done that, it wouldn’t have fit. I’m sure it saved Elsa some time, too.
Well I guess the bulk of the rain is going to miss us. It started drizzling about 10 AM and has not stopped all day, still drizzling now. SO we’ve got a grand total of .31″ of rain so far and that beats nothing but we’re getting serious rain to the north and south of us, been that way all… Read more »
Just finished putting my chicken stock into quart jars. If I’d used a blender to really powder it, I might’ve gotten it into one. I’m keeping one jar downstairs. Being able to make a cup at a time, quickly and easily, may be most welcome with (hopefully) colder weather on the way. Or I might add a little to my… Read more »

Hey GramPaw what’s fer supper? Well I’ve been real busy working around the little pond and have been remiss in the cooking department. Today that tropical depression brought us some drizzling rain so I decided I’d fix Honey Mustard Chicken N Taters, Honey, Garlic, N Sriracha Baby Carrots, English Peas and Texas Toast. I like this Chicken recipe because it’s… Read more »
And I would use Billy’s money to fly every Texan and American to Israel who wanted to enlist in the IDF and fight. Also fill the payload areas of each flight with as much small arms ammunition allowable.
The difference between me and billionaire Bill Gates is that I would use his money to hire every charter airliner on the planet to pick up every American who needs to get out of Israel.
SIX BILLION IS THE JOKE In a recent article, senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former National Security Council official Richard Goldberg traces the money trail. He confirms: It is so much worse than we think. Goldberg lays out the numbers. The $6 billion you’ve seen in every (other) headline is only the money being transferred… Read more »
Our neighborhood has lost one of this year’s fawns overnight Tuesday.

Bari Weiss of Substack fame and founder of the Free Press makes some great points about history, Nazis and Islamic jihadists.

#13 Squawk: are you retracting the claim that northern Israel is under drone attack?
It is understandable to believe that such a thing could be true, given the circumstances. In fact, it would be a great opportunity loss for Hezbollah to not attack at this time.
The Israelis undoubtedly have a big and lethal surprise to send Hamas today. May it knock Hamas into the middle of next week with one unforgettable demonstration.

A drippy good morning to all you Hamoustonians. It was nice to see a wet back yard when I got up this morning. Even better to see Billy Cat climb out of the center of the old gazebo when he heard me call his name. He is spending more and more time in my back yard, which I like very… Read more »

I hope y’all saw the video of Fox gal trying to get a comment out of the Evil Squat Squad leader, Rashida Tlaib.
The reporterette chased her down a hallway and into an elevator trying to get her to comment on Hamas beheading babies. The “C” word said nothing! Running out of SPIT!
Now here is an image that will send shivers up the spines of Hamas and give aid and comfort to our allies….NOT!!!! What a pathetic trio of Clowns! Remember the whole world sees this and knows how inept our so-called leadership is. SMDH Oh and ~SPITS~
Late checking in. The good news is we’re funally going to get some rain. Weather Guessers say we may get 2.4″, Dothan 1.65″ and Enterprise 1.75″ keeping fingers crossed. BTW; Enterprise ALWAYS gets more rain than us. So there’s that. 😉

Tedtam – thanx for reminder of how you do stock… Guess I’m going to have to stop buying boneless meat LOL
My jar isn’t from the the library but it’s pretty cool.
It holds an entire 2lb. bag. Except for about 12 jelly beans.
Which I was going to eat anyway.

Tedtam, Coconut N Pineapple=Pina Colada. They already have a hot buttered popcorn flavor.
I just saw the Podunk Meat Wagon driving by real slow I hope they weren’t looking for me. As far as I know I’m good. 😀

Do you mix your Jelly Bellies to make new flavors? Like butter and popcorn? Do they have chili and Frito? You could make a Frito Pie in your mouth.

I’ve been thinking about President Ronald Reagan the last couple of weeks.
So I bought two pounds of his favorite…..Jelly Belly jellybeans.
49 intense flavors. So good.

Yup. Too many other sources say no due to a cyber attack. But that too could change
