Grilled burgers, sweet potato fries

@Marianne , I'm guessing that the distal incision is for the trigger finger, and the proximal incision is for the carpal tunnel. You are blessed in that the doc was willing to do both at the same time. Often surgeons will not do that, b/c it prevents them from dipping into the billing pot...

18 minutes, then natural steam release for buttery smooth sweet potatoes. Use the trivet and 1-1/2 cup of water. Put the potatoes on the trivet, set it and walk away. 15 minutes leave them a bit under cooked which works out better for this dish, IMO. We had it tonight (which is the ONLY reason...

It's been a long three or four weeks. But the stitches are out and I'm able to have some brief computer time. I had carpal tunnel for probably 20 years or more, but it took the trigger finger not settling down to make me see the surgeon. I'd had steroid shots in that same finger twice, so it was...

When I can, I use the Instant Pot to cook or at least partially cook sweet potatoes. They're super easy to get the peel off, cut easily and still hold their shape to lightly fry for dishes like this.

I do. My point is that I'd like to see politics and religion not discussed on this particular forum. I am very engaged in politics, ran for public office and won in my district, but it's nice to have a place to go that isn't discussing it.

Nutz. I love their bulk lentils, beans, rice, etc. They do ship Fed EX, etc, but unless you ordered enough to fill a pallet so it'd ship on a truck, the shipping cost would probably be horrendous. I'd aim for a local-ish or closer LDS. Some Mormon groups don't mind you going in with them on...

I buy bulk items from Azure Standard. azurestandard.com

Bacon/ranch quiche tonight. Lots of eggs to use up around here, too.

Leftover BBQ pork sammies for DH, leftover lentil crumble stuff for me. Still working on older stuff from the freezer and frig.

You are absolutely correct, what a great bunch of links - thanks for posting!

Maybe a better place to put political and religious threads would be on individual's blogs. I have to say that I was glad when I came back after all these years to see that the religious areas were no longer listed. This forum is for self sufficient folks and although all of it might eventually...

On the other hand, every vote counts. Including those that you don't agree with. Sure would be nice if this was ONE place I could come to that was not discussing politics. Just sayin'....

This may have helped with the pain today, but I can see where the orange/yellow knees might be an issue. hahahaha My knees look like I have a little self tanning lotion on them. I don't know how fast it will accumulate or how fast it will wash off. :thumbsup

Zucchini, Corn and Black Bean soup for me (trying to use up somethings lurking in the frig), smoked burgers for the other old fart. https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/zucchini-corn-black-bean-soup/#gs.vbc5bs

We get them all the time from Wal-Mart. Caulipower is really good. We didn't like the Green Giant one from our local market. The trick is to make sure the crust is really crispy. You can also use them to make crackers and flatbreads. The cauli crusts won't be by the pizza. We had to ask - they...

Chicken Fajitas last night. Really small, two person lasagna tonight. Just using up the rest of the sauce from when we had ravioli.

I'm trying this one for arthritis pain. Warming Ginger Cayenne Salve Ingredients 1 cup carrier oil (olive or coconut or even a combination of the two) ¼ cup beeswax pastilles 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper powder 1 tablespoon ginger root powder 1 tablespoon turmeric root powder 1 tablespoon...

My view is that there would be plenty of work to be done in the house. Not everyone needs to be working in the soil.
