English Toffee--super easy
Posted By: Kendra on 2008-11-26
In Reply to: Need ideas please - me
You can put down any kind of nuts you want--if you want in a raised-sided cookie sheet.
Cook 1# of butter and 1# of brown sugar plus a little vanilla to hardball stage (I put a little in a cup of cold water and if it is crunchy, it is done).
Quickly pour into cookie sheet because it is easy to burn. Scatter one bag of chocolate chips on top and wait to melt a little before speading across the top.
Everyone loves it and it is pretty easy to make. Once it cools, you break it into pieces.

What I do a lot and is super easy
Is just take a bag of frozen vegetables, usually whatever I have. Broccoli/caul/carrots, broc/caul... or those new steam in the bag veggies. I just cook up some kind of whole wheat pasta, whatever I have, and then throw it together with the veggies. Sometimes I add some kind of pasta sauce or even just sprinkle with parmesan. If it's one of those packages of veggies that's already seasoned, that's really good too. I don't feel like pasta, I'll use rice instead. Quick and easy and you don't feel deprived because of all those veggies.
Super easy homemade pizza
Very yummy and under $10 Serves 3-4
1 lb ground hamburger or 1 bag of pepperoni
1 box jiffy pizza crust mix
1 bag shredded pizza cheese
1 jar pizza sauce
Brown hamburger, drain; set aside. Make crust mix as per directions. Put into pizza pan - bake 3 minutes. Layer sauce, a little cheese, meat, then more cheese. Bake on 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. You won't believe how delicious this is!
I have had this and it is very good! Another toffee recipe...
1 pound of butter, one pound of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla and 1 bag of chocolate chips. (nuts if you want).
If you want some sort of nuts, place in bottom of cookie sheet with raised sides before starting.
Heat butter until melted and add brown sugar and vanilla. Heat on stove to hard crack stage--if you do not have a candy thermometer (like me) put cold water in a cup and drip a little in to check and see if it is ready. When it is crunchy, it is done. Pour into cookie sheet and scatter chocolate chips over the top. They will melt and you can spread them like in the recipe above.
Super sad
I took three kittens home from the vet to give them extra TLC as they started going downhill. One died a week or so after coming home. The second one died a week or two after that. Tonight the remaining kitten went from playing to unresponsive in about 30 minutes. We just rushed her back to the vet but I think she's going to die as well. She's getting fluid right in her bone now and a little glucose. The vet thinks they all had failure to thrive syndrome as none of them have gotten over a pound and I syringe fed them every couple hours besides what they ate on their own. I'm trying to keep up hope for the last one that we've started calling "Little One." 
SUPER BOWL
GabbyChic,
I suggest you actually watch this game. Been a Steeler fan 30+ years, eventhough, I moved to Texas in 88. I promise you, this won't be boring.
I spoke with the super last night
to arrange this meeting today. I pointed out to him that the policies have a list (long list I might add) of things they consider as weapons but they don't list pepper spray.
I get the feeling that he is going to go with me on this and chalk it up to an unfortunate event.
Sadly, if things go the opposite direction, there is no alternative school. This is a very small town. We would have to pack up and move away in order to put her in another school.
Homeschooling is not an option.
Will followup after the meeting.
We have had them super bad for years and were told
we heard about this stuff called Tempo and we found it at our local feed/farm supply store. A small bottle around $45, but we have used last year and again this year. The trick is to get them before they come in, which is usually after the first frost. With the crazy fall we have had, hot, cold and hot again, today was 70 in WV, I think we sprayed too soon, but there are some, but not the
thousands we have had in the past. I also heard dish detergent also worked, like Ajax or whatever, we tried this last year, but also did the Tempo, so I am sure it was the Tempo.
Actu7ally A&H Super Scoop is what I use, tho' cat
It doesn't seem to be the texture so much, as I've found even softer ones (the softest being Feline Pine Scoopable), but she wants no part of it. Prefers plastic or linoleum. Have removed all litter and just used:
a) Empty litter box
b) Newspapers or paper towels -
but the problem there is it's only good for one use, then the box has to be completely washed out. Not very practical, sanitary, or good-smelling.
Colts are Super Bowl Champs sm
Woohoo! GO COLTS!

3 yo granddaughter got super-glue in hair,

Having our annual Super Bowl party
Just a few close friends. We're having pizza and chicken wings and my the neighbors bring over various dishes. One usually brings over a great hot chicken wig dip and my husband will make chilli in the crockpot. My friend and I just like to watch the commercials. LOL. After we eat and see the halftime show, the kids and women go across the street for our own party.
Hot (but not super hot) chocolate and a couple Tylenol.
It's my Wonder Drug.
Tell Us ABout Yer Super Bowl Plans this Year.
what are you doing? Making? Will ya be on your own or having peeps over?
Having our annual Super Bowl Party
We have one every year. We're having about 15 friends over. Pizza, wings, assorted munchies and whatever dishes our friends decide to bring. It's a lot of fun even though I just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, and the halftime show.
5yo Daughter cut her hair super short...
She cut it so short on the front and on the sides around her ears.... How she got scissors I have no clue, because I am in my office and she didn't get them form ME!!! URGH I am so mad!!! She had absolutely the prettiest long brown hair! I don't know what to do! I can't take her to the hair place because I have NO money!!! I spent my last few dollars on groceries until next paycheck... LOL. Anyone know a good hair site? I tried to Google some.
English
My spouse and I feel that if you are immigrating into the US, you need to speak English. Of course as an MT I do not like my work being threatened by India (I previously worked in bank customer service, and my company there outsourced 3000 jobs to India and laid off all the US CSRs). My spouse grew up in Detroit which is now classified as a" dead city" with the highest unemployment rate and some of the lowest house values in the nation due to outsourcing of the auto companies to Mexico and many auto parts and steel are now made in Asia.
However, we may even learn Spanish. He is retraining in Nursery and Greenhouse Management and it just makes sense as that will help him manage the laborers. if he ever owns his own biz, we will insist on legitimate papers for every worker.
You can transcribe between two languages from home, just like you do MT from home. Spanish does not pay as much as, say, Arabic (a language I strongly wanted to learn) but there is more demand for it and it is easier to learn for an English speaker (and if we all get lucky, our overseas Middle East involvement will cease and there will be no more need for transcription of Arabic to English. Somehow I don't think we will get that lucky).
What gets me is people who move here and still do not speak the language after 5 or 10 years!!!
I would not even visit another country as a TOURIST without studying the language for months ahead of time if there was not a lot of English spoken there, and I would study some of the indigenous language anyway. It's just a sign of respect.
I think it is going to be to our benefit to be bilingual but I don't see us ever not having at least some ambivalence about the people we speak it to (but I think we will meet some good people as well).
Mostly English but
My dad's family came to Pennsylvania in the early 1700s but my mom's family came in the late 1800s, one side from Ireland and the other from Germany/Poland. So while we speak English, we use various slang German and Polish words along with some Pennsylvania Dutch.

Immigrated in the 1600s.

How about a super glue/duct tape combo?
I can't tell what material the broken part is though.
Love his book "The Stand" - but that was a super flu - sm
that killed you quick. From what I have read most people live through the swine flu, no deaths in the U.S. as yet I believe. Probably like any flu, the very young, and very old have the most to worry about, and those immuno-compromised of course.

When she asked if I spoke English, I would...
have said, "No, I don't, but thanks for asking" and hung up.
You do read English, correct?
It says the son does NOT want these people at his wedding. It is the son and the woman he is marrying, not the grandmother. HELLO!
And don't forget to press 1 for English - or is it 2?

This is America. Learn English.
Why does this country make it so easy for them NOT to learn English?
This Is America. My grandparents who came from Italy learned English. They weren't "catered to" in Italian.
Now it's.... Press 1 for English 2 for Spanish.
Instructions to anything are given in both English and Spanish.
Signs all over are in written in Spanish.
We make it easy for them. Why should they learn English.
Because they spend money in this country. Is that why? They should make an effort to learn the language spoken here. JMO
Thoughts?
Not to mention when you try to make a service call, you get someone from India you can barely understand. Outsourcing, what a beautiful thing. NOT.
I teach English as a volunteer.
While there are immigrants here who do not choose to actively pursue learning the language via formal means, there are many who do. We have a waiting list of up to 12-14 months due to class space restrictions and a lack of volunteers. English is not an easy language to learn, and it takes time.
Why do I have to "press 1," (or, worse yet, 2) for English...

Hands down....The English Patient
Absolutely the worst movie I have ever seen.
Great board and a super idea! How about fall decoration ideas?
Again, about the English part, listen closely
The mother of the groom is saying the grandmother is calling and giving threatening messages. I would not give a rats behind I would not want to even invite her if she cannot control her anger. It is THEIR wedding, not the grandmothers, not the mothers, but THEIRS. People send out messages by what they say- the mother says the grandmother is threatening. Why don’t you invite the grandmother somewhere??? Oh really sounds like someone I would like to come to my wedding, NOT!
well your english/grammar/punctuation/spelling
Who would want your rudeness around their children or good neighbors anyway? Since you seem to be just a judgmental person, perhaps there is some utopia somewhere for the likes of folks like you....hmmmmm? We wouldn't want you in the city nor the country as neighbors of our family, that's for sure, and WE DON'T IMBIBE...so there!
Rudeness and hate is taught in the home - now we know how it was for you.....poor thing....

Hilarious/scary Chinese-->English Learning Aid...sm
Since language is "our thing" - and particularly ESL - I thought you'd like to get a head start on what to expect from future Chinese dictators. Get a load of these Chinese-to-English learning blocks (I'll post this as an URL you can paste into your browser since some are reluctant to click on links):

I suggest we practice by forming sentences, such as: "The patient is a construction worker who was operating a navvy when a crustacea flew into the cab. Mistaking it for a darning needle, he swatted at the crustacea and lost control of the navvy, which crashed. Unfortunately, he was not wearing a safety armet at the time and was knocked unconscious..."
Don't be a jerk. Most of us were lucky enough to be born into English speaking families.

that's a real old-timey one and they still make it...I remember my grandfather used it....just go in and Google Yardley. Better yet, if you can find a real old barber ask what he's used on cutomers over the years...Good luck.  Cat
I switch between soy saugage on whole wheat english muffin and yogurt or
fresh fruit with yogurt and Bare Naked granola. Coffee of course.
Not easy....
I have been there and it's not an easy decision to make. I did get a second opinion and that really helped me make my final decision. In my case it was possible cancer of the uterus. When I thought about being a single mom and how much I wanted to see my daughter grow up and after getting the second opinion I had the surgery. Although it was difficult to go through at the time it was really freeing. No more times of the month, no more Kotex supplies, etc. I have never regretted the decision since! Get a second opinion, it's worth the time and effort!
I think it would be easy, too, IF I had someone to do all the
chopping and measuring for me!!! LOL!!!
Does anyone have an easy way to keep a
dog's teeth clean if they resist brushing? I am concerned about her. I tried to brush them a few times and only was successful for part of the lower teeth. I know that if bacteria gets into the blood stream they can really become dangerously sick and even die from this. How about some items that can be bought at pet chain stores? We should have started her out early to get used to it. Any advice would be so appreciated.
