Coffee, cereal with lots of sugar on it, and

I think it tastes burnt. But I do like their iced coffee drinks, full of milk and sugar, LOL. nm

I make a mean Chex mix
When I had an on-site job, I used to bring it in for parties and it was a big hit and I once had a friend and that's all she wanted for X-mas was a batch of homemade Chex mix.
I use the original recipe as opposed to the newer, albeit healthier, one that's on the back of the box these days. In other words, tons of real butter and seasoned salt! I also like to use a mix of peatnuts and cashews and substitute either Cheez-Its or Goldfish crackers for the pretzels since real junk food afficianados don't like pretzels anyway.
I wish I could figure out a way to make a living at junk food because I think I'm pretty good at creating it.
Chex Mix Turtle
I can polish off the whole bag in one sitting!!
Original Chex Mix
Just made a batch this afternoon for my son. I hope he eats it up quickly because I can hardly leave it alone.
I never tried the Chex Mix Turtle, but that sounds even better. I better stay away from that one!
I am constantly making my own Chex mix.
Give me that and a glass of milk and I am happy.
Cereal
I usually eat a bowl of cereal while I'm working.
Ha ha! I just choked on my cereal!
There was a show on a couple of years ago that featured everyday people inventing things, one was a hook for just this situation. I can't remember whatever happened to that...I would buy one in a second!
do you freeze stuff like cereal and
flour for 24-48 hours to prevent weavils? Will load on toilet paper, that's for sure! Have heard some stories about that!
never froze cereal or flour.
I have never had a problem with weavils either but I know what they are because we had them once when I was a teenager. I bake a lot and we are all about breakfast here so maybe that's why. Even though I stock up we still go through it pretty fast and I am sure to rotate everything to the front of the shelves when I bring it home.
cereal is an all time fav here in my house..
but dh grilled pork chops and hot dogs, so I didn't have to cook.. Thank God~
A coffee pot. No more instant coffee!!! :-) nm

buy generic
I buy generic. Will try anything once and if it is too nasty, not use it again. I now buy generic laundry soap (who can afford to pay $12 for a bottle of Tide or Cheer?), generic soups for cooking. I have found some things actually taste better than name brand. I used to only buy ground sirloin for hamburgers...that has stopped.
My only advice...do not buy generic toilet paper. It is useless!!
I always buy generic.
I oftentimes laugh when I am shopping at my local store as I know when a meal or baking is done what the problem could be in doing this as doubt anyone can tell or if there is a difference that I made this with generic eggs for say 1.29 a dozen rather than those fancy eggs with a little stick-on at about twice as much. Doubt it.
Find a local closest to home discount grocery.
Stock up on staples and store them appropriately. If you bake, store brown sugar with a piece of bread in it to keep it soft, replace it if you need to. Lots of items can be stored in freezer bags of the appropriate size, spaghetti, macaroni, etc. Better than the bag it comes in. Get those generic too.
I buy all my paper items in bulk - much cheaper to buy a 12-roll of TP on sle definitely than not. Just make sure its not single-ply!!
Sprinkle on cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, put in fruit salad nm

LOL i just had cereal (puffed rice) as my late night snack
those ramen noodles weren't so filling :) or i guess im bored, with no work, and want to eat.
I eat regular cheerios every morning for breakfast! :)
I was also on clonazepam (generic) and
I was on it for nearly 10 years. Initially it was given to stop muscle cramps and spasms from my kidney disease. I was only on 0.5 mg a day for all those years. I stopped taking it cold turkey not knowing it was a drug you could become addicted to. I experienced agitation, neuropathy, hypersensitivity and it lasted roughly a week and a half. It was bad! When I next talked to my Doctor, he about freaked. He told me that drug is NEVER cold-turkeyed, but one must wean from it, because quitting it could cause seizures and other side effects up to and including death. I'm glad I'm off it though.
Just be aware that no matter how small the dose, when you stop it, WEAN!
A Little Sexy which is the generic for Red
Whenever I wear it I get complements too.

 This casserole IS fabulous - my daughter made it last year, and hopefully will make it again this time!
Second-hand and generic items
I am shopping for second-hand items at resale shops and buying only sale and generic items at the grocery store. I don't drive as much or as far as I used to to shop. I am working more hours, although for less pay as an MT.
I think the the crooks (politicians) who put the American public in this position should be prosecuted.
Zyrtec...generic..is good, sm
I also use Benadryl severe allergy and sinus (if you get the one w/o the sinus part listed it doesn't do much). Try saline nasal spray too, but don't use something like Afrin for more than 3 days in a row 'cuz your nose can get hooked on it.
I had sinus surgery about 10 years ago and my sinuses are even worse now. They're somewhat better now since I'm away from the humidity of FL, but still horrible. I also use Nasonex RX 'cuz that's the only one w/o a nasty aftertaste.
Generic Zyrtec is good.
Take it at night cause it'll make you sleepy.
Maybe as soon as you wake up, you can take some Benadryl (or generic), that helps me. nm

I just thought of a great generic gift
for secret Santas and/or acquaintences. It's not very personal... My daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas and there's really nothing I want besides winning the lotto, so I thought of the last thing I wanted to buy at the store, but didn't because I'd already reached my budget... okay this is very not sexy lol... I'm slowly replacing all my regular light bulbs with the those new energy-efficient fancy expensive things, So I told her to buy me a couple. An inexpensive, useful gift, that sends a Green message! Being a messenger of Green, I thought I might pass the suggestion to all of ya'll who need an impersonal but useful gift for someone. hoho ;-)
read somewhere generic is not as effective as brand name
no msg
Oh for crying in the corn
I've put in zillions of urinary catheters in males. I've cleaned behind foreskins. I've "dug" people out when they've had more problems than milk of magnesia can handle. (I'm a nurse turned transcriptionist.) That's totally more intimate than dancing with someone. I have never cheated on my husband even with those experiences. LOL
If these people cheat, it's not the dancing's problem, it's the person's problem.
I do not care for this show one bit, so I'm not defending it at all. I just think this argument is not terribly valid.
corn vs grass
Out west the prairie is a mess because the buffalo are missing. If you go to any ranch that is properly managed using grazing cattle there are flowers and prairie grasses everywhere, any land that is mismanaged looks awful. The prairie and the cattle were made for each other but are separated now because of feed lots. The cattle cannot be slaughtered past the age of two because of the endless list of diseases they succumb to. Also, if they only eat grain, the grain will kill them. So a little bit of corn at finishing may make them more valuable to the consumer, but it also increases the price to the consumer, compromises the health of the animal and the land. Letting them make food out of grass, rather than feeding them our food to make them marbled or juicy is controversial to me.
I just paid $4.50 for a gallon of generic brand in Wyoming, nm

Cook rice according to package directions. Mix with all other ingredients. Pour into small casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
very, very tasty
OMG, fried cream corn?!!??
That stuff sounds like it should be from the "Coronary Cookbook."
Corn starch isn't really recommended
for yeast because it can actually feed yeast.
My DH uses Corn Husker's Lotion. NM

I always thought Destiny's Child was generic, girl singers.

Save your money - just buy generic Benadryl (same ingredient) unless you have pain.
nm
Talc and corn starch are not the same thing...

last year homemade carmel corn,
this year pumpkin mini-muffins with candy corn on top...
Try Benadryl, the generic is cheap. Works great, not habit-forming. NM

Rub some baking soda or corn starch into him well and brush out? nm

Do you have a corn maze to go thru nearby? Some are huge AND pricey! nm

Frito corn chips in the bottom of a bowl, chili
on that with your choice of toppings - we usually put shredded cheese and onions on top. The local BBQ joint makes it with corn chips, shredded pulled pork, bbq sauce and bbq beans - SOOOO good!!
Eye round roast, potatos, yams, corn, and string beans.
Taking advantage of the cool weather and using the oven.
One time our neighbor's kids fed our German shepherd candy corn while she was out on her run.
I was out in the driveway washing our car at the time, and I saw them playing with her, but then saw what they were feeding her. She then came inside and threw up yellow and orange all over our beige carpet. Thankfully we own a really good carpet steam cleaner!
Milk around here has been
x
perhaps it is residual milk, since she was still--sm
lactating when the kittens were taken away. Perhaps call the vet to see if and what can be done to relieve this.
Maybe I should send milk
I can't believe the milk prices elsewhere. Anyone want NY milk. LOL.
Why are we okay with animal milk?
Funny how we think it is "normal" to drink the milk of an animal, don't you think?
Honestly, I would much rather find an animal hair in my food than a human hair though. :) I even get grossed out when it is my own hair!!
can milk be frozen?
and still be good to drink?
Milk around here is $2.50 a gallon
and it takes 1 gallon to make a nice chunk of mozzarella. It takes 3 gallons to make the harder cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack. I want a good "biting" sharp cheese.
I'm sure if I look around here, I could find cheaper milk. I just haven't tried yet. Years ago, I could buy raw milk from a local farmer, but I don't think there are any dairy farmers around here anymore. I know of 1 in another county but he's 20 miles away "over the mountain". It's too dangerous to go there in the winter.
