haddock fillet fried in butter, Rice-a-roni, green peas
we make more than we can consume so he can bring the leftover for his dinner the next day.
Forget all that mushroom soup stuff. Add carrots, celery, dry onion soup mix, a touch of tomato past
Add flour to mixture when roast is finished for gravy. Home made mashed potatoes and green beans with almonds and a salad. Yum.
Left over from wienie roast cheesy potato soup, french onion soup and squished sandwiches.

Whoops...I forgot - cranberry sauce, too. My husband would kill me if I forgot the cranberry sauce!
lice - it is okay
I haven been through this twice with my daughter. I caught it from her and both of us have long hair. Make sure that you also spray the bare mattress after you remove the sheets wtih sprays that are designed to kill the eggs. Any stuff animals that maybe in the children's room put in black plastic garbage bags and leave in there for a couple of weeks and this will kill any possible infestation there. After you treat, even though you do not see any eggs or live live in the hair, you need to do 2 more subsequent treatments just to make sure.
This should make you feel a little better - lice is not an infestation that "dirty" people get. Lice cannot live in hair that is not well groomed, they cannot live in the oils and such. The "host" has to have good hygiene. That little bit of info got me throught it twice. Just take a deep breath and relax, takes the steps and I promise it will go away.
head lice
I have a question for all you moms out there. My husband called me from work and said that the day care called his secretary and told her to pick up her daughter because she had head lice. My son attends the same day care but is in a different group because he is older that his child with the head lice. I told the day care to call me if even one in my son's group has lice and I will pick him up right away. What would you all do? I send him to day care because if he is home he and his 12-year-old brother fight all day and I don't get anything done. He is five. Should I just go get him and not chance it? Any advice appreciated.
head lice
There was an extensive breakout in my child's school at one time. All the kids had it. I would just go get some Nix and treat him now. When my son got them I did not know you could not see the things. The only way I was able to tell was to hold a sheet of white paper and comb his hair catching it on the paper, they look like little specks of pepper, but if you watch closely they change shapes (move). I would not be too horrified, it is bound to happen in day care.
head lice
I have a Robi-comb that I use every time I think there's a chance my girls may have gotten around lice. It's made by EpiLady. It's basically a bug zapper for the hair. You run it through their hair and it zaps all live bugs. It doesn't hurt the child unless you happen to touch one side to their ear and the other to their head. I've done that! It feels kind of like static electricity. But it's deadly to lice. It will kill them instantly. But keep in mind this only kills the live bugs. It doesn't do a thing for the nits. After I check for live bugs I always check for nits - especially at the base of the neck and behind the ears.
head lice
Also remember that the nits can take up to 2 weeks to hatch. So keep checking!! They start out tight on the head - usually dark brown. Then after they hatch they turn white.
I've been through lice two times. Been there, done that, don't EVER want to go there again!!!
Good luck!!!
Head lice
It has been 15 years since I had to deal with that but still remember it vividly. Throw all your combs and brushes out and replace. Give everyone their own. There is also a wide comb that comes with the treatment. If you comb your hair you will see lice on the comb if you have any. Wash all your bed linens even pillows. Put all stuff animals in a garbage bag closed for 10 days that will kill the lice. If you wear hats wash them. Also I had to spray my car cushions with a treatment that on the market at that time. Also your couch cushions etc. You never think you can get rid of them but you will. At the time my daughter had them her whole dance class had them. I think she probably got them when the kids put their belongings in the cubby holes or top of others coats because her regular class did not. Hope this helps.
Lice is a pain in the rear (and head) sm
My kids have had it before and what a tedious job it is to get rid of and make sure it stays away. Daily vacuuming of furniture, beds, etc. I took any and all stuffed animals and just stuck them in garbage bags for a month (they say 2 weeks, but I like to be safe). I looked for nits every day (brings new term to nit picking). I also used vinegar with the combing as it seemed to loosen up any remaining nits.
The dirty hair theory appears to be true, so I started using hair gel on my kids' heads, but we also have moved in the meantime, and they haven't had it since. The school district where we were seemed to have a huge outbreak at least twice a year.
lice...old fashion remedy works best...been there
this was an ongoing problem year after year after year. With long hair being the normal thing, was a pain. AND after spending a small fortune on the over-the-counter lice crap that NEVER worked and we seemed to have them again and again...one egg can start it all again...I went for my grandmothers solution.
SIMPLE...GOOD, CHEAP OLD FASHIONED KEROSENE.
Not fancy...smells horrible, BUT did the trick.
You will have to use a very VERY gentle shampoo after soaking the head but once I did this, it was literally the end of them. No re-infestations...no repeat soakings...one time...shampooed with baby shampoo about 3 times and next day deep conditioned for dryness. Her hair and mine was fine.
just my 2 cents
soup
First of all, had 2 huge chickens for din din last night... So I cut away all left over chicken. Huge pot of water and add salt and pepper and chop an onion. Let simmer for at least 45 minutes. Homemade noodles are a tad difficult to explain but "Reames", which I use in a pinch, has excellent home made noodles in the frozen food section of most grocery stores. Boil on the side until somewhat firm as you have to add for the last 45 minutes to soup. I add 3/4 teaspoon of chicken soup base to the huge pot and let simmer another 35 minutes. Add fresh or frozen carrots, peas, potatoes etc.(whatever your family wishes) and after noodles done toss in the huge pot and simmer for another 35 - 40 minutes. Totally awesome and never any leftovers here. Hope it works.

My kids brought lice home from day camp....sm
or brought it to day camp. One way or the other, this stinks.
Other than the usual shampoo; comb with a good metal nit comb; clean, spray, bug, and/or bag everything in the house, any other suggestions? I even bought a steam cleaner for the furniture and rugs.
I'm getting dirty looks at work. The kids want to go back to camp, but I'm worried about what the other kids are going to do/say. I'm keeping them home until next week. Need advice reassurance from mom who have been here.
When school opens again here, lice is rampant for the first 2 weeks. Ick...nm

homemade soup
I keep the best leftovers in the deep freeze to make soup. Tonight's soup has veggies, including lima beans, a wonderful chicken stock, and some diced up london broil and potatoes cut very fine to thicken the soup. All these leftovers in the soup bring back memories of meals gone by!  I just throw it all in the crockpot and let it do its thing.
Does this mean I get in the soup line or
will there be MTing to do, as in VR with editing, or is transcription going to be a thing of the past, anyone know?
Bringing the head lice post back up. This has been going around at my daughter's school.
Saturday, after having been checking her head all week, found lice on her head. Did the treatment on her, on me, DH and other daughter, just in case. Only youngest and myself apparently had them. Got rid of the lice, now need to deal with the eggs. No problem with daughter's head because I am meticulous and have been checking daily and removing anything I find. My problem is my own head. Oldest daughter tried to look through, but she had hard time, though she tried. Husband "I don't see anything", so not much help. I can't look at my own head, so my dilema is how do I get the eggs off my own head and keep them from rehatching? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Never gone throught his before.
Sauce to Go??
Would be happy to send you some. Did find something in the store the other day that might be of interest Kool-Aid invisible. It has no dyes in it so it's clear. They had 2 flavors in our store. Don't give my daughter the stuff on a regular basis but since you brought it up.
So you crochet too?? I'm old enough to be a grandma but got a late start...
hey, lay off the sauce, bub.
Just joshing you, Ash.
just made stupdendous pea soup in crockpot...(nm)

Homemade chicken noodle soup
with huge homemade noodles and tons of chicken and veggies. Sides of fresh baked hoagies or chicken wings, basted in "Quaker Steak and Lube" hot and BBQ sauce. Family very very happy and it is cold here.
Using BBQ sauce can be tasty. nm

Tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwich.
Nothing grilled, it gives me a bellyache, just plain toast and cheese stuck together My son will have his favorite, fried liver and onions, my daughter will have cinnamon oatmeal, husband will have half a grapefruit, oatmeal, 2 eggs, and toast. I run a short order house in the morning, but at least everyone eats something good for them before they leave the house, so I don't mind at all. And I won't be surprised if a few neighborhood kids stop in for my soup and sandwich or the oatmeal. The only rule is that they have to put their own dishes in the dishwasher, not leave them for me to clean up.
homemade potato soup, cornbread, and just finished
Ah, reminds me of a friend who said, "I'll be all over you like cheese soup!"

I'll pay shipping for some of that sauce! :)
I don't know how you find the time. Of course, then again, I've been back and forth on here when I should be finishing crocheting my new grandson's baby blanket.
Little guy had to arrive a month early when I only had 5 rows done. If I had done 5 more rows, we could wrap the munchkin up in it now. :)

Some jar sauce is as good as homemade...
I make my own sauce usually, but when I'm not in the mood there are some that surprisingly are just as good as homemade. They are the more expensive ones, Rao's, Victoria, Patsy's, Vincent's. Jar sauce has come a long way! But the less expensive like Prego, Ragu, and even Classico etc., I find are just too sweet. Easy recipe..A couple of jars of Victoria or other better-brand Fra Diavolo sauce. Cook on stove in medium pot on medium heat until hot but not boiling. Throw in a bunch of medium or large size RAW peeled shrimp with tails removed! (I often use the raw frozen in the bag - thawed) and continue cooking/stirring until shrimp turns orange and appears done. Spoon over pasta and top with S&P if you like and lots of grated romano/parmesan cheese. Squisito!
Onion soup mix, 1/2 cup Madiera wine, carrots, potatoes.
Cook roast slowly (325 for about 3 hours, add the potatoes and carrots, cook another hour, and serve.
Or just slice onions on top the roast, add about 1/2 cup water, put in covered dutch oven, cook same as above, adding potatoes and carrots.
fried
so what happens if we all go back to MTs, then they lose all the ME. I think we should all rebel and tell them to take us off

Where do you get the jasmin rice ?
I have looked around here in specialty stores and can't find it. I LOVE jasmin rice.
Red beans and rice.
Husband's fave, not mine. Smelly.
Condoleeza Rice
African American, female, educated, no scandals. Prime example of what education can do. I like what Oprah does for other countries, but Oprah loves attention and she's first in line to say "look what I did."
I wish Colin Powell would run for President. I'd vote for him.
