You can toss all the sauces for spaghetti on top of spaghetti squash, too. Love it! nm

OMG that is so true. I love their rhubarb wine. I known it sounds
The Amanas rocks.
I am a smoker! I agree with the alcohol. I use rubbing alcohol every day on my equipment. sm
I smoke, bad habit I know, but I can't stand the smell either.
Almost Gobbler Day. Who is cooking and who is going out to dinner? Myself cooking. (sm)
We usually have everyone bring a dish of some sorts. Large family, probably about 30 plus. Set up 3 extra tables in the garage for smokers and cardplayers and have a great day stuffing ourselves.
Looking for different side dishes, suggestions anyone?
What's up with the alcohol?
What's up with the parents thinking it is okay for their kids to not only drink, but get plain drunk? I see this everywhere I look--scary. My neighbor's son just turned 17 and is smoking and drinking and his mom is like, oh well. The other night as he was leaving with some friends she yelled, make sure you get a DD (designated driver). Now isn't she a responsible mom? Crazy if you ask me. She'll be the one crying when something happens. Hmph.
But you might want to have some alcohol
to wash out some of the toxins from the coffee and diet soda! Red wine has flavinoids, which are an antioxidant! LOL!
alcohol was illegal once too
Alcohol was illegal at one time too..Marijuana should be legalized, there is no reason not to legalize it. It will be legalized one day soon, Im sure. It is less harmful than alcohol.
Because, as a Christian, alcohol was not an
option for me. 
50/50 alcohol/vinegar
Works for me!
LOL There is alcohol involved in that
message. Lucky girl.
rubbing alcohol.......inside and out...nm
oh ok - and legalized alcohol drinking....N/M

Milk, Cream and Alcohol...
Oh, that's too funny with the doc prescribing a cycle of beer! There's an old blues song with the lyrics "Your doctor put you on milk, cream and alcohol." Maybe it's the same doc!
wine
I'm not a Transcriptionist yet (still a student, but OLD hehe), my feelings are there's nothing wrong with the occasional glass of wine. I'd drink it, but I haven't found a wine I like enough for a 2nd glass. I occasionally have a bit stiffer drink, but once I start working I won't drink 'my' drinks, since they not only relax me, they send to to sleepy-land. I know several professionals (in other fields) that have a glass of wine when dictating, making notes, preparing briefs, etc. Its not unheard of. My feeling is, as long as the limitations are noted and observed what's the harm? IF it affects your work, time to knock it off.
Hopefully, we're all adults and able to make reasonable judgments on this subject.
(did I sound nice enough? that was my goal!! LOL)
WINE
I agree that we shouldn't judge others. Sometimes I need a drink while working, but unfortunately I would fall asleep with one small glass of wine. I do however know an MT who drinks a lot while working.....I mean a lot...(she has a problem sadly), but the fact remains that even then she is a better MT than most I know. So I guess everybody's different. Wine is good for the nerves and the STESS LEVEL....
Well, since he does most of the cooking..
Maybe let him make their dinner and you make yours! That's what I would do. I would not give up my meals for two spoiled rotten kids ;)
Windex or rubbing alcohol on glass :)
I use an alcohol prep pad to clean the dirt off &
the corner of the packet it comes in I slide between the keys all around and I get these big dust bunnies that I just pull out with my fingers. I also turn it upside down and shake it once in a while too.
clean the heads with an alcohol prep, if
you have one, or take out the ink jet cartridge and using a gentle wrist motion, turn it up and down a few times and replace.
are you having wine with dinner?
just curious but your posts are not making much sense. not that there's anything wrong with wine with dinner, it's just maybe not so wise to post on MT boards when you are so "relaxed".
cooking in crock pot right now
Either beef stew meat OR a chuck, whatever. One can cream of celery, one can cream of mushroom and one can french onion. Don't have do do a thing. Delicious
Beef in Wine
Brown roast.
In separate pot cook two onions, two cloves garlic, two stalks celery,chopped, two carrots, in butter until soft. Add to meat. Mix 2 cups of tomato puree and 2 cups red wine. Add a tablespoon of salt, 10 whole peppercorns, 2 bay leaves. Cook on top of stove until tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Do the day before. The next day clean up the meat and slice it. Serve over noodles. It is delicious.
Glass of wine
I did not mean to start a war. I know the difference between a glass of wine and a "problem with drinking" as my father was an alcoholic as well as ex-husband. And just to let you know the open bottle that I opened Sunday evening for my glass is still in the wine case/holder with one glass missing. I will probably have to throw it out as I usually have one glass and forget that it is there to finish it. Would not make a good alcoholic as I forget to continue to drink -- just my one beer or one glass of wine every couple of weeks. Also, I usually wait until I am very near completion of my work before I "pop" the cork. But again, did not mean to start a war.
Glass of wine
Patti, unfortunately on this board lately, anything can start a war.
Like you, I sometimes start sipping a glass the last 30-60 mins. of my shift - about once a month. Ignore the hostile postings - some of these people read 2 words, take it out of context, and post in response to things that weren't even said.
Personally, I'm glad you posted because I felt a little guilty about sipping an ounce or 2 while working - I grew up in an alcohol-free home, but I certainly saw what alcoholism did to some of my friends' families.
I'm cooking. Daughter and son-in-law,
son, husband and myself will be spending Thanksgiving together (after my son and I get off work).
Yes, and I'm the one cooking the turkey
Don't think my guests would appreciate a "tofu turkey". I will do the whole traditional meal and those who choose not to eat the turkey will still have plenty.
How do you get rid of cooking smells?
I've about had it with cooking any beef or pork at all. Even cooking with hot oil.
I cannot get the lingering odors out. I wash the pots and pans, put up the leftovers immediately, clean the stove and all surfaces but it just lingers.
Does anyone have a solution?
cover with thiamine and (s/l) serafellon for alcohol abuse
Got no help on word board. Running out of time.
Thanks in advance
Once a week, I clean my headset ears with alcohol.
Then swab out my ears after showering with Q-tips with alcohol on them. Keeps the itching down to nothing, and the ear wax doesn't build up that way, either.
Similar problem-rubbing alcohol mark..nm/TIA!
Ever try cooking a meal in someone else's kitchen? sm
You know how to cook, but have a tough time finding where everything is kept in that kitchen so it takes a while longer. You could cook the same thing in your own familiar kitchen in half the time. This goes for MT, too. It takes a long time, even for those of us who have been transcribing half our lives, to get used to new formats, new work type codes, new voices, and learning idiosyncrasies for each and every dictator. It takes time--a few months or more. Be patient, and the line counts will surely add up as you become more familiar with the account.
Add cheeseburgers and wine to the menu! nm

son cooking steak and shrimp
what a treat. Someone else cooking for a change.
Make my own. Cooking's a hobby.
I'd almost like to be a caterer or chef, but I don't like working evenings or weekends. LOL
A glass of wine with typing
A while back there were several messages when someone made a halfway joke about drinking and I never answered but I do have to admit that when I sometimes have to work on Sunday nights or some late evenings I do sip on a glass of wine while typing, not an entire bottle but a glass of wine. Just thought I would not comment on it as several people were shocked that anyone would even consider it. Not all the time but occasionally and in moderation.
That is my Sunday comment.
If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
MIL is cooking it- IN- I did it for the first time last year, also IN-

Well, I messed that up, meant to say DH is cooking

No bible? No wine? Wait......
I, for one, choose death!
We're cooking out today....sm
went to the zoo yesterday and did yard chores.
LOL! Possibly my husband's cooking?
You should see some of my personal medical reports other people have transcribed. Jeesh, can I sue as a patient for such poorly transcribed reports? Thanks for the laugh...
Absolutely no alcohol. Coffee, water or diet soda.

I keep alcohol pads at my desk to clean the sponges on the earphones.
That takes away the itching and keeps the bacteria away!!
Meat cooking is harder, IMHO
Remebering my childhood as an animal eater, I think it is harder cooking for meat eaters and way more expensive than vegetarian foods.
Take turns w/ menu (and cooking and cleaning..)
I grew up in a house w/ a six-pack of kids and if you didn't like what was for dinner, too #$$# bad, will give it to your brother lol.
What are you cooking for 4th of July? Recipes encouraged please!

sean connary, chocolate, white wine
that would be perfect.
Don't be afraid of it. It's really hard to mess up Oriental cooking.
Here are the links to the recipes that I printed off of Google. (I love the Internet! No more cookbooks, only Google for recipes.) I cheated on the plum sauce by buying a jar because our plums aren't quite ripe yet. Buy the egg roll skins instead of trying to make your own, too.

For the fried rice, you can use any type of rice. I use brown basmati or jasmine rice mostly. You can also throw in extra vegetables and leftover meats (pork, beef, chicken) to make a meal out of it instead of a side dish. I like those Oriental pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage.

I'm going to combine and modify the eggroll recipes so I have shrimp/pork egg rolls. I use canola oil instead of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil. I don't care for sesame seeds or bamboo sprouts, so I add extra water chestnuts. Use frozen or fresh instead of canned crab or shrimp. Use diced, boneless pork chops instead of ground pork or sausage.
