So OOC, what's too hot for you? ***** Ground turkey "on sale" for $4.99/lb? Used to be decent sale price was $1.67/lb. Flap meat "on sale" for $7.99/lb? Used to be $4.99/lb. Best I can do this week is beef chuck for $4.99/lb and ground turkey for $4.99/lb, and that's already above myold price point of $4/lb for lean, trimmed meat. Once upon a time I had a meat grinder, until the main gear snapped. I could buy my beef and grind it at home. The grinder cost $120. Now the equivalent costs $300+. Inflation! ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE someone poor - William Blake

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: It says something about how neat you've kept your yard, and how your neighbors have gotten used to seeing you improving your home and helping them out by cleaning out the street gutters etc, that they notice when you don't, and they care enough to want to do something about it. I guess you're more popular with them than you realized, SIX.
Quote:I wonder if they would ever organize a neighborhood cookout? Our neighborhood ... well, a few neighbors, anyway ... used to do that once in a while. Maybe you should exchange phone numbers? I have the phone numbers of all of my immediate neighbors, and the phone numbers of several of my distant-sister's neighbors. That way, if I can't raise her by text or phone they can check in on her. It's kind of a safety feature. They look out for each other and I try to look out for her.
Quote:Yeah, pro landscapers do a fast job but they still charge an arm+leg for it. The company charges ...oh, I dunno ... $50-60/hr (judging by LA $) but the crew gets paid $15.
Quote:***** I made roast tri tip, roast potato and (garden) zucchini and (garden) pickled beets last night and, oh my, did the beef come out great again! So NEXT time, I'm just going to roast a whole big tri tip and I won't have to be so exacting about how much roast beef I dish out, and we can have roast beef sandwiches or maybe hash the next day. For some stupid reason, I just never oven-rosted chicken or beef before. I mean, literally never, for the 40+ years I've been the family cook. Pork and turkey and vegetables? Yep! But I was used to spit-grilled chicken and beef on the grill and I don't have a grill. My first foray was standing rib-eye roast last Xmas which was exceptional but also very expensive and not to be repeated too often! I think if I hadn't tried to roast a tri tip in prep for a stuffed mushroom-flavored hash, I wouldn't have discovered roast beef for years, which led me to oven-roast a chicken as well. So now I have a repertoire of roasts that are easy to make as long as the weather isn't too hot. And roast trip tip is definitely going on the menu! Y'all are welcome to come for dinner!

The sad thing is, I've been too tired to make good use of the moderate weather! ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE someone poor - William Blake Don't be TOO hard on yourself. You know you're trying. And besides... unlike me and Brenda, you don't have 4 to 6 months where it's so cold that everything is dead outside. I pulled weeds for another 6 hours yesterday and finally got everything clean and then mowed the back yard. Trash pickup was on Thursday and I already have two huge cans nearly full of weeds and grass again, with just enough room for a bag or two of trash leftover. So... 4 huge cans of lawn/weed debris in 4 days this week. Wowzers... Going to clean up inside my house and get it perfect today. I *think* my aunt and grandma are coming over tomorrow. It's not going to be cool, but it won't be unbearably hot either and I haven't' had them over since the end of April. I've got a LOT to show off since the last time they were here. Depending on how busy I am next week, I might see if my old man wants to come over before the perfect yard gets un-perfect again. He still hasn't seen my finished shelves or all the new electric in the garage or the pantry drawers. -------------------------------------------------- Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus

And then when I was agitating to get the bins I got a funny look and the comment "You DO know that today's Saturday not Sunday, right?" Also getting a bunch of stuff ready for donation. Baby steps towards decluttering but steps forward nonetheless. Plus, I found something that hubby has been harping about fir months now. So, there's that! Well, at least I'm a day ahead of schedule!

Showers can really cool people down. When we have heat emergencies one of the things they NEVER recommend is taking a shower and/or putting on a damp Tshirt. I don't know why not because that really works for me. Maybe if you take a shower before bed and direct a fan at your bed you'll sleep better? ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE someone poor - William Blake

I'm glad to have some "found time" bc I really want to get things squared away. Also, now the house not only is considerably cleaner since I went on a vacuuming binge, it looks a lot tidier. even more when the donation items go out.
Quote:Hey, another thought SIX: You seem to be good with wood. Have you ever thought pf furnitur repair? Not particle board and plywood furniture bc it can't be repaired anyway, but say somebody has a nice piece of wooden furniture they want to get fixed....
