Was browsing through my news feed and heard about a dozen kids in a Texas high school football team ending up in the hospital... because of too many pushups. As in 400 FREAKING PUSHUPS!!! Teenagers. Takes a helluva lot of energy to do 10 GOOD pushups, and this coach wants teens--still growing teens--to do something … Continue reading Okay… sometimes you have a weird week, and then read something so stupidly beyond words you just can’t.
This is something that hit me the other night and I started working on it yesterday afternoon (would've done it earlier except tired and getting over a chest cold). But of course, my odd desire to color-code the hell out of everything might actually come in handy in a most unexpected way. I don't remember … Continue reading Finding a way to tackle reducing food costs and better organizing at the same time
I'm behind on upgrades. Like REALLY, REALLY, RIDICULOUSLY behind. I ask because I can FINALLY afford an upgrade (not gonna pay hundreds for a yearly activation code like with Office 365--passed that one right up). So, I have a Windows computer and it's amazing enough that even though I'm on Windows 10 Home (I always … Continue reading Q#187: For those in the software know, how can I make sure I don’t screw things up if I upgrade to Office 2021 Professional?
It's funny how some things come out of the ether. You don't think about them--at least, not consciously. You don't see them. But then one day you feel a bit lighter and realize something happened to you, like you stumbled on some semblance of enlightenment. I didn't read a book about any of it--yet--and I … Continue reading On the raggedy edge… or, rather, I thought I would be by now, trying to make changes for a successful 2023.
I got to thinking about this when making my ham earlier (T-Day's gonna stretch over the weekend because I just got over a sinus infection and finally got my taste buds back... and I'm experimenting with half a dozen recipes, so not much time for other stuff this week). I am so glad I got … Continue reading Q#186: If Halloween was the kind of holiday where you gathered for dinner–and kept the spooky theme going–what (actually edible) items could/should be on the menu (other than candy)?
This is one that's bugged me for a while, but I forgot about til tonight when I went to make me a cup of hot cocoa (been getting over a sinus infection and needed something OTHER than tea for a bit of a sweet, slightly caffeinated pick-me-up). I always remembered getting Swiss Miss growing up … Continue reading Blitz Q#185–Why do freeze-dried marshmallows melt better in hot chocolate than regular ones?
I managed to somehow get far too much produce the past week and am trying to use up what I can before it goes bad (at least I cleared out some space in my freezer so I can chop up and freeze the pounds of strawberries--whew!). Lost a few nectarines and about to lose some … Continue reading Learned a tough lesson with homemade desserts (even with lots of fruit)… they’re a no-go unless I make drastic changes or find the right recipe…
Yeah, my idea wasn't NEARLY as good looking as that picture... though that looks yummy. Well, guess I shouldn't be surprised as to how I was going to do it. What else would a fat girl who is kinda-sorta-afraid-to-try-new-ingredients do when confronted with something they've never used before, and aren't sure they'll like? Mix it … Continue reading Knew I had to eat something in spite of my stomach… figured “what the hell” & gave Shirataki Noodles their first shot…
I lucked out in getting a week off of work (basically had to beg for it, but too many yard repairs and I needed some good weather to pull it off) and have spent much of the time outside. Because I overdid it yesterday and wanted to make sure the scratches I got from those … Continue reading To quit or not to quit: my own sunk-cost fallacy dilemma over games and communication issues…
I was browsing for staples online for my pantries (since I finally have some slightly disposable income, I felt it was a good time to stock up) and adjusting my renewed subscription to Thrive Market (love their organic stuff, it brings out my experimental side). I don't know how, but somehow I saw an ad … Continue reading Q #184–Has anybody ever done the home delivery of “ugly” fruits and veggies thing, and how was it?
