Hi Memaw- you know, it's not as hard to cook for a veggie as you might think, unless

she is particularly fussy. There are so many good vegetarian cookbooks that any creative vegetable side dish could be made into a mean main dish for a vegetarian.

I was a veggie for many years
here's one, guacamole, salsa, and chips.
Here's one veggie family, complete
with grandkids now. All 8 of us. I have a Tofurkey and also an Unturkey in the freezer for Thanksgiving. Also, my pet turkey Bubba just died last week of natural causes, he weighed about 50 pounds. His wife, Bubette, is still alive and well. I always gave them extra treats on Thansgiving.
veggie too--can't stand killing of any sort--sm
too much of it is *accepted* these days, and it is just the thing that has put this world into the position it is in today. It just seems that if someone does not like something...kill it. I don't care if it is a third world country or not, they know right from wrong in their hearts, no matter what *religion* or *tradition* they have been taught. Lord, where are you now??? JMO
Smothered steak, egg noodles, veggie, salad.

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, milk gravy, veggie. nm

If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.

So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm

Don't worry about it. I used to cook like that, too.
I'd be so tired from working all the time that it was Hamburger Helper, fish sticks, or chicken nuggets. Our grocery bill used to be cheap, too. Hubby and I trade off cooking now. Honestly, we're trying to eat healthier to lose weight. It's a "hobby" that has helped bring us together more in our marriage. We find new recipes on the Internet all the time. Gotta have variety somewhere.... LOL
I love to cook but
it isn't a lot of fun cooking for just 2. We eat out a lot and more and more places are offering carry out, such as Applebee's. Also check out your meat counter at the grocery. They have more and more stuff already prepared so all you have to do is heat it up. Like get a meat loaf, some already prepared mashed 'taters, open a can of green beans or whatever and have some already prepared salad and presto, you have a "home cooked" meal. Well, maybe not exactly home cooked but as good as most restaurant food and a lot cheaper. We also like hamburger and tuna helpers. shhhhh don't tell my grown up kids that.
Whatever DH decides to cook here.

You have time to cook?
Not me. I work full time and have two small kids at home all day so it is impossible. I wish I had time to cook though. I just stock my freezer with frozen foods, and on some days my DH will pick up something on his way home from work.
What else do you like to cook in your crockpot?
I love a roast in the crockpot but what else is really good?
Dairy is the best, but I'm not a cook, so
I'm not sure if sour cream or plain yogurt would work in a soup. Another idea would be to sweeten it. You could experiment with small bowls of it. If it were too salty, it would be potatoes that would help.

Oh my ... you have it rough. I don't think I even know how to cook without onions! sm
For my meatloaf, I use salsa too, plus hamburger, hot Jimmy Dean sausage, breadcrumbs, & egg. Heck, this is making me hungry for meatloaf now! :-)
My kinda cook! I can sure relate! nm

Dinner tonight? For me, it's grilled mahi-mahi, fruit/veggie salsa, brown rice and broccoli.

Does anyone eat out a lot. I don't like to cook but am bored with the same old fast food.
Got any places not too expensive where I can get food to go. To go is the key. Bored with McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, delivery pizza. (Boston Market?)
Thanks.
I cook mine low - about 225 or 250, for about 10 minutes per pound

Next time cook it in the oven wrapped in foil. sm
This recipe is from pre-crockpot era.
Double wrap the roast in foil. Poke holes in the foil with a fork and put the roast with the poked holes side down on the broiler pan. Bake at 350 according to the size of the roast per pound. Very yummy and very easy. Pan drippings make the best gravy.
My husband feels the same way. Fortunately I'm a good cook but sometimes I need to get away from
have to cook chicken for my BF...the 20-cloves of garlic, is that from Rachel Ray?
Wait, I think it was from the barefoot contessa show, I saw her do that but not in a crockpot.
(We are looking for a place to buy chickens locally as I still believe no animal has to suffer for me, smile!)
Just because I am lazy, is that recipe already posted here, can I do a search to find it?
Thank you everyone!
No, my turkey is still in my freezer. I refused to cook this year.
I'm either going to cook it at Christmastime or slap some Cajun sauce on it and BBQ when the 18" of snow melts.
I'm so not a good cook and read the recipe below regarding briskets. May I ask what exactly is

It costs approximately $275 a month. I do have family to cook for, but
that has not been a problem at all. After the first 3 days, I have been fully satisfied on the program, and I am one who has NEVER been able to diet for more than a day or 2. I cook whatever they want which is mostly what I can eat too for my lean and green; beef/chicken/pork/fish and veggies, but I skip the potatoes, bread, and all starchy foods.
To afford the program, I cut way back on buying junk food and soda. Everyone is eating much healthier around here and neither my family nor me feel in the least deprived.
All I can really tell you is it is working for me like nothing has in the past and it's been worth every penny.
I read that, too. I love to cook, too, but I wouldn't want to be a chef or caterer.
Working mostly evenings and complaining patrons. I don't know. There's this little yuppie deli downtown that I would love to open one very similar to. But would I want to do it everyday? Then again, I like gardening and canning. I could be a farmer and sell organic vegetables. Or I could sell homemade canned foods, but there's so much regulation there and worry about botulism. I also like writing. My true dream is to be a paid and published writer. I don't care about fame or fortune, just enough to be able to work a flexible schedule and support my family. My family says it's a pipe dream that everyone wants but few people get.
I thought there was one to cook in crockpot. Don't have time to do the stove thing today but than

Daughter is vegetarian. I cook a turkey and she hits the side dishes. (sm)
We do pretty well with this. I just make sure I have some of her favorites so she still feels like she is having a feast.
I saw a picture someone made of a "turkey" they had formed out of raw veggies. I think the basic form was one of those rounded shaped loaves of bread and the veggies were on toothpicks. the head and some tail feathers were made from construction paper. It seemed like an entertaining idea especially if you had small children around.

What temperature do you normally cook your fish at. I find sometimes that in the oven the fish seems
to have a lot of or water coming out and it doesnt get done nicely. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
It is hard but only at first...
I have 2 children and did it with both of them. I am also a nurse but after trying part-time out of the house work combined with MT-ing to stay home with kids as much as possible, I ended up strictly at home 2 years ago.
It's not the easiest when the children are infants - but it's worth it once you get past that phase. I actually used to type with my daughter breastfeeding in my lap! I had some crazy, crazy days and nights. Don't expect to get 3-4 hours straight - be ready to get an hour or 2 when you can throughout the day. It can be frustrating, but once they reach a certain age and are sleeping well you can work at night and during naps. (My kids did not take to naps too well, so the night was my time.)
Now my kids are 8-1/2 and 4-1/2 and it's wonderful. I'm finally past the crazy hours and grabbing an hour whenever I can - never at the same time. (I am fortunate to work for a company that does not require set hours.) I type while they are at school and then on occasion after they go to bed at night. I volunteer at their schools once a week, coach my daughter's cheerleading team, and am baseball, soccer and football mom. I had an RN office job part-time about 2 years ago that I loved, but I just couldn't take not being able to be there for their school activities, after-school stuff, etc. Nothing beats the flexibility of MT-ing.
Good luck. There will be smooth days and not so smooth ones - keep in mind how lucky you will be to be able to attend everything you want to with your child - to not have to call in sick when they are, to not have to ask permission to run that lunchbox to school when they leave it in the car, etc., etc.!
hard to say - sm
I sure hope not. I don't want to think that God would punish many for the actions of few like this either. Probably purely coincidental.
The sad thing is that those who demanded that these religious monuments be removed are probably not even from the south but chose that area because of the spirituality and religious folks that make the south their home.
I personally find the removal of these markings truly abominable. They are a simple reminder of what this country was founded on, faith, hope, and freedom.
Southerners are devote and proud. They will get through this with time and help from the rest of us. This is what American grit really is. Help from others or no, we have to stick together and pull ourselves up from the muck.
I really would like to know why it is so hard
to let someone ask a question if they want. You do not have to read it, think about it, address it, whatever.....what difference does it make that the topic was brought up at some past time? This board is for communication and nobody is forcing you to read redundant posts.
Just PLEASE stop making folks feel stupid. Go onto the next post or start one yourself.
You are being to hard on
Not stop it - you are just looking at your own reflection in your monitor! You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself!
How hard is it to get a job?
I'm considering getting a Medical Transcriptionist Certificate at a local college. I was wondering how hard it is to get a job after graduating? I've noticed on the Job Seekers Board that most of the jobs require experience. Any advice?
Having a hard day
I'm having the hardest time working today. My best friend is having surgery at the Cleveland Clinic today. She is only 28 and has grade III anaplastic astrocytoma. She was only diagnosed three months ago after she had a seizure and this is now her second surgery. She is so far away (we live in Kentucky) and I really want to be there. To those who are reading this, I am asking for your prayers for my friend, Jenny, and her husband and two young children, that they may all be together this Christmas. Please also pray for me to have the strength to help her and her family through this terrible time and difficult road ahead. Thank you all.
don't be hard on yourself for the
decisions that you've made. we all want to believe what our spouces tell us and hope that things will change but in the end it never does and in the meantime you're raising your kids in an environment that will effect them the rest of their lives. i've been through a lot of what you're going through and there's no good or easy answer to help anyone through it. I used to be very confident, strong and able to do anything and now I don't have the confidence to make the most simple decisions because my x was so abusive. my family didn't believe me about the things that would happen and I was too humiliated to tell my friends. when I finally got the courage to make him move out I was recovering from neck surgery, couldn't ambulate by myself, didn't have a full time job, had a 1 year old, and he had wiped out the savings. it's been 2.5 yrs and I'm almost back on my feet. there are state systems that can help you but be prepared for a battle there too because you will have to nag and nag to get help in a somewhat timely manner, just don't give up. start checking into things as quickly as possible because I found out that it's usually first-come first-served type of thing. call you local police department and ask what they can offer and what steps you need to take to keep yourself and kids safe. what I finally realized was that I didn't want my son growing up in an environment that was unhealthy and unsafe not to mention I didn't want him to think that it was ok to treat people, especially women, in the way he was seeing at home. I'm a firm believer that God gives you what you can handle and you will be a better person once you've overcome his challenges. I also believe that it's my job as a mother to do anything I can to protect my son for as long as I can. no parent, not even a step-parent, should ever be jealous of their child for any reason especially health reasons and needing more attention. I know I'm on my soapbox but I believe that you can find the confidence to do what is right for you and to be stronge for your kids. try to remember that abusers never change. (feel free to email me anytime you need to.) there's lots of us out there that can relate to what you're going through and although there's nothing to make it easier it helps to have people just to vent to. my prayers go out to you and your family
Most MT's tell me it's hard to get 9 to 10 cpl now...nm

Not hard at all
I set up my Linksys wireless router myself and it was pretty much self explanatory. The Linksys help line is pretty good too, in case you run into trouble. Might have to wait a bit on the phone depending on what time you call.
This is hard for me to believe
I guess I am stumped as I do 180 to 220 minutes per day. To me 60 minutes means I am hardly working. I am not trying to put this down but this is definitely part-time and so you should be able to do it unless they make you do it at specific times and you like to make your own time to work. You just need to work toward goals and reward yourself for every 20 minutes you do. But if this is an account you will be on all the time, you should be able to whip out 60 minutes in less than 2.5 to 3 hours. You can do it. How many minutes/lines do you do a day now? You must not need to make money to pay bills, that is my biggest incentitive -- no money - no food or ability to pay bills. Patti
It is so hard
I feel so bad for you. I had to do the recently. I still shudder when I think of that horrible day. I don't know how I got the courage to do it, just knew I had to.
