Some of us don't have money to
purchase whatever we want.
We have to live with basic items.
So here is a challenge I thought
of for today...
If you had a fire in your home today
and the fireman said to grab only
5 items from your kitchen, what
would you grab?
These 5 items
would last forever and could be
the only 5 things you could
use the rest of your life for
cooking or baking. This would
not include your silverware,
steak knives, plates, soup bowls or cups.
But would include small appliances.
What would those 5 items be???
Here is my list:
1. Crock pot.
2. My largest casserole dish.
3. My largest soup pot. (not a canning pot)
4. Microwave
5. Manual or electric can opener

Been a slow day. Tony got called out on a page
about 30 minutes after crawling out of bed.
He got another emergency call while out.
Another one of those calls that makes
you wanna shake your head!
He was told there was no water coming from
the bathroom sink. So he ran right over
thinking it was frozen pipes.
Come to find out the aerator wasn't spraying
water out properly.
DA DUH DUH DUH!!!
I started dishes in the dishwasher and put
the clean ones away.
Then I got 3 large pork chops in
the crock with a can of cream of chicken soup.
Might serve with some rice and green beans.
Then for dessert I made up a cookie bar
from one of Betty Crocker cookie mixes.
The house is smelling so good at the moment.
Here is the result of my bar cookies
I have a question...
What happened to Kroger brand cookie mixes??????
I used to buy those to save money instead of
Betty Crocker brand. But I noticed yesterday
they no longer existed. I am bummed and wonder
where they went.

I took a nap for a little bit not long ago.
When I awoke I started flipping through channels
on the tv and landed on the The Antique Roadshow.
This lady had a set of 4 Jade pieces.
They were appraised at $700,000 to over a million!!
That's when I think I would draw a line between
family mementos that are passed down and
the time to sell them so my family could be
better off!!
I would have crapped myself hearing the appraisals!
You would have had to pick me up off the floor.
It would have been like hitting the lottery!!
In the second video below they question her
after the show to find out what it is like
to be the person who had the highest appraisal
in Roadshow history.
Come to find out she has more jade pieces and
other oriental items at home that may hold more value.
Time to sell, sell, sell!!!
