Brunch/Lunch

Fried taters, smoked sausage and onions

I had 1/2 smoked sausage link leftover from
making sauerkraut-sausage soup.
Then still had 4 potatoes lingering
in the fridge, so this is how this came about
to use up leftovers.



Supper

Cream chipped beef over toast.

Had a loaf of bread that's been sitting too
long and wanted to use it up before it went bad.
Didn't have any cheese to throw in it so instead used
up the rest of the bottle of 3 cheese ranch dressing
and mixed it in when adding the milk.



----------------------------------------

Took everyone to the library today.

Tony needed a manual about our Suburban.
The kids each got an armful of books.

I decided since I was there to grab a couple
books that looked interesting.

I got:

1/2 Priced Living
Secrets to living on one income

-I just browsed through this book and it must
be for the rich trying to cut back! When I read
a chapter about home improvement and it said
to spend $6,000 to $7,000 to replace your
toilet, sink and fixtures! I knew this was
not my kind of book. I tossed it aside and
read no further!!!
My kind of home improvement involves Craigslist,
Habitat or a clearance section!

Live Your Life For Half The Price
without sacrificing the life you love

Frugal Living For Dummies
Practical ideas to help you spend less,
save more and live well.

----------------------------------------

Kroger sent me an email today.
They want me to take a survey about
my shopping habits. Then I will be entered
in their contest to try and win
10- $100 prizes. Crossing fingers!
This is the first one I ever got from them.

I also received in the mail from Kroger
today a couple coupons for Clorox bleach.

-----------------------------------------

Oh my goodness! We are sitting here watching
The Real Housewives of Orange County.
One son was preparing a meal wearing an apron
around his waist. On this apron was a picture
of a penis. They didn't block it out!!
I rewound it on the DVR and sure enough
it was what we thought it was. Just something
you don't see on tv everyday. Heck on the
National Geographic channel they cover up
the genitals with blurred spots!!

-------------------------------------------

Going to bed. Just took some more ibuprofen.
Body and head still hurts! Hoping for a
better day tomorrow.

COFFEE FILTER USES

Coffee filters ..... Who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing even the large ones.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome... Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter..

12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters..

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. It soaks out all the grease.

14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."

15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.

16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.

17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.

18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.

19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.

20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.. Saves on having extra bowls to wash.

21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.

22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.

23. Use them to sprout seeds.. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.

24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book..

25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.
