I had a good time today with my new food processor. It'a KitcheAid 13
cup. It does the usual stuff, but it also has a variable thickness
slicer and a dicing device as well.
I diced all the veggies for the stuffing. Sliced the apples for pie.
Made the pie dough. And shredded the carrots for the orange jello.
The stiffing is especially tasty this year. I added red bell pepper
and fresh mushrooms. I used my dried sage as well as a bit of thyme
and a smidge of poultry seasoning (something I'd never used before) I
went back to stuffing of old and used ground beef instead of sausage.
I like it better. I guess it's what you grow up with.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Sounds like your new food processor is a win, doing all that.

A Happy Thanksgiving to you and I bet you totally enjoy the new food
processor. I'd give up my mixer before the fp.

year. It has to be for something that is enough work to make it worth
digging it out cleaning it and putting it away again. Those are the
occasions where there really is no substitute. One of the chores I use
it for is cutting Seville orange peels for marmalade. It would easily
take 20 minutes or more to slice them all up fine enough to make
marmalade. The FP can cut them up in a minute.

When I used to eat peanut butter and jelly it was with orange
marmalade. Now I keep several jars in the pantry because it's a
cooking ingredient, I like it for oriental marinades, and it's
wonderful in chocolate cakes/browies. Years ago a Baskin & Robins
flavor was Manderin Chocolate (orange chocolate), was my favorite. I
also like candied orange peel covered with dark chocolate, Barton's
Bonbonnaire introduced me when I worked for them after school.

produce department workers. We asked a guy in the department if and when
they would be carrying Seville oranges. I tried to describe them and
said they are used for making marmalade and then he said "Of yeah, the
ones that are really delicious" or something to that effect. He had
obviously never tasted one. They are horrible. They are so bad that I
am surprised they ever found a use for them.

with someone to cut the grass for Don. I've not done much housework
since 2001. I was either out to sea too much or it was after my back
went really bad. Misdiagnosed by the Navy, it is no longer fixable.

ancient riding mower. He passed away and the house was sold to a
younger couple. The past two years Jared has cut my grass and vacuumed

If you only want once a month, you are still capable of doing that.
Most of my customers have 1-3 days a week help. Some for half days and

LOL. One year I was over on the mainland on a rather frazzled day of
errands when I spotted a greengrocer selling Seville oranges; knew I had
to snap them up quick. There I stood trying to remember the marmalade
recipe from the previous year. My recipe books are full of notes added
by me. Was it in pounds or kiligrams? Did it say "60 jars of jam takes
12 lb of oranges? or 12 kg? Or was that the sugar? Brain pain. So I
played safe and bought 12 kilograms of oranges.
I was on foot, travelling by bus and ferry... By the time I hauled
that huge 27 pound sack of oranges from the shop to the bus, off the
bus, to the harbour, up and back down the ferry gangplank and up the
hill to home my arms had stretched down to my knees and I had a sinking
feeling. Sure enough when I checked the recipe; I'd written "takes 12
pounds of oranges to make 60 jars". Not, 12 kilos (27 pounds).
Luckily, there was such a shortage of Sevilles that year that none
reached the island, so a couple of friends were very grateful to acquire
a supply from my sack.

We matched them and Don's top hate was cleaning bathrooms and mine was

a week ironing what needs to be ironed so he does that too (most of my

Every one pitches in with storing groceries and picking up things and

a hankering for home made spagetti and we found I was out of sauce
(pre-made) so is trying her hand at it with a can of sauce and one of
crushed tomatoes. Her approach is very interesting and I bet I will be
copying it! Stoplight mini-peppers that needed to be used up, set the
initial tone to which she added a bold amount of black pepper and now
she's filtering jars and sniffing things. She (and we) want something
a bit different. Should be good!

I love mine, especially for dicing mass quantities.
Only drawback I have seen is that some hard foods - chopped carrots,
for example, can leave pieces in the double rim of the cover.
Otherwise it is very handy and a workhorse.

She insisted it was easy to clean maintain. It cost a pretty penny to
have it done because we had to get the lath first. Our first choice tile
was not available so I made an executive decision and for the egg shell.
Our dog are the time was black. Between his foot prints and hair I had
never realized that our brownish style tile floor was so dirty. The
ceramic was indeed easier to clean, and it had to be done at least once
a day.

I never successfully learned to iron, my efforts just made the clothes look even worse :)
Mind you, I only tried two or three times and that was more than thirty years ago. Much easier to not own clothing that requires ironing... Or just get someone else do it.

That is pretty much the idea. I'm not good at windows no matter what I
try. In fact, I'm having another 6 replaced so they can be cleaned from
inside. Exterior trim is being replaced too, no more painting as I
don't want to have to stand on a ladder 6 or 8 years from now.
I used to do everything, including major work at home. Now i find it
easier to write a check.

My husband wears jeans or sweats. I wear knits, or just make do
with taking my chinos out of the dryer and hanging them up.
Next weekend we've got my husband's company's Christmas do.
I'm wearing the chinos and a nice red blouse that I got at the
Goodwill. He's wearing chinos and a Santa Claus Hawaiian shirt.
Most of the people there will be fairly dressed up. I'll look
ok from across the room, and DH will be the class clown.
The last one of these we went to, there was one guy in a t-shirt,
so I'm sure he won't be the worst-dressed man there.
