I WAS THINKING…
about what was said how the new year compares to a fresh blanket of snow. One must be careful how they move forward because every step will show. I personally think that’s an ingenious comparison. Maybe I should keep thinking about.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
OVER HEARD AT THE SENIOR CENTER
I don’t wear hearing aids because people will expect me to listen to them.
One good thing about my bad eyesight, I can’t see my wrinkles and gray hair.
I know I’m old but I’d rather be old than dead.
I never lie about my age. I just say I’m two years younger than my sister. Then I lie about her age.
HINTS WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH COOKING
(Taken from Mary Ellen’s Best of Helpful Hints)
Too salty soup or stew: Add cut raw potato, discard once cooked and salt is absorbed.
Soggy lettuce: Add lemon juice to a bowl water and soak for an hour in the refrigerator.
Lettuce and celery: To crisp up fast, place in a pan of cold water with a raw sliced potato.
Cream that won’t whip: Set bowl of cream into a bowl of ice while whipping. If cream still won’t stiffen, gradually whip in 3 or 4 drops of lemon juice. Cream whipped ahead of time will not separate if you add a touch of unflavored gelatin.
Soggy mashed potatoes: Overcooked potatoes can become soggy when the milk is added. Sprinkle with dry powdered milk for fluffy mashed potatoes.
