I made avocado guac on Trader Joe's non-gmo organic tacos. It was yummy! Tonight I made a raw salad of red cabbage, a carrot, a small apple, half of avocado, feta cheese, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. It was awesome! Crunchy, creamy, sweet-sour.

Hey about the salt: Himalayan salt, or sea salt is fine for you. We need salt. Again, it's how big food companies process the salt that made salt unfit for us. And watch that brown bread is not brown due to food coloring! I know. It's endless.

I am laughing because this question is such a constant part of my life as a caregiver! Planning meals, meals, meals. Tonight I think I'll fry some chicken strips - delicious fresh & hot and the next day even better for a snack.

Cheap can of tomato sauce, tomato paste; needs something to quickly turn it into spaghetti sauce without simmering for hours. It is way too acidic, tomatoey, and in a hurry, sometimes don't have prepared sauce available. Just don't like the acid flavor. What can I add to it? Got any ideas?

Try putting in brown sugar, not too much, just a tablespoon or so.

I add a splash of wine...

I want a report back on the spaghetti sauce, sugar or wine? Both? Maybe if you drink enough of the wine it doesn't matter?

No whine here, Cwillie. LOL

Cwillie, Reporting back on the spaghetti sauce: This simmering sauce has taken 2 hours, required 2 tablespoons of sugar, diced tomatoes from a can blended into a sauce; can of tomato paste, can of tomato sauce, purple onions, zuchinni, ylo squash, kale, green bell peppers, carrots (some blended into the sauce), no choice but to simmer forever. It was worth the time, the person I am living with loved the all vegetable portion with grated parmesan on top. Now, I am getting to have mine, with spaghetti, topped with sauce.
There will be leftovers for later days.
Thanks for the ideas!

Pamzi, Used a touch of italian dressing in the sauce instead of wine. It was okay.

I admit that seeing that ^^ comment in my News Feed made me laugh. At least the spammers are humorous.

Hey, Gurumaraji, I need one Winning Lottery Ticket and one Prince Charming. Can you get those for me??

I agree, Ali. Hey Gurumaraji, I'll take 3 financially helpful siblings and a side order of 10 extra hours in my day, please.

Have to chuckle at the troll's choice of name, though. Gurumaraji - "guru" or "specialist" and "maraji" - supreme legal authority.

Just a little too on the nose.

I've got some pork steaks on the GF grill (since I don't have an outdoor grill right now - I much prefer them grilled outside!) and I'll heat up some veggies or have a salad. Need to go up and see Mom tonight and still have a full load of work to get done.

Cooked dinner for the first time in ten months. It was a struggle but hubby thought he had died and gone to heaven. It was chicken pieces fried in batter with baby potatoes flavored with fresh mint and corn. To h3ll with the tube feeding I am on the way back to real food and actually manages to eat about half but it is a start and more than that my interest in food is returning.

im still on the prepper kick . try n sav has extra tall ( 24 oz ) cans of maxwell house coffee for 5 . 99 . thats a good price . i may pick up several of them before the week is over . im not really expecting zombie marauders but having some stuff stored could serve me well if i dont work much this winter .
im hoping to can a hundred quarts of tomatoes this year and make homemade catsup out of all that remain .
canned tomatoes and catsup is about the quickest path i know to a great tomato base ( chili , spaghetti , bbq , etc . )
100 qts isnt unrealistic at all from past experience .
the bees are looking good out at the farm . theyre building comb , raising brood and stashing nectar and pollen . theyre already capping off filled honey cells . im beekeep # 2 . docs son is the studied mastermind behind the project . gotta admit -- its pretty interesting ..

Capt I don't suppose you own a "Food Saver" vacuum packer and would not buy one because the bags are so expensive but should you "find" one with the jar sealing attachments find a space for it. You can use your empty mason jars just with the lid and use the air extracter to create a vacuum in the jar and store dry goods. I wish they made a gallon jar but 1/2 gallon is the largest.

ive been checking out the jar vacuum sealers veronica . a book ive been reading says you can store dried goods in 5 gallon buckets w lids . you drop in a chemical " break " type hand warmer . when the hand warmer burns up the 02 it extinguishes itself .
i dont go nuts on the prepping but im not in a fragile position either .
waltreason is selling the 2.5 glass barrel jars for about 12 bucks . lovely for staples things . so far i have rice , flour , brown sugar and beans in these . they sure doll up a kitchen .
i have enough canola oil stashed to deep fry a buffalo . now i need a buffalo ..
im not at all paranoid about the state of america but as an old guy -- when presidential candidates are posturing over penis size , it doesnt invoke any real confidence in our leaders either . lol

Not to go all political here (because that's a recipe for trouble), but I'm with you on that, Cap. I have been trying to recall a presidental race in our nation's history where the size of a man's hands (and what it corresponds to down below) has come into play as an actual topic of discussion at a debate.

I have yet to find another occurrence of that one.

politics has always been pretty perverse imo . i think trump is a pantload but he has that " audacious enough to say what everyone else is forbidden to say " thing going for him . id vote for him just to watch the ensuing chaos .
i dont like being told how to think .
the whole glbt thing comes to mind . im like ; go choke on one , i dont care , in fact i wont have to listen to your self serving drivel for a while ..
peace and quiet . thats what i want .

i received my 300 wine corks in the mail today . just for kicks i had to try out the wine cork press . incredible . you soak the corks in water to soften and lubricate them then with just a twist of two levers you slam a 1 inch cork into a 3/4 inch bottle neck . ive been mr wrong way jones for so many decades that i dont know who the hell im supposed to be now .

I made a huge stir fry with some store bought stir fry sauce, planning for leftovers. OMG it's horrible! Maybe I should just say sc%& it and toss some onion rings and fries in the toaster over?

cwillie,
i dont trust many storebought sauces ( or sauce mixes ) . red pepper , sugar , vineagar and jelly would have produced a more predictable sweet / sour .
im just chewing on a couple of fried pork chops tonight . they clearly came from an 8 year old brood sow . sav a lot should be forced to furnish heart defibrilators with this low grade meat .

Cap, sounds like that pork should be destined for pulled pork in the slow cooker.

the chops would actually make pretty good brats since brats need about 30 % fat .
i got my " fake binoculars " 16 ounce flask at the post office this morning . it isnt the dumbest 12 dollar purchase ive ever made . that title is already taken by the 2 ea 11 . 00 beers i bought at my last concert . i think ill have more fun out of them pretending to gaze and drool at shirley manson than what thrill ill get from the rotgut booze i plan to smuggle in .
i think ill get my son carry to the binoculars in . im not assertive enough . he , on the other hand would elbow your head right off your shoulders if you impede his scheme in any way . hes kinda street smart and im kinda " logging path " slow in the head by comparison .
