Well to be honest, what she did to her living room looks good,kitchen,dinning part and 2 walls of the living room is a light tan color,and her other wall is a green which goes down the hall to the bathroom and bedrooms.I think it will look ok once she gets her pictures and stuff on the wall, but that will be a bit as they are coming in next week and tear out the carpet and put the fake wood floor down in living room and down the hall. Now if I can only remember to tell he is a dirty young man...He is going to flip...lol God bless, Pat who has babbled too much tonite > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yes, Pearl, my son is stationed in Okinawa as an MP. He really likes it there. He already did his year in Iraq. He was in Germany and his unit went to Iraq and then shortly after their year was up, he PCS'd to Japan. I am hoping he stays there until his enlistment is over. Then college!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks, Pat. I napped for a couple hours and went out later for a light snack. I had a quiet day, and counted my blessings.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Marta have you tried Costco? I buy big tubs of it at both Costco and Sams here in Fresno. They have two different brands. I get cravings that last for awhile and about the time I really get stockpiled they go away. Oh well.... You explained awhile ago to some newbie about why our bowels are the color and texture they are at the beginning, which had always been a question in my mind, but something I just accepted. I was glad to know the reason why. In fact I had remarked to my brother once that it didn't make any difference what I ate, it all came out looking the same. Perhaps you can answer this question for me, why, since our food goes basically straight through us, does it find the time to get so rotten smelling? I notice it always has this one certain odor, but can get worse. Is that because of the less bile thing? I am not trying to get a stinky poop thing going again on here. just remembered you explaining the color and texture thing and thought maybe you could explain the mechanics of this to me. I know it is something we have to live with, and I gladly accept it in exchange for my better health. My last A1C was a 5.1, am I happy, you bet!!!!!! Beats a 9.7, as it was at one time. I am still waiting and wanting my hernia repair and panni removal, but this broken wrist didn't heal right and now I am battling early RSD with 3x wk. therapy. I am determined to beat it. I WILL beat it. I may not have use of my right hand now, but I will. Dr. K will do my surgery whenever I am ready, I just need to get the use of my hand back. That is more important at the moment, though I am so looking forward to getting the surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Pearl, I think it has something to do with the undigested fats. I notice that the lower fat my diet is, the less stinky it is. Regarding the tubs of stuff, I forget what we were talking about. Was it sweet pickles? lol Marta > Perhaps you can answer this question > for me, why, since our food goes basically straight through us, does it find > the time to get so rotten smelling?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 okay, now share the recipe for the jerky, or is it already in the recipe file and I just haven't gone there? I don't have a recipe, I just mix till it tastes good. My tastes change so much it seems. Also it depends on who I have to share it with. Just me, it has so much red pepper in it it is hard to find the meat. I love it hot, and I like putting in garlic powder sometimes. Just really spicy. The first I ever made the recipe said to cut the meat in strips, make really spicy boiling water and run the strips through with them hooked on curtain rods. I had an enclosed screened back porch with a clothes line on it and as soon as I ran the hooks of meat through the boiling water I hung them out to dry. It didn't take long. It was really good jerky. Everyone would grab several hooks of it on the way into my house. They loved it!!! Begged for more. Back then we didn't have dryers. I am talking almost fifty years ago. Then I started drying it in the oven. My kids have always loved it. Regardless of how I made it. Most of them like it with lots of red pepper. I do have a couple who are a little less able to handle the really " good " kind. The ground meat sounds like it would be kind of like the Slim Jims you buy. They are kind of greasy and not whole meat flavored. I haven't convinced myself I want to try it just yet. Of course I am easily convinced to try new stuff. If I do, I will let all of you know. I just wondered if any of you had tried it, knew of it, or anything. Pearl <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 hello Pearl, This recipe you told takes me back to my childhood years.My father made jerky just the way u did he made a closed screen tent in the back yard,a clothline and just placed the meat over the line.Yes this is very delicious and irresistable grub.My father loved deer hunting so this where he got his meat or he would buy beef as well.Only thing is he didnt make the meat spicy it was mixed like salt,pepper,there was a sweat taste maybe barb-Q sauce not sure but made such a grrrrreat taste.No need of buying dehydrators nor oven dring no fancy ways just good oh clotheline and tent.

Im gonna have to get me this Necco dryer from Walmart is this all you need to make beef jerky is it just called dryer or is it a dehydrator?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 hello Pearl, when you said you started drying beef jerky in the oven at what temp was it on and for how long did you leave it in there? did you use foil to go over the racks ,used aluminum pans or do you place them directly over the racks? about the meat Im thinking you might of had to pound it thin with a meat hammer right and then cut into strips? interesting Love and Smile, ~Gabby~ <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Pearl, the recipe for my jerky is in the files. I prefer peppered jerky, but with black pepper, not red. I bet my son would love your jerky. Whenever I make it I lose weight or maintain. I first dried mine in an oven and only in the past couple years did I buy a dryer. My oven was damaged by putting too large a load of jerky in it. THe moisture went everywhere and it is a built-in, so too bad for me. The Necco dryers available from Walmart are great. They come with four shelves and so this year I bought a second one for the extra shelves. Too bad for me, it would be cheaper or order the shelves. Last time I checked it was cheaper to buy a second machine. I paid about $40 for it. They only have them in the winter, I think. I rarely change my recipe. I have tried soy-based recipes, including teriyaki, but I prefer the original. I do not like sugar in my jerky, but like a salty, peppery, smoky flavor. Regarding sharing, well, I am greedy. By the time I am finished making it, I really struggle with giving it away! So much work, so little jerky in the end. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 It is a dehydrator and it is in the small appliance aisle. Better act fast as they are seasonal. I got the last one at my local Walmart. You have to slice the meat thin. I like thick slices so I tried the thin-sliced steak from Costco and it worked fine, just takes a long time to dry. I mean, almost 24 hours. If you live where there are Mexican meats available, they have fajita meat that is slice perfectly. I forget what it is called, at this moment. It will come to me. marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Im gonna go search for this dehydrator before the price goes up.better yet put a layaway on it,lol.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 If Dr K wants to have 'calcium absorption' as his August meeting, I can show up and be an example of what not to do! Hee. My levels are a lot better now though and while I'm still no where close to perfect on taking my calcium regularly, I'm doing calcium infusions every week, so they never get as long as they did that one time. I have to get them checked again, but I'm probably pretty close to being in the normal range, I think..almost! Does JJ ever post? It just shows how everyone's bodies are so completely different since she never took calcium and her calcium levels were always perfect, unlike mine...it's definitely important to get your levels checked and do what's needed for your own body, etc. -Anita 11/08/01 (Holy crap, I'll be a 6 yr post-op this year!)

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Pat, twenty two freaking hours of travel. You would think I was coming from another country! I am filthy and tired. I went to Memphis and my bags went to Long Beach. My bag was searched. I am pretty sure they found the sight of eleven pounds of cheese curds um suspicious! They dented my good boots. Ah, heck. Some of the curds were still frozen when I got here. The you=know-what is on its way, also. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
