20 June 2018 - How to Test if You are Dead to Me

Meat Thermometer Best Way to Test a Roast

"Using a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature is the best way to test the doneness of a meat roast or roasted poultry."


If you don't already have a thermometer for testing the internal temp of your meat, please run to the store and get one asap.
The best important reason for this is just that you need to serve certain foods at certain temperatures to ensure that it is safe to eat.

Here is the standard temperatures to serve certain types of foods:
Some thermometers even come with temperature guidelines.
There is really no excuse to not know how hot food should be before you eat it.

For some reason in 2018 we have a new trend.

It's disgusting.

It's called chicken sashimi.

Raw Chicken.


People who have eaten or prepared it say it's really good.
Like sushi but with a bird.

The problem is that you can't do this with all types of chicken.
Just like you can't have sushi with just any kind of raw fish.
 Sushi is made with safe sushi grade fish.

Chicken sashimi is made by chefs who get their chicken meat from reputable sources.
So please please do not think that you can just eat chicken raw and be okay.

Some compare this raw chicken trend to eating rare steak.
But it really isn't the same. 
Steak cooked rare has an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Just to be clear for you squeamish folks out there. You are not eating blood. If you come to my house and ask for a steak well done, I am throwing you out of my house. You are dead to me. 

I will not serve you chicken below 165 degrees Fahrenheit and I refuse to serve you a steak that is cooked above 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

In my house you can choose from Rare, Medium Rare, and Medium is pushing it.
I will not abuse steak that way.
No sir!

8 June 2018 - I Need a Vacation

"Wish You Were Here" "A new kind of vacation has become popular in recent years. Two families exchange homes for the vacation period - and both benefit." This is the premise of one of my favorite movies The Holiday In this 2006 movie, our main characters go onto a website called HomeExchange.com. They decide they want away from their tormented lives on Christmas so they vacation in each others homes for the Christmas Holiday. It's an adorable movie that ends all cuddly and romantically. Our Almanac suggests that if you wish to try this out you should join the Vacation Exchange Club! In the 1970's, this was a directory of people who were all part of this home exchange club. It featured homes around the world so you could swap homes with people from different backgrounds. This is also a chance for you to visit far off places and check off some countries from your bucket list. Home Exchange is still operating today. You ...

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.  This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.  Jesus would go on to be betraye...
