A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2268 Chatting We Appreciate!

Well everybody, the new CH is up and running, so come on in!!

...is the coffee hot?

Well I hope it is hot, I could use some.

beef cutlets are a fancy way of saying someone pounded some round steak into what looks like hamburger shapes. It is a cheap cut of meat that is bit more tender that way,

Yes!

You see, I have been out of coffee grinds since Sunday and I finally bought some this morning, so the coffee is definitely fresh and hot!

Never heard of that before Carol~ya learn something new everyday.

Oh, no coffee...that's bad.

We don't call them "beef cutlets" here, Tam. But I've misplaced the word in my head for what we DO call them!


Here a cutlet is an expensive cut of meat. It is the center portion with all the fat & bone trimmed away, so it is also smaller in size than the average cut.

Yes, no coffee was bad.

Here a cutlet is a nugget...ya know like chicken nuggets from McDonalds...that's why I was lost...I thought beef nuggets..eeewww

HEY...where'd y'all go???

You are right, Tam: "beef nuggets" eeeewwww!



What did you end up baking yesterday?

Sorry about that Tam. I was sitting here forever waiting for someone to post but forgot to refresh my page! Just call me idjit girl.

merme may well have a better handle on the explanation. we also have pork cutlets. the beel are also called cube steaks

sorry I have about 4 things going on here--

Yes! "Cube Steaks"! That was the term I misplaced in my sleepy head! Thanks, Carol Jean!

Yesterday I baked bread...all different shapes. The day before I baked chocolate brownies with lots of walnuts so I wouldn't eat any.

I forgot to refresh also and was still on the other page.

sounds good, Tamara--
Thanks, Merme.

I need to get my Mixer so I can actually do some baking-but then there ARE recipes that do not require a mixer, I guess-----

I like things made w/ a mixer too, Carol. Yes, you are going to have to replace yours soon.

Remember the old non-electric hand mixers? How in the world did we ever bake anything really good?!


Merme

Yup, lots.

I have many quick recipes for things you can make in under 5 minutes...no mixer required.

.....which reminds me my mixer is grinding again...I'm yet to find one that lasts me for at least a year.

I think I will make an order this afternoon. I may or may not add the mixer. and yes I know I can. I have lots of eggs, I may make some kind of bread pudding. I will likwe that & if rod is despirate enough he will eat some too.

and yes I have one of those non-electric ones now---I guess I could use it, huh??? Hand beater???

a year, you must use it a lot huh?? my hand mixers, last me about 15 years...

My hand mixer is missing. I do not know where my last girl put it and my new girls haven't been able to find it for me yet!

....I have no luck with mixers or vacuum cleaners...they only last a year...DH says that should tell me something

yea well as far as the vacuum goes I would agree but really a mixer should last better. Besides do you hear him complaining??? :

Yes, all the time....about the vacuum at least anyway.

I was really referring to the mixer---I am sure he appreciates the food you make right??? :wink:

Oh ya...but he still hates the sound of high noise appliances running.

...you should have seen the look on his face when I opened my gift from mom for X-mas. A high speed, extra powered hand vac....I kept playing with it in the store when I'd go and he'd say...no way, put it back ...ya that's right...I'd vacuum in the Wal-Mart.

yea, My Emily is like that. had teh problem as a kid and has never outgrown it. when her DH was home he did all the vacuuming now with him overseas she has to do it. her Vacuum is broken too, so she is looking into putting a unit in the wall (I forget the name) she says that should be quieter.

oh goodness the gift that keeps on giving--I love it !!!!!

Good morning. I am home with a cold. I am still working outdoors while the sun shines but I have plenty of tissues with me.

Ya and it's the new rechargeable ones...I vacuum everywhere.

Hi Tina~still painting away?

Hi Tina, please rest---I hate colds...

Tamara---I have a rechargable push broom it it very nice, I can do it without strainign my stomach or back--yea!!!

Rechargeable push broom???Now we're talking...what kind and where did you get it?

I am finished painting. I need to put my new things in a semi permanent place and start planting them.

Well, not new things. Just newly painted.

ya know the kind of thing that you push & it picks up dirt--it has places on the bottom to hold the dirt--that opne so yo can clean it out??

\I have 2 Bissels, one is old & a good one, My MIL got it qith her Bissell vacuum back in the day. but is pretty much shot.

1 i s newerone & cheaper but does not work as well. My mom found it in one of those small catalogs that come in the mail.

the rechargable is called a 'swivel sweeper' and was part of Rod's aunt's 'estate'.

It has 2 rechargable battery packs but one does not work. I cannot figure out how to remove the batteries in it to replace them---I see no way, perhaps there is none.

that makes them new, right??


wish I could do such as you . there is still snow here.

I wil not be planting for at least 2 months yet
