Now that the power is hooked up and the water it connected, and the fridge is doing it's thing, I can fritter over details. My little bar magnet sticks to the S.S. kitchen sink and to the S.S. parts on the stove and the dishwasher. I've done a bit of reading and obviously the stainless...

Thanks bear We (Jan and I)are not unhappy that we lost the magnetic fridge door. Our kitchen floor is Terracotta clay tiles and stepping on a fridge magnet in your stocking feet can be unpleasant. I thought maybe a magnetic bulletin board on the back of their bedroom doors. Any loose magnets...

One or two tiny regrets. The fridge we replaced must have had a hundred little magnets all over the door that the grand kids use to use to pin up their latest "art". Jan suggested we buy a magnetic bulletin board. I'm sure we can get around that problem one way or another. The other problem...

Ron. We have a 14 cubic foot chest freezer that we hope to either eliminate or downsize. This fridge is just over six feet high and the freezer seems easy to organize. We'll see:smile:

This is what it looks like but in stainless. 24.8 cubic feet and the ice maker is in the bottom freezer drawer. I thought the ice maker in the door took too much space out of the door Thanks for the info on the S.S. ladies, I wondered if they were giving me polished aluminum:smile:

Over the last year and a half we have bought all new kitchen appliances. The first appliance we bought was a dishwasher with a stainless steel door. Next we bought a stove that had the smooth top and stainless every where else. Today we took delivery of a Kenmore "Elite" refrigerator. It...

BILLY the Kid, the American outlaw, could receive a posthumous pardon from the Governor of New Mexico 122 years after he was allegedly shot dead by Sheriff Pat Garrett. Obviously the governor is brain damaged. Billy the Kid was a demented serial killer who apparently killed a man for every...

On this day in 1936 King Edward VII dedicated the memorial at Vimy Ridge to the 3598 Canadian soldiers who lie there. Another 10,602 were wounded. Alas, neither the dedicator or any of the soldiers in that war are still alive. On This Day - July 26, 1936 - CBC Archives

The McCanns have been missing for some time now. CBC News - Canada - Missing couple: Timeline of the McCann case, The couple were traveling in a large motorhome and towing a Hyundai SUV. The motorhome was found burned down to the wheels and later the SUV was found a short distance away but...

Yesterday Jan and I drove out to Port Alberni and hopped on a little frieghter that goes from one end of Barclay Sound to the other. The ship goes from Port Alberni to Bamfield. The trip takes almost eight hours return. This is a daily trip that brings mail, groceries, and other needed goods...

About three weeks ago Jan planted a half dozen dried snow pea (seed peas)in a five gallon plant pot. We water them daily and in a week and a half we had Snow Pea plants three feet tall. They get flowers and pea pods very quickley. The trick is to harvest them as fast as the plants will...

As I said, "A minor heat wave". For the next week we will be getting temperatures in the high eighties and low nineties. The Nanaimo Airport is getting slightly cooler temperatures since they are twenty miles away and nearer the water. Don't get me wrong. I love hot weather and after the...

Crustless Quiche This is a simple recipe for quiche that doesn't require you to make a pie crust. Ingredients 2cups fillings of your choice (example broccoli, mushrooms, etc.) 1cup cheese shredded 1/4cup onion chopped 2cups milk 1cup biscuit baking mix (bisquick)...

One thing that caught my eye was the scale of that recipe. If you are serving four people three pounds of pork ribs and have roughly a cup and a half of sauce and to this sauce you are adding a 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, salt and pepper, cinnamon, and garlic. Each person gets a quarter of a...

We made a double batch of beans with a view to freezing some of them. I set them back off the heat for about an hour and the put them in the fridge withe the stirring spoon still in them. Right now you can lift the whole pot of beans with the stirring spoon. That is how much they stiffen up...

The only thing I can think of is that you didn't have enough heat. When I make baked beans, I add water at least twice in addition to the 8 cups I started with. We talked about the stuff simmering. When I use our crock pot on low, there is a good bit of bubbling. In the bean pot in the...

If you live pure, you don't get gas from baked beans. Thinking pure thoughts is also important...Lol

Select Dough. Let the bread machine go till the end of the first kneading cycle. Remove the dough to a floured board and form it into a ball shape. put dough into a greased bowl and let rise till it doubles in size. You can either form the dough into one large French loaf or two smaller...

JLM, Karrie Any salt-cured, bit of smoked pork.......Like a ham bone.....or a ham shank. I wouldn't use uncured pork like ribs. Slow cooker works fine.

In the oven is great. If I couldn't get pork shanks I would use a slab or two of unsliced bacon. I would always try a smoked pork cut of some kind I always find it is easier to maintain a low simmer in a low oven (225degrees)than on top of the stove. Beans tend to dry out the meat.
