What is for dinner

Hey all. What to cook for dinner. I have the perfect summer meal. Use your crock pot to cook. It will keep your kitchen cool as the oven is not being used and you can prepare those meals you love. I put a roast, carrots, potatoes, and a packet of onion soup mix with some beef broth in it. Turn it on low and cook for 9 hours. It smells great and the house stays cool. A great idea on these hot summer days. Little mess as well. Try it.

Out for dinner

Hey all. Too hot to cook, so we went out for dinner. There is a little Mexican restaurant that the locals around here love, so we went there. My son that is handicapped just loves it there. I do not know why and since he is non verbal, he is unable to tell us. All I know is that if I mention the restaurant to him, he gets very excited. Well we just got home and as usual, he loved it. I love when he is so happy.

AMHBoston

Hey all. I was on the internet this evening and I came across a site that reminded me of my husband so I wanted to pass it on to any of you out there that are self employed as it may be useful to you.
drum handling equipment is a site that sells both new and used material handling products. Included in this are the following, pallet racks, shelving, conveyors, hand trucks, and lockers for some examples. I especially like that they sell both new and used and some of the newer businesses may not always be able to afford a new product, so the option of a used product is there for you. My husband has recently been pricing lockers, so I thought of him and I plan to relay this useful site on to him as well. If you have an interest in these items, be sure to check out this site as well.

Afternoon

Hey all. What a glorious day here. Low humidity and 70's. it does not get any better. I vacuumed the pool and planted some grass a bit ago. When we put up our new fence, it left some bald areas in our lawn. My husband got some dirt and laid it down, so I planted the seed. It is fast grow so I hope that it looks good by my daughter's graduation party next month. The party is at our house. Busy, busy.

They are those fun card that you can construct on the internet and send them to that someone special to celebrate some special time, like, for instance, a birthday. This is such a fun and easy way to let that someone special know that you are thinking of them. I like to get my kids involved and assist them in creating e-cards to send to people for thank yous for instance. They receive a gift for their birthday and how special and easy it is to create an e-card to send a thank you too. And most everyone out there has an e-mail address to send one to now don't they? So here is my task for you. I am creating my own special e-card because today is the first day of summer and I just love this beautiful warm weather and I want to send my excitement and happiness to everyone. So please scroll down and you will be able to view the e-card that I created with the assistance of my son and daughter. They just truly enjoy making these e-cards. I am sure once you create a few and get the knack of it, you are sure to become hooked on creating them as well. I hope that you enjoy me e-card and also, do enjoy this beautiful summer weather and get out and take advantage of it.



Although I couldn't embed the card (couldn't figure it out) here is a link to the card! Enjoy!

Mall

Hey all. Well the kids and I went shopping at the mall for a while. My daughter just loves to shop. There were some great deals out there tough, I must say. Also as long as we have my son's wheelchair available, he loves to be wheeled through the mall. It gave him something to do also as he gets bored and frustrated when he is not in school. He does start summer school in two and one half weeks which I know he will be looking forward to. Well I must go for now.

Hamburger

Hey all. So I was on the food network site and I think I located a yummy recipe for ground beef. Here it is and let me know what you think.

Loaf of Meat. It was sent in by a viewer


1 egg
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound pork
1/2 pound veal
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon MSG, optional
1 teaspoon white table sugar
4 tablespoons sweet paprika
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoons seasoned salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spread a large sheet of aluminum foil on your counter. Crack egg into center of foil and put all meat on top of egg. Work the egg into the meat and the meats together using your hands until well blended. Flatten out meat. Cover mixture with all remaining ingredients.

Work all the ingredients together with your hands until well blended, do not rush. Flatten out resulting mixture into what resembles a very large hamburger patty, making sure that it is fairly uniform, 1 1/2 inches thick at most. Separate coating ingredients into 2 equal parts.

First sprinkle garlic powder, salt, paprika, and sugar over the top of the meat patty/loaf. Flip the loaf over and repeat coating on the other side. Place the loaf on a baker's rack over the top of a casserole dish so the extra fat can drip away from the loaf as it cooks. Put the loaf in the center of the rack and cook for 1 hour. Check by cutting the loaf in half to make sure the center is fully cooked, 1 hour usually does it, but if not then cut out two thick pieces from the center and just put those 2 back into the oven for 10 or 15 more minutes.

Reno 911

Hey all. I was on the internet this morning and I came across a site that I must pass on to you all.If you are a Reno 911 fan as I am this is a must.
Reno 911! Miami The Movie is a site that discusses this great show. i was at the local Blockbuster just last evening getting a the DVD of the show. It is a great show that I recommend to you if you have never seen it, really worth viewing. Anyway if you get on the site, there are a series of very funny interactive games that you can play along. I showed them to my husband and he was hooked playing them as well. One particular game that we seemed to play more than the others was Calling All Units. This one is really amusing. it takes a little practice, so do not get frustrated. Get it a number of practice run throughs and I am sure once you improve you will find it as amusing as I did. When I was playing my biggest problem was running out of energy, oh well. And then there was the damage to the car. Yikes, what a mess. Well when all was said and done, my score was not that bad, I was one of the better scores in my family though.I had cost the city a whopping $118,0000 and my salary was $9300. Finally my Bustin Bonus was $3000, the best by far in my family. Yeah me. You all should really check out this site. It is so well done and while you are at it, be sure to get the Reno 9119 on DVD. I am sure that you too will become hooked as I am.

Dinner ?

Hey all. I was not sure what to make for dinner tonight. I decided on just pizza, but I wanted to make a special dessert. At the request of my son I am preparing the following,

Tres Leche Cake

For the cake:
Vegetable oil
6 3/4 ounces cake flour, plus extra for pan
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces sugar
5 whole eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the glaze:
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half-and-half

For the topping:
2 cups heavy cream
8 ounces sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cake:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil and flour a 13 by 9-inch metal pan and set aside.

Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.

Place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 1 minute. Decrease the speed to low and with the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar over 1 minute. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl, if necessary. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix to thoroughly combine. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add the flour mixture to the batter in 3 batches and mix just until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. This will appear to be a very small amount of batter. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake is lightly golden and reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F.

Remove the cake pan to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Poke the top of the cake all over with a skewer or fork. Allow the cake to cool completely and then prepare the glaze.

For the glaze:
Whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and the half-and-half in a 1-quart measuring cup. Once combined, pour the glaze over the cake. Refrigerate the cake overnight.

Topping:
Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk together on low until stiff peaks are formed. Change to medium speed and whisk until thick. Spread the topping over the cake and allow to chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

More swimming

Well we just ate dinner and the kids are begging to go swimming again. I can not blame them as it is so refreshing. As I was always told as a kid, you must wait 30 minutes after you eat. I do not know if there is any real truth to it, but it will give me a chance to clean up a bit first. Hey any of you out there believe any truth to the waiting 30 thing. Let me know. Later you all.

Burn Notice's Survivor

Hey all I was on the internet this afternoon and I came across a really fun site that I just had to pass on to you all, so here it is.
USA Network's Burn Notice is a site that discusses the new show that is premiering on June 28th.A little background on the show, Michael Weston is a CIA Operative on USA Network's new TV series, Burn Notice. In the show he will show us how he deals with situations of really true survival. If you check out the following site you can learn more about the great show, http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice. Okay enough about this, now what I do if I became stranded somewhere with absolutely nothing to my name? Yikes. I think the first thing that would happen would be some screams from my mouth followed by a period of true panic. But once reality really set in, it would be time to get into deep though mode gear. What to do, what to do. If I was in a city, my best option would be to attempt to get a kind person to loan me their cell phone and to do as ET and phone home. If that failed or night set in, I would hope it was a warm night and attempt to find a safe place to get some rest. Good luck to that. Eating would be a problem. I think time to be a vegetarian and go for the berries and such. All this being said, I know I would really stink in survival mode, but hey I would give it a try.
So any of you interested, check out this new show. It is sure to be a hit.

Dinner

Hey all. Just came in from swimming with some hungry kids looking for dinner. Told them it is too hot to cook, so sandwiches tonight. I can not see the sense in heating up a kitchen. It is amazing how different we cook in the summer and winter. I do love cooking in the winter as I enjoy making the soups and stews and chili. Oh well we will just have to wait til the fall for all thiose yummy things. Or at least a cooler day.

Pet Insurance

Hey all. I was on the internet this afternoon and Icame across a site that I know many of you with pets will be interested in.
pet insurance is a site that offers pet insurance. This site offers pet insurance in the US and Canada. I beleive pet or dog insurance is becoming more and more necessary. With the rising cost of vet bills. I took our dog in a few months ago and between shots and the visit, it was well over $150.00 I wished I had pet health insurance then. I cost more than taking my kids to the doctor. According to the site, one great feature is that Pet insurance allows you to proceed with the best course of action recommended by your veterinarian, not what you can afford. You can concentrate on getting you pet healthy and happy and home to you again. Check out this site. You will be glad that you did.

BBQ Chicken

Hey all. Anyone looking for some great BBQ chicken? I found this recipe on the food network. If you are in the mood for chicken, check it out.
The Ultimate Barbecued Chicken
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence
Show: Tyler's Ultimate
Episode: Ultimate BBQ Chicken
The Ultimate Barbecued Chicken
Brine:
2 quarts water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed with the side of a large knife
4 sprigs fresh thyme
6 chicken legs and thighs, still connected, bone in, skin on, about 10 ounces each

The Ultimate Barbecue Sauce:
1 slice bacon
1 bunch fresh thyme
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika if available
Freshly ground black pepper

For the brine, in a mixing bowl combine the water, salt, sugar, garlic, and thyme. Transfer the brine to a 2-gallon sized re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, close the bag and refrigerate 2 hours (if you've only got 15 minutes, that's fine) to allow the salt and seasonings to penetrate the chicken.

Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the bunch of thyme and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook slowly 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly without coloring for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Once the sauce is done cooking, remove about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and reserve for serving along side the chicken at the table. The rest of the barbecue sauce will be used for basing the legs.

Preheat oven 375 degrees F.

Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue to a medium heat. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface. Take the chicken out of the brine, pat it dry on paper towels. Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook, turn once mid-way, and cook for a total of 10 minutes. Transfer the grill marked chicken to a cookie sheet and then place in the oven. Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and then brush liberally, coating every inch of the legs with the barbecue sauce and then return to the oven for 25 to 30 more minutes, basting the chicken for a second time half way through remaining cooking time. Serve with extra sauce.

Blogging Marketplace Secures $7 Million Series B

Draper Fisher Jurvetson leads round and joins Board of Directors

ORLANDO, FL – (June 12, 2007) – PayPerPost, the leading marketplace for advertisers to reach bloggers and other consumer content creators, today announced it has completed a $7 million second round investment led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson, an investor in the company's Series A and one of the world’s leading high-technology venture capital firms. The financing brings the total amount of capital raised by PayPerPost to over $10 million, giving the company considerable resources for further development as the industry’s leading Consumer Generated Advertising marketplace. Additional participants in the round include existing investors Inflexion Partners and Village Ventures as well as new investor DFJ Gotham. With this investment, DFJ Managing Director Josh Stein also joins PayPerPost’s Board of Directors.

“PayPerPost created this exciting new advertising space and has established itself as the industry leader,” said Ted Murphy, chief executive officer of PayPerPost. “Although we’ve only used a portion of our first round capital, this added support from investors unlocks significant growth potential. Our content creator and advertiser ROI metrics clearly demonstrate the upside for PayPerPost’s model. We intend to use this capital to build the infrastructure, visibility and professional expertise necessary to reach and retain a greater network of advertisers and content creators than ever before.”

Since its founding in June of 2006, PayPerPost has signed more than 6,500 advertisers to its groundbreaking service, which has enabled Consumer Content Creators to be compensated for their efforts discussing specific companies, products or services via blogs, videos or other media. The content creators are required to disclose relationships with advertisers on their blog, providing transparency for the end reader. Over 125,000 Internet postings, most in the form of blogs, have already earned money for their creators through PayPerPost’s innovative marketplace. PayPerPost recently released PayPerPost Direct, a disruptive new service that allows advertisers to contract and negotiate directly with individual bloggers they identify through a safe, managed system.

“PayPerPost has laid a strong foundation for the future,” noted Tim Draper, founder and managing director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson. “It continues to attract a critical mass of participants from both the advertising and blogging communities. Analogous to Overture’s sponsored search model, we believe PayPerPost’s business model holds disruptive potential and will enable the company to thrive in the evolving paid-content arena.”

To mark the $7 million dollar funding, PayPerPost has launched a new website detailing the company’s service offering at http://www.payperpost.com. Bloggers and advertisers can easily sign up at the site and begin leveraging the self service marketplace.

Though she would usually never go down alone, this time she did. When she got to the basement, an octopus grabbed her. Though she attempted to scream, no one heard her as we were all asleep. Though she was exhausted, she finally broke its grip and got away. This night mare awakened her and needless to say at 3 AM I heard the scary story. See, never go in the basement alone at night.

Police

Hey all I was on the internet this afternoon and I came across a site that I just had to pass on to you all.
police cd is a site all about the awesome rock group The Police. I saw them in concert years ago and can still remember it so vividly. It was by far the best concert that I have ever attended. For those of you that have never seen them in concert, you are really missing a great show. They are one group that I would suggest everyone see a minimum of at least once. Go see them in concert more if the opportunity comes your way. As of yet I do not have tickets for their current tour as time is possibly preventing me from seeing them again. I am working on remedying that problem though. The first time I saw them I truly enjoyed the fact that they played so many songs that I knew and we all enjoyed singing along to them all.
police cd this new CD has such a great grouping of all their great songs.I remember singing along to so many of them at the concert that I attended years ago. It brings back so many great memories. For any of you out there who love The Police as much as I do, I strongly urge you to check out this CD and purchase. it will bring back all the great memories as it still does for me. Really guys, check it out. You will be sorry if you do not.
