Granny's gone and done it again

She makes cakes from scratch not a box?

I use the recipe that was on the box years ago. I don't know if it still is. I try to cook most of our food from scratch not a box. If I can't pronounce the ingredients I don't want to eat it. We grow a lot of our on food and buy what we don't grow fresh from the farmers market when we can. I don't cook fancy, but it's good and good for you.

It's going to get worse.

Why do you think that? It can’t get worse than it already is.

2.5 cola increase this Jan. Better than none I guess.

Good to hear! Busy body huh? I always heard that was someone that liked to be in other peoples business!! Hahaha I know you didn't mean it that way. Something I will never be. Wish I was though

Yes but what we pay for Medicare b went up
so no raise for me. They automatically deduct it from your SS

 

[h2oratt]

I thought that was nixed in the final bill. If it did get through, that literally sucks.

I hope you are right. Can’t imagine having a job where I can vote myself that large of a raise.

You are going to go blind if you keep going the way you are going....or worse.

Sorry to be blunt, but that came from my husband who is sitting next to me. He is a retired eye doctor.

One of our patients was a young man, strapping, strong, smart, handsome and happily married. His last eye exam showed advancing AMD from diabetes. He admitted that he didn't take his diabetes seriously either. He was told that was obvious.

It's up to you and not too late to start now. Pls?

Oh wow that’s sad!!! And I will definitely start!!!!!

Big boxes of what, Granny?


This is how I feel about beets. I just can't beets. <shudder>. As for the peas, did you eat canned or frozen? Canned are .... mushy, over salted and have all the flavor cooked out of them. Very much not good. Try frozen and put them in just a little water and just get them hot. They'll taste just like fresh, SOOO much better than canned!

They were frozen. Still sucked lol

Trail mix can be healthy

True!!!!! But this has peanut butter drops and chocolate drops and m n ms and raisins

I found confusing info.

What are the negatives of canola oil?


Canola oil is extremely unstable under heat, light and pressure, which causes oxidation and releases free radicals inside the body. When canola oil is heated (aka. when we cook with it), it produces high levels of butadiene, benzene, acrolein, formaldehyde and other nasty compounds.Jun 8, 2020

On the other hand, however:

Does canola oil raise your cholesterol?

Although care must be taken in handling and processing of canola oil and other vegetable oils, canola oil is a safe and healthy form of fat that will reduce blood LDL cholesterol levels and heart disease risk compared to carbohydrates or saturated fats such as found in beef tallow or butter.Apr 13, 2015

All vegetable oil is bad. And eating good fat does not raise your cholesterol

It's going to get worse.

Things have already gotten better here. Gasoline hasn’t been this low for years. Of course our idiot governor wants to slap another 50 cent a gallon tax on it he is an idiot.

Big boxes of what, Granny?

instant pudding.

Trail mix can be healthy

Toasted nuts (pecans, walnuuts), "raw" cashews, raisins, peanuts, chopped dates, whatever other dried fruits you may wish. NO candies of any kind.

All vegetable oil is bad.

Including olive oil?

I love these @ShrekDawg And you can make them POP in your mouth so they are also fun to eat. However they are like $2.00 a can.
