At this time of the year, Trader Joe's has them for around $3.99. Not a bad price.
We were telling our roomie about the pilfered babka and she said there was a Seinfeld show about babkas. Wouldn't you know it was on last night. I could only stand about 5 minutes of the show but my DH watched it.

As my wife calls it ( Stinefeld ) we don't watch that show.
A bunch of people that act like they are 9 or 10 year olds.

Another one is that Simpsons cartoon show! ...

DD watches all that stuff, and when she comes over, she flips off what we have playing and that's when Tina and her get into it!... Twisted Evil

From your mouth to God's ear. My DH always comes in the den when I am watching TV, looks at what is on and says "You don't want to watch that crap" or " are you into this?" then takes the remote and promptly starts flipping through the channels. What is even worse than that is when we are both watching TV and he falls asleep. He then turns the TV down so low I can't hear it and then tucks the control somewhere I can't touch it without waking him. I wonder if the cable company would charge to get a second remote?

The tv in the bedroom and the kitchen has the buttons on the side of the tv.

DW falls asleep, and the tv is so loud, but she tucks the cable remote under her pillow. I just sneak to the tv, and lower the volume a little at the time. If I go from 15 to 8 on the volume slide on screen, she wakes up bitching.
I told her she could bump butts with uncle Gabe...
At least with him, he has his own volume control that I rigged up on his table next to the chair, and two speakers. One on the table, and the other on the end table I think they call it. One for each deaf ear. He refuses to wear his brand new 13,000.00 hearing aids. He said they make him look stupid.
He don't want people seeing him with hearing aids in his ears. People????
What People???? we asked him. He said, All the women in his life!!
I said, yeah! The two cats.... gee gee and dolly!! Whats for Dinner in this December 2014? - Page 8 2876911673

My mother-in-law refused to wear her hearing aids too. "God doesn't want me to hear everything." was her excuse. I asked her if that's the case, does God want you to see everything, because you are wearing glasses! She didn't think it was funny!

Dane thought of a meal idea for once that I agreed with! I was amazed (by Mr. Amazing's suggestion).

This is what Mom always called a New England Boiled Dinner ~ and yet I still cannot figure out why...

Smoked Sausage, cabbage, onions, carrots, beans & potatoes, simmered together until tender and all flavored by the sausage.

Cataracts are not removed by anything that burns. I think he has it confused with Lasix surgery. You might want to let him know.

We did TRY and explain it several times....but he keeps saying, it's my eye's and not theirs.... He say's they won't give me stronger glasses either, because they want to make money doing that new fangled surgery.

He needs to see a urologist and has renal failure also, but he refuses to see one.
He barely went to the podiatrist for new diabetic shoes, and he said he needs shoes. He complained and carried on because they did not have the shoes when they measured him. Finally, the shoes came in, and guess what??
He won't wear the shoes. They sit brand new in his room. He said...the old shoes are still good, and they have to get worn down more before he wears the new ones. The old ones are way too small. Bought in 1975.

He had a Dr appointment, and he said the new shoes were too stiff. I told him to wear them for like 4 hours a day, and they will get broken in. He walks in bedroom slippers, and they are no support what so ever. It's a No Win situation.

Tonight for supper, Tina bought me a Corned beef sammich on a soft roll. It hit the spot.
Tina had a frozen Marie Callenders beef patty with mashed potato and gravy.

Gabe had a ham and swiss on rye, and sweet potato tater tots.

I just got a local company smoked beef sausage - as opposed to the national brands of Echrich, Hillshire, etc. I prefer a courser grind than I've been able to find with the national brands.

All I did was put the vegetables & cut sausage in a Dutch oven, added about 1" of water and let it simmer until all the vegetables were tender. The sausage usually gets poked a few times to release the fat (and flavor) into the water. The only seasoning I added was a little salt & pepper.

Easy.

You know what? I learned something.
When Tina gets the sausage at the restaurant supply in Pa. where they make it fresh, The price per pound is More for the Course Grind, that the fine grind.

I said, that is not right! ..... She said,"The fine grind is cheaper, because they can add more cheaper cuts and more fat fillers, and it is all ground where one cannot tell what is in the sausage. The course is ALL PORK or BEEF and one can see the quality of the meat used.

When Tina made Italian sausage in the meat room, she said she ground the fat separate from the basic pork meat, and then mixed it per company recipe!

Out here, very few stores (supermarkets) make their own sausages. It is all pre-packaged.

With Kielbasi, we don't like the course grind. We prefer the fine grind.
Luckily Tina found a great butcher shoppe that makes the purest and best tasting kielbasi we had ever tasted. No grizzle or chunks of fat.

That sausage really looks good that you made Beth!

OOooooo!!! Love the looks of that sloppy Joe! We had them the other night.
How do you make yours Beth....
We had what we call "Donna's Sloppy Joes"..... Beef browned with the onion and a few minced peppers pieces.... Throw in a can of Tomato soup, stir and let sit for 10 minutes. No heat!...then Eat!!

Now, talk about getting old and losing it! My cousin Donna called me the other night, and I said,"Hey Donna, we are having your "Sloppy Joes" for supper!"
She said,"Holy "S"...Jimmy, and we are having "Manwich" sloppy Joes!"
She said,"Would you believe, I forgot how the heck I made those sloppy Joes with the tomato soup; and I used to cook them all the time!"

OMG that was so funny!!!

Growing up in Pennsylvania, we called them "Wimpies"....

I /we never heard of them called "Sloppy Joes" until we were in the service.

There are recipes out there using Heinz Chli Sauce, and katchup, but sometimes that is way too sweet. The Heinz Chili Sauce is sweet enough without adding ketchup, and some with brown sugar!
A little sweet is ok!

I told 'him' I didn't have a clue what to fix for supper. He wants KFC. Yuck.

But, I'll get him the KFC and I'll find something else for me. I know I have the salad I forgot to take out of the refrigerator last night. Maybe I'll make a sandwich. Who knows?

I went out for a late lunch/early supper with my sister. This going out is becoming a habit. We went to a local nice Italian restaurant. We each had some delish bacon wrapped huge scallops and a salad.

We're both trying to cut down on potion sizes, and this was great. That particular restaurant used to have such huge portions that everyone took stuff home. They seem to have downsized their portions, so I am not tempted to eat too much.

Thanks Beth!.... I have this recipe you gave all a while ago on the c.c offshoot forum. Problem is, it's on the old old tucked in the corner of the spare room computer.
I am gonna save and print it this time, and stick it in one of Tina's recipe books / folders. pale

Tina made me an egg omelet with onions and cheese.
Instead of toast, I asked for those Pillsbury little rolls in the 10 pack.
I ate 5 with the eggs, and then the remaining 5 with butter & grape jam; as my dessert!
Hey, they are little two bites they're gone rolls.

Tina had a cheese and chili omelet. No bread or rolls!
I do not know how she can eat eggs with no bread or toast. Every bite of egg I eat, HAS TO have a piece of bread or toast to chew with it.
