Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: My husband Don is with the angels.....Our family was able to hold  ourselves together for the last moments.  Juar rhoufhr you might want to know. 2022-04-29, 23:35:15

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

                   APPETIZER & BEVERAGE HINTS

  • Try ½ cup of plain yogurt, 2 packages low-cal sweetener, and 2 tablespoons
    of vanilla mixed together for a cereal topping, a decorative dessert topping
    or an appetite appeaser.  It is also a good source of calcium.

  • For a quick low calorie dip, blend one 12-ounce carton of cottage cheese, 2
    tablespoons of lemon juice, and a desired amount of Good Season's Italian
    dry dressing.  Mix in blender until smooth and refrigerate until ready to use.

  •   Use pretzel sticks instead of toothpicks when serving cubes of cheese. 
    Stick one pretzel into your favorite cheese cube for added flavor and ease
    of handling.

  • For a crispy, novel sandwich, prepare sandwich with a filling that's not too
    moist.  Lightly butter the outside of both sides of the sandwich and bake in
    your waffle iron.

  • Nuts will come out of the shell in halves if soaked overnight in salt water
    before cracking.  After cracking black walnuts, let stand overnight and they
    can be removed from the shell more easily.

  • Keep unpopped popcorn in the freezer to help eliminate unpopped kernels.

  • Sprinkle popcorn lightly with warm water and let stand a few hours before
    popping.  The added moisture makes it pop better.

  • Slip plastic bags onto your hands when shaping popcorn balls.  They won't
    stick to your hands or burn them.

  • Rub a little butter over cheese that isn't to be used right away and it
    won't harden.

  • Spread a cored apple ring with cream cheese or peanut butter.  Top with a
    second cored apple ring.

  • Dip ends of carrot, celery or cucumbers sticks into softened cream cheese. 
    Sprinkle with minced parsley.

  • Combine 3 ounces cream cheese, softened, and 2½ ounces deviled ham. 
    Blend well.  Use to stuff bite-sized pieces of celery.

  • Tomato tempter:  Combine ¾ cup cold milk, ½ cup tomato-vegetable cocktail
    juice, ½ teaspoon Worchestershire sauce, and salt to taste.  Blend well. 
    Makes 1 serving.

  • Flavored milk drink:  Shake together ½ cup cold milk and ½ cup orange,
    prune or apple juice.  Pour into chilled glass.  Makes 1 serving.  Flavored milk
    also can be made with ½ cup unsweetened pineapple or grape juice and ½ cup
    cold milk.

  • For easy reference, tape the measurements and directions to the lids of
    containers of coffee, tea or rice.

  • For hot beverages, use freshy drawn cold water and boil as little as
    possible.

  • Make your Swiss Mocha drink by using 1 teaspoon instant coffee and 1
    teaspoon hot cocoa mix.  It's delicious.
