    Which method do you prefer? šŸ˜‰

    To me, a perfect hot dog should be cooked on a long stick, over a small campfire, and eaten with some black on the outside, and cooked until the edges crack a little bit. It should be on a hot dog bun that has also been draped over the stick and toasted just a little over the fire to warm it...

    The Starch Solution for losing weight.

    The ice cream turned out delicious. You can taste the texture of oats, but it is not unpleasant all all, since lots of ice cream flavors have bits of cookie and such in them. My husband ate his and declared that it was delicious, too ! Since he is a big meat eater and does not get a lot of...

    The Starch Solution for losing weight.

    There is no cooking, assuming that you are using canned beans. I might have used a bit more of the cocoa powder than in the recipe, so just add that and the sweetener to your taste. I think the dates add a lot and help thicken it, too. It is so rich that just a little bit is satisfying and...

    The Starch Solution for losing weight.

    I am still doing mostly plant-based, but my energy went down a lot; so I added in some non-fat dairy cottage cheese and yogurt, and that seems to have helped. I am happy with what i am eating, and getting full a lot faster now. Losing weight, but very slowly, which is pretty much what I...

    Tell Us About Your Coffee!

    I am just using a single cup coffee maker and mostly just have 1-2 cups first thing in the morning, but in the summer, I also make iced coffee sometimes, and I use instant coffee for that because it is simple and fast to make that way. I miss having a percolator, and have been really thinking...

    I'm an outcast and all alone...

    I enjoy the benefits from my smartphone and other devices, so I I definitely would not be giving them up unless necessary. However, I have an iPhone and use only Apple devices, so I do not get all the problems that people have mentioned having with google or android. My Apple Watch monitors all...

    There are many drawbacks to being a tech illiterate

    Sometimes, just doing a restart will fix an error that you don’t know how you made. I have had my keyboard do weird things occasionally, or just stop typing. I know it has to be some key that I accidentally pushed and didn’t rreaile it, but I have no clue which key it was or why it did it. When...

    My computer's audio output suddenly quit

    Do you have Bluetooth on your computer ? If so, you could try using bluetooth headphones and see if those will work maybe. If the problem is with the output connection, then wireless headphones might fix the problem.

    How do You Pay for a dental service through a Medicare Advantage Plan?

    I think it depends from one insurance company to another, and can also change from year to year in the same plan. We have Devoted Medical, and last year, they gave us a card that was for both Dental and Vision. We have not used it this year, but I think now, yo just give the dentist your...

    The Starch Solution for losing weight.

    Here is the recipe for the bean pudding. It is simple to make, and is so rich tasting. I didn’t eat anymore last night, so I had a bit more this morning with some banana, and that was really good. Today is day two of SS diet and I am making a pot of white beans and vegetables soup for today...

    The Starch Solution for losing weight.

    Here is a recipe for a ā€œchocolate puddingā€ made with beans. I know it does not sound like a pudding, but it is actually delicious ! I tried making some. This lady (Stasia ) chatters and advertises her ebooks, so the actual recipe is about 8 minutes into the video. However, I listened to the...

    The Starch Solution for losing weight.

    I am pretty new to making gazpacho, @StarSong ; but I think you can add about any kind of veggies you want. It is basically the idea of chopped up fresh veggies in a tomato juice base, from what I can see. I always think of soups as a hot food, but to me, this is kind of like a spoonable salsa...

    The Starch Solution for losing weight.

    Once again, starting with the Starch Solution Diet. It was a long and cold winter, I am 81, and I spent most of the winter bundled up in a warm blanket and sitting in my recliner and reading or knitting. Now, it is spring, and I want to lose some of the weight I gained over the winter, stop the...

    Plane hits a fire truck on NYC airport runway

    There was a procession of several fire trucks or emergency vehicles, and you can see them in the video. First, they were given permission to cross, and then they were told to stop…. Repeatedly ! ……and they all stopped except for the first fire truck. It is not clear if he didn’t hear the...
