Well, time for me to go for a while...must cook BigDoms dinner...todays menu....Italian Roast beef, and Italian Sausge combo sandwiches, with green, red and hot peppers, au jus sauce, and Italian relish on top...of course, BigDom must have his big salad, before his regular meal...

BigDoms big salad....its a salad, really big enough for about 4 people, and must contain at least 12 ingredients..and the only permissable dressing is Italian olive oil, and various flavored vinegars....the Big Salad...
a BigDom requirement for fine dining...

I suggest simpler approach
go to local hardware store
ask for very inexpensive space heater
which is effective
and buy it
tell him you are internet addict, and just want to keep your tootsies warm while you post
and have room toasted up round you
Love, Palo

get simple one which has 3 settings, low, medium, high
research is not needed
let hardware storeman share his expertise with you

Thanks for the info...we shall have to make a trip out, and see what we can get, something safe is of course, the most important thing...I know that in the past, I have heard about space heaters causing fires...I know the one that we had was from Sunbeam(of course, because my dad worked there), and the one safety feature I really remember, is that if the space heater got knocked over, for whatever reason, it automatically shut off....

We shall have to look around....

[palo verde]

wow what a meal
fit for a king
you treat BigDom good!
that sounds delicious
what a yummy sandwich!
why can't he just have olive oil and vinegar over little bit of lettuce as side lol
that is how they served it in italian restaurants back in nyc

[palo verde]

I bought the small cheapie one man in hardware store recommended
it works like dream
if I accidentally knock it over, it shuts off too
I bet they all have that feature

[andysandmikesmom]

Well, I dont need an elaborate space heater, as its just for taking the chill out of the room, not for constant use, or the primary heat source...

I bet there are lots and lots of space heaters out there, and we will just look around, whenever we have some time....

The main thing that gets cold is my feet...and I hate to wear socks...always have...for some reason I feel like I am suffocating when I wear socks...even when I am up and about, I just hate to wear socks...

My mom was always cold, and wore two pairs of socks all the time...when she went to bed at night, she always wore socks, and then had me tuck her feet in tight, under the blankets....I could not sleep like that...then as her Alzheimers got worse, she insisted on wearing a knit wool hat to bed at night...

She used to see newborn babies, wearing those little knit hats, and the explanation given, was that heat leaves the body through the head, and keeping those little hats on babies, kept them warmer....so mom thought that would work for her as well....it never dawned on her, that babies, who had no hair, needed those little caps...mom always had a big head of thick curly hair....but talking to her was to no avail...

So at night, there she was, wearing a thick flannel nightie, with a heavy sweater, wearing 2 pairs of socks, and a thick wool hat on her head, and then covered over with 2 quilts...I dont know how she could sleep like that, but she did, and claimed she was quite comfy...to each their own, I always say...

Me, I rarely use more than one blanket ever, and sleep with my bare feet sticking out of the blankets...

But once I am up, that is when I feel cold....dang, my feet were frozen, but warmed up once I wrapped them up in a quilt...so now I feel like I am suffocating...should I have cold feet, or feel like I am suffocating....

I guess this space heater is the answer for me...

BigDom does not think much of salads served in restaurants....he always compares them to my own, and then he mumbles...I tell him to shut up, and have the soup instead...he can my BigSalads when we eat at home...

Altho, there was a restaurant near us, that did serve a really good salad...it had lots and lots of ingredients in it, and BigDom actually enjoyed it....

He can be so picky sometimes...

[lodwick]

BigDom feasts like a king indeed -
I'd weigh 400 lbs if I ate that much.
Of course, he's out there working his
butt off, so he needs the fuel.

Funny that today at the grocer, I
picked up roast beef and sausages also.

I don't know about Italian relishes;
but I know I didn't get twelve salad ingredients. ;-)

[palo verde]

lol me too
I won't wont wear sox either

[andysandmikesmom]

I really do have to go now, or else the Italian combo sandwiches, will not get made, and BigDom will mumble at me..he has to leave a little earlier than usual today, as he got paid last night(hooray, more shopping money), and has to go to the bank, and put some in there for bills, some for savings, some for my grocery shopping, some for my ebay fun buying, and his wad for his fun weekend up in Tacoma....

Hes going to some sort of Summer Free Concert in the Park with some entertainers, and he enjoys that...I am staying home, as I dont enjoy that type of thing...and altho he prefers I go with, he nonetheless is willing to go without me...so he will spend the weekend up in Tacoma, and return on Monday...leaving me with quiet, ,and not having to cook big dinners....

So I best be going for now, and see ya all later...

[andysandmikesmom]

One last thing before I go....He does not count the number of ingredients, nor do I...sometimes he may have only 10 or 11 ingredients.....but his ideal number is 12 ingredients...I dont know how he came up with that number, but there it is....

Hes an odd guy....

BigDom is a big eater...always has been, for as long as I have known him....the first time he ever came over to my parents house when we were dating, was for a Thanksgiving Dinner....he was on the thin side, and my mom just thought he was not a big eater...she could not believe how much he ate...he out ate my husky, giant, football player brother...

But he does have a very physical job, which he works 11 hours a day, so indeed, he does burn it off...of course, I also pack him the BigLunch for his middle of the night eating pleasure...The Biglunch description will be held for a later post...

my neighborhood in nyc was polish and italian
which meant that on my block the polish store made their sausages
the italian store made their sausages
they both made the sausages in the back
both stores invited my dog in and fed them titbits of tasty cold cuts
joey, the owner of my italian sausage store, married polish wife
(had beautiful kids)
he told me he also knows how to make kelbasa now
and if he had right machine, he could make kelbasa in back too

[palo verde]

joey, owner of my italian sausage store, was very nice guy
he was much older then me, when I was young bride living with Bill
he said ''how are you, annie''
I said I just had big fight with my husband
he said ''but making up is so sweet''

[palo verde]

his job is very tough, very physical
those mail sacks are heavy
I bet he loves his delicious supper and delicious lunch
when do we get report bout his lunch?

[lodwick]

I looked up kielbasa sausage and found this one made of turkey. From other sites, it seems that the kielbasa is in fact made from lean cuts of pork and sometimes veal is added in.

I must look for this on our next sausage occasion.

[palo verde]

space heaters are effective
mine has setting for low, medium, high
but medium and high are too hot
I keep mine on low and it toasts me up fine on very chilly winter mornings

[palo verde]

ones in packages are not as tasty as those homemade in polish sausage store
but try it and see if you like it
when I get back from swimmin' I will tell you the various ways my polish neighbors used it
the polish restaurants all fried it up with eggs as breakfast
but I have other tasty simple recipes I got from my neighbors
andysmom prolly knows more recipes than me
Chicago is famous for its kelbasa
(lol she made that earthy statement bout kelbasa)
(habs was sweet not to tease her bout it)
on my way to pool
c u all l8r
Love, Palo
