s putting leftovers into the fridge a useless endeavor? New research shows the majority of leftovers Americans cook winds up in the trash uneaten. It’s not for lack of trying however, according to the new study. In fact, 61 percent say they always refrigerate their leftovers, but never get around to eating them.

This is for mature citizens because the younger generation wouldn't understand it. Words used before 'R' rated movies. Heavens to Murgatroyd! Would you believe the email spell checker did not recognize the word "Murgatroyd"? Lost Words from our childhood: Words gone as fast as the buggy whip! Sad really! The other day a not-so-elderly (65) lady said something to her son about driving a "jalopy" and he looked at her quizzically and said, “What the heck is a jalopy?” OMG (new) phrase! He never heard of the word jalopy!! She knew she was old but not that old. Well, I...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) posted a video on its website to tell Americans that they should think about how much food they waste during the holiday season if they want to help save the planet. The video is part of the EPA's "Fight Food Waste" campaign. In the video posted on YouTube and in the text accompanying it, EPA claims that food waste contributes to climate change. [...] "Once in landfills, food breaks down to produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas which contributes to climate change," the text states. "So, this holiday season, take steps to cut down your...

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving, and is now enjoying plenty of leftovers! We took the advice of 'boatbums', and did a dry brine for the first time - just salt. It turned out wonderfully, despite a near disaster. We began with a fresh turkey, and my husband salted it a few days ahead, dried the turkey naked in the fridge overnight, and started it in the oven at 450 degrees on The Day. A couple of hours later, the probe thermometer went off, and we stared at each other: something was wrong, and there was no way the...

Widely publicized study data reported by clickbait sites as evidence that Apple Watch sales have "plunged" and "are tanking" actually shows something completely different: that Apple has launched the most successful smartwatch product by a vast margin. Apple hasn't yet given any figures on Apple Watch sales (after noting last year that it would not be publishing unit sales of the new device in its quarterly earnings reports), but Slice Intelligence compiled some questionable figures from "e-receipt" data it gleaned from a large group of consumers who volunteer to share their purchasing information. Slice obtains much of its consumer data...

Dear Friend, You can hardly turn the television on or read the news without encountering a Catholic bishop, a conservative talk show host or a reactionary politician proclaiming that America is experiencing a "war on religion." They should know, because they're the ones waging it. Religious extremists are doing everything in their power to destroy the wall between church and state. They are stirring up sympathy by yelling from the rooftops about religious freedom, while their real goal is to use the power of the government to impose their narrow-minded beliefs on the rest of us. America is one of...

The number of illnesses connected to the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Syracuse is now up to more than 600. Initial complaints came from people who ate at the restaurant either last Friday or Saturday night.

Happy Thanksgiving! Got Leftovers???God Bless America!Only in a great country like ours can we enjoy the blessings of freedom, prosperity, abundance, and still have leftovers... LOL If your home is anything like ours, can you eat all day, and into the night, leave a tidy some of food, (like that G'dawful gooey cranberry stuff) and still have more food than what you had before you started. Look at your refrigerator, is it any room left... well is there??? LOL Here are some suggestions for that Turkey and trimmings that are still around!.....

Burp....scuze me, please pass the green bean casserole...WHAT? IT's GONE!??? Aunt Sherry TOOK IT?? Well gang, if you're a typical family and either hosted a party last night or today or went to the party, then you have two differing dilemmas. If you hosted the part, chances are good you have a fridge full of leftovers; enough to feed a small army or a couple of teenagers. If you attended a party, then did you sneek a bowl of broccoli and cheeze or some turkey for a sandwich. When you got home, was there a sense of 'emptiness' in YOUR...

As I was using up some of our last dozen canned vegetables, I remembered all the threads prior to Y2K. People were stockpiling all kinds of stuff. I remember someone posting that they had 500 rolls of toilet paper in an outdoor shed. So I thought it might be fun to see who still has any Y2K leftovers and maybe share creative ways we are using them up. Speaking for our house, the canned vegetables have come in handy as we like stews and homemade soups. About a dozen cans is all we have left. Did you have leftovers you...
