Think your the one who got the electric mandoline slicer same time I did ?

There's 2 'bees' in here.

Anyway, last night when they was showing that pull and chop I thought why would anybody use that little thing and have to pull back and forth on that string that would probably jam and tangle when they could get what we got

I am lovin' mine. Makes short work of making cole slaw. Have to slice up green and red cabbage, carrots, radishes would take hrs. with anything else

One of my better purchases !

Hey Sharke- Having trouble posting getting that authentication message. Yep- have the mandolin or had. My friend that helps me and provides transportation really wanted one and needed kitchen items. Have not had chance to get another. When our Audi's open they had one of the small pull things. Got one to use to chop onions when needed a small amount. That pull cord if it got wet and didn't use a blow dryer to dry it would collect odors and mold. Got tired of pulling on the cord and trying to keep it clean so went in the trash and glad just paid $3.Southern Bee

For what it's worth, although I've had pull-and-chop units in the past that didn't do a great job, the Kuhn Rikon version sold at QVC (and a few other retailers) is sturdy and produces amazing results; I have two and have gifted a couple as well. In fact, I used mine yesterday to chop carrots and celery for a pasta salad and again today to turn cooked chicken chunks into shreds for enchiladas.

@SouthernBee you might want to wait till you get a 20% off coupon from HSN or I have seen them at Tues morning too, but, only in black.

I got red you know..

Don't you go giving away all your pretties, now ! LOL

Re: @Southern Bee

@SharkE : Thank you for the reminder about the coupon. I had ordered the red. I usually hold tight to my kitchen toys. Friend has had a difficult year and dealing with so many issues. When she provides transportation- I pay her and treat her to lunch- she usually refuses but I insist. Last Friday we went to lunch and spent several hours in Hobby Lobby- wow had 50% off Christmas items. So much fun and giggles. She helped me find items for a project that I want to do for three of the church shut -ins that are 10 years older than me. Found beautiful baskets and gift bags. Trying to finish Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving. Southern Bee

yeah, she sounds like a keeper. If we can find anybody to lend us a hand in our 'old' age we better keep 'em.

I'm recovering from cataract surgery and had astigmatism correction done. .First eye on 10-29th and 2nd Nov 5th. Going thru that eye drop stuff 3 times a day for 21 days.

no more reaching and having to clean eye glaases every whipstitch ! That's history for me. I have the eyes of a 30 yr old now. I had to pay out of pocket for the astigmatism correction Medicare won't pay for it just want you to buy glasses and live with it. I paid the 1600 for the extra procedure. Medicare will cover the cataract end of it. Haven't got my bill yet, but, pretty sure they and the supplement will pick up the cataract end of it.

husband did all the driving why I put it off till he retired. Didn't want to call Uber hahahah if there is even Uber vailable in my town. I donated 30 pair of reading glasses to Sam's Club they give to LIons club to give to the people who can't afford glasses.

@SharkE : 💐💐💐- Please forgive me- I forgot about your surgery. I know you are relieved to have it done and on the road to recovery. I had eye surgery age 4 to correct a turn in eye. Doctor surprised that I have multiple stigmatism. Still very blessed. Never really comfortable driving because of eye issues and not able to judge distance and never really drove at night. Always very nervous when trying to drive and have not driven in over 16 years. I willingly handed over the car keys when the eye doctor told me to stop. Seeing everything more clear and details?

oh wow ! your in a bad way. I drove myself to walmart (10 minutes away)

Thurs to get back on schedule and to lose husband hahahhaha. Put on

my Roy Orbison glasses to keep the sun glare down. Hadn't been to Walmart since before the 10-29th first eye. Husband had drove me to

United and turned me loose, but, I was anxious to get back to Walmart he

won't go there LOL

Trying to find Pillsbury place and bake new brownies my sister up in Ind

told me about. She said they're in the butter, biscuit, cookie area, but, we don't have them yet, of course, in Tx. She's in Ind. She said "those brownies are delicious " and ate 4 of them in one sitting.

You separate them and put in muffin paper then put in muffin cups and bake

guess I'll have to wait till they hit around here.

@SharkE : You better behave and be careful cause Santa making his list you know the naughty or not😁 . Thanks for the brownie information and will look for them- I like anything that is quick and ez. Cold and rainy here and just made a big pot of vegetable beef soup. Put a hen in the instant pot. I will shred it and put it in my dressing. Will be making the dressing this afternoon. I always make enough for Thanksgiving and Christmas and put it in the freezer.Southern Bee

Re: @Southern Bee

SharkE — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 17:54:36 GMT

That instant pot cooks to fast for me. It's hard to gauge how long to cook something. I use it on occasion, but, like just a regular pressure cooker more

Just what I'm used too I guess.

Down here in Tx all they make is that ol' cornbread dressing. I can eat it, but, like my country way of doing it better with stale bread. Found a recipe long time ago in Taste of Home magazine back when it was a good magazine. I still take it, but, like when they used to have pictures and recipes together and you just cut them out. Husband won't eat dressing any way. sigh..............all he wants is meat and cole slaw.

I forgot to answer your question about my 'new' eyesight it's getting stronger everyday ! Now, I can see the caller ID on the phone without reaching for glasses, when I went to walmart Thurs I didn't have to rummage thru my bag hunting for my glasses to read information on the bags and could read labels. Threw all my glasses out. Only thing I can't see real well is tiny, tiny print like at the bottom of coupons, but, then , nobody can. So glad I paid extra for astigmatism correction ! I may

have to go get readers after the dust settles or just go back to cheap stores and get those cheapie readers if I don't want to pay for professional grade.

Re: @Southern Bee

SouthernBee — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 18:07:51 GMT

My Mother and Bigmama always made the cornbread dressing and I have never really tried anything else. I cannot eat sage and don't put it in my dressing.

Really loved the old Taste of Home magazine and decided to try it again last year and very disappointed and not tempted with any of the recipes.

That is great news about your eyesight. Hate glasses but are a necessity for me not complaining and blessed that I can 👀👀👀. Southern Bee
