@SandySparkles  Thank you Smiley Happy! My little chicken timers always make me smile- especially the one with minute and second blue eye buttons Smiley Very Happy.  The white chocolate lindt truffles are so delicious- and sometimes around Valentine's Day I can even find Neopolitan flavored Lindt truffles at Walgreens- white chocolate, milk chocolate and strawberry all in one truffle.  I love the classic milk and dark chocolate truffles too- so rich and fancy tasting! 



@SportyShorty07 Welcome back!🥰 We are SO bad and are going to have to start a support group; Lindt LindorTruffle Lovers United!😂😂😂😂 They are so good and decadent that you can only eat a few, but they are so enjoyable!😁

 

THANK you SO much for caring to revisit and share!🤗

 

~~~All we need is LOVE💖


@SandySparkles  I'll get some folding chairs in a circle for our Lindt Truffle support group! I'll show up to the Lindt support meetings, but I do not need help and I do not want to get better Smiley WinkSmiley LOL.  Oooh those Lindt truffles are so addictive- I always laugh at the commercials where a girl sits on her couch and takes the tiniest little bite of those.  Who eats Lindt truffles that way!? I put 2 to 3 of those in my mouth like a Hungry Hippos board game! Bring on the truffles, Sandy Sparkles! Smiley LOL



@SportyShorty07 Welcome back!🥰  😂😂😂😂 I CRACKED up @ Hungry Hungry Hippos! I have not thought of that game in MANY moons!!! Whew...that was funny!😂😂

 

THANK you SO much for revisiting and caring to share a chuckle!!!🤗

@SandySparkles - I use the terra cotta disc too! It's special because a respected and long-retired pastor's wife gave it to me when I visited them. She just came out of the kitchen with it when her husband and I were talking. I think someone had given it to her and she already had one. I had never heard of it, but every time I use my brown sugar I think of them, both gone now. 

 

 

One of my favorite tips:

 

 

 

Reheating pizza in a pan on the stove -  A while ago I read an article from a chef about this. I've used it ever since. You heat a skillet on medium heat then put the slice(s) in. After about a minute check the bottom to make sure it's not getting too brown. Put about 1-2 Tbsp.of water on the side of the pan away from the pizza, turn the heat to low, and cover the pan. When the water evaporates in about 1-2 minutes, your reheated pizza should be perfect.

 

 

 

I've actually started using this to reheat burgers and sandwiches too. They always turn out so well!   Smiley Happy



@beach-mom Welcome!🥰 I LOVE❤ this idea!!! I have always used the microwave and heat individual slices, but this SO much better! NO more soggy crust!!!😁

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share this VERY useful tip today!🤗

@SandySparkles  I'm glad that my post could make you laugh! I loved the Hungry Hippos board game as a kid- it was so much fun to play it and smash down the lever to get the hippos to eat!  Also, I bought the 10/21/2024 Lindt truffle 150 piece set! Thank you for encouraging me to buy it, everyone- I'm looking forward to my new reward treats for doing my chores Smiley Very Happy

Don't know if this counts..

 

I'm short..when mixing ingredients or using a hand mixer..I put the bowl in my kitchen sink..It is lower than my counters..So the height of the sink works great and it catches any splatters.



@Jo1313 Welcome!🥰 It ABSOLUTELY counts!😁 This is an excellent tip that I am certain other posters will find VERY helpful!❤

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share your tip this morning!🤗

@SandySparkles Me too, except mine is a terra cotta bear. Works like a charm.



@coffee drinker Welcome!🥰 I have seen the cute bears.😊

I was skeptical the first time I tried it many sunsets ago, and when it actually worked I was elated!😁
