Hi Mama Baird. I love watching your food bank hauls, and what you do with some of the food. I thought I would just say a word or two about your persimmons. What you actually got are Sharon Fruit. I used to get confused because some places sold Sharon Fruit and some sold Persimmons, and I thought they were the same thing, but I was wrong. They are from the same family, but Persimmons are longer and a bit thinner as well as being a little sharper in taste, and the Sharon fruit are a bit more round and not as long, they are also usually quite a bit sweeter. In my local supermarket the Sharon fruit are almost always a few pennies more expensive £1.50 for 3 and the Persimmons are £1.29 for 3. We are only able to get them for a few weeks every year, which is a shame as the Sharon fruit is my favourite fruit. I hope you liked them.
Much love and respect from the South East of England. xx
I love watching your videos it's so beautiful where you live😊
I just found your channel! You are a delight to watch. It's like watching my Mom teaching me how to cook in my teenage years. Or myself in my first apartment in college. The tomato trick works if you use flat plates. Personally I use the flat sides of two large plastic lids (coffee can size) because 1) the lip on them makes it easier to hold in place and 2) I avoid dulling my knife by scraping against the top and bottom of my plates. Oxo brand makes a device that slices 5-7 at a time too, but that is simply too few tomatoes at a go. Thank you for having your channel. I'll be a regular now waiting for my next notification 😉.
It was a holiday tradition for mom to get us kids a pomegranate. No specific day, but I'm sure they were on sale lol!
The kids are all just lovely, aren't they? Nice manners and very sweet. I always love how Gid just does his thing as he's fully confident in his family's love.
First thing to remember with your turkey is take the neck and giblets out. They're in a little bag inside the cavity. You can look up recipes to use the weird bits to make stock and gravy if you're not into eating those bits. The bird will cook faster if you don't stuff it. It will still take longer than you think. And you'll have less anxiety about if it's done if you do the stuffing/dressing separately. Using instant stuff is not a crime. There's only so much one person can do in the kitchen on their own. Instant mashed potatoes are real potatoes with real butter and milk, just no elbow grease. And what people don't know won't hurt you. Just sayin. If you're cooking for a crowd get them to bring the sides and dessert. That'll take some pressure off you since you're dealing with the bird. Also set the table the night before so you don't have to deal with that. Wine, in moderation, is your friend. Good luck with your first turkey. It'll be awesome and you'll be very proud of yourself once it's done!
Just a round saucer or two cottage cheese lids and the tomato trim works very well
I often throw some minced carrots, celery and onion in my rice pilaf kind of dishes, whether from a mix or scratch. And top with some spring onion if I have it. Adds some color and flavor. Probably a little bell pepper would be good too. I just quarter the tiny tomatoes and call it good. Glad your foodbank gets such a variety. That must be so helpful to people in your area. Hopefully they all watch you and either learn how to preserve things or send you tips because they have skills too. Keep doing what you're doing!
I'm sad, I couldn't get the coupon code to work on the Amazon knife ordering 😢
It does work just use plastic lids as off cool whip and yes it works!
Oooo i may get that knife mama baird pretty tempting lol elk omg thats awesome! Lol to ur giggity joke i couldnt hold my laugh in lol
Yummy dinner. Great ideas to make your own rice dish. Thx Carolina❤
The creamer is sooooo good! You can also find the flavors unsweetened also.
Carolina, if those persimmons are hard, they have to be completely ripe, very ripe before being able to eat them. You can make persimmon bread or cookies, look up a recipe, I think you will need at least a whole cup of the soft fruit. Maybe more. Let them sit a few days in a warm spot, or window sill.
Our town food bank wont accept past date food. Last I knew meat was a rarity usually only turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas and Ham on Easter. Bread can be picked up at the senior center in town on Tuesdays. Fresh veggies are at a premium donated by a local farm during growing season . There is another food program you have to call monthly if you can get through and get on the list that will deliver a package to your home you might get a package of some meat, cheese and eggs from that one they also help with christmas and furniture if you qualify. But we dont have anything like what you have. Ive been told Salvation Army has a program where you can fill a bag of food from their office for a small donation I was told under $5
Looks tasty. Have a blessed weekend 😊
the plates need to be flat…………….I do this, it really works
Homemade rice a roni
❤ it😊
Hi Carlina. Awesome veggies ❤
Now i am craving salad, going to the store tomorrow for salad stuff! Thanks for a great video
Your plates have to be perfectly flat, you can use 2 cutting boards
Our food bank won't let us donate wild game meat which is sad because we have an abundance and would love to donate some. We dontate other items to help
