Fun on the Web Feb 26 2014 Organize

Now there are people who think I am organized because I do so many things but others who know the real me have seen how I can let things spin out of control. When that happens the organized facade goes out the window. I am always looking for new ways to get organized.

I keep a To Do List. Mine is just a piece of paper which I cross off as I get things done. Sometimes items from one To Do List end up on the next To Do List. Here is a more structured one you can print out:
http://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com/2013/09/bounce_back_to_do_list/

I have my own packing list modified over the years but here is a good general start
http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/family/travel/packing-list
http://www.familyvacationcritic.com/family-packing-list/art/
http://www.onebag.com/checklist.html

This creates one based on your answers to questions
http://upl.codeq.info/

This does too but requests you log in
http://www.packwhiz.com/

My printable version is here:
http://fun-on-the-web.blogspot.com/2008/05/fun-on-web-january-2-2008.html


My new years resolution was to keep up my e-calendar more. Still working on that process:

Fun on the Web Feb 25 2014 Cooking Basics

Right now I am reading "Heat" by Bill Buford who starts his fascinating adventure cooking by inviting Mario Batali to dinner. His wife says "What in the world were you thinking of, inviting a famous chef to our apartment for dinner?"But it was a birthday dinner and Batali was a friend of the birthday boy so it was on.

Batali is rarely invited but is a gracious guest and most enthusiastic about helping. I understand he helped finish the dinner, wash up and even swept the floor. All the while plying the guest with treats and Grappa until one lady fell over the couch when he asked her to salsa with him!

After this dinner (which lasted until three in the morning), Bill embarked on his adventure of three years; working his way up from kitchen slave to line cook to pasta maker to apprentice. It's an amusing read but I wouldn't suggest accomplishing this in order to learn to cook. Instead why don't you try learning techniques from some of the following websites:
http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/culinaryfundamentals/u/tutorials.htm
http://www.cooks.com/rec/story/technique/
http://allrecipes.com/video/main.aspx
http://www.jamieoliver.com/videos


or just try some of these quick, easy recipes . . .people will still think you slaved away in the kitchen

http://www.goodshomedesign.com/slow-cooker-melted-chocolate-tutorial/
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/11budget-friendly-tips-to-stock-your-pantry-for-the-holidays.html

In my house the pantry is always stocked with the standard: ketchup, ground mustard, pickles, soy sauce, olive oil, vegetable oil, flour, sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, baking soda, baking powder, balsamic (and other vinegars), Worchestershire, salad dressings, croutons, tortilla chips, salsa, but also I will have Better than Bullion (Beef, Chicken, and whatever other flavors you can find), capers, dilly beans, pickled brussel sprouts, V8 (because I use it for Bloody Marys, canned soups (Tomato, Cream of Mushroom, chicken broth, and Onion are ingredients), sesame oil, oyster sauce, real bacon bits, pickle relish, chili sauce, teriyaki, corn starch, Wondra brand flour in a shaker can, and an amazing array of spices.

In my house cheeses live in the fridge including parmesan, romano and asiago to grate. (No green canisters, please). Lemon juice, eggs, butter, and milk are all standard. Once opened many pantry items can get along nicely in the fridge for long periods: sesame oil, capers, olives, pickles etc. I would love to have room for a bread box but often must resort to the fridge (which dries bread out).

Fun on the Web Feb 24 2014 JEWELRY CLEANER

NEVER BUY JEWELRY CLEANER AGAIN!

1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon dish detergent
1 cup water
1 piece aluminum foil

Directions:
1. Heat water in the microwave for 1 or 2 minutes.
2. Cut a piece of aluminum foil that roughly covers the bottom of a small bowl (like a cereal bowl).
3. Pour hot water into bowl. Place salt, soda, and dishwashing liquid into bowl. Place jewelry on top of foil and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse jewelry in cool water and dry jewelry completely with soft cloth. Discard solution after use and make a new batch next time.
4. According to wire-sculpture.com, "this works well for gold-filled, brass, german (nickel) silver, and sterling silver. I have even cleaned jewelry with freshwater pearls, shell cameos and mother of pearl with no problem.".

Fun on the Web Feb 23 2014 Couponing and Freebies

Do you coupon? I don't always anymore but this Diet Coke deal caught my eye as did the FREE ibuprofen.
http://mojosavings.com/cheap-mms-coke-products-target/

Free ibuprofen with this coupon

you may want to check http://www.allthingstarget.com/ before you go since she usually posts the free items on Sunday and tells where to get the coupons for them often with a link to the coupon

This one has the ad posted online and a coupon database 


Interesting article about more savings at Target with links to more coupons

This is for online purchases only


Not Target but have you ever seen Coupon Previews so you know what is coming if you are planning a Sunday shopping you can grab the coupon before you go instead of seeing it later


There are match ups for CVS
http://www.pennypinchinmom.com/cvs-weekly-deals/

and Walgreens
http://www.pennypinchinmom.com/walgreens-weekly-deals/

Do you wonder how the extreme coupon people do it? They have a system. They also take everything they CAN get and trade or donate what they don't want or need.
http://www.livingrichlyonabudget.com/extreme-couponers-blogs
http://www.pennypinchinmom.com/getting-started-on-penny-pinchin-mom/how-to-use-your-coupons/
http://www.pennypinchinmom.com/coupon-101-from-beginner-to-expert/

Here is a step by step on how to get started
http://www.livingrichwithcoupons.com/beginners/extreme-couponing-101

May of these chains are not in my area but having the national ads in one place to link to is an amazing time saver for me. I don't get a paper so I print coupons based on what sales are out there and what I use.
http://www.consumerqueen.com/coupons-2/sunday-ads


You have to be willing to add some apps and print some coupons. This is my favorite site for that:

Fun on the Web Feb 17 2014 Yum

While most of us know about In and Out and Five Guys there are many more treasures out there for small chain restaurants. Personally, I am found of Portillos with one in Indiana, most of them in Illinois, two a piece in California, and Arizona I have to get my fix in Illinois when I am there. Fortunately, right now, I am there pretty often. Make sure to try the chocolate cake or take a piece to go.  http://www.portillos.com/

I love news aggregates but this one collects scientific discoveries
http://www.newser.com/tag/2995/1/discoveries.html

They also have categories for 2014 Olympics, politic, money, US World, etc and with its grid fashion show a picture and headline gives you a bigger grasp of amazing stories in a glance.

While you are at it looking at pictures, there is a site called amazingly timed photos for obvious reasons.

Fun on the Web Feb 10 2014 Watching Olympics

Just disgusted since NBC will only let me watch 30 minutes the first day and 5 minutes a day after that (including commercials) on http://www.nbcolympics.com/

Past games videos are here http://www.olympic.org/olympic-games

Look at schedule http://www.bbc.com/sport/winter-olympics/2014/schedule

Convert time zones http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

Warning NEVER, EVER download toolbars that promise you anything without researching them in a search engine FIRST. Go to Google and put the name in the search bar, scan down, pick a few results, and read what the reviews have to say. If you see malware or virus mention run away fast close without clicking anything but the x in the right hand corner.

As you may know I have joined the group who has cut the cord and even gone a step further I got rid of the TV's! So I have been searching around and found the following articles on how to watch online:
http://www.wikihow.com/Watch-the-Olympics-Online
http://www.forbes.com/sites/amadoudiallo/2014/02/01/how-to-watch-the-sochi-olympics-without-a-cable-bill/

http://www.reddit.com/r/baconreader/comments/1xj9tj/

Anyone else have ideas how to do this let me know at bluesbaby.us@gmail.com Thanks!

Okay so its been 9 years plus since I moved from Milwaukee and I have found that not all cities are created equal. Madison has lots of places but these are the Milwaukee ones I have not found replacements for:

http://www.benjisdeliandrestaurant.com/
http://www.bunzels.com/deli/index.asp#lunch
http://www.kopps.com/
http://www.mcbobs.com/main.html
http://www.sollysgrille.com/
http://speedqueenbbq.com/

My friends keep telling me about http://www.ashleysbarbque.webs.com/
and my son likes Dickeys http://www.dickeys.com/
I am a fan of http://www.famousdaves.com/

I also miss the bakeries. While people rave over Pretzillas  http://pretzilla.com/ made by Millers Bakery. It is now a wholesale business and I want Millers iconic rye bread. That is part of the experience at Benjis Deli or you can get it at Sentry in Delafield or Sendiks grocery stores around Milwaukee so I get some from time to time.

This time of year Paczki (pronounced punch - key) is a Polish tradition before Lent
http://www.nationalbakery.com/
But you can also get them here http://grebesbakery.com/

Ooo and we have great Italian Bakeries in Milwaukee too
http://www.petersciortinosbakery.com/
http://www.scordatobakery.com/
http://www.canforabakeryinc.com/

MMM and the Italian Market for all the antipasti, meats, and specialty cheese
http://www.gloriosos.com/

If you move away from home maybe this site can help you find a taste of home. You can search by region, state, or flavors (like ice cream, ribs.

Fun on the Web Feb 6 2014 Mercury Retrograde

OK so I saw this article on Mercury Retrograde on Facebook which although date applies whenever Mercury is Retrograde;
www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-schwimmer/top-10-things-not-to-do-d_b_4133136.html

So then I asked myself when Mercury is retrograde? Well actually it is in the intensive pre-shadow phase right now before going retrograde on February 6th according to this astrologer.
www.astrologyhoroscopereadings.com/2014-mercury-retrograde-calendar.html

The same astrologer gave a more intense explanation of Mercury Retrograde with example here:

Fun on the Web Feb 2 2014 Groundhog's Day

"Uh oh! The stars of Groundhog Day are disagreeing about what's next for winter."
http://www.weather.com/family-kids/pets/groundhogs-disagree-2013-20130202

Who saw their shadow? That will be the question most of the day after 7:10 am when we have sunrise. Groundhogs Day is always a day when those of us in the north look forward to finding out if we are having early spring or six more weeks of winter.

For over 60 years Wisconsin has had their own Groundhog, Jimmy. BTW he is right in his prediction about 80% of the time. Not sure I will be out there having the breakfast buffet but it might be fun. (Yes, in Wisconsin its always about the food.) BTW Jimmy said early spring ahead along with most of the others.

Was it Wiarton Willie in Ontario who saw it? In 55 years this has become a full on festival.
http://www.wiartonwilliefestival.com/

Are you a big fan of Punxsutawney Phil? He has had about 39 percent accuracy ever since 1886.
http://www.groundhog.org/

Jimmy the Groundhog lives on this apple farm. What a lucky guy!
http://www.jerrysapples.com/

Buckeye Chuck is one of two groundhogs in Ohio known for predicting the arrival of spring. A native of Marion, Ohio, Chuck began predicting the arrival of Spring in the 1970s. Although he doesn't have his own website, Wikipedia says he is the Official State Groundhog.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckeye_Chuck

Sir Walter Wally from Raleigh, NC

Staten Island Chuck in NY

Malvern Mel and Holtsville Hal disagreed with Staten Island Chuck!
