Capturing my ongoing fascination with the depth and breadth of internet sites out there. Ranging from the absurd to the relevant I highlight sites I locate, some of my posts are long and some short based on available time and what I have seen that is new to me. Although originally a joke newsletter, I have become far more interested in sharing information with my readers. I hope you enjoy this blog and feel free to comment or suggest other sites for my readers. Thanks!

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.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 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/
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.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:

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
