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 Nov 15 2014 Save on Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a great holiday for me because I get to shop for and eat all the foods I love. I don't usually make it on Thanksgiving because I end up at someone else's house but I do make Turkey and Stuffing, Sweet Potatoes, Pie, and of course cranberry jelly. Yes I like that stuff right out of the Ocean Spray can.
There will probably be Brown and Serve rolls, butter, jam, and a jello with fruit in it: either red with pears or fruit cocktail or green with pineapple. None of those really constitutes cooking but you gotta have it. I typically stuff the turkey a bit but most of what I make is dressing because it is cooked outside the bird. Yes Virginia it has to be stuffed inside to be "stuffing".
It is a time when stocking up on turkey (if you have room) is key to future great meals at a savings. Turkey can be used for more than just the main event. Sure that's great but if you get at the carcass.cut slices, leaving little pieces behind, pack those slices (gently for lunch tomorrow or later tonight) in the fridge, gather those little pieces and pack in a freezer bag for a week from now, and get that bird in the stockpot you can make soup or stock.
I pack the stock in an ice cube tray, freeze, pop out and save for a day when you need some flavor enhancement in a chicken, turkey or even a pork dish. A stock cube or two can do wonders to add a richness to your cooking.
Do you try to save at Thanksgiving? Do you think ahead to what you will do with leftovers? Do you have a favorite bread, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo or Miracle Whip on hand? Make sure to add them to your grocery list. I always add avocado and bacon to my sandwiches too, of course we think those are staples at my house. Look up some recipes in advance so you know what to do with those leftovers: Turkey Tetrazini, Turkey Rice Soup http://www.redgoldtomatoes.com/recipes/detail/turkey-rice-soup, or look here for more great ideas http://allrecipes.com/recipes/everyday-cooking/everyday-leftovers/turkey/

Fun on the Web Nov 11 2014 Knife Skills
So after the election I grew silent but I was actually busy including attending a class at our local technical college on Knife Skills. My reasons were twofold: a friend wanted to go and my arthritis is gearing up as it does this time of year. I had hoped learning some tricks might save me some pain down the road.
Some of what they taught, I knew. After all, I have been cooking for 50 years. (One of my Grandmothers was legally blind so) I was her hands and eyes in the kitchen when I visited almost every weekend. There were plenty of new tricks and I got a great idea for Christmas (which I will share in January since the family reads my blog.)
Did you know that you should steel your knife every time you use it? Do you believe that the chef had the whole range of knives to use and basically used a chef's knife for almost everything except a few fine cuts he did with a paring knife? It was very interesting! I hope a learned a few lessons like never using my finger on top of the knife blade and how to cut the ends off a kiwi and then take a teaspoon and slowly separate the skin from the flesh, first from one side and then the other.

Fun on the Web Nov 1 2014 Black Friday
OMG Black Friday is right around the corner. The unofficial start of holiday shopping is the day after Thanksgiving (Friday). Most stores offer Door-buster Sales with some kind of early bird special to attract consumers to their stores. People stand in line hours before stores open, to grab the big deal of the year but I suggest getting there 20-30 minutes after the store opens. You may miss the deal but most times not and you DO miss the craziness.
Here are just some of the best sites to check when planning your shopping. Many offer email alerts too. Most big box stores (Best Buy, Target, CVS) have ads leaked way before Thanksgiving. Don't forget those online gift sites as well (Harry & David http://www.harryanddavid.com/, Swiss Colony http://www.swisscolony.com, and Red Envelope http://www.redenvelope.com .)
Of course retail giant Amazon http://www.amazon.com has special deals ending at different times each day to lure you to their site over and over.Just put Black Friday in their search box and then bookmark the Black Friday page. They also have a Cyber Monday page, Gold Box Deals, and Top Holiday Deals page. Don't forget to update your wish list while you are there.
