My Dad the Chef
Jan 17th
Author: Joseph Sandoval
Ever since my dad signed up for CLEARTVbundle.com he has become hooked on The Food Network. I think that is so funny because when we were all growing up, we had a person that cooked for us and then my mother cooked the rest of the time when our cook was not there. We were not rich or anything, but that was just something we had growing up. Anyway, my dad has started to cook some in his older years. I will call to check on him and my mom, and he will tell me about some recipe that More >
Peppermint for Losing Weight
Jan 17th
Did you know that the smell of peppermint can reduce your feelings of hunger?
It works remarkably well. I think that peppermint tea would do the trick better than, say, sniffing a candy cane, but the essential oil of peppermint has long been known for helping people to reduce cravings, and lose that feeling of “gotta have something now!”
Not to mention that having a nice cup of peppermint tea would help to fill the stomach, and satisfy the taste buds at the same time.
Give it a try! and let me know how it works for you!

Jan 17th
I love tea. Yup. It is definitely my beverage of choice. I love regular tea, fruity teas, spicy teas, green tea, black tea, you name it!
However, many tea flavors are just too strong for me. If I were to make a cup of tea, with a single teabag of, say spice tea in it, it would just have too strong a flavor for me. So, I usually mix my teas. Mixing teas means that you’ll have to be making more than one cup at a time. That’s ok with me, as I usually drink more than one cup in a More >
Hard Boiled Eggs
Jan 17th
As long as, forever, I’ve had issues with hard boiled eggs that do not wish to let go of their shell. There’s nothing more frustrating than being in a rush to get your deviled eggs ready for company only to find that half the eggs are unusable because the shells refused to release, and the eggs came out with their flesh torn and ragged, and in no way presentable for company.
So, I’ve been hunting and hunting for a way to insure that my hard-boiled eggs come out clean. It has not been an easy task.
Someone told me that the eggs More >
Lady and Sons
Dec 9th
Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby
My mom’s best friend’s sister is Paula Deen’s personal assistant chef. So that means that when you turn on DIRECT TV and watch The Food Network and tune in to any of Paula Deen’s cooking shows, her personal assistant chef is the one that cooks everything that is shown on the show. One day on her show, Paula was talking about her restaurant that is called Lady and Sons in Savannah, Georgia. She was describing an awesome sounding dish called Lady and Sons Chicken Pot Pie. The recipe called for using frozen puff pastry, chicken More >
Live Here, Videoconference There
Nov 18th
I recently did some research on renting Calgary apartments (Alberta). Although the prices seemed high to me, it sure seems like a nice place to live. I have no idea what the job market is up there, but since most of my work is done on the computer, it doesn’t much matter.
The world is getting smaller, for sure. Not only has public transportation gotten faster and faster, but the internet has tied us all together. Even just a few years ago, only the largest of corporations could have video conferencing. It was used as the symbol of advanced technology on More >
Restoring Your Favorite Coffee Maker
Nov 11th
I’m very fond of my coffee maker. It’s very old, as I have had it for a very long time, decades in fact. I have tried other coffee makers through the years. Newer ones, fancy ones, free ones, expensive ones, but I always end up giving them away, and using my good ol’ tried-and-true. It works for me. I like the coffee, and I’m used to it. One might say (if you say it politely) that I am set in my ways.
This creates a dilemma, however, when our favorite things get broken. The need for replacement parts comes about not More >
Espresso Anyone?
Nov 9th
Ahhhh… that first sip of coffee in the morning! There’s nothing like it! No wonder one coffee company uses that idea as their slogan… “the best part of waking up…” Just the smell of fresh brewed coffee is often enough to get you out of bed and starting the day, something that otherwise is sometimes a little difficult.
However, unless you have a loving partner who is willing to get going before you, that cup of coffee isn’t going to make itself.
Or will it?
Of course it will!
That’s if you have one of those automatic Espresso Machines on your counter, programmed and ready More >
How Many Pairs of Glasses Do YOU Need?
Nov 5th
I have worn glasses since I was in 3rd grade. (and that’s a very long time) Of, course back then, there were very limited choices in what your new glasses looked like, and unfortunately, I made some bad decisions back then. Now, every time I look back in my family picture book, there is no way to erase those mistakes, for they are forever preserved in photos.
Then, my choices became limited, as my eyes developed various different issues, and my prescription became more and more expensive to get made. Not to mention, that I was determined not to make the More >
Save on Holiday Items
Nov 4th
Do you shop online?
Do you like saving money?
Well, have I got a site for you! Recently, I came across this site that aggregate coupons for all kinds of stores online. If you are looking to buy, well, just about anything, you’ll want to check out the deals at Savings.com . If you find what you’re looking for at an online store, make a quick move over there, and see if they have a coupon. Often they do. Then you’ll get a real deal on something you were just about to buy anyway. Or, if you know what you want, just go More >
