Cast Iron Pans.

Wait 20 mins. and wash out pan with hot water

Sugar  should come right out without sticking if you have taken good care of your pans.

Wipe dry and place back into the warm oven and heat until dry.

Once dry re oil and put back into oven for 5 mins.

turn off oven and when cool put away pan.

My daughter destroys cast iron but really there super easy to use.

Cake is really good also.

Our Cat Peaches

Caramel Corn

Recipe

Ingredients

• 7 quarts plain popped popcorn
• 2 cups dry-roasted peanuts (optional)
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup margarine
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking pans. You may use roasting pans, jelly roll pans or disposable roasting pans. Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, margarine and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend.

Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy. Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat. Don't worry too much at this point about getting all of the corn coated.

Bake for 1 hour, removing the pans and giving them each a good stir every 15 minutes. Line the counter top with waxed paper. Dump the corn out onto the waxed paper and separate the pieces. Allow to cool completely, then store in airtight containers or resealable bags.

Lemon Info ?

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted.

How can you use the whole lemon without waste?

Simple... place the lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator.

 

Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods.

Sprinkle it on your whisky, wine, vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes.

All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste, something that you may have never tasted before.

Most likely, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C.

Not anymore. Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in instant cup noodles.

 

What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes?

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that's what you've been wasting. But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier. It's also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic elements in the body.

 

So place your lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on your meal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier and you get to live healthier and longer! That's the lemon secret! Better late than NEVER! The surprising benefits of lemon!

 

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multi-millionaire’s large corporations?

 

As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors.

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti-microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi; effective against internal parasites and worms; it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an anti-depressant combats stress and nervous disorders.

 

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, which says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that it destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas!

 

The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used as a chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells

 

And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Fair Warning

          LADIES!!! 
 Remember...a  
 layer of dust 
protects the 
Wood beneath  it.

'A house  
becomes a home 
 when you can write
 'I love you' on the
 furniture .' 


I used to spend at least 8 hours every

 weekend making sure things were just 
 perfect - 'in case someone came over' . 
  Finally I realized one day that no-one 
came over; they were all out living life 
and having fun! NOW,  when people visit, 
I   don't have to explain 
 the 'condition'  of my

 home . They   are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun.
If you  haven't  figured this out yet, please heed  this advice. 
Life   is short. Enjoy it! 
Dust if you must  ........   But   wouldn't it be better to paint a picture 
 or write a letter, 
bake  cookies or a cake   and  lick the spoon
 or plant a  seed,
 ponder   the difference between 
want and  need? 

Dust   if you must,   but   there's not much time . . . ...   With   beer to drink , rivers to swim and  mountains to climb  ,   music   to hear and books to read, friends to  cherish and life to lead.   


Dust   if you must,   But   the world's out there with the sun in your  eyes,   the   wind in your hair, a   flutter of snow, a shower of rain.   This   day will not come around,  again. 

Dust if you must ,    but   bear in mind,   old   age will come and it's not kind. ..... .   

And   when you go - and go you must - you,  yourself will make more   dust!  

Share   this with all the wonderful women in your  life. I   JUST DID. It's   not what you gather , but what you scatter that tells what  kind of life you have lived.
