This week of shopping

We sometimes go to town more then once a week, to get certain things for the girls or things we need and forgot during that first trip to town/grocery store. We live about 15 miles out.

This week I think I did pretty good. I have been couponing for about a couple of months now. I just have to brag alittle this week , since I saved more then I usually do.

First trip--We went to Walmart and I saved a total of 20.00 just from Walmart. I had a total of 16 coupons that I used. Most were grocery related.. The coupons varied from .40 to 1.00 off on the different products....It was nice to see the numbers drop....

Today wasn`t a real big saving as the first trip , but it`s a savings none the less.
I went to Walmart and used a Dawn dish Soap coupon that came from a Sunday paper insert.I saved .50 there...yayay

Then I went to the grocery store and used several coupons there and they double up to .50 coupons...I saved about 10.00 there. I had a  couple of coupons from coupons.com , one for Butterball turkey and saved 3.00 off , of course had to buy 4 crescent dinner roll, in which I had coupons for those as well., so the on the turkey , I saved 3.00 plus 1.60 on the four dinner crescents... I also had a coupon for Hormel Ham and saved 2.00 off on that. I also got a peel-it coupon on the turkey and two of the crescents...yay

I just love saving on things.......I wish I could save more.

I so love couponing. My mom used to do some couponing when I was growing up , but not a whole lot...just a few items and she wouldn`t use them on sale items.

When completely browned and crusted in place in position you want to cook it in, and add 1 cup cold water. Cover with lid so steam can be vented. When liquid starts to boil, turn heat just low enough to keep boiling. After about 20 minutes it should sound like it is frying. When this occcurs, turn roast over and add 1/2 cup water, replace lid, let cook until " frying" bergins again.

The new stove

The new frig

The kitchen has gotten a new frig and a new stove this year. The old frig would take it`s spells in freezing in the frig department, not the freezer part. I really don`t like frozen milk, or eggs, or jello.

The old stove was from the 1950`s , I think and the oven didn`t work and it was soo small. The stove had a compartment on the side to store your pots and pans. the new stove is 30-inchs , the standard size, so their is a gap on both sides of the stove., But I soo love having a oven again and having a frig that doesn`t freeze.

showtime rotisserie

I soooo love my showtime rotisserie, in fact I have two, the compact one the one shown. I have made turkey, the white meat is so moist, you wouldn`t believe how moist; made hamburgers, chicken-white meat is also moist; corn on the cob-ooh so good.

The first one was the compact one , in which I had to have and did not buy from Ronco, but from an individual who didn`t like it, I truly love mine, the second one, I forgot where I got it at, but it came with the tray on top, as seen in photo, in which makes excellent corn, while the rotisserie cooks the meat or whatever you are rotissering. It also comes with a flavor injector , in which I have used to inject melted margarine with a few spices in to turkey, and chicken.

I highly recomend this product, whatever the size, All I can say is yummmmmmmy, when I use it to cook any of my meals!

Moussaka

Ok, I really don`t know how to pronounce this recipe, and I have to admit that I have not tried it either...Lamb is sooo expensive, if you find it in the store at all. This recipe comes from 1968.

Refrigerator Rolls

Here is another recipe for refrigerator rolls, this one from 1967.


Refrigerator Rolls
Mrs. Vona Odneal

1 cake yeast
1/4 cup water, lukewarm
2/3 cup fat
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup potatoes, mashed and hot
1 cup potato water, hot
3 eggs, well beaten
4 to 5 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Place fat, sugar, salt, mashed potatoes and potato water in large mixing bowl. Stir until fat and sugar are melted and mixture cools to lukewarm. Add eggs and mix well. Add 2 cups flour and mix well. Add sufficient enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn onto a well floured board and knead in flour until dough is smooth and can be easily handled. Dough must be soft. Do not use more flour then needed. Place in lightly oiled bowl and allow to rise until double in size. Knead down and shape into rolls. Allow to rise to double size. Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes approxiamately 50 rolls. This dough will keep several days in refrigerator.


The recipe calls for salt, which wasn`t in the list of ingredients, I would say use about a 1 -1 1/2 teaspoon salt in this recipe, the usual for refrigerator rolls.

Gain dish Soap

I know can you believe it Gain washing powders , now has dish soap, I do believe it is a good product, this is my second bottle. I really don`t know if they have any for dishwasher machines though, my dishwasher is my own two hands, simple things around here .
I maybe dating myself, but remember the old dish soap commercial , where they say it is good for your hands....well this dish soap don`t dry yours hands out. And it is not a bad price either.

I so love the Gain laundry detergent as well
