  How long did it take you to prepare for talks or parts in the KM school?

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  several years ago, whenever i got a talk slip i would get really nervous but accept it and work on it almost immediately.

  of course that was way back when i still believed it all.. now they gave me a #3 talk out of the blue about a month ago and i had forgotten all about it till the meeting night.

  i really thought about not showing up at all but at the last minute, i decided to go.. so when i got there the meeting had already started and so i just stayed in the back looked at the info, found 2 scriptures and then without any notes i went up and gave the stupid talk!.

  I dont ever remember writing one. LOL

  My mom always did them. I joined the Ministery School at 6 years old. She contiuned to do them until I moved out. She could write them out in an hour.

  Later, changing congregations so often, I always asked/begged to just be a house holder. I hated everything about talks. Just getting that slip kept me up for nights.

  I would imagine all the things I would rather do instead of a talk, like going to the dentist and haveing work done with out a pain shot.

  Sometimes when I see 4x5 cards I still get the heebee jeebees

  I see alot of kids started at 6

  Yes, I did.

  Not having a normal teen life. I ended up doing somethings much later. In my mind I was willing to try everything at least ounce. Raised a few eyebrows and looked like a dingbat I'm sure. (no offence to real bats ;-)

  I've calmed down now, probably becasue I have no choice. Still can get a wild streak, espically when given a dare.

  Making tomato sauce....

  by JWOP in

  not sure where i should post this?.

  last year i got into home canning.

  this year i sooooo want to make homemade tomato sauce, but i'll need a food mill to do it because it's too time consuming to de-seed 52 jars worth of tomatoes.. i've been online looking at customer reviews for various brands and models, but now i'm just a muddled mess.reviews speak about multiple uses and the pros and cons, but i only want it for tomato sauce/spaghetti sauce.. do any of you use a food mill for homemade tomato sauce?

  Hi JWOP

  Good for you on taking up canning and gardening. Good canned tomatoes are so expensive. Oragano grows well, almost like a weed. The canning, I greatly admire , I just havent found the patience for it ,,,yet.

  You have some great suggestions here.

  For a simple Mother sause...I like to start with about 20 cloves of chopped garlic and saute until golden in oilive oil, alot of olive oil. be careful not to burn it or it gets bitter . For some sweetness you can finally grate some carrot. I use REAL Salt, a good sea salt that is full of trace minerals. Some black pepper. I use 2, 32 ounce canned crushed tomatoes.

  Are your tomatoes peeled? If not, you can peel and quater them. mashing them with an old fashioned potatoe masher. Add them to the garlic and oil. Simmer this for an hour or more. If you are worried about the carbs you can use broiled zucchini, sliced lenght wise and other vegetables instead of pasta and make a lasagna with ricotta with a little wisked egg and spices, or fresh Mozzerlla and pecorino.

  I like your name...Smile.. but I always read it J-WOP.

  Ciao,

  do you prefer regular brew or the fancy offerings?

  can you drink it -- the leaded stuff -- any time, night or day?.

  no survey here, just curious.

  Bon Dia ,

  Mmm.. coffee......( I want a coffee perfume, with a hint of cinnamon and chocolate.)

  I use a melitta coffee cone for a single mega thermal cup. Cream and sugar in the morning. Nothing fancy.

  Latter in the day, espresso with just sugar., with my Moka Pot. Illy, when I can find it and afford it.

  Or Nescafe doubled when Im a little lazy. I grew up with Nescafe and I like my memories of it. Hugs to Mouthy!

  Funny, I can drink espresso in the evening and go to sleep for a few hours , but regular coffee keeps me up all night.
