SENIOR LADY: GROW CELERY ALL YEAR!

Image
    I love watching videos about gardening. Five years ago,  lots of videos were about, regrowing grocery store  vegetables. I was intrigued and tried to regrow a few of them.  Most of the veggies had to have roots on the bottom.  Beets and carrots on grew bunches  leaves.  There were no new carrots or beets to harvest. The only veggies I could regrow  successfully were  yellow onions, green onions, leeks,  and celery. I usually buy new celery stalks when I want to  replace damaged celery stalks in my tote. My celery stalks can be harvested all year long. My five-gallon blue tote stay full of  celery because I add new celery roots when grocery store has it on sale. The celery in the blue tote shown below just had the "big chop" Here is how I regrow celery: I remove celery stalks from the plastic bag. I cut the bottom half of the celery off the stalks.  I remove the first layer of cut stalks from the bottom.  This...

SENIOR LADY: CLASSIC STYLE UPDATES!

Image
I am a Senior lady who like to dress nice.  I like  to be  fashionable but never flashy  or gaudy. The styles  I wear are classic  and somewhat trendy. That doesn't  mean I follow the latest clothing trends  of  twenty-year-old ladies! I have been retired for  a while. I no longer  need to wear business casual clothing.   I like casual clothes like  t-shirts and jeans  during the week.  I like to wear relaxed fit clothing. I am short in statue so; long  baggy t-shirts and shirts don't fit well.   They make me look sloppy and dowdy. I was recently shopping at a discount store  that had closeouts on name brand pocket  t-shirts. They were marked down less than  three dollars!  I bought the shirts in several  colors. However, when I tried them on,  they were very long. I didn't feel like  doing alterations like sewing or hemming.  I remembered a style I saw ...

SENIOR LADY: SUPER BOWL SNACKS TRY-OUTS!

Image
  I have never been a sports fanatic. I did enjoy basketball  during my college days.  My husband and one of my sons  enjoy watching football and basketball games on T.V. I must prepare myself for a lot of noise during the game. on Super  Bowl Sunday.  They yell and jump around all night. I do watch the half- time festivities  with  them.  I treat the guys to finger foods and appetizers on Super Bowl Sunday. It's my way of getting out of preparing Sunday's full course meals. I try to add a few new appetizers each  year.  This year I'm trying Rotel Dip and Bacon Wrapped  Hot Dogs. BACON WRAPPED HOT DOGS: * I used half of recipe  Need: 1 Pound bacon 1 Pound beef hot dogs Brown sugar, to taste Cayenne pepper ( optional) Toothpicks DIRECTIONS: Cut hot dogs into thirds.
