You can steam vegetables as crisp or as soft as you prefer.

Same here, Joan. I always preferred the orange Jell-0.
Odd to eat it plain.
With fruit cocktail was good.
Also with fresh sliced banana was good.
(Both of those mixed in before it jelled)
 
Add a bit of vanilla ice cream at serving time,
was even better.
 
That said, I haven't had Jell-O since I was a kid.
I'll add that to my bucket list...
Orange Jell-O with banana and vanilla ice cream. :)
 
And since I never made all the years my daughter was growing up,
maybe I'll make it the next time she comes for a visit.

I've never been in a hospital so I know nothing about it.

> I've never been in a hospital so I know nothing about it.
 
ADD ME! Never as an inpatient and I plan to continue the trend.
 
I did have to go (outpatient) last October. Right before my
Medicare kicked in unfortunately. (Dec.1)
 
Private doctor visit cost $92. Reasonable price.
Then he sent me to the hospital for chest x-rays.
The x-ray doctor charged $70-something for their work.
Again a reasonable price for 5 x-rays.
The hospital finally sent me a bill just for being there
and the use of their equipment. $830. Bastards!
 
So that one day cost me almost $1000. Fuggin hospitals.
 
BTW, the chest x-rays showed that all was well....WHEW!
It had been over 30 years since the last one so I was
worried. Expensive day but ended my worrying.
For that reason, it was worth the price I suppose.
 
Anyway, if my insurance had started then, I would have
had to pay about $200 vs the $1000 that I did pay.
BUT...since then I've paid insurance $1240 so far
for premiums and I haven't needed to go back anyway.
 
It's a lose-lose situation, imo.
Now, I'm paying about $1650 per year and still
don't need any medical care. Maybe I just need to
start getting sickly more often.
 
Hopefully, NOT! :O WTH?

Orange Jell-O is good with Mandarin orange segments... and add orange
flavored seltza to the syrup for the liquid.
I never liked fruit cocktail.
Actually my favorite Jell-O is lime.

That's odd, what symptoms required five chest views? Typicallly there
are only two views, one frontal and one lateral. For something
requiring more detail the doctor would have wanted a CAT scan.
How long ago did you get chest X-rays... nowadays they no longer use
film, now X-rays are digital, costs a lot less.

Had you purchased medical insurance it could have cost you nothing
other than the ins premium which is low through AARP. Even with
Medicare you still need ins, there's a lot that Medicare doesn't
cover.

Colonoscopy comes to mind. The last time I had one the prep
instructions said I could drink Gatorade but NOT the red stuff. I'm
sure the reasons for no red Jell-O are the same.

Not really, Steve. When I was hospitalized in 2008 they didn't give me
any Jell-O, not even green Jell-O.

Sheryl passed away two years ago, and I - and I'm sure many of us - sure do miss her. We had our differences at times, but we were still good friends. So here's to you, "Sis", and wherever you are I'm sure your big heart and generous spirit are surely appreciated!

No. I don't consider internal combustion engines very interesting.
 
The vehicles they power are useful tools, but not something to become
emotionally invested in.

First of all, I like a microwaved potato unlike many here, it
seems. I'll take that any day over an oven baked potato with
crispy skin. I do leave skins on though. Easy to cook with 2
passes. Once on one side, let it sit for a few minutes, then flip
it over and finish cooking. That's the one thing that I often
actually cook in the microwave vs just heating stuff up. Oh, and
some other green veggies too, those in a covered bowl.
 
Anyway, I made:
- medium microwaved potato, then cross cut with knife and
spoon, mixed in with butter and S&P. Kind of like a
very chunky mashed potato.
- topped it with a juicy fried egg
- microwaved broccoli on the side
- Gramma R's applesauce on the side
- one slice of buttered bread
 
Broke the juicy egg over the potatoes then ate.
Nice way to eat a potato, imo.
Good meal.

I had a plate lunch with teri beef, fried shrimp, and some kind of eminently sustainable Asian white river fish. My son had a hamburger between 2 cakes of fried ramen.

It was just the bed. Not Trump. Oh my, that would have been interesting.

Thank you so much for asking, Nellie! I'm fine, trying to
get all the spring chores done, don't remember it being this
hard but it's almost all done.
 
We did manage to get something done today that I say I will
every spring but never do, went strawberry picking. That was
fun. Think we'll make it a regular thing.
 
Thanks again for the shout out, really made my day.

Compare (oddly) to a medium rare steak.
Not rare but not medium either. In-between the two.
 
Same with onions. This 3lb bag had smaller than usual onions.
They are smaller than medium, at least in my area. ;)
Draw a 2" diameter circle and you'll see that it's
not quite medium size for an onion.
