    Hi Becky
    I just found out at 50 years old that we are supposed to wipe the blade after we sharpen it or steel it. My sister used to work in the kitchen full-time showed me. I was shocked to see a white cloth how much metal what's left on the blade. She said it's because when you're sharpening it you're shaving shards of metal off the edge. Just wanted to share with you because I was shocked.

      ​@@shesatitagain234I'm also from South Africa and we're currently in the end of fall, going into winter next month. Most home growers in SA don't garden over winter or very limited, because we don't have high tunnels or green houses. It's just too expensive for home use. That might be why she's lying in bed, staying cozy and watching others garden. I also use my off/low season to watch all my American channels for inspiration for when my growing season is near. Me and my husband do have a winter garden though, but very limited, but our winter is very mild. So depending on where in SA she is, she might not be able to garden through winter. 🤗

      @@SB-mw7lgThank you for sharing that, it is always to learn how others do things, how they grow and their seasons. I am American but live in Scotland. Our Scottish growing season is very short, and quite cold compared to both SA and the US. I am fortunate that we were able to find a relatively inexpensive poly tunnel and we created our own greenhouse using windows we found at the tip. It is not the prettiest greenhouse, but it allows us to actually grow our tomatoes. In the US I used to grow them outside and we had buckets of tomatoes per plant. Here in Scotland they must be grown in a poly tunnel or under glass to actually ripen. Corn, something I also always grew in the US must be grown in a poly tunnel here otherwise it won’t ripen. Boy do I miss corn fresh cut and eaten raw as I walked back to the house with enough cobs for dinner lol, or just eating a fresh picked tomato warm from the sun lol. My father used to make me sing loudly while I was in the garden picking vegetables so he knew I was not just having a feast 😂
      SA is one of the countries I want to visit but have not visited yet, and would love to visit to see what everyone grows. My husband is a research scientist and is working on a cure for African sleeping sickness so we would love to see many of the African countries. I raise Malawi cichlids and would love to see where they originate from in the wild. But we travel all over the world for his conferences and rather than buying a lot of touristy things, I always buy seeds to grow, usually flowers and edible things but grasses, ferns, I am happy when growing plants…whatever I find being used in the foods when we visit or that I have never tried growing before always make it into my purchases so I have a living souvenir either outside or growing in the house. There is always something new to try growing or food and culture to learn about and the internet makes it so much more accessible.

    We had an awesome home economic teacher, and toward the end of our sinior year, we all got to plan a large dinner for our teachers/faculty and their wives. we planned our menu and set up tables like a fancy restaurant. We did our budget and went shopping on a field trip. It was so much fun to serve our wonderful school staff that kept our school in great shape for us students. To finance it throughout the year, we had bake sales and candy sales. Our best seller was our ribbon candy for Christmas.

  • @BarbeesBudgeting
    @BarbeesBudgeting Рік тому +16

    I love your videos I noticed that you say you sharpen your knife when in fact what you use is for honing a knife. The difference is that the honing is straightening the edge that can start to roll. In order to sharpen you need a sharpening stone, which actually does take minute amount of metal off the edge which creates a sharp edge. Honing does extend the time in between sharpening.

    Hello Friend!
    for cutting the roll ups, have you ever tried the dental floss (unflavored) trick of sliding the floss under the pastry and lifting the ends up and over, criss-cross and pull to cut the pastry? I love that trick, even cutting cake like that, too.
    Also, when loosening the Potato Bites from you new nonstick mini muffin pan, use a wooden skewer instead of a knife to protect your nonstick surface.

  • @melysaanne
    @melysaanne Рік тому +41

    Hi Becky...a tip on cutting rolled dough (of any kind), whether it's cinnamon rolls or such is to use dental floss. I keep a container of it in my kitchen. When I need to slice rolled dough, I take a piece about 10-12 inches long and lay it under the dough where I want to slice it, then bring up the ends and cross them over and pull thru the dough. Clean, precise & even cuts each time.

    I love watching you work in the kitchen Becky, you impress me so much with what you’ve learned as a self taught cook. I’m a chef (ret) and have so much respect for what you’ve accomplished. A helpful hint though, when you’re cutting hard cheese, please cover the pointy tip of the knife (that your left hand is pressing down on) with a cloth. I’ve witnessed a coworker severely cut the tendons (palm of the hand) when their hand slipped from pressing with such force. I get nervous every time I see you cutting hard cheese in a hurry. I hope this helps you from becoming injured. Thank you for all you do for all of us, your advice and fellowship. Take care my friend.

    It’s stuffed mushrooms/
    Make or buy stuffing with sautéed onions and celery both diced finely. Make stuffing with water or chicken broth and butter. Buy seedless green grapes and sliced Gruyère Swiss cheese cut in 1inch squares. Fill mushroom caps with stuffing and hide grape in middle. Put cheese on top. Bake in oven until cheese is melted.
    Serve. Stab with long decorative toothpicks

    Great way to use the Crescent rolls: Breakfast Bake!
    Spread out two packages worth on a baking tray. Seal the seams. Soft scramble 6-8 eggs. Finely chop onions & peppers.
    Saute up some sausage or other meat. Shred some cheese. Thinly slice or chop a few apples.
    Start by topping the crescent base w eggs, then meat then veg & apple & top it all with cheese.
    Bake it off at 350 for 15 minutes to warm it all through.
    Cut it into individual servings.
    Finish w chopped chives and/or parsley or cilantro.
    You can add whatever veg & seasonings you like, the gist is that the crescents make a good crusty base for anything, even pizza toppings.

The potato chips & cheese make a great crust. Not very healthy but it’s so good. Makes my breakfast for the entire week.

      Any suggestions to replace the crescent rolls dough. In South Afirca we do not have crescent rolls in a dough form. We do have puff pastry and shortcake pie dough or phyllo dough in the refrigeratioin aisle at the shops.

    I'm certainly going to try your balsamic dressing! But, because I'm Canadian, I might try to substitute maple syrup instead of honey(although honey is my husbands preference). If you want your sausage or ground beef/pork/turkey in smaller lumps, I use my pastry blender, it works great! Thanks for sharing your recipes Becky! I've been cooking and collecting recipes for 50 years now, so something new is always welcome!

    So enjoy "joining" you in the kitchen, Becky!! I have made similar sausage rolls, and I like it when I can find the crescent roll sheets, too. We have also used the pizza dough rolls because it's a little bit hardier, and we don't have to worry so much about tearing the dough. The end product is a bit more savory but quite delicious! 😊

    Regarding knife sharpening, my husband always sharpens his knife before chopping food during prep. He became ill because his diabetes was acting up, we went to the ER and the doctor came in after testing and looked at me and asked why he had metal shavings in his stomach. Praise God I don’t do the cooking! After asking my husband how it happened, I ask the doctor if sharpening knives without washing them before using could be the problem, he said yes. So be careful.

    My tip for breaking up sausage in smaller bits is to add cold water to the pan - 1/4 to 1/2 cup - with the sausage - it will slow the cooking down a bit and let’s the sausage break up small. If you don’t want the oil, you can drain and then brown or just allow the water to cook off and then brown. 😊

Even though I washed by hands afterwards as usual, his delicate skin was affected by the pepper oils. I always wore gloves after that when mine were tiny. Just a thought. ❤

    We serve the Corn Dip with Chili Cheese Fritos. Just adds an extra zing from the spices on the Fritos. We also add some diced red pepper to the Corn Dip for added color... tastes delicious as well!
    You need a tart maker from Pampered Chef. Not sure if that is exactly if it is called that, but it is a wooden stick with2 sizes of balls on either end so you can press into your dough (or tater tots) to make the divot for the toppings. I love mine and now I have a new use for it thanks to you!!
