Helpful Hints:

Peeled Too Many Potatoes?

* Submerse them in cold water to which a few drops of vinegar have been added. Keep refrigerated and they will last for 3 to 4 days.
* Leftover baked potatoes will sour quickly if stacked together in the refrigerator.

How to keep Garlic fresh as the day you bout them?

* Garlic cloves will never dry out if you store them in a bottle of cooking oil. After the garlic is used up, you can use the garlic-flavored oil for salad dressing.

Donna continues to encourage her listeners to use her mental stretch as both a strategy and a tool to help you deal with a plethora of situations.

From anxiety to stress and from dealing with every day mental clutter and crunches to overcoming the unexpected, Donna's mental stretch is flexible, easy to use, and does not depend on any sort of medication or artificial assistance. It is totally dependent on you and yourself.

You can reach Donna via email at:

Using the sense of hearing:

Listening to crickets chirp
Listening to the sound of a lawn mower
Listening to children laughing and playing

Using the sense of smell:

Outdoor barbecues cooking
Fragrant flowers
The smell of a gentle summer's rain falling

Using the sense of taste:

Sweet lemonade
a cold salad
A yummy hot dog

Using the sense of touch:

Warm water in a lake or ocean
Cool sand under the fingers
A leaf

Quote to ponder

“Anyone can hold a grudge, but it takes a person with character to forgive. When you forgive, you release yourself from a painful burden. Forgiveness doesn't mean what happened was OK, and it doesn't mean that person should still be welcome in your life. It just means you have made peace with the pain and are ready to let it go.”

Asian Calamari And Citrus Salad

What You Will Need:

Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
1 sharp kitchen knife for slicing
1 greater
1 knife for pealing
Mixing bowls
1 whisk
1 shallow dish or large freezer bag
a cooking grate
Paper towels

Ingredients:

3 naval oranges
¼ cup of olive oil
¼ cup of red curry paste
¼ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of pepper
1 pound package of cleaned calamari (tubes and tentacles), rinsed
Cooking spray
1 cup of thinly sliced red onion
Fresh cilantro leaves

Cooking Directions:

Grate orange peel zest to 1 teaspoon.
squeeze juice from 1 orange to obtain 1 third cup of juice
Peel and section remaining 2 oranges. Coarsely chop sections.
Whisk together orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, red curry paste, salt and pepper in a bowl and reserve 3 tablespoons mixture for later use.
Pour remaining marinade into a large shallow dish or zip-top plastic freezer bag; add calamari.
Cover or seal and chill 2 hours,
turning occasionally.
Remove calamari from marinade, discarding marinade.
Coat a cold cooking grate with cooking spray, and place on grill.
Preheat grill to 400 to 450 degrees (high) heat.
Grill calamari tubes and tentacles, without grill lid, 4 minutes, or until firm,
turning once.
Place calamari in a large bowl;
add red onion, cilantro, chopped orange sections and reserved 3 tablespoons marinade; toss gently.

Notes:

Red curry paste gives this marinated calamari a huge flavor boost. This dish is great hot off the grill or chilled.
Shrimp can be substituted for the calamari, if you prefer.

Makes 4 servings.

Tips and helpful hints:

Keeping Food Fresh:

Lettuce And Celery:

* Lettuce and celery will keep longer if you store them in the refrigerator in paper bags instead of cellophane ones. Do not remove the outside leaves of either until ready to use.
* Lettuce won't rust as quickly if you place a paper towel or napkin in the storage container.
* Line the bottom of the vegetable compartments with paper toweling. This absorbs the excess moisture and keeps all fruits and vegetables fresher for a longer period of time.

Sprouting Onions:

* To keep dry onions from sprouting and becoming soft, wrap individually in foil. They will stay firm for some time.

On today’s Afternoon Radio Theater Sundae, Pepsi-Mama takes you down the immigrant highway with the show, “Life with Luigi”.

Life with Luigi is an American radio situation comedy series which began September 21, 1948, on
CBS Radio and broadcast its final episode on March 3, 1953.

The action centered on Luigi Basco and his experiences as a newly arrived Italian immigrant in
Chicago. Many episodes took place at the night school classes that Luigi attended with other immigrants from different countries. Another common theme involved Luigi's landlord/sponsor, Pasquale, scheming to get Luigi to marry his obese daughter.
[1] Perennial character actor
and two-time Academy Award nominee
J. Carrol Naish played Luigi.

Life with Luigi was created by Cy Howard, who had earlier created the hit radio comedy,
My Friend Irma. The working title was The Little Immigrant, echoed in the sign-off of each episode, "Your lovin-a son-a, Luigi Basco, the li'l immigrant." Other characters on the show included Pasquale (Alan Reed), another Italian immigrant who is always trying to trap Luigi into marrying his daughter Rosa ( Jody Gilbert); native Chicagoan Jimmy ( Gil Stratton), Luigi's young business associate; Miss Spaulding (Mary Shipp), Luigi's night school teacher and ideal woman; and Schultz (Hans Conried), a German immigrant and fellow student in Luigi's citizenship class. Each episode used the framing device of Luigi narrating a letter to his mother back in Italy.

The show was popular, successfully competing with Bob Hope 's The Pepsodent Show . For most of its run, Life with Luigi aired at 9 pm on Tuesdays. Despite an estimated 30% share of the audience in its timeslot, the show was without a sponsor [3] until Wrigley's Gum bought it in 1950, continuing till the show ended in 1953.

Kitchen Helpful Hints:

Got a Messy/Dirty Refrigerator?

* A little vanilla poured on a piece of cotton and placed in the refrigerator will eliminate odors.
* To prevent mildew from forming, wipe with vinegar. The acid effectively kills the mildew fungus.
* Mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of warm water. Wash inside and out.
* Use a glycerin-soaked cloth to wipe sides and shelves. Future spills wipe up easier. And after the freezer has been defrosted, coat the inside and coils with glycerin. The next time you defrost, the ice will loosen quickly and drop off in sheets.
* An open box of baking soda will absorb food odors for at least a month or two.

Got a Dirty Sink?

* For a sparkling white sink, place paper towels across the bottom of your sink and saturate with household bleach. Let sit for 30 minutes or so.
* Stains on porcelain can be easily removed with a paste made of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar.
* Rub stainless steel sinks with lighter fluid if rust marks appear. After the rust disappears, wipe with your regular kitchen cleaner.
* To remove streaks from stainless steel, rub with baby oil or olive oil.
* Use a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol to remove water spots from stainless steel.
* Spots on stainless steel can also be removed with white vinegar.
* Carbonated water will shine up stainless steel in a jiffy.

Lum and Abner was an American network radio comedy program created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff, that was aired from 1931 to 1954. Modeled on life in the small town of Waters, Arkansas, near where Lauck and Goff grew up, the show proved immensely popular. In 1936, Waters changed its name to "Pine Ridge" after the show's fictional town.

The series was created by co-stars Chester Lauck (who played Columbus "Lum" Edwards) and Norris Goff (Abner Peabody). Lum always pronounced his own name as Ed'erds and was very annoyed if Abner or anyone brought up his full first name. The two characters performed as a double act , with Lum generally playing the straight man to Abner's attempts to break free from Lum's influence. As co-owners of the “Jot 'em Down” Store in the fictional town of “Pine Ridge”, Arkansas, the pair are constantly stumbling upon moneymaking ideas only to find themselves fleeced by nemesis Squire Skimp, before finally finding a way to redeem themselves.

Lum and Abner played the hillbilly theme with deceptive cleverness. In addition to the title characters, Lauck also played Grandpappy Spears and Cedric Weehunt while Goff played Abner, Squire Skimp, Llewelyn "Mousey" Grey, Dick Huddleston, and most of the other characters.

Lum and Abner, like most sitcoms of the era, had a live house band , in this case a string band in keeping with the show's hillbilly humor.

Marshall Jones, before his adoption of the "Grandpa" persona that made him famous years later, was among the band's first members.

In this show Donna continues her mental stretch and shows you how to use the various senses either individually or in combination with each other.
She continues to emphasize that you can do your mental stretch at any time of the day, and forever how ever long you wish to do it.

Donna further states that her mental stretch can be used in a plethora of situations and/or circumstances. Examples; when you are anxious, when you are sad, when you are stressed out, or to cope with such things as a crying baby, a barking dog, and much more.
You can even use Donna's mental stretch to help you energize and recharge yourself or to help you sleep better.

Donna introduces a very unique strategy and recommends this strategy, when stress and clutter seems to be interfering with daily habits and experiences.

Donna's mental stretch is based on the MIC principle.
Clearing the mind and imagination of clutter and cobwebs and sparking and stimulating the creative juices, with each other to conduct your mental stretch.

Picture this…

A group of men, sitting in a converted garage studio, knocking back the suds on a hot Texas afternoon, and talking about their various home handymen projects…

Now picture the men as being blind and visually impaired, and you have the Blind Handyman, with Phil Parr, the creator, producer and host of the show, his compatriots, Don Shaw, Don Patterson and Tom Houston. Together, these men decided to get together to let people know that the blind can accomplish any job, if they have the know-how, and the funds with which to support their projects. The Blind Handyman crew bring you the first of those solutions, and the second one is up to the handyman, blind or not.

Here now is The Blind Handyman, in the hopes of inspiring others the same way they inspired Victor, when he first went blind in 2002. Enjoy, as these four men regale you with tales of their projects and how they accomplished them, and how you can do the same, with just a few tools and confidence.

Whose Blind Life is it Anyway is proud to broadcast these shows again, in their entirety in the hopes that, what they gave Victor hope to get past his blindness, and live a fulfilling life, will inspire others with the same assurance.

Come join the Blind Handyman Crew, every Saturdays, at 9:00 am (EST), 6:00 am (PST), 2:00 pm (GMT), on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway.

During the Covid Pandemic, public health departments around the world stepped up, some early, some late, but all did an enormous task of coordinating and dispensing the vaccine and made sure that pandemic tracking was kept up-to-date for every city around the globe, and given the limited resources each of those public health departments had to work with, most would be hard pressed to recall a time when public health departments all came together, worldwide focused on a single goal, and although the pandemic and Covid infections seems to be contained, public health continues to maintain a vigilant role in tracking any knew infections in their local areas.

In some cases, public health departments have grown to encompass larger jurisdictions, such as child-care centers, assisted living facilities, and other jurisdictions that were monitored by other departments and enforcement agencies, but the question then becomes, with the limited number of staff manning each public health department, do they have the manpower to spread their purview?

We’ll also talk about the past week’s news items that have come and gone.

Join our panel, on Friday nights at 8:00 pm (EST), 5:00 pm (PST) and 1:00 am (GMT), as they discuss topical news items of importance from a blind perspective.

10 Ways To Soften Hard Brown Sugar

1. Keep it stored in an airtight container with a slice of fresh bread placed on top. Seal and leave overnight. It should be fresh again in the morning, if not just let it sit another day or two.
2. Sprinkle a few drops of water over the chunk, seal in a plastic bag and let sit for a couple days.
3. You can also place in an open container, then top with a moistened cloth (paper towel works too). Let sit overnight.
4. Seal it in an airtight container with a few apple slices. This should fix it up within the next day or two. Remove apple slices once it’s fixed.
5. Use foil or plastic wrap to cover the top then set a dampened sheet of paper towel (not dripping wet) on top of the foil. Seal in an airtight container and let sit overnight or a few days as needed. Remove foil and paper towel once the towel is dry and the mass is fresh again.
6. Buy a clay disc or if you have a pottery piece on hand (from a broken clay pot, etc.), set it in water for about 30 minutes. Dry the piece so it isn’t dripping wet. Put the clay piece in a container with the sugar and seal. Check after a few days. Keep it in the container for months if you’d like, this will help prevent the problem from happening in the first place.
7. Need it now? Put it in a container and set in the microwave with a small bowl full of water beside it. Microwave for about 1 minute, check. If it’s not ready, try for another 30 seconds. You can keep doing this until it’s nice and soft, but watch that you don’t melt it.
8. Place the chunk in a baking pan and set in oven (temperature at about 250 degrees. Check after 5 minutes. If still not ready, continue checking every few minutes until it is.
9. Place the mass in a microwave safe plastic bag. Take a square of paper towel and moisten with water (not dripping wet, wring out excess). Arrange the wet paper towel in the bag with the sugar and seal. Heat in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds. If still not ready, microwave for a few seconds more, repeating until it’s ok and ready to use. Be careful it doesn’t get too hot and melt.
10. Stick small pieces in a food processor or blender and chop/pulse until usable. For best results, make sure to keep it stored in a sealed, airtight container. A couple fresh marshmallows or a clay disc kept in the container can help prevent the problem. You can also keep it in the freezer and set it out a few hours before using.

Here’s what I learned for this month:

• What are 2 possible foods that act as anti depressants?

According to some health experts, it is Turmeric and almonds

• All about frozen veggies versus fresh veggies:

It is cheaper to buy frozen veggies

• About fresh potatoes versus frozen potatoes:

It is cheaper to purchase fresh potatoes.

• Some tips on creating safe passwords:

Create passwords that are a combination of upper and lower case letters, symbols, and numbers.
A good suggestion would be to make your password as a phrase.

• Some unforgettable tips to deal with the flu season and Covid!

Wash your hands.
Watch your distance.
Wear your mask.

• Some useful tips when dealing with stale bread:

Put a bit of stale bread in your cookie jar to keep your cookies fresh.
Use when making stuffing.
Give as food to the birds.

And this!

If you want to refresh a stale donut then just put it in the microwave for 30 seconds and presto! Your donut is as good as new!

• Some very interesting medical news for consideration!

According to Chen-Hui Chen, from Duke, University, “The human body has some limited regenerative abilities such as the liver. When part of the liver is removed or destroyed, the remaining portion grows to the original size and allows the liver to function as it did before. The medical term for this is “compensatory hypertrophy.”

• When taking antibiotics pay attention to these tips:

Avoid dairy products such as butter, cheese, and milk.
Drink lots of water.

Cherry Cheesecake Dump Cake

What You Will Need:

A can opener
A sharp kitchen knife
A 13 by 9 inch baking pan
A spreading implement
a toothpick or skewer
Paper towels

Ingredients:

1 can (21 ounces) of cherry pie filling
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) of tart cherries in water, drained
4 ounces of cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1 package of (about 15 ounces) of yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter, cut into thin slices

Cooking Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 13 by 9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the pie filling and tart cherries in the prepared pan.
Scatter the cream cheese pieces over the cherries.
Top with the cake mix, spreading evenly. Top with butter in a single layer,
covering the cake mix as much as possible.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes,
or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Makes 12 to 16 servings.

Helpful Hints for the Kitchen:

Cleanups/For The Drops And Disasters, Plus Some Of The Ordinary Messes:

Dishwasher Film:

* Fill dishwasher with all your glasses and porcelain China. Never put any silver, aluminum or brass in the washer when this method is used or you will have a mess. Put a bowl in the bottom of the dishwasher. Pour 1 cup of household bleach into the bowl. Run through washing cycle but do not dry. This is important. Fill bowl again with 1 cup white vinegar and let the dishwasher go through the entire cycle. This will remove all film, not only from your glasses but from your dishwasher too.

Drains:

* When a drain is clogged with grease, pour a cup of salt and a cup of baking soda in the drain followed by a kettle of boiling water. The grease will usually dissolve immediately and open the drain.

Electric Frying Pan:

* To rid the brown grease spots that form on the bottom of electric frying pan, place the pan in a large plastic bag containing a cloth saturated with ammonia. Close the bag with a rubber band, leaving the handle containing the electric element outside of the bag. In a few hours, remove the pan and you'll be able to wipe the spots off with ease.

Garbage Disposals:

* Grind a half lemon into the disposal to remove any unpleasant odor.

On the second part of Shawn Keen’s interview, we cover Chat GPT and artificial Intelligence, and some of the breakthroughs he’s currently involved in that could be game changers for the blind community.

Victor is always looking for people to interview.

In 1933, a character was conceived and brought to live by two-disc jockeys in Detroit, Michigan. This character became an American icon, and became a template for western heroes for years to come.

The Lone Ranger spawned a radio series totaling almost 3000 episodes, several books, a hit television show, and many movies and parodies that outright flattered the character, while at the same time, creating a template for masked heroes. From Zorro, The Gay Blade, to The Green Hornet, who came to be associated with the Lone Ranger by lineage, The Lone Ranger would prove to be one of the more successful shows and characters of the twentieth century, and beyond.

Phil Parr had a dream, and a desire to help those who could not accept their blindness. In the hopes of illustrating to men and women around the world that blindness was not the be all and end all of their existence. They did not have to sit in a home, twiddling their thumbs, giving others permission to accomplish tasks they could accomplish themselves.

Picture this…

A group of men, sitting in a converted garage studio, knocking back the suds on a hot Texas afternoon, and talking about their various home handymen projects…

Now picture the men as being blind and visually impaired, and you have the Blind Handyman, with Phil Parr, the creator, producer and host of the show, his compatriots, Don Shaw, Don Patterson and Tom Houston. Together, these men decided to get together to let people know that the blind can accomplish any job, if they have the know-how, and the funds with which to support their projects. The Blind Handyman crew bring you the first of those solutions, and the second one is up to the handyman, blind or not.

Here now is The Blind Handyman, in the hopes of inspiring others the same way they inspired Victor, when he first went blind in 2002. Enjoy, as these four men regale you with tales of their projects and how they accomplished them, and how you can do the same, with just a few tools and confidence.

Whose Blind Life is it Anyway is proud to broadcast these shows again, in their entirety in the hopes that, what they gave Victor hope to get past his blindness, and live a fulfilling life, will inspire others with the same assurance.

Come join the Blind Handyman Crew, every Saturdays, at 9:00 am (EST), 6:00 am (PST), 2:00 pm (GMT), on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway.
