I too think it is permanent etching and to avoid that when you get new make sure the shower glass is squeegeed every time the shower is used and clean well once a week.with a vinegar solution
You could add window film on the outside of the doors to hide the spots.
But I have had the best luck with this stuff. My sprinklers sometimes hit the outside of my windows leaving spots and my window cleaner also uses this to remove them. There are other products with the same name, be sure it's this one. Non toxic, easy on hands/skin, smells great and really effective.

Poor folks don't have a lot of different bottles of seasonings, and one nice one could be a real find for them.
I find that statement to be mildly offensive (no doubt it was not intended to be). Folks that frequent food pantries are not necessarily poor people but those with limited economic means to properly feed their families at regular grocery store prices. I also think it is a bit presumptuous to assume they do not have a decent selection of herbs and spices already on hand.
“I would get garlic powder and buy onion powder and donate both.”
Not a bad idea.👍🏻
I think the key is keep it basic for donating. Dried oregano is versatile (Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican dishes) and has a longer shelf life than some dried herbs. NiCOZ5, nice of you to want to donate it!
Chipolte Honey Garlic...hhhmmm.....that's one I don't have...yeah...it might be pretty good in egg salad...or crab salad...I make those often. :0) Something to consider....
The FREE offer is good until 9/1...so I'll get to look it ALL over on my next grocery shopping trip...I often donate those HUGE bags of dry cat food. They break it down to smaller portions. I'll probably wait until October. I made a BIG donation a few weeks back.
My fave way is to cook them on the BBQ grill. Cook one side of the crust, flip it over, add toppings, lower the lid and cook until done/hot. Don't need a pizza oven.
Favorite way to reheat any leftover pizza is a skillet on a med/low burner, cover until hot. Crust is nice and crisp, cheese all melty, toppings nice and hot.
The pizza stone was just delivered! For those who use stones, do you use cornmeal on the pizza peel or parchment paper which is then removed to get the pizza safely on the hot stone?
I do use cornmeal on my peel. So I always have some cornmeal burning on the floor of my oven after cooking a pizza. Part of the ceremony.
I use the stone for lots of other baked goods as well.
I don't mind the membership cards that give a discount, but the cell phone garbage makes shopping like a homework assigment. I don't want to play this stupid game.
You folks give out your mobile phone #? Do you then use a burner phone?
I don’t like giving my mobile # out ==> marketing calls.
this is why everyone had better rethink buying ANY beef even from a local source. USDA inspected does NOT mean what it used to mean. Due to the closing of so many abbatoirs there are only 5 major ones left in the US and they are foreign controlled/ owned. The local owned don’t have to meet the USDA standards as long as they aren’t shipping across state lines.
We are definitely NOT in a good or safe place with our food supply in the US and it is getting worse by the day. c

this is a favorite and very easy:
Barefoot Contessa, Berries with White chocolate
- 2 half-pints raspberries
- 2 half-pints blueberries
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced thick
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 10 ounces good white chocolate (not chips), chopped
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Early in the day, spread the berries on a sheet pan in a single layer and place them in the freezer. (This prevents them from sticking together.) Once they’re frozen, store them in a freezer bag.
In a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, heat the cream, white chocolate, and vanilla just until the chocolate melts. Don’t let the bowl touch the water. Heat the mixture until it’s warm to the touch, about 110 degrees.
Place the frozen berries in one layer on 6 dessert plates and allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to defrost slightly. Pour the hot white chocolate evenly over the frozen berries and serve immediately.
Congratulations on making through chemo and Happy Birthday!
The purple / white fruit on the plate is called cainito. Botanical name: Chrysophyllum cainito. It grows in tropical and subtropical climates. In Jamaica, where this photo was taken, it's called star apple, and it's available in the early spring and mid autumn. The flavor is unique. Not totally sweet, but addictive once you've tried it.
The yellow stuff that looks like scrambled eggs is ackee, another fruit and the Jamaican national breakfast. The round fried thing is a dumpling.
The bloom's purpose in nature is to protect the egg from rotting during the 21 day incubation period it takes to hatch a chick. But with no rooster in the flock the bloom has no purpose other than to allow the eggs to be kept unrefrigerated for those 21 days. Beyond that they should be kept in the fridge. I have one Cochin hen that insists on being broody every couple months and sits on the eggs layed by the other hens. I have to battle her to collect the eggs. I tried to explain to her that they aren't fertilized (no rooster) but she doesn't listen.
I put mine in the fridge after I've filled a carton. I'll sometimes have 6 dozen in the fridge and keep track of which ones are the oldest so they get used first.
“ I tried to explain to her that they aren't fertilized (no rooster) but she doesn't listen.”
LoneJack - That poor little hen - such a strong instinct to care for those eggs! Maybe you could present her with a couple new live chicks so she’d feel her purpose was accomplished?
A veggie omelet with red peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and spinach. Top with cheddar. And, that someone else cooks for me.
Most of what’s been mentioned. I do especially like egg salad, deviled eggs and eggs in potato salad.
"Ha! No Cadburys! Dang"
I'm addicted to them! Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, they're only available a few times a year. I stock up during those times 😆
"So you can be sure to be home to receive them?" - Absolutely!
With 120 pounds of dry cat food and 80 pounds of canned cat food delivered roughly every 2.5 months, we want to be there when it arrives. Chewy specifies on the FedEx labels where to place the boxes. FedEx gives us a window. We always set out a couple of dollies in that spot. If we're not "on the spot" it's about a 50/50 chance that we'll miss getting them on a dolly. If we're waiting for them, they will sometimes be nice enough to help us get the boxes into the garage. Sometimes not. Even though the packages are 40 pounds each, that's a heft for us oldies.
@OllieJane - I owe you an apology. I jumped to conclusions about your “no offspring” comment and in retrospect I was completely unjustified. I think I was simultaneously puking and diarrheaing from your Baron comment when I misread that final part. 😉
FOAS, I can see how something like that could happen. :)
My feeling is that it is kind of creepy to make statements like that. Who cares who has children and who does not? Does that make a difference here?
Do not forget to check for UTI. My neighbor about the same age had one and she did not even know it. UTI causes confusion. .
Hearing should also be checked. My mom has some interesting cognitive things happening and it all gets worse when her hearing aids need tweeking. It's a tough road to walk with these issues.
I missed the fracas. Legal and business terms are often borrowed in a casual speech meant humorously or at least not literally. The daughter who currently takes her mother to Dr.s appointments as a regular occurrence is totally within bounds to confer with her Mom about whether they should get a second opinion. Period.
If you want to spar for sparring's sake don't gum up a thread where the intent is to help a poster and reply to their request for opinions on a matter.
Of course, you will post again anyway if history is any guide. 🤦♀️
Done! I think they all disappeared. Let us know if you see more.
There are usually two new posts using Chinese characters every day in the "Other" forum, Whack-a-mole.
I just flagged three of them.
Frozen all beef patties, among other meats ans flavors.
Lucille, I don’t know.
I figure if I reach the top of a hill, I surely don’t want to die there.
In tobogganing, the speed, the thrill, the fun of coming down is what it’s all about.
Yep. If I’ve climbed that hill, I don’t want to die there.
Okay, I guess cream in my coffee. No cream, no coffee for me.
And tea. No milk, no tea for me.
" Okay, I guess cream in my coffee. No cream, no coffee for me. " Never use milk:
I absolutely avoid ever having to get up before 7 am.
