Mesh Strainer Product Review

Not every product I try is as good or better then what I already own, and this item is one of them. Although it is great for light weight jobs. I am looking for one that can take a beating and keep on preforming. Even though it works fine, it feels a bit flimsy. 

This would be best used for shaking on cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or mixing your dry ingredients together. I have dubbed this the strainer for the kids to use when they help out in the kitchen. 

You can purchase this strainer on Amazon.

Dinner in Marksville

I have been preoccupied with my family for the last few days and haven't gotten a post up on what we have been eating, which has mostly been pizza and left overs. Last night was the first night in a few nights that I have made dinner for the family. We had breaded pork chops, baked potatoes and carrots for dinner last night nothing too fancy. 

Even though I am still not feeling well I decided tonight I would look through some recipes and make something a little different for dinner. 

I decided on Cheddar Broccoli Soup, Garlic Bread for dinner with Baked Pears with Walnuts and Honey for dessert.  

I didn't change the recipe for the Baked Pears at all so you can see the recipe at the above link, but I did change the Cheddar Broccoli Soup recipe up a bit. 

As always anything changed is in red next to the original recipe. 

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 stalk celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup) omitted because we didn't have any.
• 1 large carrot, chopped (about 1/2 cup) I used a can of sliced carrots with liquid instead
• 1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves, crushed (optional)
• 1 1/2 cups water, divided
• 1 box (10 oz.) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained I used a 16oz bag of Broccoli spears 
• 1 can (14.5 oz.) low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 1 jar Ragu® Double Cheddar Sauce

1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat and cook celery, carrot, onion and thyme until vegetables are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. I only cooked the onion and thyme with the olive oil, then added in the can of carrots with liquid, broccoli and let come to a boil.  
2. Process vegetable mixture and broccoli in food processor or blender until smooth; return to saucepan. I like my soup with some body so I just mashed the vegetable up with my potato masher. 
3. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup water, broth and Sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.

With the Baked Pears if you are using crisp pears I suggest baking them a bit more and serving with yogurt, or vanilla ice cream. This recipe would be best with super ripe pears. 

Hippochondriac Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews Hippochondriac

written by

Micky Morag

I think everyone has either dealt with an hypochondriac or at least known one in their life time. Children as they learn about sickness and disease will sometimes think that if they have one symptom they have a certain disease or sickness. Some people will let it consume their life and it can create great Social and Mental roadblocks in their lives. 

With Hippochondriac you can read this to a child, although I myself felt it quite hard to follow so not sure how much a child would enjoy this or even understand it, but for a older tween or an adult it would be a much better understood read. 

The pictures were geared toward a child while the writing is geared toward a grownup. This book would make a good copy for Doctors and the like to have in their office. 

You can purchase Hippochondriac on Amazon.

Santamedical Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer Review

One thing every medical kit should have is a Sphygmomanometer, or Blood Pressure Cuff. We have always wanted one but have put it off for years. Now all I need is a stethoscope and we will be all set. Having a Sphygmomanometer makes me feel more at ease as my husband and I age I know pretty soon we just might need to have one of these. 

So far we have good hearts, no cholesterol problems, and great blood pressure, but surely with age that has to change, although I would like to keep everything like it is except for maybe our weight which we are working on. 

This set is a an adult version and fits arms 24.5-40.6 cm, and includes as a case and looks as pictured above.

You can purchase this Sphygmomanometon Amazon.
