Look what I found for you friend....I didn't know the answer to your question and it was bugging me....according to this chart 2cups of tomatoes = 1 lb Of course, you've got to account for the skins and stems... does that help a bit??

How are you doing cookie...if you're stuck at home...it would be a good time to work on a new chapter **hint hint**

I took the test, very interesting.

I was ENFJ (Teacher)

Idealist Portrait of the Teacher (ENFJ)

Even more than the other Idealists, Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able - effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other types find hard to emulate. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students. Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible.

In whatever field they choose, Teachers consider people their highest priority, and they instinctively communicate personal concern and a willingness to become involved. Warmly outgoing, and perhaps the most expressive of all the types, Teachers are remarkably good with language, especially when communicating in speech, face to face. And they do not hesitate to speak out and let their feelings be known. Bubbling with enthusiasm, Teachers will voice their passions with dramatic flourish, and can, with practice, become charismatic public speakers. This verbal ability gives Teachers a good deal of influence in groups, and they are often asked to take a leadership role.

Teachers like things settled and organized, and will schedule their work hours and social engagements well ahead of time-and they are absolutely trustworthy in honoring these commitments. Valuing as they do interpersonal cooperation and harmonious relations, Teachers are extraordinarily tolerant of others, are easy to get along with, and are usually popular wherever they are.

Teachers are highly sensitive to others, which is to say their intuition tends to be well developed. Certainly their insight into themselves and others is unparalleled. Without a doubt, they know what is going on inside themselves, and they can read other people with uncanny accuracy. Teachers also identify with others quite easily, and will actually find themselves picking up the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of those around them. Because they slip almost unconsciously into other people's skin in this way, Teachers feel closely connected with those around them, and thus show a sincere interest in the joys and problems of their employees, colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones.

Yes, cookie, these are indeed some Pearls of Wisdom.

You know, I think I gave it up years and years ago because of calories...one of the lower fat tricks?? I can't remember the last time that I tasted tuna in oil. I may have to get some and try it again. If we like it pretty good I could start using up my water packed and stocking up on the oil packed!

I'm not saying this is the healthiest of dishes...nobody stone me for using ramen noodles! But it's actually pretty tasty and these are ingredients from my stock pantry.

Ramen noodles (6 packs)

diced onions/celery/bellpeppers ( I now have these dehydrated )

2 cans of tuna ( I prefer packed in water)

I add the vegies (and you could also do corn or peas, etc...) into the boiling water right before I add the noodles and seasoning and then stir in the tuna at last. Serve it up and season with black pepper or hot sauce.

Of course I'm cooking for a small army, but you could easily half the amount of noodles and tuna.

These look very tasty indeed

I didn't see my personal favorite, Hazelnut. I imagine you would just find a hazelnut extract??

Sounds good! Good Thread~

Here's one of my cupboard cooking quickies...

Quick Creamy Tuna and Noodles

Cream of Chicken

Canned tuna

Canned sweet peas

Egg Noodles

Season Salt and Black Pepper

I dilute the cream of chicken as instructed on the can with water, add the noodles first to get them started softening and then add everything else. If you like a strong tuna taste, use the juice, if not drain. I drain the peas about half way and dump them in too. My kids love this and it's easy.

:cool1: I think that is so cool!

And finally,

#5. The cherished moments, bonding, and safety of my preciuos, sought after, longed for, prayed for sons.

5.

Thanks BiscuitMaker, I surely check that out.

And Snowmom, please do ask your dh to share his secrets.

My main hesitancy at this point is the daily feedings that most require. I did seem some that said you don't have to, but not sure they'd be really good.

If I must feed every day, I'll wait until after our Thanksgiving trip to start mine...don't want to find a baby sitter!

I'll be checking this all out and get back to you with any questions.

Hi y'all!

Thanks, Stephanie

what's that old addage....a picture is worth a thousand words...certainly applies here.

Why did the lady at the grocery store give you grief?

Stephanie

Hi everyone, I'm just investigating this new idea...new for me I mean...

I'm checking out some of the web sites and trying to decided if I'm brave enough to tackle it....

May I ask...why do you make your own...just for the fun of it??? or are there other benefits??
