Can you? I can't :o)

I can't whistle as well as I did before my jaw started to shrink, but I can still wink either eye independently; can raise my right eyebrow, but not the left one. I can curl my tongue. My finger snaps aren't as strong as when I was younger. (My knees snap now. Does that count? LOL) I wouldn't try a cartwheel now, but did them easily as a child. Could never do the splits. I used to think I was limber because I can put my hands flat on the floor while standing, but it has dawned on me that although I am long-waisted, I have short legs! I loved ballroom dancing. I think I could still dance if anyone would ask me! (Guess whose DH doesn't dance?) I took ballet until I grew four inches between my freshman and sophomore years.

How far ahead of time can you make applesauce (w/o canning)?
Q
Comments (8)
I freeze applesauce in canning jars. We have several feral apple trees around our property. I have no idea what variety they are. We don't spray the trees so the fruit is ugly. The apples are small and the flavor of the apples from each tree is different but when mixed together they make a delicious applesauce. I don't add anything to it just apples. Though once in a while I will add a splash of maple syrup (DH likes it on the sweeter side), juice and zest from an organic lemon to keep the sauce from darkening or even a little fresh grated nutmeg. My family does not like cinnamon in applesauce. I wash/scrub the apples, remove bad spots, cut in to quarters and plop them in a pot with a tad bit of water. Cook until soft then run the mixture through a food mill.

You can get crispy skin on chicken w/o frying and w/o waiting a day
Q
Comments (24)
Well, here goes nuthin’. Isn’t poultry skin always crispy when baked in a hot oven? Mine is. I can see that adding baking powder and a quick dry could change things but a dry brine changes the skin to a crispness, lightness, tastiness that is distinct to dry brining. YMMV. I’m not a very fussy cook. I love quick and easy, but also long roasts and simmers. I could never work in a tv kitchen and do the fussy cutting and detail work with only unusual and top quality ingredients they do. For me it’s isn’t usually necessary. Dry brining usually is, though I certainly pan fry plenty of chicken parts without it.

If you live in an assisted living complex, you will see much of this--if you don't, someone will tell you they have this! Keep positive thoughts!

How odd that we observe this in 'other people' all our lives, oblivious to the fact it will be US one day -- if we live long enough.

I couldn't have known at 60 how much more physically limited I would be at 70. Sometimes age 'creeps up'. Sometimes it thumps you over the head!

I can relate. I sometimes worry about my lack of energy at 72 but I have a very happy life. We are in the middle of basketball season and the Iowa State men are ranked in the top 10 nationally. I have season tickets to the women's games and go to as many men's games as I can get tickets to. Having a precious 4 year old call me Grammy adds a lot of joy to my life.

Oh yes! My body says I am getting old, but my mind doesn't agree Ã°ÂÂÂ

Linda in Iowa...got to hand it to you....your men thumped my KU Jayhawks. Our conference is a tough one this year, but as tonight, both of us are tied for #1. However, I see you beat K-State....good for you!...they are our biggest rival and am happy whenever any team beats them!
