The # 1 Spice I Use In Just About Everything I Cook...


I don't have just a single spice rack in my kitchen, I have a Spice Cabinet!  I love cooking and I enjoy experimenting (because I can't follow a recipe for the life of me) with different spices to create different dishes.  Because of all of this experimenting I tend to collect lots of different spices.  Some are used often, others are only used on rare occasions.  Here is a peek into one (of 3) sections of my spice cabinet (not including my swiveling 5 tier spice rack on the counter-top).  Many of these are my primary go-to spices.



Of all the spices I use, my #1 spice is 'Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend


I sprinkle Mrs Dash into just about everything I cook, other than desserts of course. I use to be able to buy it in a bulk shaker from Costco or Sam's Club but I cannot find it in any size but these small shakers that are very pricey for the size.  (If you know of a bulk source, please do share!)   I love it so much that I'm willing to fork over the dough anyway.  I also like some of the other of Mrs Dash's blends, but this is by far my favorite one.

I like to use Mrs Dash because I don't use salt in my cooking.  Well, now that isn't totally true, I do add a teaspoon of course kosher salt to my bread dough, but that would be it.  I have a little 2.5 oz sized salt travel shaker that I've had for at least 2 years.  I keep it in the house for dinner guests who feel the need to add salt to their food.  Even though it makes me crazy when someone covers their food in salt before they have even tasted it!

Perhaps I need one of these, for when those guests come to dinner!

[I actually bought this at Amazon for $9.97 + s&h]

Do you have one spice that you use in just about everything?  What spices do you never use?

‘Whoever did this wanted to make very sure no one lived to tell the tale.’ Money, murder and love on the high seas. In the world of international shipping, the rules are blurred and the oceans lawless.  When instinct tells maritime claims investigator Angus McKinnon that a wave of frauds must be connected, he thinks it’s just business as usual. Instead, he uncovers a ruthless conspiracy born of greed and the lust for power.

As he starts to unravel a trail leading from the post-Soviet drabness of a Black Sea port to a sweltering anchorage in the Gulf of Thailand, a devastating explosion in the Indian Ocean changes everything.

Facing down terrifying childhood memories, torn between two very different women and doubting old friends, McKinnon must navigate a precarious path between secretive government agencies, shady syndicates and avaricious crime lords towards an unpredictable endgame.  Gambling everything on his faith in one man, can McKinnon beat the odds and come out on top?

Have you ever wanted to write a story, but you didn't know how? Or are you good at writing stories, but stuck for ideas? Are you currently writing a story, but you have writers block? Well, have I got the book for you friend. I can call you friend because we've just built up a rapport with my rhetorical questions. This is a book chock full of writing prompts. These are little things that will help you along to writing some amazing stuff that spills out of your mind.

You're wondering: "But what kind of prompts are they? I've seen writing prompts before, but they're all lame." That's a good thing to be wondering, friend. I've crafted and homebrewed only the finest of prompts for your pleasure. You won't be confined to any one genre, you'll find a limitless amount of prompts ranging from comedy to serious to horror. I say limitless, but I meant 1,000 prompts precisely. I said 1,000 precisely, but there's slightly more if you count the introduction. Listen, friend, I promise not to fib from this point on.

You Know Why Women Were Born With the Ability to Have Multiple Orgasms?

WARNING: This post contains discussion about orgasms, menstrual periods, and menopause ....if you are uncomfortable talking (or reading) about such things, then close your browser window right now, because I need to rant.

You know why women were born with the ability to have multiple orgasms? 


...It's a trade-off for all the other hormone related crap we women have to endure throughout our lives. 

It starts with monthly bleeding that begins at about the age of 12 and continues well beyond our typical child bearing years.  It brings along its constant companions, cramping, crabby moods, and water retention.   Oh, and acne too!

Then there is morning sickness that we feel the first several months (and the last several months) of pregnancy.

Pregnancy might be considered one of the trade-offs as well, but I was happy to be pregnant, other than the morning sickness part.  It was the pain of giving birth that I felt was the trade-off.

And then after some 40 years of menstrual cycles we get to do it in reverse for another 2-10 years during peri-menopause.  This lovely time of our life is when we 'begin' to have memory loss, mood swings, grow random chin hairs, and our body loses it's ability to maintain proper lubrication...in every part of our body where it is truly needed. (If you are not there yet, I won't scare you with those details.)

Is it just me or does these reproductive organs look kind of scary?
We begin to suffer hot flashes and night sweats, Oh Joy!  How in the world did women of the 'olden days' survive without an adjustable thermostat they could turn up or down every hour (or quarter hour) as needed to keep from freezing to death or burning alive, for no apparent reason?  Oh, wait, they didn't live as long back then...maybe that was a good thing.

Just yesterday I woke up with my hands and fingers feeling like someone filled me up like a water balloon.  My pants that fit me fine the night before were so tight now that I could hardly breathe.  I found comfort in my loose fitting tan capri pants that I decide to wear out to lunch with the hubby.  Then an hour later I regretted not choosing my black ones, because I realize I've started my period while out to lunch.

Then this morning I wake up with a terrible hormonal migraine.  They come on every time my hormones make a drastic fluctuation...which is often these days, but almost always the day-of or day-after my period starts.  So here I sit here in the unlit rooms of our home, with no TV or radio playing, and the dogs are forbidden to bark.  I've even placed a post-it note outside the front door with a warning note threatening anyone who pushes that doorbell button.
  

About this time I'm thinking about this 'trade-off' we women were given.  And I'm thinking that the next time I'm feeling a wee bit selfish for enjoying myself too much while my poor husband only gets to reach 'the prize' once before the game is over...I'm gonna cash in on this 'trade-off' and just keep on 'having too much fun' until this poor old body of mine just crashes from exhaustion.

Pinkerton doesn't understand his owner’s commands. When told to come, he jumps out the window. When asked to fetch, he destroys the slippers instead. Pinkerton’s desperate owners take him to obedience school, but he flunks out in record time. Then one night a burglar breaks into their house, and Pinkerton is able to put his bad habits to good use.

This silly charmer of a story was included on the Booklist and Horn Book best of the year lists and inspired four sequels about the impossibly clueless but irresistibly sweet Pinkerton.

At a critical juncture during brain surgery, Alex Dixon, age 12, had a stroke. . .

Alex was a normal, bright, and healthy little girl, when the sudden onset of a mysterious illness began to take over her life.  Months of physical therapy and medication failed to provide relief from acute pain and muscle spasms. Doctors across the country were at a loss for answers. A last-ditch attempt at treatment—brain surgery—ended up stopping the spasms but with unexpected, dire consequences.

A Stroke of Luck is the remarkable true story of a close-knit family that meets challenge after challenge with resilience, hope, and love.

Oh Amazon, how I love thee... (New Kindle Unlimited Explained)



Let me Count the Ways... 1, 2, 3, 4...


Just when I thought there were already enough reasons to LOVE Amazon...I find yet another.

Besides...
  1. The Awesomeness of Prime membership which gives me Free 2 Day Shipping of just about everything I buy on Amazon, which is quite a bit because I live very rurally and fuel costs so much more than I pay for my annual Prime membership fee.  
  2. The fact that I save an additional 15% off (and get free shipping) on so many grocery items that I buy every month through the Subscribe & Save program.  
  3. The fact that I have purchased over 900 eBooks on my Kindle and spent no more than maybe $35for them.

I now have a new reason to Love Amazon...  

It's the new KindleUnlimited subscription service!  For just $9.99 per month I can pick from over 600,000 eBooks available on Amazon that normally I might pass up because I didn't want to spend the money to buy that book.  I can't tell you how many books I have put on my Wish List that I really wanted to read, but just couldn't justify the cost of the book at that time, or I didn't want to spend the money and discover the book wasn't as good as I thought it might be.

But now, if I see the KindleUnlimited logo (see instructions below) on the title page of the book I can 'buy' it for FREE!  If the book is terrible I haven't wasted a dime, and if its awesome I can tell my friends its worth the cost so go buy it...or sign up for KindleUnlimited and get it for free too.  Oh, in all fairness to authors, I read the fine print as well...the Authors do get paid for the book when I use KindleUnlimited and actually read the book.

Here is how it looks...


When you see the KindleUnlimited logo [RED ARROW], you just click on the 'Read for Free' button [BLUE ARROW] and the book is instantly uploaded to the reading device you chose.
I should clarify that it is not actually buying the book for free, it's more like borrowing the book.  But not borrowing in the same way you do with the Prime Membership Kindle Library borrowing, where you can only get one book at a time and you have to wait another month to borrow another one.  With KindleUnlimited you can have up to 10 KindleUnlimited books at one time.  You don't have a time limit on how long you keep the book, so no rush reading it.  When you have reached your limit of 10 books and you attempt to purchase another KindleUnlimited book it will ask you to return your oldest KindleUnlimited book first.  When I reach this limit, and I do quite often, I just add the newest book to my Wish List, then when I'm finish reading one of my 10 current KindleUnlimited books and return one, I go back to my Wish List and get the new book.

If you are not sure if you would really buy enough KindleUnlimited books to make it worth the $9.99 monthly subscription price...try it for a month for Free!   At the end of the month, count how many books you were allowed to read for free, (and the cost of those books without KindleUnlimited) to see how much money you saved that month.  If you didn't save at least $9.99, then just cancel the subscription before its renewal date.

You have nothing to lose by trying it Free Trial for 30 days.  You will get to read books for Free all month and you are under no obligation to continue.  I saved over $100 on books that I read my first month, and read some really awesome books (and a dud or two I was glad I didn't pay for), so I definitely continued my subscription!   If you are wondering what happens to the books still on your kindle at the end of the free month, if you decide to cancel at the end of the month???  Those books will automatically be returned, so be sure you are done reading before you cancel.

In the future I will be including some KindleUnlimited books in my Chicken Lady's Pick of FREE eBooks in each Tuesday & Saturday post.

Okay, enough talking about my new love, I'm going to read a book...


NOTE ABOUT KINDLES & AMAZON: Buy the way, you do not need a Kindle device to read Kindle books, you can download the Kindle app to your Laptop, Desktop, Smartphone, iPad and just about any smart devices.  You will need an Amazon account to purchase the free books.  Sign-up is super easy if you don't already have one.  To get a Free book you have to go through the purchase process even though the price is $0.00.  You will need a method of payment on file with Amazon, but they will not charge your card to 'purchase' a free ebook.

ALEX LUTHECKER lives off of the grid. He prefers the comfort of the night. He avoids the crowded and chaotic daylight hours, because the relentless anxieties of the multitudes overwhelm him. This is because Alex has a rare gift. He is a pattern reader. Patterns in nature, patterns in social groups, patterns in individual behavior, he can recognize them all. With one conversation, he knows all of your secrets. He can tell you exactly who you are. He can tell you exactly how your life is going to end. For Alex, it’s not magic. It’s math.

NICOLE ELLIS works in the energy business. She trades futures in the lifeblood of civilization: crude oil. With the help of her patented pattern recognition software, PHOEBE, she has the uncanny ability to predict trends in oil production and consumption. And at the tender age of twenty-five, she is recognized as one of the best in the business, with the bank account to show for it. For Nicole, who grew up with nothing, the world is hers.

RICHARD BROWN was a highly respected intelligence officer during both Gulf Wars. He oversaw rendition squads, making sure that his interrogators didn’t cross the line into torture, and if they did, that no one would ever be the wiser. The only thing that mattered to the government was that Brown always got his man. His track record of success allowed his move into the private sector, eventually heading the corporate entity known as Coalition Properties, the largest military contractor in U.S. history. For Brown, the commodity he trades and sells is power.

A terrorist attack on a Saudi oil refinery sets the paths of all three on a collision course, an encounter that threatens to upset the balance of power in the world. Alex must learn to forge relationships and become a leader in order to save the lives of not only himself and Nicole, but also those of his loose band of allies, as he becomes one of the most sought after fugitives in history.

Chicken Lady's Picks: FREE eBook Daily (8/30/14)

Image by adamr at FreeDigitalPhotos.net
 Here are today's 'Chicken Lady's Picks of FREE eBooks.  I hope you find something you like!  Please leave me a comment if you like this series of posts as it will encourage me to continue bringing you a new list of FREE eBooks daily!

I will only be posting books that I am personally purchasing, so you wont find any sci-fi, romance novels, or sports books here, sorry if those are your favorite genre's.  I like non-ficition, books based on a true story, or fiction that seems non-fiction, self-help, autobiographies, true-crime, cook books sometimes, and children's books.


So here we go..."Chicken Lady's Picks: FREE eBook Daily"


[*BEFORE PURCHASING* Please look at the price of the book before you purchase it.  These books were listed as $0.00 at the time of this post, but as I mentioned earlier, this is usually a short term promotion and then they go back to the full price.]
