This is one of her post. I will be making these soon.
Chicken Eggs Rolls
This was my first time making egg rolls. For some reason, I've always thought that it would be much more complicated that it was. This recipe is really easy and it leaves lots of room to play with different ingredients to change the flavors. I used chopped chicken in place of the usual pork or shrimp because that's what I had on hand. You could even make these totally vegetarian and not miss the meat at all.
Chicken Egg Rolls
1 package egg roll wrappers
1 - 16 oz - package of coleslaw
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp fresh grated garlic
2 tsp sesame oil
1 c. cooked chicken breast, cubed into very small pieces
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp oil to a frying pan. Toss coleslaw mixture into the frying pan and heat until the cabbage has softened. Stir continually to avoid any sticking. Remove from heat. Cool for 5 minutes.
Unwrap egg roll wrappers. Lay one wrapper flat on the table facing you in a diamond shape. Brush outer edges with water. Add 1/3 c. of filling to the center of the egg roll wrapper.
Fold one end to the center of the wrapper. Fold the left and right edges in on each side. Roll up, making sure all edges are sealed. I ended up with 13 egg rolls.
Deep fry the egg rolls in 3 inches of oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Watch carefully as they will brown very fast. Remove from oil onto a plate lined with paper towels.
Enjoy!

I hope I wake up to this in the morning?
I live south of Atlanta, the weathermen said the snow and Ice is on its way. I am so glad I have been buying in bulk. No standing in lines hoping to get the last loaf of bread, or the last gallon of milk. I am sitting here nice and warm ready to see the snow start falling. I have candles in standby just in case it turn in to an Ice storm and the power goes. We a have an emergency heater that runs on propane sitting in the basement. Batteries for the flashlight and the portable DVD player so we can watch a movie if we like.
It looks like I will be sleeping late on Monday I just checked the closing list for tomorrow, and It seems my
DO YOU REMEMBER : SNOW JAM 82

- I love to shop at Thrift stores looking for a great deal. I came across this while surfing the web, thought I would share it with you
THRIFT STORE SAFETY CHECKLIST
For Consumers and Thrift Stores
If you buy at thrift stores, here are some tips to help you make safer purchases.
CribsMake sure cribs meet current national safety standards and are in good condition. Look for a certification seal. Check that crib slats are no more than 2 3/8 inches apart. Crib mattresses should fit snugly.
If crib slats are too far apart, infants can slip between them and strangle. If the mattress doesn't fit snugly, infants can become entrapped and suffocate.
Clothing Drawstrings
Be sure there are no drawstrings around the hood and neck of children's upper outerwear clothing, such as sweatshirts. Other types of clothing fasteners, like snaps, zippers, or hook and loop fasteners (such as Velcro), should be used. Drawstrings at the waist should not extend more than 3 inches.
Drawstrings can catch on playground and other equipment, and can strangle young children.
Hair DryersLook for hair dryers with large rectangular shaped safety plugs.
These immersion protection plugs prevent electrocution by shutting off the current if the hair dryer comes into contact with water.
Halogen Floor LampsMake sure that halogen torchiere floor lamps have glass or wire guards over the bulb shield and the bulb is 300 watts or less.
Glass or wire guards with lower wattage bulbs can prevent fires that occur when flammable materials like curtains get too close to the lamp. Wire guards are free. Call CPSC.Playpens and Play yards
Check that playpens and play yards have not been recalled. Recalled products include play yards with protruding hardware or rotating top rails that don't properly lock into place.
Children can strangle if pacifier strings or clothing become entangled on protruding hardware. Children can be entrapped by folding play yards that collapse.Car Seat Carriers
Check to make sure the infant car seat carrier you are buying has not been recalled. Car seat carrier handle locks on recalled models can unexpectedly release when used as a carrier outside of a car.
Infants can fall forward and strike the ground if the handle disengages.
Bunk BedsMake sure all spaces between the guardrail and bed frame and all spaces in the bed headboard and foot boards of the top bunk are less than 3 1/2 inches. Make sure there are guardrails on both sides of the top bunk.
Children can become entrapped and strangle in the bed's structure or wedged between the bed and a wall and suffocate.Toy Basketball Nets
CPSC has recalled millions of hazardous toy basketball nets. Check before you buy. Children can strangle on loops or openings in these basketball nets if the nets come unhooked from the rim or have knots that slide. If children put their heads into these openings, the nets can get tangled around their necks.
Toy basketball nets can present a strangulation hazard to children.
Accordion Style Safety GatesDo not buy older accordion-style child safety gates. Make sure that newer style child safety gates are used to keep children away from potentially dangerous areas, especially stairs.
Older child safety gates that do not meet current safety standards can present strangulation and other hazards to young children.Bean Bag Chairs
Do not buy bean bag chairs with zippers that can be opened. CPSC has recalled more than 12 million bean bag chairs.
Young children can unzip bean bag chairs and choke or suffocate on the small pellets of foam filling. For more information about hazardous products, contact

FOOD PRICE FOR 2011, ARE GOING UP?
I think this year it will be more important than ever, to clip coupons and watch the ads for the best prices.
I keep a price log and cash in the coupons when I can get the lowest price point.
Buying in bulk will also save you on the price per pound of items like Rice, flour,sugar .
I came across this while surfing the web. I'm betting if they are increasing prices so will ever one else?
Alexia Howard, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein said in a report to clients that the cereal category has remained sluggish in recent months, but that General Mills was the relative winner.
Increasing wheat prices
General Mills recently announced it was increasing the price of 'selected' product lines to reflect the impact of higher commodity costs on production and the broader supply chain.
According to reports, the company is expecting input cost increases of four to five per cent in the current fiscal year, compared with a three percent decline in the previous year.
If you have any great ideas on how to get the best deals leave me a comment.
