I have 3 plantains and some avocado oil. I think that's a good place to start. I've been wanting a good way to cook plantains for 20 years or so. I'm going to try deep fried this time. I did find out which ones to buy for some good food. Wish me good cooking![]()
Good morning everyone!
Yes I want to hear the sounds of nature and it's ruined by unnecessary music. I've written the BBC a letter about but I didn't get very far.

I'm sure a lot of us watch "nature shows", with a group like ours. I have noticed that the UK based shows are MUCH more likely to have a "masterful score" accompanying the images. The constant crescendo's alone make me turn the channel. When I sleep at night, I often change the channel BECAUSE of the chosen music! I search for something truly in the background, not a part of their show.
The Aussie shows are better in that regard, the Caribbean based shows are worse.......it's tough getting old, so many petty things for me to worry about now! When I was working and feeding a family of 5 while living month to month, I never worried about the volume of the music accompanying nature shows...LOL
It's warming up nicely outside. It's already 55F! I might open the garage and install my recovered headliner today.....but a large part of me wants just to chill outside, maybe with a coke....
And tonight:Happy Pancake Day everyone!View attachment 388229


I'm pretty sure I can use them in any recipe that uses bananas, zucchini, or apples. Maybe more As a loaf of bread, pancake, maybe even a latke etc etc. My son and I are eager to experiment with it. I think I've changed my mind. I'm going to try plantain bread first using a zucchini bread recipe that I already have. My son got excited while googling. Plantain is a good food for the them because it helps with their health issues. Besides that we love to cook! If we fail it'll still be edibleFound that Cathie. You have to scroll down quite a way to get to recipe.![]()
Plantain Pancakes
Plantain pancakes are tender and deliciously soft. Similar to crepes, but with a sweeter plantain taste. Ideal for breakfast and dessert.www.africanbites.com

I hate the drip of a slightly leaky faucet. No matter where it is in the house you can hear it. Especially at 3 or 4am when you're trying to sleepI'm sure a lot of us watch "nature shows", with a group like ours.

Don't worry the mark will fade with time. Or get covered with dust. Whichever happens firstMental note....N is my "backup plan". I love good cooking!
Well, with Kerry not around to insist on helping and Mark reminding me that tomorrow is going to be stormy, I installed my headliner this afternoon.
Yes that is a black grease mark.
I swear my hands and tools were immaculate...but there's a lot of black hardware and cables for the motorized top...i just have touched something.

I was able to remove 99% of it...but it sucks, right? I hate messing up something before I even use it.....LOL
So to feel better I took the car out for a few minutes of fun driving....how come I thought of Mags, because she would have approved!
I feel better...my little car is right again.
Something I do at times for somewhat similar things is cut up a sock. Maybe if you cut a sock into it could hold the bandaging in place. Just slide it up like a sock. There'd be a built in clean cover and cushion over the wound too.Time will tell on the skin graft but they say probably not. I don't think burning it the second time did anymore damage. When I touched the dome of the CHE. I felt it this time, so I moved my arm quickly. I am going to ask them if there is a better way for the dressing to be applied. It has to fit losely so no pressure on the wound. Unless I sit around and do nothing. It's pretty easy for the dressing to fall off. It fell off when I transferred to my wheelchair. That's why the dressing was off when I touched the CHE. I am also on antibiotics.
Try Goof Off, but do a little area first to see the results.Mental note....N is my "backup plan". I love good cooking!

Thanks, I was at the urgent care clinic at the hospital today. I should go every 3 to 4 days to have them look at it and change the dressing. They were a little concerned that it wasn't healing better. Of course I didn't tell them about me burning it again. They tried a different dressing, but I have my doubts. I like the sock idea. I didn't realize how much I put pressure on that area. When ever I transfer from chair to chair or bed. I use that arm to balance myself. So now I lean on the forearm instead of using the tip of the arm.Something I do at times for somewhat similar things is cut up a sock.

I think the bottom part of a sock would work to hold the bandaging in place. It would also be some cushioning. Just hopefully where you are a sock wouldn't affect the wound with too much heat. Maybe just a cotton sock that breathes over top. I really think the extra knocks can keep aggravating a wound like that and make it worse.

So please protect it and allow your arm to heal
as you do what you do.
Oh dear and you still need it with the chilly evenings and morning frosts. I'm still having to break ice off the bird baths in the mornings, although it's not as thick as it was. I hope you manage to have it repaired soon Natrah.No heating!
