Organize Your Life

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:44:55 GMT

Thank you Canda, Sharon, Terry, Mary, and Alice for spending some incredible 90 minutes with me.

Our first workshop "Declutter/Destress" was attended by some incredible people! Yes, it was a small group, but we were able to touch on personal clutter issues and everyone learned from each other...and we had some great little quiches from across the street. Can't wait to do the next one, "Bedroom Secrets."

Please visit the preregistration site to secure your space for any of the next 12 90-minute workshops.

I got a lot out of your workshop.  I came home and was motivated to  tackle little organization projects - like my desk, the floor of my  guestroom,  and a shelf of my closet.  Now when I try something on  and don't like it anymore, it goes straight into a bag for  Salvation Army.  I feel better already!  I will keep on with that  and eventually get to the pictures and such.
I'm so pleased that you created this business that utilizes so many  of your skills and clearly leads to positive changes in many  lives. - Mary M.

Wiener Schnitzel a la Brigitte

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:25:45 GMT

And now for the perfect meat to go with my potato salad:

Wiener Schnitzel a la Brigitte

Per person use 2 lean pork cutlets (I buy a big pork loin and cut them myself).

Pound the cutlets a little, the bottom of glass works if you don’t have a meat mallet. You could cover the meat with Saran wrap to avoid it “spitting.”

Use 2 plates to hold

¼ cup of regular bread crumbs per person

1 beaten egg per 2 or 3 persons

Salt and pepper the meat to taste on both sides.

Melt butter or your preferred sautéing oil in a nice large skillet that heats evenly. Make sure the skillet is nice and hot.

Swoosh the cutlets, one at a time, in the beaten egg and then in the bread crumbs and toss in the skillet.

It won’t take long to cook it on both sides, so don’t go away.

Brown to a slight crisp and put on serving plate or dinner plate.

This meat is supposed to be sprinkled with fresh lemon juice.

Either cut the lemon in slices and place 2 slices on top of each cutlet (albeit tricky, squeeze it out by rubbing the blunt end of your knife blade over it while holding it down with your fork), or squeeze lemon juice and dribble it over each cutlet. This is done by the individual!

Enjoy!

German Potato Salad a la Brigitte

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:54:36 GMT

This is a favorite of everyone in my house and for those that have been to my table. According to my mother it is not exactly true to the region we are coming from in Bavaria, hence a la Brigitte.

To serve 6 people, boil 8 medium-sized yellow potatoes in their skin until soft to touch, but skins are intact.
Discard water, peel while hot using a fork to hold the potato and a paring knife to remove the skins (it will come off like sun-burned skin).
While potatoes are cooking, dice half an onion and cut 4 strips of bacon into ¼ inch pieces.
Also dice 2 pickles (barrel pickles from Gundelsheim are the best; if not available, use bread and butter pickles) and set aside.
Put bacon in a hot skillet and render as much fat as possible without burning. Drain on a paper towel.
Use some of the bacon fat (or for lighter fares peanut oil) to sauté the onions.
Slice potatoes ¼ inch thick into a bowl.
Add salt and pepper to taste, ¼ cup of peanut oil, ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with a pinch of sugar or agave sweetener.
Gently toss to blend well.
Add onions, bacon, and pickles, toss gently again.
Heat ½ cup of beef or chicken broth. Just before serving pour over salad. Serve warm.

Where will you be when the lights go out?

Who would have ever thought that one of my first consignments is a grave site! My consignor has opted to use a different way into eternity.

The site featured is 60 square feet of prime Pflugerville real estate. Located at the Capital Parks just South of Wells Branch Parkway in a section that has nothing available otherwise at this time. It's a beautiful location, directly on a driveway (front row). A list of owners of neighboring graves is available upon request.

It's listed here.
