Thanks for pushing through when some of these comments made you feel like throwing up both hands and walking away. We thank you for putting on the thigh high boots and walking through the crap, coming out on the other side smelling like a rose.

Sugar snap peas dipped in ranch are good, but pickled sugar snap peas are even better, IMHO. Just process them like dill pickles in your favorite brine. If you want to make them extra easily, just toss a package of them into the brine from the last jar of dill pickles your family finished. Let them sit in the fridge for a week or two, and they're ready to eat.

Low and slow oven bbq ribs ,I cook them the same $7 a. rack OMG much higher in FL.... I like to use garlic toast to make grilled cheese sandwiches,...I bought an electric skillet for my daughter and son in-law for Christmas and they love it and say it makes cooking so much easier 😊❤ great job Brooke I love it that you improvise it shows we all make mistakes, and ya gotta go with it😊 my church message this week was about being kind but the times people say things and it pushes our. buttons - we' re human , God understands , stay kind , people are better when they " feel" cared about, it gives each of us a feeling of mattering😊❤

I do the paper towel trick now, but my mom taught me to save old veggie cans and pour grease in there. Once it cools and solidifies, just toss it in the garbage. I got tired of keeping old cans around so when I saw the paper towel trick I have used that instead. I’ve also used coffee mugs and done the same I did with the cans but paper towels are just easier lol.
