HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at
FamilyCorner.com!


THANKSGIVING FRIENDS

Thanksgiving is a time
For reviewing what we treasure,
The people we hold dear,
Who give us so much pleasure.

Without you as my friend,
Life would be a bore;
Having you in my life
Is what I’m thankful for.

~by Joanna Fuchs

Minny - Cooking Tip Award
"Put a ham bone and water into a crock pot. Cook
it all day, then strain and use the broth to make
gravy or cook beans in. This broth gives the beans
more flavor."

Barbszy - Cooking Tip Award
"Use roasting-chicken carcasses to make stock.
You can freeze the carcass until you have time to
make the stock. Put the frozen carcass, into the
pot of water and go from there."


-------------------
HOME, GARDEN & FAMILY AWARDS
-------------------

WendyMichelle - Frugal Tip Award
"I save my pie plates for when I have a get together
& someone wants to take food with them. This way
you don't have to worry about when you will get the
container back."

Ncjeepster - Frugal Tip Award
"Since paper plates have gotten so expensive, I use
round coffee filters to hold my sandwiches. They
keep crumbs in place and hold up better than
napkins & are lighter than paper plates."


Hemlynne - Home & Garden Tip Award
"Sew buttons onto toddlers overalls etc with shirring
elastic. Much easier for the littlies to maneuver and
there will be fewer 'lost' buttons."

MrsManiac - Home & Garden Tip Award
"Use vinegar in the rinse water in a Downy ball. It
has mild disinfectant qualities and is safe for septic
tanks."


Apricot - Just for You Tip Award
"Jello also contains a lot of water which helps prevent
dehydration."


Barbszy - Family Time Tip Award
"Host a leftover day! Invite your friends to come over
for a very informal Thanksgiving Rerun. Tell them to
bring any leftovers they might have. Heat everything
up, set up a buffet, & enjoy."

ARTICLE PICK OF THE WEEK
------------------------------

TO COUPON OR NOT TO COUPON?
In 2002, shoppers saved $3 billion by redeeming 3.8
billion coupons, according to the Promotion Marketing
Association. People of every age and income use
coupons and couponing can make a real difference for
a family's bottom line. The question is: Can it make a
difference for you?

EVER HAD EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES FOR
THE HOLIDAYS?
For Thanksgiving this year, I have my GKs (6 and 4) living with
me in my tiny little RV. My DS (30) will be here as well. DH said
he may be off enough days to come down too. I haven't decided
whether to cook a nice, but simple meal or go out to eat for
Thanksgiving. Has anyone else ever had strange situations that
had to making non-traditional plans for the holidays?

IS IT JUST BEING STUBBORN?
I'm home schooling my nine year old son, and I swear, my Advil
bottle empties faster every week! Now, he's very intelligent, very
kinetic, and I swear, VERY stubborn. We have hit an impasse I
believe, with his reading and writing….
Is it just being stubborn?

JOHNNY DEPP OR ROBERT PATTINSON FOR SEXIEST
MAN ALIVE?
Johnny Depp was chosen "Sexiest Man Alive" this year but some
believe that Robert Pattinson should've been given that title. Who

ANYONE ELSE FIND AN OLD FRIEND ON FACEBOOK?
Just went on facebook last night for the first time. Looked up an
old friend that I had not seen since 1955 after graduating and
getting married and moving away. Found her right away. She
wrote back and became My friend. Looked up Her telephone
number on the internet and called her tonight. Was surprised to
hear Se was thinking of me this week too.

ISO PATTERN FOR A LITTLE BOY’S TOOL BELT
This Christmas I plan to make all my granddaughter's a kitchen
apron to help mom out in the kitchen. They are cute and have
their name on the top of them. However, I have one grandson
that probably isn't into the baking theme and wondered about
possibly a tool belt or a construction type apron for him. I cannot
a pattern for one and wondered if anyone had any ideas on where
I might find a pattern for one.

ISO IDEAS FOR BUFFERING SOUND FROM THIN WALLS
The walls in my house are so thin I can hear my son sneeze in
the next room. I need an inexpensive way to buffer the noise.

SHERRY
I bought a bottle of sherry to make beef stroganoff tomorrow. I
only need a tablespoon. What do you do with sherry? How long
does it last? I figure if I make stroganoff once a month the bottle
will last me until I am 100 years old!

FOODS OF THE POOR DEPRESSION ERA
I remember my great grandma making lots of beans, cornbread
and potatoes, though she could make a meal out of potatoes
alone! Do you have any memories from past generations of
your family and what they made for meals when times were
tough?

speaking, what are your favorite spices to cook meals with?

ANY TWILIGHT FANS HERE?
Okay, I have to admit that I am, indeed, guilty as charged as to
being obsessed with Twilight. Both my daughter and I have
watched the movie about a thousand times since we purchased it.
Plus, I recently started reading the books (yeah, I'm a lil late) and
they are so good. I was just wondering if I'm the only Twilight
lover here?

HOW TO CHANGE AN MP3 TO PLAY ON AN iPHONE?
There are some times when I feel so old and outdated...now is
one of those times. I cannot figure out how to change mp3 songs
to play on my iPhone. I have some songs loaded into iTunes but
how do I get them on my phone with only a few songs, not the
whole list of songs?

TIPS FOR USING VELLUM IN CARDS

anyone use something or can advise on something that I can do so
it doesn't show please?

IDEAS FOR MAKING HOMEMADE CURTAIN TIE
BACK HARDWARE?
Not the material part. The part you put on the wall. I need something
for my kitchen and great room. For the kitchen I am thinking about
using old flatware. I can use stainless and paint it to match the
hardware or I could use some old silver I have.
