I was asked how the microwaveable potato bags work and since that was one of the first questions from quite awhile ago I need to give you all an answer.
You put your washed, punctured with fork potato in the bag and then microwave on high for two minute stretches checking to see if the potato is cooked after each stretch. You all know how sometimes a microwave baked potato has a tough skin, well the bag keeps the moisture in the potato and the skin stays soft.
Another suggestion was that we should check into the Canadian Dental Plan that was just started this year. Harvey did get a letter from the federal government about this, but there are some hindrances to him being able to apply for it. Between the two of us we have just over the amount of yearly income, and we also have private insurance. Our private insurance does cover regular dental work such as cleanings, fillings, x-rays and extractions. It does not cover bridges, periodontal work, crowns, root canals, or dentures. I suppose we could move to the next level where those things would be covered, but man, we pay enough for what extra we have. Our insurance covers prescriptions, private rooms in hospital, ambulance, massage, physical therapy and a few other items that I just can't remember right now.
Another question I was asked was about my Cabbage Bread. Just think of Hot Pockets. Mine however are stuffed with a mixture of cooked cabbage, ground beef, onions, salt and pepper. This is something my German grandmother made (her mom did as well) and the recipe (if you can call it a recipe) has been passed down through generations.
Hmmm, can't think of anymore of the asked questions. I do hope to make this kind of post a bit more often in the future, but first I will need to remember to write down all the questions.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
I would think you would want to be sure the potato bag was made of cotton because I've heard that putting anything else in the microwave might be harmful (don't have a basis in fact though!). And glad you have medical coverage, no matter how you get it.
ReplyDeleteYes they are and so is the thread and batting used in them. Just like the microwave bowl holders I have made over the years. Don't want to take any chances.

Oh, thank you for explanation on cabbage bread. That sounds wonderful - I will try that soon.
ReplyDeleteThe cabbage bread sounds delicious
ReplyDeleteThe cabbage bread does sound wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask where you got the potato bags, but it is clear from your response to Magpie that you made these. Microwaves certainly make it much easier to make baked potatoes. I remember my mom putting them in the oven for an hour or so, now they are ready in minutes.
ReplyDeleteMust try the cabbage bread. I find it hard to use up a whole cabbage!
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered if the potato bags really work. The cabbage bread sounds wonderful!
