Potstickers makes: ~ 60-70 pot stickers<br /> <br /> I used the leftovers from the week (so you can use any combination)<br /> 2 Cups White Rice <br /> 2 Cups Mixed Stir Fry Veggies <br /> 2 Cups Parmesan Chicken<br /> <br /> Mix all together in food processor ( everything is the same size)<br /> 1. Combine all the ingredients (except for the pot sticker wrapper). I use my hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients.<br /> <br />
2. Lay your pot sticker wrapper on a small plate, fill a small bowl
with water. Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edge of half
the pot sticker wrapper. Put a spoonful of filling (~½ tbs) into the
center of the wrapper. Careful to not over fill otherwise you will not
be able to seal the pot sticker and the filling will leak out during
cooking.<br /> <br /> 3. Close the wrapper by folding the wrapper in half
and pressing the moisten edge together with the un-moisten edge, fold 4
-5 pleats to prevent the pot sticker from opening.<br /> <br /> 4. Boil in
hot water til they come to float, next Heat a pan on medium heat, coat
pan with a small amount of oil. When oil is hot, add pot sticks in a
single layer, make sure the pot stickers are not touching. Fry until
golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes)<br /> <br /> <img class="emote_img" src="https://s-static.ak.facebook.com/images/blank.gif" style="background-position: -224px 0pt;" title="♥" /> any extra you can freeze for another night <img class="emote_img" src="https://s-static.ak.facebook.com/images/blank.gif" style="background-position: 0px 0pt;" title=":)" /> <br /> ______________________________ <br /> <br /> Spicy Orange Sauce<br /> <br /> 1 cup fresh orange juice<br /> 1 tbl spoon soy sauce<br /> 1/3 cup teaspoons rice vinegar<br /> 1 teaspoon olive oil<br /> 1/3 cup white sugar<br /> 1 tsp garlic, minced<br /> 2 red chili peppers chopped red pepper flakes<br /> <br /> fry garlic and peppers in oil. next add rest of ingredients and simmer for 45 min til it thickness and reducesThe Chateau of Remnantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07830526962639560040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462684369880637364.post-46137647362831158932012-03-25T21:32:00.001-07:002012-03-25T21:32:42.310-07:00What for Breakfast?<br />

A Rule thumb is that if you are not sure, don't do it! No! Halt! Stop! Danger! What took nature hundreds or thousands of years to create can be destroyed by <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>in a moment. What you might think of as "dirt" is known to the collector as "patina" and adds to the value and beauty of antique and ancient items. How can you tell the difference between "dirt" and "patina"? This is a bit of a fuzzy area, but I would say in general patina cannot be removed with water, or by soft brushing, but dirt can. <span style="font-weight: bold;">DO NOT REMOVE the patina</span>! You can feel free to contact me with questions if in doubt. </div><div style="margin-left: 40px;"> </div><div style="margin-left: 40px;">So what is this patina? <span style="font-style: italic;">Patinas are chemical compounds formed on the surface of metals. Many patinas form naturally, by weathering. Figuratively, "patina" can refer to any fading, darkening or other signs of age on <span style="font-weight: bold;">any</span> material. It is natural and/or unavoidable. The chemical process by which a patina forms is called "patination," and a work of art coated by a patina is said to be "patinated." For instance a statue or object which has been handled a lot can be worn down and acted upon by the oils in the human hand, imparting a smooth (as imposed to encrusted) patina. Patina often adds value, shows authenticity and <span style="font-weight: bold;">should not be removed</span></span>. An exception would be a heavily encrusted object which one planned to keep forever, or exhibit in a museum and which would be enhanced by getting down to original material. In my opinion many, many objects in museums (even world-class ones) are over-cleaned or over-restored or both.. The Bottom Line: Leave it a bit dirty rather than risk damage or over-cleaning!<br />
<br />
</div>Let's continue with some basic tips. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IdmotIzf1g0/TdMaQz3jImI/AAAAAAAAAUI/vbsFWUAK1PY/s1600/DSC_2060.1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IdmotIzf1g0/TdMaQz3jImI/AAAAAAAAAUI/vbsFWUAK1PY/s320/DSC_2060.1.jpg" width="320" /></a> <ul><li>warm water is the best and most gentle cleanser. Use caution, however on delicate porous materials: cloth, paper, wood, silk, etc, or anything really delicate or fragile. Clean an itsy-bitsy, teeny-tiny, little area first. If it looks like it might damage the item stop!</li>
<li>Lemon Juice is also a good and fairly mild cleaning agent for stickers, etc. Don't use lemon juice on porous materials in general.<br />
</li>
<li> For truly delicate objects the best you may be able to do is to brush the item with a soft brush and clean whatever dust and dirt you can by gently dusting the object. It is better to have a somewhat dirty object than to destroy it of course!</li>
<li>If you are more certain of the objects solidity you may proceed to using warm water with a little bit of dish soap. A 1% solution should be pretty safe. I use this for most pottery, even ancient pottery, for example.</li>
<li>The next level would be warm water, soap and scrubbing from gentle to vigorous. </li>
<li>Finally harsher methods such as solvents and scraping can be used. I will only touch on this briefly as the potential for damage is high.</li>
<li>Professionals can also use lasers, obviously we won't be talking about that!<br />
</li>
</ul>On to the specifics in order from easiest to hardest:<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dKGLBLwTeuA/TdMaS017loI/AAAAAAAAAUM/EX9IFcu5APA/s1600/DSC_2063.1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dKGLBLwTeuA/TdMaS017loI/AAAAAAAAAUM/EX9IFcu5APA/s320/DSC_2063.1.jpg" width="216" /></a> <ul><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/3810400856_a6e931e37e_o.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
</a>
<li>Porcelain ceramic and modern glass: this is really the easiest. Just hand clean as you would a normal dish, but do so by hand and gently. Use a 1% soap solution. a toothbrush should do the trick for stubborn bits. Try lemon juice if this does not work. Porcelain is amazingly hard and if it has encrustations on it (old sticker material, etc.) you can remove it with a razor blade. the blade must be held perpendicular to the object. push the blade only as hard as you need to do to remove the offending substance. Don't push too hard or you will leave a black mark which you will not be able to remove. You can do the same for glass and mirrors, provided they are not heavily damaged.</li>
<li>Hard Stone (granite, marble, etc): more or less the same as above, but DO NOT scrape it with metal as metal is harder than stone in most cases and will scratch it. If you must scrape, use plastic or wood.</li>
<li>steel, iron, aluminum modern metal; this is usually pretty easy to clean using the 1% solution and a soft brush (toothbrush should be fine here too). Iron (and non-stainless steel) are susceptible to rust. Light rust and encrustation can be safely removed with mild chemicals. I recommend "Never-Dull" and nothing else. If you use it, read the label first. Heavy rust can be removed with steel wool, but this may leave scratches if the metal is soft. This is a personal decision. I would, for example use steel wool on an old wagon wheel, but never, ever on an item like an antique sword.</li>
<li>Wood, leather: I would avoid soap if at all possible, as it may penetrate the item and have unintended consequences. Use a damp cloth and a lot of patience. Use butchers wax in a can and a fine paintbrush to work the wax into the item after you clean it. Then finish up with a soft cloth. It is amazing what wax can do for wood and leather! Don't use pledge or other spray waxes, they have to many other "ingredients". Keep it simple.</li>
<li>Bronze: Dust it, wax it, and forget about it. Don't do anything else or you will probably be sorry. Don't come crying to me if you ignore this sage advice. do not remove the patina!!!</li>
<li>Anything ancient or really valuable: Dust it with a fine bristle paint brush and leave it alone. Anything more should be left to professionals. If you must clean it contact me and I will see if I can help.</li>
<li>Paper, cloth, silk, etc.: These materials are exceedingly delicate, however a damp (almost dry) automotive quality cloth can be used to very, very, gingerly remove surface dirt. Test a teeny-tiny non-visible area first for fastness.</li>

So go and check out her blog to see what else others are showing off of their Vintage Thingies :) </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300;"><span style="color: black;"> I have this ♥ for antique quilts but know nothing about them! I am just drawn in to the color and patterns! </span></span></div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PQtFM2VXh6A/TH7_GC_wB1I/AAAAAAAAAS0/PA8DqD-gwMA/s1600/DSC_1209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PQtFM2VXh6A/TH7_GC_wB1I/AAAAAAAAAS0/PA8DqD-gwMA/s640/DSC_1209.JPG" width="427" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #663300;"><span style="color: black;"> So I am seeking some help here at the same time as showing off the pretty quilt I just found! How do I date the quilt and how can I find the name of the pattern. The reason I ask is the lady I bought this from said it was from the early 1900's. So before I toss in the<strike> washer </strike>maybe you can tell how I should carefully wash it also.. ( it smells a little musky from sitting in the trunk)</span></span><br />

The other day while looking for something to dress up my tee shirt and remembering I had just done the rosette swap. A light bulb moment went off in my head to make a rosette while still keeping a tie style for my tee shirt! Simply adorable!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I like to use pure silk ties they are just easier to shape and sew ...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PQtFM2VXh6A/THNBpkfWmyI/AAAAAAAAASE/7bJYY4j1P1o/s1600/tie+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PQtFM2VXh6A/THNBpkfWmyI/AAAAAAAAASE/7bJYY4j1P1o/s320/tie+2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">When my teen girls saw it on, they too feel in love with them! This is such a great way to re-purpose old vintage ties! I added a little "bling" for the picture but, I believe either way these ties are great way of dressing up any plain old tee shirt or blouse. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I would love to know what you think and see what you are creating this week...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I am feeling like have a A Vintage Sassy Pink Saturday.. I am addicted to the color Pink, in all shades<br />
<br />
The Meanings of the Color PINK ♥<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pink is the color of universal love. Pink is a quiet color. Lovers of beauty favor pink. A pink carnation means "I will never forget you".</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </div><h2>Pink Color Meaning with Boys & Girls WWII<br />
</h2>Interestingly, during the time of the Great Depression, pink was associated with boys instead of girls because it was seen as more decided and masculine, while blue was associated with girls because it was seen as more dainty and delicate. This color stereotype was later inverted after World War II. <br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><h2 style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pink Energy</h2><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pink is a combination of red and white. The quality of energy in pink is determined by how much red is present. White is the potential for fullness, while red helps you to achieve that potential. Pink combines these energies. Shades of deep pink, such as magenta, are effective in neutralizing disorder and violence. Some prisons use limited deep pink tones to diffuse aggressive behavior. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pink provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Put some pink in your life when you want:</b> </div><ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><li class="td"><b>calm feelings</b> </li>
<li class="td"><b>to neutralize disorder</b> </li>
<li class="td"><b>relaxation</b> </li>
<li class="td"><b>acceptance, contentment</b></li>
</ul><br />
<br />

I have been teaching my youngest daughter how to make jams using the old fashions canning method. It's amazing how it is a lost art in cooking these days! <br /><br />I grew up with both of my grandmothers cooking in the kitchen from scratch. And I have always learned to love the enjoys of cooking for fun and family. It's been such a pleasure to show my girls how to cook too.<br /><br />When I married my DH his mother is a great baker and loved canning. So now I am passing those skills and techniques on to girls hoping they will share with their children.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy and try the recipe too! Very simple to make<br /><br />JALAPENO JELLY <br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br /> * 10 jalapeno peppers, chopped (I do this in food processor)<br /> * 1 bell pepper, chopped (I do this in food processor)<br /> * 2 additional jalapeno peppers, diced and seeded<br /> * 4 -1/4 cups granulated sugar<br /> * 1-1/2 cups apple cider vinegar<br /> * 4 ounces liquid pectin<br /> * pinch salt<br /><br />Cooking Directions<br /><br /> 1. To a sauce pan, add chopped jalapeno peppers an cider vinegar.<br /> 2. Bring it to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes.<br /> 3. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth and remove the pulp.<br /> 4. Add strained liquid back into saucepan. Stir in salt and sugar. Mix to dissolve.<br /> 5. Increase heat and boil about 1 minute. Stir in pectin.<br /> 6. Add diced jalapeno peppers and mix.<br /> 7. Add mixture to sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace.<br /> 8. Seal jars in a hot water bath and refrigerate.<br /><br />.</p>The Chateau of Remnantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07830526962639560040noreply@blogger.com2
