What Could Possibly Be on This Channel About Writing Books and Being an Author?
Food and writing most likely. I'm big into NOT being a starving artist, but that stereotype is very real.
I could talk about what I'm working on next.
I could tell you that a book is almost finished.
I could read exerpts that are in that book.
I could show you a process for writing or editing books.
It could be about groceries, because the starving artist thing is real.
Or it could be some random thought because authors have a lot of random thoughts. We really do.

Indiana weather has finally gotten on my last nerve- So much for going to the store today
This weather is beyond irritating. It has not cleared up nor warmed up in more than a week. If this were a luxury resort, like I'm being charged for this year, it wouldn't be so bad, but there's no hot chocolate downstairs, a bar or a giant fireplace by which to read or watch the other vacationers. And there's certainly no room service or satellite TV! We don't even have a general store or a gift shop or anything. Yeahhh.... So bad weather and no amenities.
Oh, and they want me to recommend people to move into this hell hole with no amenities and overprice rental land for your TRAILER. And let's not forget the nasty raccoon infestation and possums and skunks......
It's just plain miserable....

Food Pantry Haul Week of January 8 2025 - Good milk and eggs and cookies!
Просмотров 215 часов назад
I truly do not know what I would do without the food pantry. I wasn't sure they'd get out this way this week due to the weather, but they were able to come by. I have been unable to get out due to the weather and snow.

Putting the Vevor Trike Bike Together Part 1 - It's worse than the reviews say it is.
Просмотров 9723 часа назад
The first thing that you'll notice when you get this adult trike bike is that someone had fun with staples. All kinds of staples. Big staples. Little staples. so many staples! It's horrible to put together. I noticed in the reviews that some people were just taking it straight to their local bike shop and letting them put it together. Well, if I had the money to do that, I would have ordered th...
How to Format For Publication After Using Novel Writing Software
Просмотров 52 часа назад
If you use novel writing software, you may have noticed that it's a nightmare to format for publication. Let's take a look at just how hard it is and what you have to do to overcome it. I will say that it's been a LOnnnnngggggggg time since I've had to do this. Most of the time, I'm writing in Libreoffice. My novels are all formatted the same, so I just have to grab a bit of whatever novel I ju...

Monday Snow Update From Indiana

It wasn't as awful as they're predicting. If it weren't 23 degrees out, it'd be a great day to go play in the snow. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. Later this week, the temps will get down to 5 and 6 degrees. So, we're not out of the woods yet. It's just that the snow wasn't as terrible as predicted. Stay safe out there folks!

The struggle is real , Im in Kentucky and same situation . I hate it !!!
Thousands of people in California are homeless due to raging fires. I think you will be ok.
I wouldn't be anymore tolerant of that situation than of the one I'm currently in. In fact, I'd probably have a longer rant for that one. They need to have a mega-investigation for that one.
Sorry for the struggle you're dealing with stacey. If i lived closer I'd come drive ya in my jeep! It's a shame no one can swing by and give you a quick ride. 😢
Thank for the thought! I think if at all possible, I just need to get out of this location. Someone asked me if I lived near the beach when I was showing off my new bike... my answer - Not yet.... I just gotta figure out how to get someplace warmer while still having that place be affordable. - I think I've just lost my tolerance for being stuck inside. I did that for 3 years. I'm over it for any and every reason.
You can make lots with what you've got, and with what's on your freezer!! ❤
That is so true! I actually still have the new york strip steaks that I got on Manager special a few weeks ago and ham I got back in November.....lol
@staceycarroll7973 I have things in the bottom of my deep freezer I should probably toss, but I think I keep it in case of the apocalypse.
Hey Stacey! May I ask what equipment to you need to have a channel?
Minimum equipment: A cell phone and a stand. It can even just be the stand that came with a cell phone case. A computer - Almost every video needs to be edited in some way. A microphone - In case you have to do a voice over Software for editing sound and video Audacity - creates and edits sound files Shotcut - Video editing software. Learning curve is steep OPenshot - Video software. Learning curve is not steep, but you'll get tired of it crashing. It's a good place to start for learning video software That's the min equipment list. As the channel grows/earns money, buy better equipment. (I'll probably be stuck using a cell phone until at least summer. My zooom has gone kersplat.)
"I haven't been able to find the directions yet" made me L
Right. I unboxed it and was like - uhhhh.... directions?
Such a nice lady ❤
What kind of yeast did you use? Was it instant?
I am using Bob's Red Mill Active Dry yeast. It's one of my favorite yeasts to use.
@ thank you so much!
Growing up, people would cook ground beef and cooked white gravy and mix the gravy and cooked ground beef together and poured it over toast it was so delicious 😋 ❤ Im going to cook what you just cooked this weekend. It looks delicious 😋 Thanks for sharing 🎉
I wondered if anyone had ever made it with ground beef.... this gives me an idea though. - ground beef, onions, potatoes, gravy..... And put it all over biscuits! or put that in a baking dish and drop some drop biscuits on the top of it and bake it for 30 mins...... and cover that in butter....... (gee I have no idea why I'm overweight... LOL) Enjoy the gravy this weekend! Let me know how it turns out!
The original is made with salted beef, it's extremely salty.. back on the day the preserved beef was an extremely affordable option. Now that salted beef is astronomical. I love it's flavor, my mom made it a lot when I was little. Over toast!
I've never had salted beef. I used to know of a few places out on the east coast when I was out there that sold salted meats, but I never bought any. It was interesting to look at them though!
@staceycarroll7973 yeah it's thin sliced like lunch meat, but it's dried and heavily salted for preservation. They roll it up and jar it or into a packet
Looks delicious! 😋
It's amazing. I highly recommend trying it.
It looks terrific.
It was excellent. I bet it'd even be good with something like leftover roast.
Wait - I’m just starting this video and THAT APRON IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
You should have done a spice haul at DG! They're still one of the most affordable I've found. 😊being very resourceful. As you were cooking the bbq i was thinking I'd whip up some easy taters! Stacey, do you have a PO box, by chance?
Yes - this!!! If not, do you have any stores nearby that will allow you to do “In Store Pick-Up”? I know Dollar General stopped, but maybe CVS?
Not as of yet. PO boxes are outside of my budget atm. And yes, I agree. I should seriously do a spice run at DG.
Nothing in town does in-store pickup. It's just a really really really small town. I'm lucky to have the CVS and Dollar general here.
Oh man - that stinks! My CVS does in store pick up, so I was hoping that yours does as well. I rarely use my $10 CVS Extra Bucks I get so I was hoping I could put them to good use. Keep up the amazing work - really love watching these videos, and truly appreciate how you share your food pantry hauls and recipes 💙💙 I worked at a Food Bank for YEARS, and am always begging people to utilize the service if they qualify. Those pantry facilities stay open only when the demand is there, and stores can only donate if the facilities are open. The more they’re used? The more frequent the donations from surrounding businesses. 💙 THANK YOU for sharing, normalizing and making amazing dishes with your hauls!!!
Thank you for the thought. You are so sweet! If you're having trouble with your $10 extra-bucks, buy the TP. CVS TP is $12.50ish. If you use your $10 extrabucks on that, you'll pay $2.50. Well, for the thousand sheet anyway. But that's what I do and a few of my subscribers do that too if they don't need anything else. and yes, you are so right about food pantries. They have to be used in order ot stay open. Mine used to actually tell us that. They'd be like -We NEEED you to come get the food so we can get more food/donations/yada yada.. However, mine is so hammered right now they are having trouble keeping up. It's like a double-edged sword. I'm very happy to be presenting this as a viable option for getting food, and I'm so sorry that myself and many many many others need this in order to make ends meet and eat! However, I know that if I ever get on my feet, I will be donating to my local food pantry. They have helped me a great deal and continue to do so. Thank you so much, and I am so glad you are enjoying the videos!
White appliances is even worst.
At least you can see the grime of a while appliance. Mine hides it pretty well until it's terrible.
I am glad you stocked up.
thank you! I am too! I was really worried after I missed getting out Saturday that I wouldn't be able to. I really lucked out. the people just 50 miles south of me really got hammered.
The black stare... omg what the f...
LOL . . Yes . . .It's the stare of -Whhhyyyyyyy meeeeee . .whhhhhyyyyyy meeeeee.. I have moved on to bears and lions growing.
great video! My daughter loves naan bread, but its so expensive to buy. I will definitely try this recipe.
I'm so glad you liked the video. Yeah, naan is high. I think it was 44 for 2 peices back when I was buying it and not making it. It's high. this is wayyyy cheaper.
We're getting hammered, and there's another round coming. Did you hear about the second storm next weekend? Ugg
UGhhhhh ., . .No, I didn't hear about a second storm coming next weekend! I think I'd be thrilled if I were at a ski resort and they were serving me hot toddies by the fireplace. or hot mulled wine. then, I could watch the snow and sit by the fireplace. Stay safe and warm!
@staceycarroll7973 you too Stacey. I think we'd alllll enjoy a hot chocolate by the fireplace. 🌨❤️
Yummy. You did great on the trash bags for sure. I'm down to my last one. 😅 my favorite trail mix is called "monster" is like the monster cookie. 😊
that trail mix sounds good! I got lucky on the trash bags. I was down to my last one when I saw the deal. Normally, I get the 15 bags for $2 at DG, but they're terrible! If you're not careful, you can put your hand right throgh them. The CVS bags are much better, and those are scented. hehe
I pick up from the food bank for a friend and deliver it to her. Nice when there is milk and eggs. Last time was juice, she’s diabetic so that helps.
That's so nice of you. Mine usually has milk and eggs. They don't have any juice or applesauce right now due to the prices. I'm not surprised food is so pricy that even the food pantries are suffering.
I shop at DG a great deal, I wish their frozen foods and dairy etc were more reasonable, but I guess they're considered convenient. 😅 you needed that powdered sugar for your icing! Generic cookies 3.50!? Wow, they got you. Apparently it's a thing for the prices to be wrong at dg, I've never noticed myself.
I'm positive the prices I quoted were the prices I saw. Minus the chocolate chip cookies.Those said $1.35! I barely shop at DG in the winter. It's a 3 mile round trip with no sidewalks. And they're prices are very high. The local grocery is the same price or cheaper usually. However, DG has more variety on non-food items. and the antacids are $5 for 50 tablets, which is why I went down there yesterday. (the antacids were so important that I stuck them in my purse!) the eggs yesterday were $5,.15. I didn't look at much else. But hte last time I bought the chicken fried steaks, they were $9.99, and the fries were $6.... Somewhere around $6.
God be with you.
You got stuff you really needed, and a blizzard is coming.
Exactly. I had to have this stuff, or the next few days/week would have been misreable, and I don't think the food pantry will be open next week.
Love your bike!
Thank you! I think it'll be a great bike. It got me to the store and back in record time to spite the fact that I still have more work to do to it.
The cake looks yummy. Thanks for the tips on adding fruit and the glaze.
You are super welcome! I recommend all people try this cake. It was amazing!
Lmao stacey when the glaze ate your second spoon i cackled. It's so annoying when it happens, so relatable
Right! I was like OMG . . . WHY ME!???? And then I was like - I could cut this out. Then, I was like - No... I'll leave it in. Kinda sums up this whole cake making thing cause it didn't go well! LOL It was a delicious cake though! That icing turned out good. I ate that cake a lot faster than I intended.
This sounds so good! I haven't decided what I'm baking during our snow storm. 😂
I might make doughnuts. I haven't decided. Or cookies. I got some powdered sugar, chocolate chips and oil at the store today. I'll have my blizzard haul up later today since it's relevent to .. uhhh . .right now. LOL It was mostly snacks and OMG was it expensive.
Oh my goodness. Doesn't she look darling in that apron!? ❤
Yep, there's those eggs...over $6 a dozen here for just the white eggs.🤪
I don't doubt it! The Dollar general here is charging $5 for a dosen white eggs. I didn't check the eggs at the local grocery yesterday but eggs aren't in my budget, so I'm glad the food pantry has them!
I need to run out and get a few things, we have a huge snow coming..
So do we! I didn't realize it until my sister-in-law said something the other day. Blizzard conditions from Tomorrow into Monday. That's why I ran out yesterday on a bike that hadn't been properly tested! If I can get the back brake working, I might head out again today! I didn't do well yesterday. Toilet paper, kleenex, toothpaste, flour, jalepenos, paper towels, coffee and cheese. I needed about twice that, but I was flustered because of the bike not working right and the crowd! OMG... so many people at my little grocery. If I don't manage to get out, I'm all right. I just really wish I would have picked up some oil!
@staceycarroll7973 yes!! Blizzard conditions and possible bad ice. I'm worried about power outages, more than anything. 😔 If it's just a heavy snow, I'd like to do some baking while it's going on to complete the cozy feel. You stay safe, stacey!!
OMG... I hadn't heard about ice. *runs over to accuweather* Ok, no ice here..... That would be bad. I am worried about the power too. The power goes out here if a gnat farts in the wrong direction, so that's a real possibility even without ice. My stove, however, is gas, so I can light that regardless. But that's my plan. That's why I bought the flour. I'll just bake all evening today and probably tomorrow. Stay safe yourself! I reread the weather formy location and it's 6 to 8 inches! Bundle up and stay warm!
@@staceycarroll7973 if you didn't think about it, candles. ❤️✌️
It didn't. And I just looked in my candle box. I have a few. I think they'll get me through this. Then, I'll have to find some more.
For the most part, good stuff.
haha . . .that was my opinion of it too! Brown eggs and good milk = yay! Soy rice mix...... ooohhhh........
Great looking french toast.
thank you! It was delicious
Cute apron.. I have a sister that her two favorite things were books and cats. She would have loved that apron, I'm more of a dog person myself. But I love me some french toast😋
That's awesome. I also love books and cats. I have a whole library of books, and I've owned a few cats over the years. No cats currently though. I need to get some more of the material I used for this apron. I want to make some pillows and a quit and a few other things out of it.
Wow, you sewed it. That's awesome. My sister also was a beautiful seamstress. She made my wedding dress and a lot of clothes for me when I was little.
@@esteeb42 Yeah, I made it myself. I also made one of the quilts on my bed, and I have a quilt I made on my couch. I'm passable as a seamstress. If I want to make something, I can get it done, and it's usable, but it's not perfect.
love the apron❤❤
Thank you! I made it myself.
@staceycarroll7973 nice job
I love French toast 😉
Me too!
Sure look delish. Yummers❤
Oh Stacey what a cute little apron. You are turning into a regular betty crocker
Thank you! You know, I was looking for a copy of the 1970s Betty Crocker cookbook the other day. LOL I found it but it was $40+ Yikes! I wish my mom's would have survived the years. That's the book I used to learn how to cook!
I find it funny when US brands name things "mexican" just for marketing haha. I've never seen that type of cheese over here in Mexico. That pizza looks bomb tho. I've never thought of putting meatballs in a pizza before, but now I want to try it so bad.
You should definately try a meatball pizza! I love meatball pizzas. and LOL... I'm sure I've never had authentic mexican food ever. So I'm not surprised that you don't have "Mexican" cheese in Mexico. I can say it's a great marketing ploy because Americans Loooovvvveeeee Mexican food, even if it's just Americanized Mexican food! But now I totally need to know - What cheese do you use on your food?
@staceycarroll7973 It depends on the region, but the most common cheese for melting we use over here in the west is Quesillo from Oaxaca (aka oaxacan cheese) and Asadero from Chihuahua; they have a similar texture to low moisture mozzarella, but the taste is a bit different. Now, specifically for pizza, most people just use plain old mozzarella haha
