    ::: COFFEE :::

    I love my french press as well.  I happened to see a really simple one in a thrift store for $1.50 about a month ago.  Couldn't pass that up!  It makes 2 cups, so it is very small which is a big plus.  I put hot water in the press and add a tsp of coffee and stir.  After...

    Setting up my trailer solar to power camper van

    I pull a 14ft V-nose cargo trailer behind my camper van.&nbsp; The trailer carries my motorcycle, 4 wheeler and other necessities.&nbsp; There is easily room in it for a battery bank.&nbsp; The top of the trailer would make a good area for solar panels.&nbsp; The part that I'm not sure about is...

    How do you all store your food?

    I store a lot of food in 5 gallon buckets...some with gamma lids.&nbsp; For traveling in the campervan I have 2 shelves that run about half the length of the van up high on the walls and I have been amazed at how much I've been able to fit up there.&nbsp; I also have a slide out narrow pantry...

    Single females in SE Texas?

    Dating any time after your 20's stinks.&nbsp; Yes, it seems like everyone wants someone half their age.&nbsp; I get hit on quite a bit by men in their 60's and 70's....almost never by someone even remotely near my age(42).&nbsp; Frankly after dealing with both of my ex's, and attempting the...

    Holidays and Being Single

    Holidays are horrible for me.&nbsp; The only family that I cared about or cared about me are dead.&nbsp; I now plan for holidays and generally try to be traveling at that time or have something set up so that I'm busy, but it doesn't have anything to do with the holiday.&nbsp; The absolute worst...

    Cooking from scratch VS. prepackaged foods?

    I almost always cook from scratch.&nbsp; When I was first on my own I used a cornbread mix for a dinner that my Grandma was coming to because I figured it would be faster.&nbsp; Until the day she died, she didn't let me forget about using a mix!!&nbsp; Forever after that she would ask if I'd...

    Public shower precautions

    I hope that everyone is taking precautions when using public showers.&nbsp; When we think about the lack of cleanliness in showers, we often think about getting a fungus or something that can be taken care of by something that can be bought over the counter.&nbsp; No big deal right?&nbsp...

    That was VERY helpful Cyndi!&nbsp; I have used the refrigerator while I have been in areas that aren't as hot as here.&nbsp; The manual I read through your link specified that it may not work if the ambient temperature is 100 or more.&nbsp; It's been hitting 110 degrees here daily and I don't...

    2 way refrigerator suddenly quit working. Help!

    It doesn't have a brand name visible anywhere.&nbsp; It runs off of 12 volt and electricity.&nbsp; No propane.&nbsp; I did take off the bottom cover and the coils are in good condition, not even much dust.

    I turned on the refrigerator in my camper van yesterday evening so that it would be good and cold to put stuff into so that I could leave today.&nbsp; This morning the refrigerator was not at all cold even though the indicator light was on and I could hear a normal sounding humming noise.&nbsp...

    Any SHOOTERS out there.

    Due to the current sky high price of ammo....I'm not wealthy enough to enjoy this sport any more.&nbsp; I do put a couple of clips of ammo through my carry pistol on a regular basis to keep myself fresh and to keep my accuracy.<br><br>If ammo was cheap enough, yeah I enjoy target shooting.&nbsp...

    Tried out my new thermal cooker today

    <br><br>Lets see if I can translate my cornbread recipe into something y'all could cook.&nbsp; I use my hand and a 'tablespoon' for measuring ingredients.&nbsp; When I'm at home with a regular oven I heat up some oil in an iron skillet.&nbsp; When I'm on the road or in the summer when I don't...
