WinterSilks & Thermasilk Thermal Underwear for Women

Over 30 years ago, I discovered WinterSilks thermal underwear for women.  I have survived many winters and enjoyed lots of outdoor activity thanks to this thin, lightweight easy to wear thermal underwear.

I've never been fond of coats.  The bulk and extra weight of a coat has simply been too restricting in my personal opinion.  I also hate to cover up my pretty sweaters with a coat.  However, the idea of wearing thermal underwear didn't initially have an appeal, especially those made of heavy fabrics to be worn under my clothes.  I was quite hesitant to spend the money to try WinterSilks.  For our income, they were pretty expensive, so I asked for them for Christmas.  I must say, silk thermal underwear is totally fabulous!

WinterSilks brand is no longer made, but a comparable brand, Thermasilk, promises to be just as good, although I won't be able to tell for sure for another 30 years.

I've worn my WinterSilks many times in freezing weather as we enjoyed outdoor vacations, tours, and activities.  While there are some things that I still require a coat to endure, the silk thermal underwear is the best foundation for staying warm.

Keep in mind, they are meant to be worn under your clothes, therefore they are not "pretty".  Also, proper care is essential to longevity.  I do machine wash my silk thermal underwear in a mesh washing machine laundry bag, on cold.  I do not dry them in the dryer.  I hang them to dry. 

 

Thermasilk Thermal Underwear for Women

 Terramar Women's Thermasilk Pointelle ScoopCheck Price

I once thought thermal underwear was just too bulky to wear in public.  When I was younger, I did have a pair of thermal underwear pants that I wore under my gowns for warmth.  They would never have been daytime wear since they would have been like wearing a second pair of pants under my slacks.  

Silk thermal underwear is a totally different thing!  It is thin and lightweight, even though it is temperature regulated and moisture wicking.  I do wear my silk underwear under my slacks or jeans and can't visually tell I am wearing anything under my pants.  I can feel the waistband on the pants, but that is the only indication that I am wearing anything extra.

The pants are sold separately which is fabulous for those of us who need one size in a top, but a different size for the bottom.

Easy and Delicious Marinara Sauce Recipe Served on Rotini Pasta

My inspiration for this recipe is very surprising!  I spent several days and nights at the hospital with a family member that didn't need to be left alone.  The food served to the patient was ghastly.  In the hospitals defense, I do realize they are cooking and serving hundreds of people with a variety of preferences.  That is not a job I would want.  It is unlikely anyone is happy with their food.  Because I was staying around the clock with my family member, I was able to ask my husband to bring food to us.  Therefore, the hospital food most often went uneaten.  

Surprisingly, on the last day we were there, they served spaghetti, which happens to be the patient's favorite food.  It smelled delicious!  After sampling a few bits, it was declared a good meal.  Before they took the tray away, I also tasted the sauce so I could replicate it once we got home.  It was very easy to identify the ingredients in the simple sauce.  It truly made me wonder why I had not considered making something like it before.

Two nights later, I made my version of that marinara sauce and served it to my family.  Would you believe my husband said it was the best he had ever tasted?  I was shocked.  My entire family loves it and we have eaten twice since then.  I have tweaked it slightly, but it is a very basic and easy to make marinara sauce.  

 

Diced Tomato Marinara Sauce on Rotini Pasta

At the hospital, they served the sauce on top of rotini pasta.  What a great idea!  Rotini pasta is shaped to hold the sauce within its twisted spirals.  That makes it perfect for a thin sauce.

Topped with a bit of mozzarella cheese and basil, we hit perfection.  A simple sauce almost anyone can enjoy because it is not heavily "flavored".  Of course, you can add garlic, onion, or other typical ingredients if desired, but we like it simple.

 

Ingredients 

• 2 cans of 14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes (we prefer Good & Gather brand) 

• 2 small cans of Hunts tomato sauce (8 ounces)  

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano 

• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning 

• freeze dried basil 

• Salt and black pepper to taste 

• 1 Tablespoon Butter 

• Pinch of sugar (to balance acidity)  

 

Instructions 

1. Heat 2 small cans of tomato sauce covered for 10 min to thicken  

2. Stir in the diced tomatoes along with their juice

3. Add oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper 

4. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then turn the heat to low. Partially cover the pot with a tilted lid and let it simmer for 20 - 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

5. Stir in a pinch of sugar and the butter for flavor.  Stir together until butter is completely melted

6. Sprinkle with Mozzarella Cheese & Basil as each dish is prepared

Ready to serve!

Fudge Made With Baking Chocolate Recipe Reviewed

This is a quick and easy fudge recipe that anyone can use to make a foolproof fudge.  Using baking chocolate bars ensures success.  I also love the taste of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk.  Eagle Brand combined with proven name brand chocolate bars, makes this recipe a real winner and it is, indeed, delicious!

Normally I use Baker's brand baking chocolate bars, but I most recently tried making this fudge with Ghirardelli Premium Bittersweet Baking Chocolate Bars (shown in the photo below).  Because I like the Ghirardelli brownie mix, I thought I would probably like their chocolate bars too.  Bittersweet chocolate has more cacao and less sugar than semi-sweet.  I could tell a slight difference, but that might simply be because I was looking for a difference in taste. Therefore, I would say either brand is excellent.

Everyone in our home loved the fudge.  I added nuts to half of it for the nut lovers and left the other half plain.  

This fudge takes about 20 minutes to make and another 2 hours to set in the refrigerator.   

 

 T-fal Specialty Nonstick Double Boiler 3 Quart Check PriceBaking Bars Fudge Recipe

A double boiler is required for this fudge to keep it from burning while cooking.  A double boiler is a set of 2 stackable pans, one sits inside of the other and is very easy to use.  It cooks with steam instead of direct heat.  

Simply add about 2 inches of water to the lower saucepan, bring it to a boil then turn down to simmer.  Place the upper saucepan filled with ingredients on the top and cook until melted, stirring continuously.

 

Ingredients 

• 20 ounces (5 - 4 oz bars) semi-sweet bakers chocolate – broken into small pieces 
• 1 - 14-ounce can Eagle’s Brand sweetened condensed milk 
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature) cut into pieces
• chopped nut, if desired 

 

Instructions

1. Set out butter an hour ahead of time to bring to room temperature 
2. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, allowing the excess paper to hang over the sides. 
3. In a top pan of double boiler, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, butter, and chocolate pieces. 
4. Fill the lower saucepan with 2" of water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Place the ingredients (top pan) on top of the bottom pan.  
5. Using a rubber spatula, stir until the chocolate is almost fully melted, about 4 minutes.  
6. Remove the top pan from the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is fully melted, about 2 minutes.  
7. Add nuts, if desired and spread into the prepared lined pan 
8. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.  
9. Remove the fudge from the pan using the edges of the parchment paper to lift it out and cut into serving squares. 

 

You can leave the fudge out at room temperature for 1 or 2 weeks or it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. You may also freeze the fudge for up to two months.

Kong Wubba Halloween Bat for Dogs Reviewed

Some toys are just too cute!  I bought this Kong Wubba bat for our Labrador retriever, Watson.  He loves Wubbas and the bat seemed like the perfect Halloween gift.  Of course, I gave it to him weeks before Halloween.  He immediately started carrying it around as his favorite new toy.  He even "flew" the bat around the backyard so it could get a good look at it's new home.

The Wubba bat is absolutely adorable with it's big smile and silver wings.  Like other Wubba toys, it has the long floppy tails that make it easy for a pup to catch and carry.  It also has the squeaker in the round "head" which seems to bring great joy to Watson as he bites down on the Wubba.

Watson's Bat Wubba is black and orange, as shown in the photos.  However, the bat Wubbas on Amazon are black and purple.  Either set of colors are awesome!

Watson and His Wubba

 

KONG Wubba Bat Toy

 KONG Halloween Wubba Bat Small 2 Pack Check PriceThe black and purple colors of the bat that is available on Amazon are perfect for Halloween or anytime of the year!  

The silver wings on all of the bats make them glisten in the sun when our dog is running through the yard with the bat in his mouth.  The reflective wings also make this Wubba easier to find. 

The rugged reinforced nylon exterior is durable and great for dogs chewing, biting, and playtime.  

Wubba's are always fun toys for the toss-and-catch game between people and pets.   

This Wubba's height is 9.5 inches and has a 7" wide wingspan.

Halloween Vampire Costume for Dogs Reviewed

This will be our first Halloween with our baby dog, Watson, so of course, he needs a special costume.  The vampire cape seemed like the perfect choice for him since each member of our family has a vampire cape.  Plus, even sweet, non-biting dogs like Watson have canine teeth that look like vampire fangs.

The vampire cape I selected for Watson has really pretty trim that is "fancier" and more detailed than any that is on our human capes.  It is quite lovely.  The cape is black with a red lining, which is exactly like our family capes.  The red lining makes an excellent background color for Watson's gorgeous black fur.

I can hardly wait until the trick-or-treaters to come to our door on Halloween.  We will let Watson sit inside the glass front door as our greeter.  However, we will not let him out for them to pet this year.  Since he is only a year old, he gets pretty excited to meet and greet guests.  He still needs a few years to mature before he will be ready to interact, but he can clearly serve inside the door as "sentinel" this year.  

 

Halloween Vampire Cape Costume for Dogs

 Halloween Dog Vampire CostumeCheck PriceI purchased a large size cape for Watson.  As you can see in his photo in the introduction, the cape is not as long as it looks on the German Shepherd in the photo on the right.  Frankly, I'm not sure the product photo on the right is a real photo of a dog actually wearing the cape, but the large cape we received for Watson is the perfect size for him.  He is not likely to be tripping on it or getting tangled in it if he takes off running in the backyard.  

There are also leg straps on each side of the cape.  We are not using them. Watson is too active to have straps around the top of his legs.  However, if he was going to sit still, they would be good for holding the cape in place.  

One important thing to note, I was surprised at the quality of the fabric on this pet costume.  It is not flimsy and doesn't look or feel like it will be easy to tear.  It is also a soft, silky type of material, not one that will be itchy for baby dog to wear.  That makes this pet costume more desirable than most since they often use inferior fabric on dog costumes.   

 

Watson is also actually wearing his cape in the introduction photo above!  

Here is a side picture of Watson in his cape.  You can see how far down his back the cape really goes.  Of course, you can also see he adores his daddy!

Small Automatic Sensor Touchless Lidded Trash Can Reviewed

I like having a garbage can in each bathroom, but I don't want one that takes up a lot of room.  Our half bath is small and has only the area on each side of the toilet for anything extra.  I already have my toilet paper holder storage stand on one side, which leaves only the other side for a small garbage can.  

I had several concerns when I started looking for a garbage can for our half bathroom.  It needed to be small and it definitely needed to have a lid.  Our baby dog, Watson, thinks any "box" needs to be investigated.  An open garbage can is an open invitation for him to inspect.  

A Kleenex is one of Watson's favorite finds.  He also thinks toilet paper rolls are fun toys.  I don't really mind him having either as long as they are clean, but a used Kleenex should be off limits to our baby dog.  I also want him protected from Q-tips or the plastic wrappers on bottles, like mouthwash.  

Unfortunately, like most people, we also have flies that come in when an exterior door is opened.  They are always drawn to smells or damp paper towels.  Having a lidded trash can traps trash odors and dampness inside the can so it doesn't draw flies. 

Therefore, a lid is essential. 

 

Automatic Touchless Garbage Can 

 KOEYLE 2 Pack 2.2 Gallon Automatic Touchless Garbage Can, Small Motion Sensor Smart Trash Can, Slim Waterproof Trash Bin for Bedroom, Bathroom, Office, Living Room, WhiteAs I previously noted, this is a small trash can, therefore it fits perfectly between the wall and the toilet.  

The touchless lid has a motion sensor and opens automatically so germs are not transferred on or off your hands.  Since you don't need to touch the lid to open or close it, the lid itself stays cleaner.  My husband frequently comes into the house with dirty hands from working on the cars or in the backyard.  He can toss paper towels directly in the trash can without touching it and then wash his hands.

I like the ability to toss Q-tips, cleaning wipes, tissues, cotton balls, product wrappers, mouthwash cups, etc. in the trashcan without having to have a free hand to open the lid.  As with all trash can lids, it prevents odor from spreading outside of the can. 

• Battery (2 AA batteries) Operated Sensor Lid
• Opens when Motion Detected 
• Closes when No Motion is Detected for 5 seconds 
• 2.2 Gallon
• Uses Small Interior Trash Bags
• Interior Trash Bag Retention Ring to Hold Trash Bag in place
• Waterproof & Moisture Resistant 
• 9.3" L x 6" W x 12.6" H
• Available in White or Black 

This touchless trash can will also open manually.  Simply press the up arrow button to open. After use, just press the down arrow button to close the lid.  This is a fabulous feature for replacing the trash bag or activities like clipping nails over the bin.

Friendly Ghost Halloween Decor Reviewed

I have always had an affinity for ghosts at Halloween.  Not the scary kind of ghost, but the friendly kind with smiling faces.  Perhaps, that is because I watched the cartoon, Casper, when I was a child.  I don't have a problem with adding vampires, monsters, pumpkins, and bats to our Halloween decor, but the friendly ghosts are my favorite.

Everyone in my family knows I love the happy ghosts.  A few years ago, my husband saw a BOO ghost pillow in Home Depot and was excited to bring it home to me.  I do love that pillow!  It sits in my craft room chair during the off season.

A few days ago, my son came home with a white stoneware ghost platter from Target.  I enjoy making special treats for my family and I like having seasonal plates for displaying those treats.  The ceramic ghost plate is perfect!  It is absolutely adorable on the table with or without snacks on it, which makes it the best type of seasonal kitchen decor for Halloween. 

Several years ago, we were in our dentist office and they had a tinsel ghost hanging on their wall.  I loved that ghost, so I came home and searched for one on Amazon.  Now, we have a friendly tinsel ghost that hangs on our front door for Halloween. It is really a cute welcoming character for trick or treaters. 

All of my friendly ghost have their special places for Halloween.  Each one makes me happy when I see it.  Halloween is fun, it doesn't have to be scary to be awesome decor! 

 

Friendly Ghost Pillows

Now that I have one ghost pillow, I want more!  I love having soft cushiony pillows on a couch or in chairs.  These pillows are even "pet" worthy.

Stoneware Ghost Plates

 Halloween Ghost Char-Boo-Tier Serving Platter - Hyde and EEK! BoutiqueCheck PriceUntil my son gave me the ghost platter, I have never had a shaped tray or dish for Halloween.  Of course, I have black trays for Halloween parties, but I love the idea of having a large plate or tray that is shaped like a ghost.  They certainly will add a touch of fun to the party table.  When the tray is not being used as a server, it sits on my dining room table as Halloween decor.

The platter looks like it is ceramic, but it is actually stoneware.  This platter is microwave safe and dishwasher safe.  It is a really nice serving platter size at 10" x 12.5".

I am not a Target affiliate, therefore I will not earn a commission if you purchase the ghost platter, but I think it is feature worthy regardless.    

 

Friendly Tinsel Ghost

It is so much fun to have a tinsel ghost on my front door.  Since it is white, I don't have to worry about color fading. The tinsel shines in the sunlight and is fabulously adorable during the daytime. We leave our porch light on so our friendly ghost is still visable at night. The tinsel ghost is part of a set. Our son loves the bat and my husband likes pumpkins, so they all get used somewhere in the house, but the ghost gets the predominate spot on our front door.

Halloween Milk-Bone Spooky Biscuits Flavored Dog Treats Reviewed

It has become a tradition in our home to gift our precious dog with holiday milk-bones.  He loves all milk-bones, including the puppy sized milk-bone treats.  Even though he is slightly over a year old, we are letting him finish off the small sized puppy milk-bone biscuits. 

With Halloween approaching, I actually searched for the Halloween holiday Milk-Bone biscuits so stores didn't sell out before I got them for him.  I purchased 3 boxes.  When the box arrived, Watson, our baby dog, attacked the box.  Clearly, he smelled the Milk-Bone treats through the shipping box.  He was extremely excited for me to get the box open quickly so he could start his feast.  He sought out his favorite shape.  I don't know if he chose the ghost because of the shape, smell, flavor, or color, but the ghost is his favorite of the spooky treats.

There are 4 different spooky biscuits in the box:  Ghost, Pumpkin, Monster, & Bat.  Totally appropriate Halloween treats for the canine member of the family!

French Boned Chicken Recipe Reviewed

I love cookbooks!  I have been "collecting" them my entire adult life.  My French Boned Chicken recipe is one I discovered in a cookbook over 30 years ago and I have been making it ever since.  

I have never served this chicken recipe to anyone that didn't like it.  While some may not eat the bacon or the dried beef that layers the bottom of the dish, they still enjoy the tender chicken and sauce.

The french boned chicken recipe is very easy to make.  It is prepared in a casserole dish which makes for an easy clean up and doesn't make a mess in my oven.

I normally serve the french boned chicken on top of plain white rice for household.  However, I occasionally make wild rice too so guests have another option.  We do have one family member that prefers wild rice and that is how I started making both types of rice when we have guests.

 

French Boned Chicken Recipe   

Ingredients 

The Dried Beef is the ingredient 
that is not common in many kitchens

• 8 Thin-sliced Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts - (4 Breasts) Or 4 thicker that can be cut in half 
• Bacon (uncooked) 
• 1 Armour Sliced Dried Beef 
• 3 Cans Cream of Celery Soup 
• ¾ Cup Water 
• Rice

 

Directions 

1. Wash & Cut (if necessary) chicken. 
2. Rinse each piece of dried beef in warm water (about 10 seconds per slice). 
3. Layer the bottom of the casserole dish with the dried beef. 
4. Wrap each piece of chicken with 1 slice of bacon (uncooked) and lay on the dried beef. 
5. Sprinkle chicken with pepper if desired 
6. In a mixing bowl, mix celery soup with water and pour over chicken. 
7. Cook on 300° (Convection Oven 275°) uncovered for 2 hours.
8. Cook 2 cups of Rice & Serve

Womens Slim Credit Card Holder Wallet with RFID Blocking Review

I recently noticed that my mother still carries her purse & a large wallet everywhere she goes.  I do love wallets that allow you to carry photos, a checkbook, cash, id's, credit cards and more.  However, they are not always safe or practical to carry.  I decided I should get my mother a slim wallet like mine. 

When I went to Amazon to make the purchase, I noticed a slim wallet with a zippered pocket.  My slim wallet doesn't have a zippered pocket, but I thought my mother would love that feature, so I bought it instead.

She was very excited to get the slim wallet and I laughed when she just went on and on about the zippered pocket.  I guess I was right about that!

I selected the blue wallet for Mom, but the slim wallet is available in other colors too.

Even if you still carry a purse, the thin wallet will provide RFID blocking and is small enough to slip into many zippered pockets inside a purse or backpack.

 Tipmile Womens Credit Card Holder Wallet, Small Slim RFID Blocking SleeveCheck PriceThe slim wallets are perfect for slipping into your pocket and are barely noticeable.  Since both my mother and I wear our shirts pulled out, our shirttails cover the pockets in our slacks providing additional concealment.

Shifty Sid the Squid Dog Toy Reviewed

A lot of dog toys are made for any size dog, therefore they tend to be small if given to a full grown large breed dog.  The BarkBox Shifty Sid the Squid dog toy is big!  He is the perfect size for a big dog. 

When our son traveled out of town for a concert, he came back bearing souvenir gifts for everyone in the household, including Watson, our year old Labrador Retriever.  He brought Watson a Sid the Squid dog toy that he found in the Cracker Barrel shop on the way home.  Watson loves the big squid!  

Shifty Sid the Squid has legs that crackle which Watson really enjoys.  No matter which leg he grabs, it makes a sound.  Plus, if he bites the squid in the head, it squeaks.  Because of the awesome sound effects, the squid is easily Watson's favorite indoor toy ever.  

The first few nights "Sid" was here, Watson carried him to bed with him.  Watson's bed is at the foot of our bed.  Needless to say, as Watson would wake in the night or roll over, Sid would make a sound and Watson was on immediate alert, then attack.  Both my husband and I woke up laughing at the Watson & Sid battles.  It really was worth the disturbed rest.

The following morning Watson would bring Sid to the kitchen for breakfast.  Sid didn't eat breakfast, but he waited patiently for playtime.

Now, a few weeks later, Sid often remains in "bed" until playtime, but he is still Watson's first choice for play.  

Watson's squid is a different color than the one on Amazon, but they are the same toy otherwise. 

 

 BarkBox Shifty Sid the Squid Dog Toy - for Dogs | Plush Squeaky Toy with Crazy Crinkle & Whip-N-Flip Legs - Interactive Thrash & Play ToyCheck PriceBarkbox Shifty Sid the Squid Dog Toy

The Barkbox squid dog toy is 17" long.  He has a fat mantle (body section above the head & eyes) that makes him easy for our big dog to carry.  He can also be carried by his crinkling legs.  

Sid the Squid is made of a soft, plush material that is gentle on a dogs mouth, as well as a human's body if they get in the way of the thrashing squid. 

His eyes are embroidered instead of crafting or wiggy eyes that could be pulled out and swallowed.  Therefore, Sid is safe for roughhousing with Watson.  If his eyes were detachable, they would have been ripped out in minutes upon his arrival.

Clearly, the BarkBox Shifty Sid the Squid dog toy was/is an excellent choice for an 80+ pound puppy dog that enjoys having a durable interactive toy.  

 

Watson's Squid Friend has Reversed Colors. His Squid is Lime colored with Blue Leg Interior Fabric.
Watson still has his pretty puppy looks, but his body is full grown in the picture above, so you can see how big the squid toy is by comparison
