In my last review, I explained why we run a washing machine cleaning packet
through a new home's washing machine on move-in day. We also run a
dishwasher cleaner through the family members new home's dishwasher.
Like clothes washing machines, the dishwasher has been used by previous tenants or owners. They may not have worried about the cleanliness of the dishwasher's interior or grease build-up on the bottom, sides or door interior. It could also have an unpleasant odor and need cleaning.
In my own home, I keep the dishwasher cleaner tabs on-hand and use then as needed. In the image on the right, you can see the residual grease on the inside of the dishwasher door still there after I washed the dishes. The grease stain wouldn't just easily wipe off, so I ran the empty dishwasher with the Cascade cleaner.
Viola! A clean dishwasher, ready for the next load of dirty dishes.

I thought I was pretty good at keeping up with the changes in Adobe's Photoshop and Lightroom, but it seems like there is always something I missed. At our last photo club meeting the speaker introduced me to some features that have been there for months, and I was unaware of all the advantages they had.
Presets
The subject was on making your own presets in lightroom and while that was a great topic, while I was listening to the speaker, he mentioned a few features that I had overlooked. Lightroom, through the powers of AI, now gives you the ability to edit one section of a photo at a time with a single click. In the masking feature you can select sky, background or subject and then edit just that portion of the photo. In addition to this when you find a look that you like you can turn it into a preset and use the same editing for future photos.
One of the things that I had overlooked was the Lightroom in their latest update had added three groups of presets for you to use. They are for portraits, sky, and subject. This is a real time saver when one of the presets works for the photo you are editing.
Adaptive Presets-Sky
Here are the presets that are available for your use in Lightroom.
Blue Drama
Dark Drama
Neon Tropics
Storm Clouds
Sunrise
Sunset
The photo at the beginning of the review is one that I took while on a visit to Forest Park in St. Louis. It is of a historic bandstand, that has been a favorite of people visiting the park since the 1920's. In this photo I used the 'Blue Drama' preset to add a bit of drama to a rather dreary sky.
Another tip I learned from the speaker at photo club, is that there is a slider above all the presets and when you use this slider you can alter the amount of the preset that can be used on the photo, anywhere from 0 percent to 200 percent. Here are two examples using the same photo and using the 'Neon Tropics' preset. This first example uses the preset at 200 %.
This version is interesting, but I think it is a bit too dramatic, so here it is using only 50% 'Neon Tropics' preset.
I do think I like the 50% use a bit better.
Adaptive Presets-Subject
For subjects Lightroom has six different presets added in and in addition you can always make and safe your own presets.
Pop
Warm Pop
Soft
Cool Soft
Vibrant
Glow
To demonstrate the subject presets built into Lightroom I will give you a few examples below. You will first need to select your subject in the photo using the masking feature and then select your preset and add the percentage of preset that work for your photo. In my examples I will again use the Forest Park Bandstand photo.
The first one is using the Glow setting. It is very subtle, but I like the look it portrays.
The preset used int the photo below is the Pop setting at 200%
Like I learned at my last photo club session, there is always something new to be learned in Lightroom, even for those of us who are seasoned users. Here is a book that is sure to teach you a few tricks. Lightroom for Beginners and Seniors It can be purchased on Amazon.

Kaizen Low Carb Pasta made with lupin flour is a health-conscious alternative to traditional pasta
made with wheat flour and semolina. It is the best pasta I have found for
those of us who follow a low-carb diet, such as keto enthusiasts, diabetics,
or anyone looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake. It is also a great
option for people who follow a gluten-free diet.
This product review will cover Kaizen pasta’s taste, texture,
nutritional value, preparation, and overall value. As a bonus, I will also share a simple
recipe I developed that uses Kaizen fusilli.
Taste and Texture
One of the most critical aspects of any pasta product is its taste and
texture. Kaizen low carb pasta aims to mimic the familiar experience of
traditional pasta, and it does a commendable job.
Taste
The pasta has a mild, slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with a variety of
sauces. It reminds me of chickpea pasta.
While it doesn't have the same taste as pasta made from wheat flour and semolina, it is quite enjoyable when combined with robust sauces like
marinara or Alfredo.
Texture
The texture is pleasantly firm, though slightly different from traditional
pasta. It is a bit chewier, which can take some getting used to, but
it holds up well in both hot and cold dishes.
Nutritional Value
Kaizen low carb pasta shines in its nutritional profile, making it an
attractive option for health-conscious consumers.
Low in Carbohydrates
This pasta is significantly lower in carbs compared to regular
pasta, making it suitable for low-carb and keto diets. Each serving contains
only 6 grams of net carbs, depending on the specific variety.
The company has also come out with an even lower-carb pasta line, which I have ordered and will review after I have tried it.
High in Protein
With 20 grams of protein per serving, this pasta helps in meeting daily
protein requirements, which is beneficial for muscle maintenance and overall
health.
High in Fiber
The pasta has 15 grams of dietary fiber per serving, contributing to better digestive
health and helping to keep you full for longer.
Gluten-Free
Kaizen pasta has been reformulated with a gluten-free recipe, so more people can enjoy it.
No Artificial Ingredients
Kaizen prides itself on using natural ingredients, which is a big plus for
those avoiding artificial additives and preservatives.
Preparation
Preparing Kaizen Low Carb Pasta is straightforward and similar to traditional
pasta. Just bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, cook the pasta for about 5–6 minutes (to the desired texture), drain, and use as desired, with a sauce or in recipes.
Although the texture is different than traditional pasta made from wheat and semolina flours and cannot be cooked al dente, it's crucial to monitor the pasta closely to avoid overcooking so it does not become mushy.
Versatility
Kaizen Low Carb Pasta is versatile and, at the time of this post's publication, is available in four shapes: Fusilli, ziti, radiatore, and cavatappi. This makes it suitable for a variety of
dishes.
It works well in classic hot pasta dishes like spaghetti Bolognese, carbonara,
lasagna, and baked casseroles.
I used it to make a low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber version of a traditional Jewish sweet noodle kugel (a sweet egg, cottage cheese, and noodle casserole) and it was absolutely delicious!
It also holds up well in cold pasta salads, providing a hearty base for a variety
of fresh ingredients.
Overall Value
Considering its health benefits, Kaizen low carb pasta offers good value for
money. Although it is more expensive than conventional pasta made with wheat
flour and semolina, the added nutritional benefits will justify the higher
price point for many consumers.
It's particularly valuable for those who need to manage their carbohydrate
intake, follow a gluten-free diet, or want a higher protein
alternative to standard pasta.
Kaizen low carb pasta is an excellent product for anyone seeking a healthier
alternative to traditional pasta without compromising on taste and texture.
Its high protein and fiber content, combined with its low carbohydrate
profile, make it a standout option for low-carb dieters and health-conscious
individuals. While it may require a slight adjustment in cooking and texture
expectations, its versatility and nutritional benefits make it a worthwhile
addition to your pantry.
I whip up this delicious, low carb pasta dish often because it's quick and
easy to make and my husband and I both enjoy it.
I usually serve it with a side salad and, sometimes, with garlic bread made
with Hero bread (expensive but 0 net carbs and exceptional taste and texture for a
keto-friendly bread).
I hope you and your family enjoy it.
Buon appetito!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
Boiling water
Salt
1 pound ground pork
8 oz. portabello mushrooms
1/4 cup wine (red is traditional but white is good, too)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil while you make the pork and mushroom ragu (meat sauce).
In a large nonstick skillet, crumble and lightly brown the ground pork over medium-high heat.
Slice the mushrooms and add them to the browned pork. Stir occasionally until the mushrooms are soft.
Stir in the wine and the optional seasonings and cook until the wine is reduced by about half.
Stir in the marinara sauce and turn the heat to a low simmer.
Stir the fusilli into the boiling salted water (some foaming is normal) and boil for 5 minutes.
Drain and stir the cooked pasta into the pork and mushroom ragu. Turn the heat down to low and let the pasta "marry" with the sauce for 3 to 5 minutes.
Divide into four portions and grate some Parmigiano-Romano cheese over the top just before serving.

In this age of digital streaming, there is something undeniably charming
about spinning vinyl records on a classic turntable. Our daughter bought
Fran a classic turntable for her birthday this year. Since we didn't have a
place for it we had to find a record player stand.
Fran began a search for what she wanted to buy for our new turntable. Yes,
now we have another piece of furniture in the house. She found this Amil
Series stand from Mazefur with more of a contemporary style. It's perfect for
the new turntable and fits nicely in our living room.
The stand was very easy to assemble with excellent easy-to-follow
instructions. The top surface offers a stable platform for our turntable,
with enough space to accommodate even a larger model.
The stand has a sleek
pull-out drawer at the top, a shelf right below the drawer, and plenty of
storage space for our extensive collection of vinyl records to be stored
safely.
Many turntables on the market today have built-in CD players, ours does
not. The shelf below the drawer will be perfect for a CD player, as we also
have an extensive collection of CDs. The shelf has wire management access on
the back panel for easy installation of the wires.
There are many styles of record player stands to choose from. We like the
style of the one we purchased, but you can find many stands that offer a
retro look to bring you back in time.

Alicia Berenson, artist, lives in a gorgeous home in a desirable part of London with her husband who is a well-known fashion photographer. She has an upcoming art show, she is clearly very in love with her husband, and she appears to have everything. So why does she kill her husband? The Silent Patient is full of twists and turns. I suspected first one person then the next.
The Silent Patient is a psychological murder mystery that jumps from one point of view to another and includes Alicia's diary. The story isn't told in a linear timeline. The prologue is an excerpt from Alicia's Diary on July 14th soon before the murder in August. Chapter One begins with recap as though written by a report with the murder having happened six years prior. We learn about their careers, their art, their ages, and the last day of Gabriel's life. We learn the gory details of the murder scene, Alicia's attempt to take her own life and how she fought those trying to save her. We find that Alicia turned mute and remained silent.
Alicia was discharged from the hospital and was initially under house arrest while waiting for the trial. She painted a self-portrait that she named Alcestis.
Huge Cast of Characters:
Alcestis. A heroine of Greek mythology. Also, Alicia's self-portrait just after allegedly murdering her husband.
Alicia. A complicated, artistic woman, whose husband worried about her mood and well-being. He convinced her to start a diary. After all, maybe writing would help.
Jean-Felix Martin. The manager of a small SoHo Gallery who exhibited her art; including the Alcestis. Long lines formed outside of this small gallery to see what the murderer had painted.
Lazarus Diomedes. The clinical director of the Grove, the secure forensic psychiatric unit in North London. Alicia was placed here due to clearly suffering from profound psychological distress as determined by the murder and the continuing refusal or inability to speak. Diomedes oversaw her treatment at the Grove. Including the high level of sedating medications that both kept her safe for others and barely able to function.
Yuri. Head psychiatric nurse. Appears to do very well with managing the patients.
Christian. The head of Alicia's care team and the current prescriber of her medications. He clearly dislikes Theo from the moment we meet him.
Theo Faber. Psychotherapist. Theo followed the trial closely and chose to interview at the Grove as a way to get close to Alicia. His goal is to treat her and to get her to talk. But Christian is the head of her care team.
The list of characters goes on and on. Max Berenson. Gabriel's brother and Alicia's attorney. What might he and other members of the Berenson family know? The patients in the unit, what might they know? Who has something to gain from her lengthy stay at the Grove and her silence? Why is the victim's brother also the attorney for the murderer? How do the gallery still show her art? There are so very many questions.
Alicia has been violent on the unit. Which is why her medications are so high and sedating. It's not a far leap to assume that she committed the murder. But still... there are so many things that aren't right.
My Thoughts
During each twist and turn, I kept thinking "that's not right". Both in the unit where Alicia is house and out of the unit. With every twist and turn I began to think someone else did it. I never did guess correctly. Did I miss the clues?
Or... is it a matter of me missing the clues in this mystery? Or, to quote Annie Wilkes in Misery, "He never got out of the cockadoodie car" and the plot doesn't fully line up? It reminds me a bit of how I felt when I watched The Sixth Sense many, many years ago. Malcolm Crowe is a child psychologist and the child he's working with says, "I see dead people." I was stunned and thought, Whoa! How'd we get here?!!!! I feel the same about The Silent Patient.
I can tell you that I've already started reading this a 2nd time to try to find what I missed and why I blamed the wrong people. How I missed seeing how we got to where we ended up. Or... was it a matter of plot problems. I don't know, but I'm reading it again.
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides can be found here on Amazon.
Currently, over 300,000 readers have reviewed this book on Amazon with a 4.4. out of 5 star rating. The negative reviews discuss the mental health issues, plot, and timeline issues. The vast majority of reviewers enjoyed this book. I found that the portrayal of the flawed mental health system and what can happen in those settings to be accurate. And the flawed mental health workers... same. I'm still not completely sure what I think of the plot/timeline. I can say that it was intriguing enough that I'm re-reading it already.

In the ever-expanding universe of streaming content, Amazon Prime's "Outer Range" series stands out as a unique blend of Western drama and supernatural mystery.
Season 2 was recently released, and as one of my favorite series, I have already binge-watched it!
Created by Brian Watkins, this series dives into the heart of Wyoming's rugged landscapes, presenting viewers with a narrative as intriguing as it is enigmatic. Here's an in-depth look at the storyline, plot, and main characters of "Outer Range."
Introduction to "Outer Range"
"Outer Range" is a genre-bending series that combines the grit of a classic Western with elements of the supernatural and psychological thriller. Premiering on Amazon Prime in 2022, it quickly garnered attention for its unique premise and compelling performances. The series explores family, faith, and time travel themes, making it a must-watch for fans of complex, character-driven stories.
The Storyline: A Western with a Supernatural Twist
Set against the backdrop of Wyoming's vast and unforgiving landscape, "Outer Range" follows the life of Royal Abbott, a rancher fighting to keep his family together while dealing with the mysterious appearance of a black void on his land. This void, which defies the laws of nature, becomes the focal point of a series of strange and unsettling events that challenge the characters' understanding of reality and time.
The Mysterious Void
The discovery of the void sets off a chain reaction of events that intertwine the lives of the Abbott family with other town residents. The void's presence brings long-buried secrets and unresolved conflicts to the surface, making it both a literal and metaphorical abyss that the characters must navigate. As they delve deeper into its mysteries, they are forced to confront their beliefs and fears, leading to profound personal transformations.
"Outer Range" features a rich ensemble of characters, each bringing their own complexities to the narrative.
Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin)
Royal Abbott is the patriarch of the Abbott family and the central figure in "Outer Range." Played by Josh Brolin, Royal is a stoic and resilient rancher whose life is turned upside down by discovering the void. His struggle to protect his family and land from external threats and supernatural phenomena forms the core of the series. Royal's journey is one of survival and introspection as he grapples with the unknown and his own past.
Cecilia Abbott (Lili Taylor)
Lili Taylor portrays Cecilia Abbott, Royal's devoted wife. She is the emotional anchor of the family, providing support and stability amidst the chaos. Cecilia's character is marked by her unwavering faith and strength, qualities that are tested as the mysteries of the void unfold. Her relationship with Royal and her efforts to maintain the family's unity are central to the narrative.
Perry Abbott (Tom Pelphrey)
Perry Abbott, the eldest son of Royal and Cecilia, is played by Tom Pelphrey. He is a man burdened by personal tragedy and unresolved grief. Perry's quest for answers and redemption drives much of the series' emotional tension. His character's arc is deeply intertwined with the mysteries of the void, leading to revelations that impact the entire Abbott family.
Autumn (Imogen Poots)
Autumn, portrayed by Imogen Poots, is a mysterious traveler who arrives at the Abbott ranch with a keen interest in the void. Her enigmatic presence and cryptic motives add layers of intrigue to the story. As she becomes more involved with the Abbotts, her true intentions and connection to the void are gradually revealed, making her a pivotal figure in the unfolding drama.
Plot: Unraveling the Mystery
The plot of "Outer Range" is a carefully woven tapestry of suspense, drama, and supernatural elements. It begins with the Abbott family's discovery of the void, which sets off a series of strange occurrences that defy explanation. As Royal and his family try to understand the nature of the void, they encounter various obstacles and adversaries, including rival ranchers and enigmatic figures like Autumn.
Conflict and Resolution
The series balances its supernatural elements with grounded, human conflicts. The Abbott family faces external threats from those who seek to exploit the void for their own gain, as well as internal struggles as they deal with personal loss and trauma. Each episode peels back layers of the mystery, offering new clues and raising more questions, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
Themes of Faith and Fate
At its core, "Outer Range" explores themes of faith, fate, and the unknown - with that unknown being time and space. The inexplicable phenomena surrounding the void constantly challenge the characters' beliefs. The series delves into existential questions about the nature of reality and human existence, making it a thought-provoking watch.
Conclusion
"Outer Range" is a compelling series that pushes the boundaries of traditional genre storytelling.
Its unique blend of Western elements and supernatural intrigue offers a fresh and engaging narrative that keeps viewers hooked from start to finish. The strong performances by the cast, particularly Josh Brolin and Lili Taylor, add depth to the characters and elevate the storytelling.
Whether you're a fan of mystery, drama, or the supernatural (time travel), "Outer Range" is a series that promises to captivate and leave you pondering long after the credits roll.
As the mysteries of the void continue to unravel, one thing is sure: "Outer Range" is a journey worth taking.
After completing Season 2 (released this year, 2024), I eagerly await and hope for a Season 3!

Many book reviews have been written on the ReviewThisReviews! Site by its many contributors. Us contributors read these book reviews right along with our readers, which quickly lets us know a good book to put on our To-Read List.
Having recently read the review of Book One in the South Carolina Sunsets series (The Beach House by Rachel Hanna ~ reviewed by contributor Mbg Photo [Mary Beth Granger] ), I became interested in reading the series myself. While looking for this book, I came across Book One in Rachel Hanna’s January Cove series (The One For Me) and now am ‘hooked’ on not only the author, but this series. It is perfect for fans of women’s fiction about clean contemporary small town romance and stories about Southerners. While Hanna’s Sunset Series takes place in South Carolina, this January Cove series takes place in Georgia. Having lived in Georgia for close to 20 years, this setting particularly appeals to me.
Twenty years ago, when Jenna Davis was in high school, she met and fell in love with Kyle Parker, popular jock & class clown, and just knew that he would be in her heart forever. Kyle felt the same way. They were together throughout high school and into their college years. The problem was that Jenna’s mother, a very forcefully opinionated woman, insisted that her daughter be the best and have the best; meaning top grades in school, a proper profession, and a perfect marriage to someone who was ‘going places’ and would take excellent care of her daughter. Jenna’s mother disapproved of Kyle, who was being raised by a single mother with five children and was struggling to make ends meet. It didn’t matter that Kyle was a good person; Jenna’s mother only saw him as someone not a ‘proper’ fit for her daughter.
Jenna was dominated by her mother and her father sided with his wife. Thus, she ended up studying a business course in college her mother insisted on, instead of the art courses she wanted (and had talent for), and ended up marrying a young man who was in medical school - highly approved by Jenna’s mother. When she broke up with Kyle, he was devastated, as Jenna was his ‘soul mate’ and he loved her dearly.
Twenty years later, Jenna has returned to a town near January Cove where she grew up. Newly divorced, with a 5-year-old daughter and an ex-husband who has refused to give her alimony or child support, despite the fact that he is now a doctor and can well afford it, Jenna is struggling to keep the house she can no longer afford. When the house goes into foreclosure, a local real estate investor bids on and buys the property. As you might have guessed, that investor turns out to be Kyle.
Kyle cannot believe his eyes when he discovers the house he has just purchased in foreclosure is owned by Jenna. The romance that was there when they were in their teens has not diminished, but can Kyle forgive her for leaving him or will he fall for her all over again.
Jenna knows she made a terrible mistake all those years ago. Will hearts break or mend in this sweet beach romance?
Summary
As much as I wanted to read Rachel Hanna’s South Carolina Sunsets Series because Mary Beth’s review spiked my interest, and because I know South Carolina well, now that I have begun this delightful January Cove series, I need to read each of the ten books in this series first. Never fear; the Sunset Series is on my list for the next round of reading!

Throughout our children's college and establishing careers years, there
were many moves. For 10+ years we were annually moving our children in
and out of dorms, apartments or rented houses with used appliance. Even now, as they buy homes, they still
have used appliances. Only once, in all of those moves, have either of
them purchased a new washing machine. Therefore, one of the first
things we have done on moving day, was to start the empty washing machine
with a Tide washing machine cleaner packet.
Often, the washing machines have set dormant for a week or longer.
Plus, we have no way of knowing what might have been washed in them
previously. Prior tenants clothes could have been muddy or heavily
soiled. Some of the washing machines even had a damp, nasty smell
inside. I've always felt like the washing machine tub needed to be
cleaned. We frequently opted to run them twice with the cleaning
packets before regular use.
I associate the washing machine cleaning packets with moving.
However, I have recently started using them in my own washing machine.
Merlin, our Labrador Retriever, will be 16 years old this month. He
sleeps in his doggy bed at the foot of our bed. As the years have
crept up on him, he doesn't move as fast and his bed occasionally gets
soiled and must be washed. After I wash his bed cover and pillow, I
use the Tide cleaning packet in our washing machine. It might not be
necessary since I set the machine for 2 rinse cycles, but I feel better
knowing the machine has been washed and cleaned before I put our clothes in
it.
Tide Washing Machine Packets
Washing Machine Cleaner by TideCheck PriceBecause of the scented smell, I don't use Tide detergent on our clothes or
towels, but I do love the Tide packets for cleaning the empty washing machine.
As you can see in the photo above, I have a top loading machine but the packets are safe to use in the front loading machines too.
I can tell you from experience that the Tide packets do leave the washing machine smelling good and clean.
According to Tide, the cleaning packets activate faster than the regular washing tabs. Plus, they have added Oxi to the washing machine cleaner to "boost the cleaning action".
To use: Simply add one packet into the empty washing machine tub and run a normal wash cycle using hot water.

This is one of my absolute favorite pasta dishes. Garlic butter noodles
with mushrooms are so easy to make and you can have them on the table in 30
minutes or less.
When looking for something quick, tasty, and easy to make this is one of our
go-to meals. The butter garlic flavor really stands out. If you like mushrooms
as I do, and pasta this is a perfect combination. The recipe below is enough
for two people. If you're serving a crowd just add to it accordingly.
Ingredients:
12 oz. sliced mushrooms (washed and pat dry)
4 tablespoons butter (2 for the mushrooms and 2 for the noodles)
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1/2 bag of noodles (or your favorite pasts)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Begin cooking the mushrooms in a skillet over medium to high heat.
Stir and turn the mushrooms until you see moisture in the pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped garlic and continue to stir and
turn until the mushrooms are golden brown.
Lower the heat to simmer and cook your noodles.
Drain the cooked noodles and return them to the pot or a bowl, add the
other 2 tablespoons of butter and stir.
Pour the cooked mushrooms over the noodles and stir. Add the garnish and
serve.
I always begin cooking my mushrooms in a dry pan first over medium to high
heat. Mushrooms contain a lot of water, and this method allows the liquids
to slowly evaporate and the mushrooms to caramelize.
You will also want a skillet large enough so the mushrooms are not piled
high on top of each other. After they burn off some of their liquids and
turn golden brown it is time to add the butter and any seasoning you're
using.
This is such a versatile meal, you can use whatever pasta you like instead
of noodles. You can also season the mushrooms with your favorite seasonings or add a little
lemon juice to the mushrooms as they are cooking.
