how to 'doctor' up canned baked beans ...?
I would like to add something to a BIG (117 oz.) can of Bush's Baked Beans to make it taste a bit 'special' for a BBQ coming up as I don't have the time (or talent!) to cook/flavor beans from scratch!
Any Ideas? Maybe liquid smoke (bottle), McCormick Smoked salt, Claude'a BBQ sauce, etc.?
Thanks for any suggestions!
I would add cumin, minced onion, oregano (fresh or dried), and either minced sauteed chilies or some chili sauce (the kind without tomatoes, since baked beans already have tomato). I would NOT add anything smoked, except for chilies, and I would not add additional tomato to it. I have on occasion bought canned beans but never baked beans, as they are too sweet for me. Adding BBQ sauce to them will make them even sweeter, and so I would also avoid that, but then that is my personal taste.
I always use just pork and beans and this is what I add to them: (This is for one of the big cans, drained)
4 slices bacon
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 cup barbecue sauce (I use KC Masterpiece)
1/4 cup sorghum or molasses (but sorghum is sweeter)
Cook bacon just to remove grease Combine rest of ingredients Add the bacon and put in large baking dish Bake uncovered in 325 degree oven 60-75min.
You may also fix this in crockpot on low 6-8hours.
These are really good! I never go home with leftovers! it is my friend Julie's recipe that I have been making since the 70's.
JulieâÂÂs Baked Beans
1lb ground beef, browned and drained
1/2lb bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled
1T Worcestershire sauce
1/2c catsup
1/2c light molasses
1/2c brown sugar
2 medium onions, chopped
1 3lb7oz can B&M or BushâÂÂs beans
Place all ingredients in casserole and bake one hour at 325F
Place all ingredients in crockpot and cook 5-6 hours on low.
I tried lots of different combinations of seasonings for baked beans for years & years. Ended up taking a simple approach & am happy with the results.
I use a combination of canned baked beans & pork n' beans. A tall can of baked beans & a short can of pork n' beans. Saute some onion & bacon in the microwave & drain excess grease. Stir in the beans along with some of your favorite bbq sauce (I like Famous Dave's) along with some chopped jalapenos, if you like. (Be careful with the bbq sauce because it's easy to use too much & end up with too sweet beans. So start of with a modest amount and taste as you go.) Pop back into the microwave to 'bake'. I like my beans to be room temperature or cold out of the refrigerator so try to make them ahead of time.
I know that a lot of cooks add ground beef to baked beans (in my area, anyway) but I never do. Beans are a great source of protein on their own. I prefer bacon for the flavor and I really dislike the texture of the beef in the baked beans so refuse to eat them when I encounter them at potlucks, etc. At home, I use baked beans as a side and save the ground beef for the hamburgers.
I've been a total failure at making baked beans from scratch; despite many attempts, I could never get mine to taste like Mom's so I finally accepted defeat and take the shortcut method.
I like them better made from leftover beans, I have a pot of beans (Mayacoba is my current favorite), then I have baked beans.
I've been known to use Chase's "cheater" baked beans with great success if I don't make them from "scratch". A can of beans, I pour in some catsup, some mustard, some brown sugar. Molasses or maple syrup, whatever suits me. Strips of bacon laid over the top. Bake until they are thick and sticky.
I don't have any measurements, maybe 1/2 cup of catsup, a tablespoon of mustard, 1/4 cup of molasses/maple syrup, brown sugar to taste.
I love baked beans nearly any way but like them best thick, sticky and slightly sweet, and always with molasses.
Most popular around here would be Bush's adding bacon, onion, just a touch of BBQ sauce, but not much. If you're going to add meats (not including bacon, which IMO is a spice here) add a spicy sausage. I might try adding some of Trader Joe's South African Smoked Seasoning next time.
I don't like traditional baked beans. I do like kidney beans so I make a baked bean dish using kidney beans. I cheat and use the canned kidney beans, add bacon, onion, BBQ sauce, a little molasses, lemon pepper, a splash of vinegar and some dry mustard. If I have some real maple syrup I might put a glug in there. If I'm not in too big a hurry I make it with basically a BBQ sauce (ketchup, molasses, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, etc).
Vieja, where do you find McCormack's Smoked Salt? I can't find it anymore. I used to really enjoy that for certain things but no stores have it and I couldn't find it on their website last time I looked.
Learned "doctoring" from my grandmother. She'd add some finely chopped onion, generous squirt of ketchup, mustard (not as much as ketchup) and a few TBSPs of brown sugar.
I like to start with bacon... either a few strips cooked to very crispy and crumbled, or a few strips diced up and rendered. I LEAVE the bacon grease in and saute onions a bit before dumping everything else in. Also like a generous glug of worcestershire sauce.
I use pork and beans. Below is the recipe I have used for years and years. People at potlucks always ask for the recipe.
Boston Baked Beans
I have used this recipe since the very early 1960s and have no recollection of where I got it, although it may have been from a magazine that Ford used to publish. Everyone loves them, because they are delicious.
2 No. 2 cans pork and beans (each can 16 oz)
4 T brown sugar (1/4 cup)
1/2 cup catsup
2 T mustard
1 medium onion, minced
1 T honey
Mix all of the above together and place in a baking dish. Cover with two of three strips of bacon. Bake at 250 for about 2 hours. Serves 8
For 'doctored' baked beans I use this recipe from an old red-checked BHG cookbook:
Easy Baked Beans
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 - 1 pound cans (4 cups) pork and beans with tomato sauce
2 Tbls. brown sugar
1 Tbls. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. prepared mustard
Cook bacon till crisp; drain, reserving 2 Tbls. drippings. Crumble bacon. Cook onion in reserved drippings till tender but not brown; add with crumbled bacon to remaining ingredients, mixing well. Turn into 1 1/2 qt. bean pot or casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees about 2 hours. Serves 6.
We sauté onion and green pepper in the bacon grease and add those, with the crunchy bacon. to the beans with brown sugar and dry mustard. Pour into an authentic boston bean pot and bake slowly. Definitely B&M beans are the best but here in Atlanta they are not always easy to buy, particularly in large sizes cans. They are a certain sign of Summer.
Bush's baked beans are my standard potluck dish for work.
I add browned crumbled hamburger, well done thick bacon, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Molasses sometimes but you have to be careful... just a very little. Using dark brown sugar is an easy way to get molasses in them.
The bacon I fry and then touch up in a microwave to get it all crispy. I hate soggy bacon in my beans. Chop it into small chunks before frying helps to get all the fat crispy.
When adding sugar I add to my taste and then double that amount for the potluck. Most people seem to like them way sweet. I go easy on the maple syrup... don't want maple beans just a background flavor note.
Local grocer has the large institutional sized cans... way cheaper then buying several small cans. About $6-7 for a 6.6lb can which fills my large crockpot. They were so much cheaper just a couple years ago.
People really like having the meat in there. If I'm short of time or lazy I skip the bacon. Leftovers are great with a slice of buttered bread and glass of milk. Brought fresh milk back into my fridge after a 10 year absence. I like to season my portion with lots of black pepper and salt. I have added black pepper to the potluck beans but people commented they could taste the course pepper as a hot flavor so I skip that now.
: )
Yes the long absent one... my third weekend in a row off from work!
Oh, my goodness ... with so many good ideas now how am I to choose?!! ha
I am going to go through all your great recipes you all have been so kind to send & will take out the things most mentioned by nearly everyone. I will try: some brown sugar, mustard & some of the hickory smoke salt, I would like to add more onion but aso many of my family don't like onions.
Was surprised to find the big cans of the Bush's baked beans at our locally owned grocery.
BTW: I (finally!) found the bottles of smoked salt at a local Alberstons grocery after a futile search everywhere else after I had run out of the one old bottle I had. I bought up all the bottles at Albertsons that I found ... it has been too difficult to find any more!
Thank you all so much for your help!!
'Spice Island Smoked Hickory salt'... found some last year at Albertson's on the spice shelves!! I love those different smoked salts but for the past few years have had no luck finding them anywhere... even though the Spice Island company said it was available in stores! I bought the few (4.8 oz.) bottles I found & treasure them! I do buy & use the small bottles of Wright's Liquid Smoke which seems to be srtill available locally yet.
Atlantic Spice has a Smoked Sea Salt (coarse) but I've not tried it. One pound for less than six dollars.
I've ordered from them a couple of times & have been well pleased with the quality and the price of their offerings. They have a 'Saigon' cinnamon that's every bit as good as Penzeys and is less than six dollars for a pound.
And, Amazon has a wide variety of smoked salts...applewood, alder, etc.
Or, you could make your own smoked salt for pennies. Instructions at link using a stove top smoker (Cameron's is one brand but you could improvise on easily enough).
Here is a link that might be useful: Atlantic Spice
I think 'cynic' & I were referring to the salt shaker-like small bottles of the Mc Cormick smoked salt....
this is more like a salty smoke ingredient: not so much salty but 'smokey'? Very fine ...almost like a powder. Correct me if I am wrong 'cynic'?!
Think it also came in different smoke flavors & was so easy to use.
I have used some of the smoked salts but find the Mc Cormick's is easier to use as a flavoring in many dishes.
Vieja, when my children were little, they did not like chopped onion in any dish. Therefore, I started putting the onion in the blender and smashed it all to such small pieces, they never knew the onion was in the dish. There are some dishes I make that I still like to "smash" the onion just because the flavor seems to permeate the dish better. You can also use the small electric choppers to do the same thing.
Here's a source for just powdered hickory smoke flavoring--no salt.
Here is a link that might be useful: Powdered Hickory Smoke flavor
My "doctored up" canned baked beans include bacon, chopped onion sauteed in the bacon fat, ketchup, molasses, a dash of maple syrup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. No smoked flavoring or meat other than bacon.
A few years ago, I acquired a vintage bean pot and it has taken me to the far reaches of baked beandom. Black beans with peppers, onions and chorizo, Norweigan baked beans with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and celery leaves, and many other varieties with fun and interesting combinations of ingredients.
Right now, I have the large Lima beans baking in a 275 oven with a sauce of bacon, leeks, Sailor Jerry spiced rum, molasses, and a few cloves.
For a picnic, I'd still do the doctored up canned beans because that's what the audience would be expecting but I'll keep enjoying my baked bean flights of fancy at home.
'walnut creek': I don't know what I would do if I didn't have onions to use in so many different ways! We just tried some of the Vidalia onions everyone raves about... and we agree: they are so great: good onion flavor without the strong 'bite' so many of the other onions have! I do with hold onions though if several guests do not like them.. or sometimes I will make a dish with & another without them.
Our family likes (canned) cut green beans cooked with canned Spam chopped up fine, chopped onions & all fried in a big frying pan. Strange... but it is good!
Bourbon and balsamic are my secret ingredients. Of late I am not finding canned B&M on the shelves, don't know what's going on.
CathyâÂÂs Baked Beans
1/2 lb bacon, cooked until crisp
2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar or Balsamic Glaze
ý cup Heinz chili sauce or ketchup
1 cup bourbon
ý cup molasses
ý large sweet onion, diced and sautéed in bacon grease
1 - 3lb 7oz can B&M beans
1. Preheat oven to 375ð
2. Pour off some of the liquid from the beans; put beans in casserole dish (3 â deep dish)
4. Remove bacon and sauté onion in drippings until tender
5. Add crumbled bacon, onions, and some bacon drippings to beans
6. Mix chili sauce, molasses, balsamic, and bourbon; add to beans and stir well
7. Taste to see if itâÂÂs to your liking
8. Bake in preheated oven at 375ð for 1 hour
9. Check occasionally to see if the beans are getting thick.
Yes Vieja, that was what I was using. What I used to get was their "Gourmet" seasoning. Heavy glass jar with the sort of odd green colored cap on it. Sam's club carries Spice Island version in a grinder but they don't have it at the local ones. I've seen various things online but shipping is usually prohibitive to me. It's not worth that much to me! I would prefer just the smoked seasoning since I'm trying to cut the salt more now. I did pick up some of the Trader Joe's Smoked Seasoning. Haven't really had a chance to try it out yet but for a couple dollars for the big container with the grinder compared to the cost of shipping through the internet, it's worth a try. But the old McCormicks, come to think of it it may have even been called Shilling's back then, I don't recall for sure. And yes, I know they're the same company ("Shilling in the east, McCormick in the west"). It was a great seasoning for burgers and most any meat. FTHOI I sent them an inquiry to see if it's made, or to more likely, confirm it's long since discontinued.
Oh and thanks for the email. I couldn't reply since your mail wouldn't allow it. Nice to hear from you. We don't have Albertson's around here. They were going to buy a local chain called Rainbow Foods but that deal fell through and Roundy's bought them out.
Now making your own smoked salt is interesting. But I don't have a smoker so back to a cost issue.
Sorry to steer it off topic! But back to it, it'd probably be a good spice for doctoring beans! Oh, another seasoning I've come to enjoy is smoked paprika. You can probably tell I like smoky things... :)
Lately I've been making Paula Deen's baked beans with apple and bacon. Yum.
Here is a link that might be useful: apple baked bean casserole
This recipe has been in my husbands family for a long time. It has been at every barbeque since I joined the family 45 years ago and it is still my go-to recipe. You can adjust the sweetness as you choose.
Baked Beans
3 ~ 18 oz. jars of baked beans (or equivalent)
1 pound pork steak
1 medium onion
1 cup ketchup
2 T brown sugar
Brown steak in fry pan, Add onions and stew until meat is tender. Add beans, ketchup and brown sugar. Pour into casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Just throw the beans in a crock pot and add what you like - ketchup, Worcestershire, bit of mustard, ground pepper, maple syrup -- or brown sugar, or molasses (same thing), onions and for sure, bacon or even leftover pork chops pieces. Not sure that liquid smoke does anything for it - but add if you like. I always put shredded cheese on top - you know we Americans love cheese on everything. Cook for 6 - 8 hours or bake in the oven for 3. It will all be good. IMO hamburger deserves another venue than baked beans - detraction to the max, as does bourbon - it's for with not in, IMO.

Adenium obesum - Desert Rose
Now that I know you are all so wonderfully friendly...I think this is the right place to ask questions about Desert Rose?
I was given a desert rose as a gift last fall. It lived inside, in the sun, and broke my heart when it lost all it's leaves. Of course it bounced back beautifully in the spring and has produced the most glorious blooms.
But I am so confused...
As with any new plant, I read as much as I can find, so that I know how to treat it. But with desert rose, the information is profoundly conflicting.
Some say to treat it as a succulent...little water and little fertilizer. Others say to treat it like a tropical...heavy on the water and fertilizer. Which is right?
I have tried both, and the plant just seems to keep on keeping on, without much reaction to a change in care?
I really would like it to grow old with me, so I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom.
I'm not the expert on Desert Rose, although I have about 10 plants, and have grown some from seed. My advice would be to treat them just like their cousins, plumeria. Let them dry out! After all, they are native to the deserts and dry savannas of Africa, and store moisture in their swollen trunks. I overwatered my first one, and almost killed it. I am faithful to use a moisture meter for soils, and wait until the soil is almost dry before attempting to water them. Mine are doing great with this method of watering, and they all do a nice job of blooming.
My desert rose usually dries out a little before watering, but there are times where I just soak it every day and dont let it dry out (I do that especially when its really hot out). Im not sure if they prefer to stay dry or moist, but they dont seem to mind either one! But a little extra water on really hot days would probably make them happier than staying dry.
Good luck!
I have a couple dozen DR's, some from seed, others grafted and some purchased as mature plants. When the seedlings are very small I treat them more as tropicals and keep them well watered. After a couple months I allow the soil to dry between waterings. I keep them quite root bound and when I do transplant I raise them up about an inch to expose more of the enlarging caudex. Most of mine go dormant over the winter. I cut way back on watering, just enough to keep the roots from drying out, maybe once every 6-8 weeks but I keep them warmer then my dormant plumerias.
I am no expert by any means, but I do have about 20 pots of DR and many babies ones for my experiment.
During summer I water them often, sometime everyday, sometime every other days. I agree with Karynl, only worry during winter and water between 6-8 weeks just enough for the roots not to dry out.
search under (desert rose year after year) you will see one of my plant from 2004-2010

Power Outage Strikes Upper Valley
(REXBURG) – Nearly 30,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers in the upper valley lost power for a few hours Sunday morning.
Officials say the outage was caused by a faulty insulator on a line near Rigby. The blackout hit most areas just after 9:30 a.m. Restoration efforts occurred in steps with all locations powered up again by noon.
A second outage hit the Menan area at around 4 p.m.
Authorities have not said whether those blackouts were related.

floor dry for gritty mix?
I just spoke with napa and they have their own floor dry product. I was wondering if it is safe to use in pots. It contains
Diamethus earth, Chrysolite stone & Quartz. Now I figure these are all safe but how do I know that there isnt some other chemical added. It doesnt say on the bag.
6.29 for a 25 lb bag sounds pretty good to me if its ok to use. Has anyone used this product?
Diatomous earth is certainly safe, its the stuff that the white cliffs of dover are made of, basically chalk composed of the bodies of dead algae (diatoms)
Not sure about the other bits, tho quartz is a natural rock. D.earth may change the pH of soil tho, making it more alkaline.
I went through this a couple of days ago on another forum with Al, he said take a couple of spoons of your floor dry in a cup of water and freeze it overnight. when it's thawed the next day, if it still holds its structure, it's good to use in place of Turface. Needs to be sieved before use, same as Turface.
True that the Dover Cliffs are made almost entirely of chalk (calcium carbonate - CaCO3), but chalk and DE are quite different, with DE being almost entirely SiO2 (silicon dioxide). "Safe" is relative. It's not poisonous, but you do need to be careful not to breathe the dust, because of its Si content. DE is pH neutral, at 7.0.
A lot of growers substitute NAPA floor dry, part #8822, for Turface when Turface can't be easily found. If you need help devising a plan to use it ......
I got mine at a John Deere store.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dealer Locator
Turface has a North American locator (Canada and the US) on their website for clicking and gritting. You want the MVP.
Can I use crushed granite from a rock quarry? OR would that not be bug free
Turface MVP is calcined clay of a certain type.

I wouldn't necessarily take an auto parts store person's word as gospel when it comes to growing plants - know what I mean? ;-) What does the 'same' mean? Made of the same type of clay, same size, fired at the same temperature or at least high enough to ensure it's stable? These are the more important considerations, with size distribution and stability being very important utilitarian considerations.
In looking to see what TS actually IS, I found this:
Just an FYI for those looking for alternative substrates
So, I was having a hard time finding SMS / Turface / Pro League / Pro's Choice in my area, and I know that the oildri products are often made by the same companies...
Well I bought a 40lb bag of Moltan brand Thriftysorb Montmorillonite Clay at the local Orielly's auto supply. It looked like a lot of the turface, etc pictures and seemed like a nice fit. However, after a week under water, or 2-3 freeze/thaw cycles in a zip lock bag with water, about half of it had decomposed to mud/clay. This is even after sifting to remove the smallest particles and Heavy rinsing (it was soooo dusty).
Well, I finally found a distributor for Pro's choice, drove an hour to get two bags.... this stuff is WAY better. almost no dust, rinsed clear in no time, and degradation with freeze thaw. Apparently it's fired to a much higher temperature, which maintains the stability.
So, cliff's notes... alternate substrate can = [thumbs up], Moltan brand = [thumbs down)
I started using cat litter, the cheap stuff
Cacti growers and bonsai folks swear by it!
Marble is primarily CaCO3 - the same stuff the White Cliffs of Dover are made of, only in a slightly different form. As such, it's not appropriate as a significant fraction of a soil because of pH issues.
If I were you, I'd put my patient hat on & make sure I understood what moving forward with a change of soils entails and what advantages there are in it. It's worth getting right the first time, as opposed to moving ahead in haste & missing something important, only to end up disappointed as a result. There is lots of guidance at your disposal ......
Cat litter varies WIDELY in it's ability to fill a need as a soil component - very few are suitable for a variety of reasons.
How much do you need right now?
It does take some time to find the right ingredients and Al is right about understanding the reasons to use the right materials. Understanding why they work is the start of happy healthy roots. This is where it all begins...
If you want, i will be more than happy to send you some until you can find a good source. Let me know and you can always send me an email.
I found my sources at different places and it did take some time, but once i found everything that i needed to make my mix it was worth the wait.
Take your time to locate.. and learn about soils and why it is important. This is a great time of the year to catch up... locate and store your bags and get ready for the spring when it is best to pot up.
I would be more than happy...
take care,
Do talk to your Napa store people and ask specifically for the Floor Dry #8822 part as Al suggested. My local Napa carries it, along with Oil-Dri which has a different part number. But the one you want *is* the Floor Dry #8822. It runs me about $9 for a big bag. If they don't have it in stock, they should be able to order it for you.
You'll need to sift it to get the dust out, and when you do, be sure you do this outside if possible. If you can, be sure to wear a mask just so you don't inhale the dust 'cause that's not very healthy for you. Other than that, the Floor Dry product is safe for your plants. It's pure DE and will say as much on the bag.
Gritty Mix takes effort, but it is more than worth it in the end.
..there likely came a point when each of us, having some trouble sourcing, said:
"man, forget it, its not worth it..." everyone Here will mostly tell you, It IS. :)
but the 'reasons' i persevered to find it are as Laura says,
Understanding the Value of it.
I did however 'roll-my-own' long before ever even hearing about the GW, tapla,
or that article on container soils - movement and water retention.
...maybe its instinctual? :)
just remember, your plants are fine now the way they are,, we're just trying to Improve them. ...doesnt Have to be Today. You plan on Having them tomm still right!? :)
Yes Silent but the plants I was concerned about were not fine, they were drenched in water.(which was over half my collection) I needed to resoil them right away so I was trying to find some alternatives that would work. I couldnt wait until I found the things suggested, They were not available in my area. Some of the plants came from the store soaked and the others were drenched from 2-3 months of rain in my yard. They were failing. the plants had to be done or they would be trash. I took off all the wet soil and repotted with what I thought was best.
I will keep looking meanwhile they got the best I could give them.
P - the best way to get direct answers to an immediate problem is to clearly identify the problem. If in your original post you would have offered the info in your post immediately above, I/others would have provided information that would have offered immediate (even if used on a temporal basis) relief of the problem of your soil being over-wet. That observation is not meant to be critical, it's to help you understand how to get the advice you need in the future.
Do you think you now have control of the problem; or are you still concerned about the water retention issue?
Larry - you don't have to, and it makes no difference to me, but if at some point you stop second guessing everything I say & give me a little credit for knowing a little something about container media and how to get them to work for you, you might end up with a significantly better understanding how much difference a little applied science can make to the average grower's o/a growing experience.
It's not the $-value of a product that determines its efficacy as a soil component, rather, it's the physical and chemical properties, like size, size uniformity, structural stability, internal porosity, CEC, pH, moisture retention curve, phytotoxicity .....
Do you know how many potential products are covered under the extremely broad brush stroke of "cheap cat litter"? [hundreds & hundreds]...... or how many of those must be eliminated because of one or more fatal flaws? [a huge % of them - probably 90% or more].
Al first of all my name is not p that indicates a bodily function.
Secondly I discussed with you in at LEAST 3-4 different threads that my plants were saturated from rain and were showing distress. You suggested the wick or changing soil. Remember the hawaiian ficus? That was ONE of them.
I don't come here to be scolded or spoke down to. OR engage in conflict, so Please if you are going to speak to me that manner, then PLEASE don't respond to any of my posts.
I try to treat everyone with respect when I post to them and I would appreciate the same.
Al, the reason that cheap cat litter is favored over the more expensive options is not a financial consiseration, but a compositional one. I heard about cat litter on the bonsai forum on GW . Then I heard about it on the BCSS site, a long established society. I asked about it, why the cheap stuff? Its because the expensive stuff tends to contain chemicals to neutralise odour, plus less grit, more clay.
So I gave it a try, like hundreds of growers across the country!
Stop sounding skills superior!
Sorry, POLLY. This isn't said with ire, and my last post was meant to be constructive. I'll be happy to avoid your threads - no problem there. I think it's unreasonable for any poster to assume that I (or anyone else) will remember with any degree of clarity what our conversations might have been in other threads. I talk to a LOT of people, so there is no way I can be expected to have total and instant recall of past conversations with you specifically. Additionally, ANY member arriving at your thread wouldn't have had a clue that your issue was severe over-watering until the thread was 3 days old.
There was actually absolutely nothing in my post that wasn't true, and if taken in the light it was offered, wouldn't have been helpful advice. I wasn't scolding you, only trying to help you avoid the frustration I know I'd be feeling if I was in your place.
Best luck in all things.
i read this, then left to go hit the Bank and run a cpl errands, on the way out i tossed a cpl pebbles at the neighbors window,, "dude, ya left your lights on",,,
the guy absolutely WENT-OFF!
i could hear him outside from 2 stories down, pissing and screaming,,,
i thought, 'geez, sorry to bother ya mr, go back to your crack pipe...'
yes, i live in a virtual SLUM.
so anytime no-ones Shooting at me, its a Good Day.
c'mon, lighten up guys,, this is the easy stuff.

Delivery Delays Hurt U.S. Effort To Equip Iraqis
By THOM SHANKER and ERIC SCHMITT; Thom Shanker reported from Baghdad for this article and Eric Schmitt from Washington.
Published: March 22, 2004
BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 21— Senior American commanders in Iraq are publicly complaining that delays in delivering radios, body armor and other equipment have hobbled their ability to build an effective Iraqi security force that can ultimately replace United States troops here.
The lag in supplying the equipment, because of a contract dispute, may even have contributed to a loss of lives among Iraqi recruits, commanders say. A spokesman for the company that was awarded the original contract said much of the equipment had already been produced and was waiting to be shipped to Iraq.
The frustration had been voiced privately up the chain of command by a number of officers, and broke into public debate in recent days. Training and equipping more than 200,000 Iraqi security forces has been one of the top stated priorities of the Bush administration.
Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr., commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, praised the work of Iraqi security forces helping to secure his area of control in western Iraq, which includes the dangerous region around Falluja and the Syrian border. But he said the effort had faltered because of a lack of combat gear for the police, border units and the new Iraqi Civil Defense Corps.
''Not only are the security forces bravely leading the fight against terrorists, they are in some cases insisting on doing it alone,'' General Swannack said 11 days ago. ''They want to defeat these enemies of a new and free Iraq. If we had the equipment for these brave young men, we would be much farther along.''
He said that in his region of western Iraq, which includes a long stretch of the Syrian border, foreign fighters, their money and weapons were suspected of entering Iraq along smugglers' routes. In this area, he said, ''we are still short a significant amount of vehicles, radios and body armor to properly equip'' the new Iraqi force.
Commanders in other parts of Iraq have also warned of serious problems. ''There are training, organizational and equipment shortfalls in the Iraqi security forces,'' said Brig. Gen. Carter Ham, the new American commander in northern Iraq. ''There's no question about that.''
The American military also suffered from shortages of crucial equipment during the war and even into the current phase of stability operations. In particular, soldiers complained of an insufficient supply of the newest bulletproof vests and, when improvised explosives began taking lives, of armored Humvees. Their complaints have been echoed loudly by members of Congress.
But the equipment for America's combat troops and that for Iraqi security services is obtained through separate contracting and procurement processes.
The first batch of equipment for the Iraqis has been paid for and was to have been delivered under a $327 million contract to a small company, Nour USA Ltd., of Vienna, Va. But the Pentagon canceled that deal this month after protests by several competing companies led to a determination that Army procurement officers in Iraq botched the contract. Army officials found no fault with Nour.
Sloppy contract language, staff turnover, incomplete paperwork and stressful combat conditions on the ground led to a badly flawed process, senior Army officials in Washington said. ''I've seen things go wrong before, but I've never seen anything like this,'' said a senior Army official with 28 years' experience in government contracting. ''We messed up.''
The Army is rushing to seek new bids for the contract, but officials said that could take two to three months. In the meantime, officials are looking to see if they can use other funds and piggyback on existing contracts for weapons and other equipment that federal agencies like the F.B.I. already have to speed the delivery of vital matériel to Iraq.
''Part of it is just the magnitude of how much was needed -- thousands of police cars, hundreds of thousands of uniforms,'' Maj. Gen. Buford C. Blount III, the deputy director of operations for the Army staff in Washington, said in an interview. ''It was just a lot harder to get stuff in than we anticipated.''
The $327 million contract was to supply several battalions of the new Iraqi security forces with rifles, uniforms, body armor and other equipment. The original contract, awarded in January, did not specify the number of troops to be supplied. Instead it identified specific amounts of equipment -- for instance, 200 trucks and 20,000 compasses. That contract was to be the first of several to equip the Iraqi forces.
A spokesman for Nour USA, Robert R. Hoopes Jr., said the company had protested the Army's cancellation of the contract, saying it could cost $20 million to $30 million in termination cost to the company and its suppliers.
Mr. Hoopes said much of the equipment in the original contract -- including radios, compasses, canteens and body armor -- had already been produced and was sitting in warehouses in the United States and Eastern Europe, waiting to be delivered to Iraq. ''The stuff is sitting on the dock, ready to go,'' Mr. Hoopes said in a telephone interview.

Lower corner cabinet in kitchen - any good ideas?
As an organizationally challenged person, I am thrilled to have found this forum! I am reorganizing my kitchen for the umpteenth time, and am at a loss as to what to do with one lower cabinet - it is a blind corner and currently has a semi-circular lazy susan that I absolutely hate since things fall off of it. I wonder if anyone here has any good ideas as to how to best use a lower corner cabinet? I would love some success stories!
Thanks so much!
Welcome to the organization forum! I am one of the "regulars" here. Hope you enjoy this place. We are big on "decluttering," and only owning what you actually need and use.
In my U-shaped kitchen, there are two corner cabinets with lazy suzans inside. One of them is the baking/dry goods section (heavy stuff such as bags of flour, sugar, etc.), the other is for plastic food storage containers (very light weight stuff).
Even though it makes the shelf heavy, with a lot of inertia, I find it very handy to have all the baking stuff in one place. When I'm measuring out and putting into the bowl of the stand mixer, it is very quick to take something out, add it to the recipe, and put it back. I put a small cardboard box on one of the shelves in the baking section to hold small stuff, like birthday candles, small jars of vanilla and almond extract, etc. I think that keeps them from falling off the edge of the shelf.
The other corner is near the dishwasher, so I remove dishes and put them in the cabinet above, and food containers go into the corner down low.
Works for me.
Once in a while, something does fall off one of the shelves and jams the spinning action of the lazy susans. But that is rare.
I find the round shelves to be a bit inconvenient. Large, square objects don't settle into the curved shape at the edge of the shelves as well as many small, round objects. I guess it just depends on what you want to try to fit inside there.
Have you looked into one of the blind corner units?
Here is a link that might be useful: Lee Valley Blind Corner pull out
Because I just hate my corner cabinet I only utilize it for things I don't use much like baking pans, wok, crock pot, cooking racks. The less I have to go into that cabinet, the happier I am.
I may consider that pull out that cocontom linked, for my new kitchen so I can make better use of the corner cabinet.
Hummm, I have one of those 3/4 lazy susan blind-corner shelves and I love it. I have never even had anything fall off--what am I don't wrong?
It has two shelves; I use it as an appliance garage. I keep the mixer, food processor, blender, Foreman type grill, waffle maker, deep fryer.
currently has a semi-circular lazy susan that I absolutely hate since things fall off of it
Can you glue a higher rim to it so things won't be as likely to fall?
Put small things into baskets to corral them?
I keep Tupperware on mine, but mustang's appliance garage idea sounds better because it is blocked when I'm loading my DW.
I had always hated those lazy susan corner cabinets, too. In past kitchens, I had always had problems with things falling off, never to be seen again. When we moved into this house, we needed to redo the kitchen. We kept the section along the walls, which included an useless corner cabinet with only one small shelf along the back. I had to kneel down and put my head & shoulders into the cabinet to get to the back. While we were waiting for the kitchen to be done, pretty much all I could do was just chuck things into this cabinet and hope I didn't need them again. I never would have really been able to use it for anything. The new section was an L shaped island. I could have chosen a lot of different configurations for this, including shelves on the backside, facing the living room, rather than a corner cabinet. But DH didn't like that, and I really did need storage space in the kitchen. So I ended up with a lazy susan and had the cabinet people put a lazy susan into the old cabinet in the other corner. I made sure they were heavy duty. The new one has a full shelf under the top turning section, so it is strong enough to hold my cuisinart and other appliances that I will use at the island. So all I have to do is open it and lift rather than carry them anywhere like I had to do in other houses. The other lazy susan, in the old cabinet, I hold containers, like flour, sugar, rice, onions, collanders, large pots. The stuff I use more frequently is toward the front, less used items all the way in back. There is also extra space along the walls where I keep a large cutting board and have a clip that holds a tupperware mat for rolling out dough (when it was rolled up, I never used it because it didn't lay flat). So I use them both alot. As long as I have specific things to go on them, not a lot of small stuff, and don't turn them too quickly, they are great. I have to say, I also didn't want the pull out shelves for the island. But I like those, too. Maybe the newer, better designed ones work better than the older ones I was used to? I would definitely suggest storing things that are not tall and skinny, and if they are light or small, put them into a larger container.
ihad a lazy susan in the old house and i hated it..i have 2 blind corners that are very deep..in most of my bottom cupboards i have pullouts and drawers..but those blind corners i do not have..
i put things way int he back that i really hardly ever use and i have a label to remind me what is there..so i don't forget..one is a dehydrator..large and bulky..lots of that kind of thing..but i am handicapped and it is difficult to get to it even when i need it..so i usually don't..good place for things i'll never or seldom use.I would love one of those blind corner pull out units but can't afford them

I'm using Soluvel, and it isn't doing much.
Honestly, I think anything that irritates the wart will help. My daughters both had flat warts on their faces. The derm explained to me that warts are so hard to treat because they're on top of the skin and therefore hard for your body's immune system to find. But, when you irritate them, it gives your immune something to actively seek out.
For us, we did topical tea tree oil as well as internal oil of oregano. I have no idea what worked but, one day they got very red and angry looking and then within a few days they were gone. Their bodies finally found the warts I guess?
We used castor oil on my stepson's warts, worked great and the never came back, applied twice a day under a bandaid.
I had a plantar wart. It looked pretty much flat, but went deep inside of my foot. I could barely walk. I felt like I had tried EVERYTHING. and nothing was helping. I started taking massive doses of vit c for something else totally unrelated, and after a few days the wart was gone!

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Albert Pujols went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored as the LA Angels of Anaheim took an 8-3 win over the Oakland Athletics to open a four-game set.
Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo each drove in two while J.B. Shuck scored three runs for the Angels, who have won their past two. C.J. Wilson (11-6) won his third straight start as he gave up three runs on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts over seven innings.
"We'll take eight runs any way they come," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "If we have one hitter hitting two grand slams and that's the only two hits we get, we'll take it. But I think the depth of our lineup is important. I think we had everybody contributing tonight, and that's nice."
Derek Norris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI for the Athletics, who came into the game having won three of four. Dan Straily (6-4) was touched for five runs on seven hits with two walks and five strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.
"I thought I had some pretty good command with the ball tonight," said Straily. "But later in the game they were able to get some good swings on the ball. They're aggressive hitters and they swing at a lot of pitches."
Pujols' RBI single in the third pushed across the first run of the game, but Oakland went on top in the fourth as Yoenis Cespedes scored on a wild pitch and a single from Norris scored Chris Young, who had doubled in the previous at-bat.
The Angels went back on top in the fifth thanks to a four-run frame.
Erick Aybar led off with a walk and Shuck singled. Trout's sac fly scored the first run of the frame, and Pujols followed with a single. Josh Hamilton then plated a run with a single and Trumbo followed with a two-run double for a 5-2 lead.
The Angels padded their lead further in the sixth as a Jesse Chavez wild pitch scored Hank Conger, and Trout and Pujols added RBI singles later in the frame for an 8-2 lead.
Norris' solo homer to left-center in the bottom of the sixth accounted for the final score as the A's managed just one baserunner in the final three innings.
Despite the loss, the A's still lead the season series, 6-4 ... LA batted 6-
for-11 with runners in scoring position, while the A's were just 1-for-9 and
stranded six ... Straily fell to 1-2 in five games against the Angels ...
Wilson has three wins in four starts against the A's this season.

If contradiction was an Olympic sport, Chip Kelly would certainly be medal-worthy judging by his performance at the NFL's owners meeting but the Eagles coach might have to settle for silver because Daniel Snyder's critics will take the gold every time.
There isn't much after that. The Miami Marlins are loaded up for a playoff push -- likely through a wild card spot -- and the New York Mets are up-and- coming but still raw. The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, former powerhouses of the division, are going through rebuilds and won't contend anytime soon.

How To Add Floor Trim, Transitions, and Reducers
Since sharing this photo over a month ago, some of you have asked for more detail about putting the transitions around the cork floor in our kitchen (and around the fireplace's floor surround).
Oh but remember we're eventually going to be refinishing the rooms with the orange wood flooring to match the darker cork tone, so it should look something like this down the line (pardon the bad photoshop):
Finding the right thing for the job was a bit of an effort on our part since our Lisbon Cork doesn't come with matching transitions. In fact, the guy at Lumber Liquidators recommended against any kind of cork transition because they're not as durable as a harder wood when it comes to the kicks and bumps that transitions may have to withstand. Lumber Liquidators sold oak transitions that we could've stained to match (I think the price was around $45 for a 72″ piece), but I found an engineered option at Home Depot for $27 that was a pretty darn close match already. The only bummer was they only carried 48″ pieces in stock, so I had to special order the 72″ pieces (and then wait a few weeks for them to arrive at the store where I could pick them up) which is why only our shorter doorways got transition-ed back when we finished the floor in March. So yeah, it was about time we got on the rest of them.
When it comes to installing transitions on cork floors, there aren't a lot of tutorials out there (at least not that I could find) so while I'd love to create one, I'm not sure I'd call my methods perfect – but I'll tell you guys about my process so at least there's something out there on the ol' internet. Since I didn't photograph the process of putting in the transition above back when we finished the kitchen, let's follow the story of this guy instead (who we finally tackled last week).
Since we installed our floating cork floor over an existing floor (due to an asbestos liner under our vinyl tile), our transitions have a smidge of a step down. Around 1/4-1/2″ because the existing floor was already a tiny bit higher than the original hardwood in the dining room (keep in mind these rooms didn't connect like this until we made them). In instances where hardwood floors aren't the same level, you need a transition piece called a "reducer." I'm sorry the photo below looks like a hand puppet choking on a giant piece of wood, but you'll see how one side slopes down and one side steps up – that's how it connects a slightly lower floor to a slightly higher one without making a big bump that everyone trips over. The key to the most seamless look is to keep it gradual and not go for anything that looks crazy curved, like the letter C.
Once I stripped the plastic off of them (that's what looks marked up in the third picture), I drew a line with a ballpoint pen where I needed to cut it in order to get a good fit. Then I made the slice with my miter saw.
Some of the tutorials I read suggested using adhesive to keep the transitions in place. All of the transitions in our house are nailed in, and that's how the transitions were in our last house too – so I decided to go that route again. Since we haven't purchased a nail gun (although we do plan to take that plunge soon), I pre-set the nail into the wood before putting it into place in the doorway by partially banging it in with a piece of scrap wood underneath to get it started (pre-drilling a very small hole could also work, especially if you worry about your transition splitting).
Here's how I was positioning the transition along the doorway. Since this was the most drastic drop, I actually rested the small lip on the high end on the top of the cork to keep it in place.
After banging it all in to get things flush (tip: we like using a $3 nail punch to avoid denting the wood), it actually came out looking pretty good. And now it's no longer the toe-stubbing hazard that it's been for the last four months, though we've somehow dodged getting tripped up on it (perhaps because the for-now floor color change makes it so obvious).
The transition along the hallway was pretty much the same exact process, so I'll skip right to how we finally tackled the unfinished fireplace. It was an interesting case since it has corners that I had to miter, but I just cut 45 degree angles with my miter saw after measuring the length of each side. You might remember seeing the raw edge most recently in this post.
Right now the fireplace is lower than the cork, so we needed to use the reducers again. It's kind weird, but it's only temporary (once we find tile that we love enough not to feel like we're settling, we're planning to retile this area, which will raise things up so it's all flush and we'll scrap these tide-us-over-for-now transitions).
But for now, our transition trim actually works pretty well. It's so funny how sometimes these little steps like trimming something out can make such a big difference when it comes to something looking polished and complete. Three cheers for no more raw edges!
Here's a view from the hallway of the new transition in that doorway (and the fireplace beyond it). Oh and yes, that is a giant faux clam shell in the fireplace. It was the item from our Joss & Main collection that we bought for ourselves (you know how Sherry is about giant fake clam shells…). It's huge and probably weighs twice as much as Clara, but oddly enough at least five of our friends/relatives have asked where they can get one for their empty fireplace. Haha, let's start a clam-shell-in-the-fireplace movement.
And now for a shot of all three freshly transitioned-areas at once. Ta-dah! We have officially trimmed out our way to a completed cork floor. Don't mind the place-holder rug in there (it's leftover from our first kitchen, but would love to replace it someday).
Anyone else have any transition adventures? Or need to take care of some doorways around their house? I was so surprised there weren't as many cork transition posts on the interweb as I thought there'd be. In the words of Keenan Thompson: what up with that?

I just love the color of that cork flooring every time i see it. What a great choice guys :)
The transitions definitely help the floors look more finished. Too bad there aren't more tutorials available online (that's surprising because I feel like EVERYTHING is online, especially after your post on Friday).
Will you plan to stain the orangey-floors yourselves or bring in professionals??
I love it when people's names and professions match up in almost comical ways! Before moving to Richmond I had a dentist named Dr. Fill and a physics teacher named Mr. Boyles – too perfect!
The transitions look great! We have a really big difference in the floor height between our kitchen and living room – I'm talking like almost an inch (it was like that when we bought the house). Right now we just have a piece of quarter round as the transition, but it's obnoxious that it is such a big difference. My son tripped over it more than once while learning how to walk. I'm hoping that once we are able to tear up the hideous tile in the kitchen and replace it with either better looking tile or laminate or something like that we will be able to address the huge difference in floor heights.
How's Mr Fawcett who is a urology surgeon or Dr D'eth or Dr Dark for anaesthetists!?
Looks so much better! Amazing what a big difference such minor tweaks can make (those are the best!)
We're seriously considering putting cork flooring in our little office. It's currently the only area in the entire Little House without hardwood. We found some that is a similar color to our existing floors without looking like we tried to match stains.
This will definitely help us make the transitions from the office to the other rooms in the house!
In the future, you might want to predrill the nail holes with a slightly smaller hole than the nail. When one of those strips splits when you are punching through the nail, Clara should not be subjected to the language that usually follows. Trust me.
That white fireplace surrounded by the dark cork is so beautiful. I feel like these pics are really good for seeing the whole "soft avocado"ness of your walls too. (It really does look lime green sometimes lol) Great palette. Thanks for the inspiration!
Isn't it amazing how much more finished and lovely it all looks just with that one (or several) pieces of wood? Great job!
Looks SOO fresh around the fireplace! Now I can't wait to put in our transitions after we ripped up the carpet in our dining room!!! :) I bet it will make a world of difference.
It's the little details that really complete a space. It looks great. With the dark cork flooring I actually like the white fireplace but I am sure you guys have something great in mind.
I've been thinking about re-tiling the area in front of my fireplace, but now that I know you guys are planning to do it, I think I'll hold off and wait to read your post about it first. On another note, I tried your cutting in method for the first time last weekend when I repainted my bedroom, and it was amazing! It pains me to think of how many rolls of painters tape I've been through in the last five years. Thanks for the tip!
The floors look so much more finished! I love the color by the way, our new house (we move in May) has hardwood floors almost the exact same color and I am OBSESSED with them.
This post is helpful as some of the transitions in the new house are unfinished and will be something we need to tackle at some point. Probably quite soon after moving in as I am the clumsiest person of all time and will definitely trip as long as they're unfinished.
I think I've mentioned this before but I have really really really long arms (a la John)and yesterday I actually managed to trip myself with my own hand/arm(sounds impossible, but it's not apparently.)
Feel free not to read this. I know how busy you guys are but I wrote about it here http://www.filing-jointly.com/2012/04/i-got-hate-mail-today-i-have-made-it-as.html
I just want you to know that I literally laughed out loud at work while reading that post.
Thanks Stephanie! That's great to hear.
Have you guys considered doing the fireplace surrounding in the same gray penny tile that's on the feature wall?
Look great!
You beat me to it – I was just about to say, how is that your awk & amazing Eminem video is out there, but no cork tutorials? Also, love the Keenan reference. Remember "All That"? Ha.
Oh my goodness!!! Great memories! Loved that show!
Sherry you forgot the "yeahs"! This is allll that! Yeah-ee-yea-ee-yeahhhh, this is allll thaaaat!
Should I mention that in the wee early hours of the morning, the channel Teen Nick re-airs some of those shows (All That, Keenan & Kel, etc)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_%2790s_Are_All_That
The "hand puppet choking a giant piece of wood" was a LOL- just so you know! ;-)

Are you still liking your cork floor after living with it a while? It's on our kitchen floor short list next to Marmoleum, and I would love to use it.
We have cork in our entire house except for the kitchen, which is Marmoleum. I wish so badly we had just gone with the cork in the kitchen as well. The Marmoleum scratches like crazy! Our cork has dings and scratches too, but because of the way it looks you can't see them unless you know they are there and are right down on the floor. It is also quite hard compared to the cork – after standing on it for a while cooking my feet get sore.
The transitions look great! Not much excitement over here last weekend – very rainy & lazy. We all need weekends like that sometimes, right?
I can't believe you're going to stain those beautiful floors darker… I will be very sad when you do.
What Margo says….
It looks great. I have similar unfinished edges around my fireplace (I ripped them to paint the tile surround versus gently removing… i'm regretting that now) and this just may be the thing to get me motivated. I've been living with mine for a few months now!
Oh man, it looks great! I'm a little disheartened after seeing this post, though, because my husband and I are dealing with our own transition/trim woes as I write this. We had hardwoods installed (over a floating subfloor) in the living room, which transitions the the now lower tiled kitchen. The actual transition piece is fine, but the large space beneath it is less than ideal. But our major hang-up is how to trim the wall where it slopes into the kitchen. We have an open concept, with rounded corners where the walls meet (make sense?). Anywho, our floor installer said he'd figure it out (that small weird transition trim dilemma… It's not in a doorway like yours is) and we were so over our experience with his work ethic (far too long a story to divulge), so we said we'd just take care of it. In comes guy #2 to do the trim, promising a smooth trim transition. I want to cry. It looks TERRIBLE. Any suggestions on what to do or where to seek help? It looks like a cosmetic surgery gone way wrong… But on my floor. It's sad. Thanks guys!
Did you fill the nail holes in the transitions or are they not noticable?
Looks awesome as usual! I was thinking oh I love that basket with toys in the fireplace looks great! Then the Clam…Love it!
Wow, those look great! We are going with a similar color to your cork for our vinyl floors that look like real wood. Hopefully, we will be getting them in the next few months.
P.S. I love that giant clam in your fireplace! It's always interesting to see what you guys put in there.
Looks good! It's amazing how finishing touches can make a big difference…. I love the big shell! That's so cool….me and hubby sing "what up with that" all the time, so funny! Lol
I love the shell! But you so should get a little mermaid figurine to put in the clam shell. I know I am totally random, but the little mermaid musical performance was the first thing that popped into my head:)
The transitions look great! Good job. And thanks for the tips since there are so few tutorials on-line.
As for the clam shell, am I the only one who thinks it looks like a webbed hand waiting for something to be put into it to snap shut? :-)
