Whats Going On With Nana?: This Week at Nana's

Old Town Luminaries. Albuquerque, New Mexico.

WEATHER UPDATE:

COLD.

Its been cold enough to see your breath in the early morning. I keep the heater thermostat below 70 degrees during the day but when I get up in the morning it says 60 degrees in the house. Brrrrrr to that temperature. The night temps are averaging in the low 30's. No snow yet. I have a feeling we will get some snow soon.

OUTDOORS UPDATE:

Nothing happening plant wise outdoors. The leaves have been blown clear of the driveway and walkways. The outdoor plants get a watering each weekend but that will be lessened soon.

INDOORS PLANTS UPDATE:

Chives

The indoor greens are growing well and look good. The chives grew a good bit this week. Im trying hard not to over spritz them with water as I am known for over watering.

Parsley

Basil

PET UPDATE:

Wheezy hates to have his picture taken and he is grumpy today.

Don"t worry he had a treat after he was videoed. I dont like my picture taken either. LOL

Mauricio hanging out having a snack.

Mr. Tubb's Murky Tank. :(

Mr Tubb's tank seem to look somewhat cloudy. The tank was recently cleaned and fresh water added. I noticed Zander's water looks cloudy too and he had his little bowl house cleaned. I think it may have something to do with the city water. Maybe its highly chlorinated. Not sure. I did put in the drops for chlorine when the water was changed out. Poor my fish buddies. It does not seem to effect them. The fish gang are still hungry and eat well. They don't swim any different. Im keeping a close eye on it.

Housekeeping Made Easy:

Alka Seltzer: Remove Burnt-On Grease and Food Stains.
When letting your pots and pans soak, throw in one or two Alka Seltzer tablets and the caked on residue from cooking will come off easily when you scrub/wash.

This crescent roll recipe is easy and pretty good if you don't have time to make the original time consuming crescent recipe. This recipe is completely yeast free! Once baked, the texture is light and flaky. The cheese makes them rise and flake.

In A Hurry Crescent Rolls

1/2 stick butter, room temperature
3/4 cup ricotta cheese or cream cheese
1 cup flour

In the bowl of your mixer, combine all ingredients to form dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

On lightly floured surface roll the dough into a 14 inch thin circle. Cut into 8 triangles.
Roll each triangle from wide end to tip, turning ends to form a crescent shape.
Place on a prepared cookie sheet.
Bake 25 - 30 minutes.Watch carefully at the end of the baking time.

PC Technical Advice

I repair computers/monitors and I dabble in writing code C+, and website designing, Java Script, HTML, etc. I'm NOT an expert at all. However, when it comes to computers I will try to figure out most operating systems and their works. My best computer advice is to keep things simple on your PC. Don't overload your PC with programs that you seldom or never use. Never, ever download something without researching the program because of virus and non compatible software issues . Keep your PC protected and clean from malware daily.

How to Fix Internet Explorer has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close

Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options or click on the Settings gear icon at the top right and then clear out the temporary Internet files. Under Browsing History, click the Delete button and then check Temporary Internet files and website files. In case you downloaded an executable file that is causing the problem, this will remove it.

In some versions of Internet Explorer script debugging can be the cause for this issue. You can try disabling script debugging by going to Internet Options again, clicking on the Advanced tab and then checking the Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer) and Disable Script Debugging (Other) boxes.

***Run your anti-spyware and anti-virus software on the computer to seek out a possible threat to your operating system. I run CCLEANER program and that usually takes care of the issue. I use this program to scan the registry files too.
