RE: What Do You Cook in your RV?
Basically like we cook at home with the exception that dh cooks most of the meats on the grill unless its something I make in the crockpot. I don't fry in the rv,I use microwaveable bacon and sausage or occasionally cook bacon in the microwave.I haven't used the oven but put to good use the largest toaster oven I could find for toast,biscuits and muffins.

RE: Overniting with other RV.Net Members
At one time there was actually a group of rvers that had their name on a list to offer overnight stopping to those that needed it.It was several years ago,so guess it didn't go over. Would we post our address out there for everyone? NO! On the long ago list you were required to put your town or what city you were near and what highways went by or near your residence and a phone number. THEN if you were in the area and needed a spot you'd call and be given directions in. We put our info on the list but never heard from anyone. We are a few miles off of hwy 17 and own a vacant lot behind out house with the rv shelter. It has water and electric and if you go up to the picnic table under the boat shelter you can get WIFI. Its far enough from our house we wouldn't bother you and vise versa. We actually had a regional IRV2 rally back there 3 years ago and have had friends stay on their way to the beach or on their way up 17 to the Jersey coast. Our "campground" is always open!

RE: What's YOUR favoriite crock pot recipe?
One of mine is cooking now,and smells sooooo good! Put boneless,skinless chicken breast in crockpot,sprinkle with a package of Taco seasoning,add 1 cup salsa(mild or to your liking) and a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup. Cook on low about 6 hours,remove from heat add 1/2 cup sour cream and serve with rice. My daughter doesn't like sour cream so she adds sharp cheddar cheese to hers instead.

RE: Anybody got a Hawking 300 N range extender ?
I had to program it with my wireless here at the house, with a internet cable. After it was programed I removed the cable and moved to where I wanted it to work. In the garage my puter showed the wireless with a weak signal and the range extender with a strong signal. It had to have the password to connect.

Anybody got a Hawking 300 N range extender ?
I got a Hawking range extender today and it works great from the house to a computer in my garage about a 100 feet away. What I would like to know if I take it in the RV do I have to reprogram it at each campground? I got it for use at home and at the campgrounds. Most campgrounds I get a weak signal and most of the time have to move closer to the wireless to get internet.

RE: Black Friday "wally-docking"
A little late now to post this but many Black Friday items could have been purchased Thursday on line,not just from Wal-Mart but from many other stores also. I haven't been and never had the desire to go to Black Friday Madness sale. If I venture out today it will be late afternoon when the early shoppers have shopped out and have gone home. One year our oldest daughter was at Wal-Mart at 5 am to get a certain item but when we went at 7 p.m. they had a large flat of the item at the same predawn price-go figure!!

RE: RV Flips..
Multiple blunt trauma??? As I found out, his age is prime time check-out time as far as the heart goes.
I read his age to be 58 and that is "prime time check-out"?? I thought it was young and I'm not too much older than that!!

RE: Easiest Thanksgiving Menu I could find.
Yeah man !! Golden Corral ... slip on da ol' feed bag ha ha ha ... think now they are doing one kid get eats for free, right ?
I dont know how true it is .. but I heard that people were going in there at the end of lunch staying for hours and having dinner also ... so they've set a time limit ... I dont think Ive seen anything posted that suggests or supports that idea ... but I could see why they would do it.
An aquaintance of my daughter's said she would go to Golden Corral on the weekend for the breakfast buffet,arrive late and hang around for the lunch buffet,now that is tacky to say the least!!! She was also known to line a large purse with foil and nab a few steaks to go.If I was low enough to do anything like that I don't think I'd tell anyone! :E

RE: What is wrong with my wireless router?
Are you talking about the desktop in the garage? It had no wireless, just the adapter that I installed. I may bring the desktop back to the house, where it is close to the wireless router and see how it works.

RE: What is wrong with my wireless router?
Now that maybe it !! Cordless 2.4 GHz in house and garage and a daughter that calls all the time. I still think I should see the router even if poor. I will remove the cordless in the garage tomorrow and try it again.

RE: What is wrong with my wireless router?
This is not a laptop but a desktop. I have the wireless adapter on a 15ft cord handing above the garage door. I am getting a 44% signal when working and nothing when it quits. I cannot find any network doing a scan of the networks. I am on the coast of NC and very flat land. I would hope the router would work a 100 feet. I would think I could see something ever if very poor.

What is wrong with my wireless router?
I have a Linksys ultra range plus N router in my house. It works perfect with the laptop in the house. I have a older puter running Windows XP in the garage about a 100 feet from the router. I can get it up on internet and it will run ok for about 10 min. and then loose the signal. At the garage it shows a signal strength of 3 to 4 bars. When I loose the signal it shows no bars or even the network. I got it labeled as tom network and using security. If I shut the desktop down it will show the network and connect again for about 10 min. Any ideas to what going on???

RE: Grape Salad
I had some of this at a pot luck and maybe they didn't make it right but I didn't care for it. I'd like to make it,but afraid I won't like it with a different recipe either,but it really sounds good! Do you cut the grapes in half or leave them whole?

RE: Cornbread disaster
Oh,I have a great recipe I found in a 1963 McCalls cookbook,it doesn't use much sugar but taste as good as cake,I make it often and have served it to company.
1 cup sifted flour
1 cup yellow corn meal
2 T.sugar
3 t.baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 egg,beaten
1/4 cup salad oil or melted shortening
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 425,Grease an 8 X 8 inch baking pan
Sift flour with sugar,baking powder,and salt.Add cornmeal mixing well,set aside
In medium bowl combine egg,salad oil and milk,mixing well. Add flour mixture stirring only until flour mixture is moistened.
Spoon into prepared pan,bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.Cut into squares and serve hot with butter. Makes 9 servings
Note: I use self rising flour and corn meal,which cuts out the use of the baking powder and salt.This rises up,nice thick sweet pieces-soooo good!

RE: Grocery Store Savings -- your personal best?
Considering the number of coupons in extras to the Sunday paper, the paper ends up being free for the week. I just spent some time this morning clipping the ones I wanted from this Sunday's edition. You have to look for savings where you can. I don't buy stuff I don't normally use just because there is a coupon.
I feel the same way. I know from reading a couple of coupon forums there are people who will take home ANYTHING if its free! I don't do that,I do stock up on things we use,as coupons seem to be "seasonal", In the summer its ketchup,salad dressings,mustard,mayo,etc things for cookouts. In early fall coupons were for soup,items for kids lunch boxes,cereal etc.Coupons for grits only come out once in a year in the fall,so being a southerner gotta stock up on them,try to find room in the freezer so they won't get buggy! Right now many coupons are coming out for items for holiday cooking-canned frosting,canned milk,cooking oil,yeast,etc.

RE: Grocery Store Savings -- your personal best?
I do realize not all have stores that double coupons,I have found that out in our travels. Using coupons is like playing cards,you have to know when to hold them and when to use them. One of our stores doesn't double,but I sometimes often save up to half on my grocery bill there also. Couponing shopping is my hobby and its like a treasure hunt,it does take up time,but is well worth the time and effort you put into it!

RE: Grocery Store Savings -- your personal best?
Oh my,is that all you saved? I have a mini grocery store in my home and as much as I can possibly load in the rv's pantry. We have a store that doubles coupons with a value of up to .99 every day,once a month lately they have been tripling that amount. On any average shopping trip with store card and coupons I save half on my grocery bill and we eat very well,that often includes rib eye steaks.ribs,seafood,etc. I also stock up on a lot of items for my daughter who lives in Myrtle Beach and has stores that only double. up to .50 coupons. I get coupons out of Sunday papers,magazines,internet printables,off of tear pads in the grocery store and have even been know to buy coupons off of ebay.When they triple coupons my out of pocket amount runs $2,$3 or less for several bags of groceries. In the past when we went to recycle the newspaper bin was running over and we'd get the coupons out of the Sunday papers on top,they changed the bins so can no longer do that. Around the holidays a lot of companies put out booklets with recipes and coupons-look for those. Nabisco has one out now with $40 in coupons in side,$1.50 off Starbucks coffee combined with a sale of $6.99 brought that $9.49 bag down to a nice price! THere is a magazine only sold at Wal-Mart,its ALL You and they always have a lot of coupons,once in awhile for free items. I could go on,but will get off my soap box,go cook breakfast and enjoy my Starbucks coffee! Oh,have to add,my "personal best" was when the grocery store ended up owing me money!!

RE: I will never buy anything from Lowrance again !!!!
No, I went to Lowrance and ordered it. It ended up costing me around $10 with the shipping. It going to cost them a lot more than that. Like I said I will not buy any thing with Lowrance again !!! Next year I am going to get a new GPS and it will be another brand, probably a Garmin. I have a Garmin on my boat and it more user friendly than the Lowrance I had on my old boat.
