    03 X 171 Dining with Donna 38: BBQ Bacon Burgers

    BBQ Bacon Burgers What You Will Need: Measuring spoons measuring cups 1 grill 1 pastry brush Paper towels Ingredients: 1 ½ pounds of ground round ¼ teaspoon of salt ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground pepper ½ cup of barbecue sauce, divided 4 slices of white Cheddar cheese 4 sesame seed hamburger buns 8 cooked bacon slices Cooking Directions: Preheat grill to 350 to 400 degrees (medium-high) heat). Shape beef into 4 (4 inch diameter) patties. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place patties on cooking grate of grill; brush with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce. Grill, covered with grill lid, 5 minutes. Turn patties over; brush with an additional 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce. Cook 5 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink in the center. Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese. Grill, covered with grill lid, 1 minute, or until cheese melts. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun. Top each with bacon and barbecue sauce. Top with bun. Notes: Toast buns on grill; a swipe of melted butter makes them crispy. Grill a sliced Vidalia onion on the grill alongside the burgers for an extra topping. Lettuce, tomato and pickles would also pare well with these burgers. Makes 4 servings. Helpful Hints: Peeled Too Many Potatoes? * Submerse them in cold water to which a few drops of vinegar have been added. Keep refrigerated and they will last for 3 to 4 days. * Leftover baked potatoes will sour quickly if stacked together in the refrigerator. How to keep Garlic fresh as the day you bout them? * Garlic cloves will never dry out if you store them in a bottle of cooking oil. After the garlic is used up, you can use the garlic-flavored oil for salad dressing. *****Important notice from Donna J.

    Picture this… A group of men, sitting in a converted garage studio, knocking back the suds on a hot Texas afternoon, and talking about their various home handymen projects… Now picture the men as being blind and visually impaired, and you have the Blind Handyman, with Phil Parr, the creator, producer and host of the show, his compatriots, Don Shaw, Don Patterson and Tom Houston. Together, these men decided to get together to let people know that the blind can accomplish any job, if they have the know-how, and the funds with which to support their projects. The Blind Handyman crew bring you the first of those solutions, and the second one is up to the handyman, blind or not. Here now is The Blind Handyman, in the hopes of inspiring others the same way they inspired Victor, when he first went blind in 2002. Enjoy, as these four men regale you with tales of their projects and how they accomplished them, and how you can do the same, with just a few tools and confidence. Whose Blind Life is it Anyway is proud to broadcast these shows again, in their entirety in the hopes that, what they gave Victor hope to get past his blindness, and live a fulfilling life, will inspire others with the same assurance.

    03 X 167 Your Mental Stretch 05: August 2023

    Donna continues to encourage her listeners to use her mental stretch as both a strategy and a tool to help you deal with a plethora of situations. From anxiety to stress and from dealing with every day mental clutter and crunches to overcoming the unexpected, Donna's mental stretch is flexible, easy to use, and does not depend on any sort of medication or artificial assistance. It is totally dependent on you and yourself. You can reach Donna via email at: donnajodhan@gmail.com Using the sense of hearing: Listening to crickets chirp Listening to the sound of a lawn mower Listening to children laughing and playing Using the sense of smell: Outdoor barbecues cooking Fragrant flowers The smell of a gentle summer's rain falling Using the sense of taste: Sweet lemonade a cold salad A yummy hot dog Using the sense of touch: Warm water in a lake or ocean Cool sand under the fingers A leaf Quote to ponder “Anyone can hold a grudge, but it takes a person with character to forgive. When you forgive, you release yourself from a painful burden. Forgiveness doesn't mean what happened was OK, and it doesn't mean that person should still be welcome in your life. It just means you have made peace with the pain and are ready to let it go.” Doe Zantamata The brain teaser. What is your favorite sport?

    03 X 165 Dining with Donna 37: Asian Calamari and Citrus Salad

    Asian Calamari And Citrus Salad What You Will Need: Measuring cups Measuring spoons 1 sharp kitchen knife for slicing 1 greater 1 knife for pealing Mixing bowls 1 whisk 1 shallow dish or large freezer bag a cooking grate Paper towels Ingredients: 3 naval oranges ¼ cup of olive oil ¼ cup of red curry paste ¼ teaspoon of salt ¼ teaspoon of pepper 1 pound package of cleaned calamari (tubes and tentacles), rinsed Cooking spray 1 cup of thinly sliced red onion Fresh cilantro leaves Cooking Directions: Grate orange peel zest to 1 teaspoon. squeeze juice from 1 orange to obtain 1 third cup of juice Peel and section remaining 2 oranges. Coarsely chop sections. Whisk together orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, red curry paste, salt and pepper in a bowl and reserve 3 tablespoons mixture for later use. Pour remaining marinade into a large shallow dish or zip-top plastic freezer bag; add calamari. Cover or seal and chill 2 hours, turning occasionally. Remove calamari from marinade, discarding marinade. Coat a cold cooking grate with cooking spray, and place on grill. Preheat grill to 400 to 450 degrees (high) heat. Grill calamari tubes and tentacles, without grill lid, 4 minutes, or until firm, turning once. Place calamari in a large bowl; add red onion, cilantro, chopped orange sections and reserved 3 tablespoons marinade; toss gently. Notes: Red curry paste gives this marinated calamari a huge flavor boost. This dish is great hot off the grill or chilled. Shrimp can be substituted for the calamari, if you prefer. Makes 4 servings. Tips and helpful hints: Keeping Food Fresh: Lettuce And Celery: * Lettuce and celery will keep longer if you store them in the refrigerator in paper bags instead of cellophane ones. Do not remove the outside leaves of either until ready to use. * Lettuce won't rust as quickly if you place a paper towel or napkin in the storage container. * Line the bottom of the vegetable compartments with paper toweling. This absorbs the excess moisture and keeps all fruits and vegetables fresher for a longer period of time. Sprouting Onions: * To keep dry onions from sprouting and becoming soft, wrap individually in foil. They will stay firm for some time. *****Important notice from Donna J.
