This is so cool. Right here is a butter hack from real simple magazine. Thats a great shot dave thank you so much. What they say to do a lot of people have to use smaller chunks of butter so maybe its like youre going to serve it for example as a little like pats of butter you could use what they have here is the egg use a egg slicer. The other way is to chop a butter into small pieces like if are you making pie dough or dotting it on vegetables. You can slice it one way, turn the butter and slice it the other way so its even smaller squares that is super cool. The other thing to make cold Butter Spreadable for toast, sliver off pieces with like a vegetable peeler. It still wont spread though. T should say. Heres a couple hacks as well for your house. Cleaning your dishwasher which i rarely do it. Leave a bowl filled with white vinegar on the top rack and run it on the hottest possible cycle with no other dishes. Will the vinegar come out if its sitting up like that . I dont know it just says leave a bowl of vinegar on the this one says the hottest possible. To clean a coffee grinder use uncooked white rice and grind it up and clean it with baking soda after. Leather furniture use shoe polish. Grease stains on the walls you ever get these . Yes because i have kids. Heres what they say cover it with shake after a few chalk, after a few minutes wipe i its clean. No way my son throws stuff to see if it will stick to the ceiling hes not supposed to so i have all of these stains on the ceiling so i will try it with that. Last thing four alka seltzer tablets and leave it in there for a few minutes then run it through. The other thing i have heard is put them in a microwave.

First up this morning, a lot of people are going to make ham for christmas dinner. A way to use the left over ham and take it up a notch to make something that will wow your family the next day. Chef kate is back from the Jones Dairy Farm with a ham and cheese waffle strada. I think people are always looking for something fun to do. They have thanksgiving left over turkey, but a lot of people for christmas will do ham. This is that great recipe for the left over ham. If you are going to have people over and having over night guests this is better if you let it sit, let the eggs soak in and bake it the next morning. Thats the best. Have something in your refrigerator that you pop it in the oven the next morning its stress free. I love that. Is this easy also . Totally easy . The star ingredient is the Jones Dairy Farm ham. All of the hams we have different sizes. They come in all different sizes large ham to feed a lot of people or if there is only two or four of you you can buy one of the smaller hams. You got your papa ham, momma ham and baby ham. We also have the ham steak that you only have maybe one or just cooking a small meal for one or two people. Single slice there. Tiffanys favorite the canadian bacon. This is always in my refrigerator at all times. You can use that for this recipe too. I had a called i love ham steak all of my friends know it i would sing it every morning at brunch. Really . Uhhuh. I bet it never got old. It did not they still to this day know that song. You can sing that while youre making this. Christmas night. Okay. So as we know with the Jones Dairy Farm ham certified gluten for 100 years. Never any liquid smoke used. Its smoked in the jones smoke house using only real hard wood hickory chips. You can really taste the difference when have you this ham. As you know i love my ham. This is going to be the finished product over here. We start with a 9 by 13 pan make sure to spray it really well. Six waffles in the bottom. There is a recipe attached to the recipe for the waffles. If you dont have a waffle maker just go buy frozen. Try to get the buttermilk so they are thicker and toast them before you put them in here. We have the waffles i have six in the bottom going to top with another six. We is six eggs. Oh, look at that. I never have seep that before. Seen that before. Do it again just hold on. Look at that. I never have seen anybody use a bowl its easier to do it that way. We have two cups of milk. You just changed the way everyone whisks eggs forever. Do it again. [laughter] youre going t me a mess. Then were going to add in a little nutmeg and a little cinnamon and some vanilla. Okay. Then just a little bit of salt and pepper. There we go again. Thats great. Thats awesome. You can use whatever, there is a little breeze cheese you want in this recipe im using swiss. If you want to do it with cheddar that would work really well too. Were going to layer first with the ham. These are nice slices if you have any kind of left overs they dont have to be perfectly oval or round like this whatever you have left over. Perfect for the waffle size. Yes. Very very well for this. Which one was that do you know was that the dainty or the family . This one was the family. Cheese on top. This really is soasy. It really is. I love it. Um. Yum. Thats going to f feed a lotf people because its dense. You can serve it with fruit. Got some blueberries i love blueberries. Then were going to layer the waffles on the top. That goes on the very top. Oh. You want it its kind of like a play on you have that french toast egg bake and you dip it and then you cook it. Im glad you brought jam in front. I was going to say a Monty Christo is so good with strawberry and raspberry jam. I have red and black raspberry preserved. This just gets poured over the top. Okay. Look at that. So you are really getting it in there too. If you make it the day before you allow all of that egg to soak into the waffle. Exactly. Christo the over day i never knew what that was. Usually Monty Christo is ham and turkey so if you have left over turkey put that in there. We have other Jones Dairy Farm products. They make great sausage, we already showed the ham and canadian bacon, but a lot of. Er great products youanfit yo his ishe f noise. Thats fun for t kids. H, my g.

One of the goals granville bit ten years from now people will be working in granville and wanting to invest and live in granville. We see a renaissance coming. One thing we really noticed people are now calling it granville. It was the Northwest Side of milwaukee. Were hearing that word out there in the press. People are talking. So, name recognition. Weve made a bit of a change thats where we feel like were looking towards the next ten called granville 2030. Thats a big thing coming in terms of investments and Development Opportunities. Even though it is busy and you have all of this stuff and People Living and working there and businesses. You also have this opportunity for investment and development. We have a huge opportunity.

My goal was to finally get in shape. Not to be focusing on my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. So i made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. Target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75 and even 90 clearance in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. 3a asabt humira,ogic by dermatologists. Clearer sk is possible. Decorations looks good even on a show string budget.
