Re: [CnD] Working with boiling water?
Hi, everybody. When stirring things in boiling water, in addition to using a long handle spoon, I would suggest wearing an oven mitt that has a long sleeve so that your wrist is protected also in case you bump the edge of the pot. Stir in slowly minimize the chance of splashes. I also see no reason that you would need to stir eggs while boiling. I use a cold water method for hard-boiled eggs. That means you don’t have to bring the eggs to room temperature first, or risk them cracking when you put them in the boiling water. I put the eggs in cold water covered with water, preferably an inch or so above the eggs. Put it on the stove and bring the water with the eggs in it to a boil. When it boils, turn off the heat and cover it. Set the timer for 15 minutes. When the 15 minutes are over, your eggs are cooked perfectly. Then you can drain and rinse them with cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Good luck!

Re: [CnD] Okay about the Pen Friend
The pen friend stickers will not stick to frozen food packages; too much moisture. You have to stick them to something else and then attach it to the frozen package somehow. Rubber bands do eventually deteriorate in the freezer, as they do also in sun or heat, but that’s what I found is the best thing to use. I use little tags that I cut into smaller pieces and punch holes in and stick the pen friend label to that tag that is semi plastic, suitable for brailling onto it as well. I get those from Maxi Aids. Tina Sent from my iPhone > On May 14, 2019, at 3:09 PM, Carol Ashland via Cookinginthedark > wrote: > > Do the Pen Friend labels stay on frozen things?

Re: [CnD] Okay about the Pen Friend
I have a somewhat different view of the cooking in the dark list. I would prefer that it mostly focuses on techniques and tools used by visually impaired cooks, rather than just straight recipes that don’t really comment on how someone does these things with visual impairment. For me, the pen friend is an indispensable tool in my cooking, so ideas and discussion about how to make it more useful is very pertinent for me. Just another viewpoint… Tina Sent from my iPhone > On May 13, 2019, at 6:20 PM, Jeanne Donovan via Cookinginthedark > wrote: > > I hate to be one of those people, but unless you are using the Pen Friend > to some whow record recipes, which doesn't seem possible, then can we get > back to recipes?

Re: [CnD] Labeling Medication: ScripTalk Station ; was freezing meat and labeling it:
Gail, I also use ScripTalk from Envision and really like it. It reads you all of the information on the printed label. But the pharmacy has to have the equipment to create the special label to put on the bottom. It's not a bar code, but something called RFID technology (radio frequency identification) and NFC (near-field communication) to store and transmit all of the information on a printed medication label. I haven't specifically checked recently, but the only "local" pharmacies that seemed to be able to provide the labels were very large stores, e.g. Walmart. My local CVs doesn't have it. But the mail-order pharmacies do; you just have to make the request that they put that label on all of your prescriptions. Sometimes they don't get it right at first, but a second requests usually does the trick. Just contact EnVision and they will set it up for you. All free. I also use bbraille tape labels as others have said.

The population is also aging, and when you combine the increased availability of new wonder drugs with more and more people who need them, in one sense that can be a prescription for real trouble. The more medications we take, the more opportunities we have to get confused and make potentially life-threatening mistakes. According to the AFB Access to Drug Labels Survey Report, the print impaired community is particularly at risk for at-home medication errors, such as swallowing the wrong pill, missing a refill date, or ingesting expired medications. Prescription labels contain vital information about our medications, including how much to take and when to take them, and yet they are among the most inaccessible of documents. Many individuals with visual impairments create and use their own braille labels, but if they bring home more than one prescription from the pharmacy, sighted help is required to create the labels. Since space is at a premium on those small medicine bottles, the information is usually abridged and incomplete. Nearly 90 percent of the visually impaired population does not use braille regularly and so those individuals must develop other strategies to distinguish their medications from one another. Some use rubber bands or other markers to help tell the bottles apart (one rubber band means blood pressure medicine and a stick-on raised dot means stomach medication). Others might store one prescription bottle on a lower medicine cabinet shelf and another on the top shelf. But what about those who are taking six, seven, even eight or more medications a day? How do you keep them straight in your head? Particularly if you are elderly and your memory isn't as snappy as it once was, it can be very difficult to remember how much of which medication to take, and when. If you don't believe this is a serious accessibility issue, just try to imagine a sighted individual telling his or her pharmacist, "No thank you. I don't need labels on my prescription bottles. I will remember the instructions precisely, and I'll be able to figure out which medicine is which by feeling the size and shape of the pills." Happily, technology has provided at least one solution to this serious problem. The ScripTalk Station from En-Vision America voices prescription label information at the press of a button. In this article we'll take an in-depth look at this useful device, and we'll also tell you how you can join En-Vision America's Pharmacy Freedom program and get a ScripTalk Station on permanent loan to read specially tagged prescriptions labeled by a participating pharmacy.

Re: [CnD] Freezing meat
Yes, some items present a challenge to label due to size or shape. I sometimes come across longer rubber bands and save them for this situation. Also, if I have items in a gallon zippered bag, I twist the corner with the zipper end and wrap the rubber band around that. If all else fails, I sometimes use freezer tape to tape the tag to the package. Freezer tape can be hard to find and masking tape doesn't stick as well in the freezer.

Re: [CnD] Freezing meat
We have a big, separate freezer, so this is definitely an issue for me. I use pen friend labels (record a label and play back with device) on almost all items in my freezer and also most in refrigerator and kkitchen cabinets/pantry. I get braillable labels from maxi aids; they are a kind of plastic, ~ 1 by 3 inches and have a hole punched in one corner. Instead of putting braille on them, I cut them in 3 pieces, punch holes in the 2 extras, and stick a Pen Friend label on each. Then I thread a medium rubber band through the hole and loop it through. I attach it to various items/packages and make a voice recorded label with the pen friend, which usually includes item, weight or number of pieces, date, and anything else that would be helpful. You could also write on the label with a permanent marker, especially if you don't cut the label, if you or anyone else can read it. You can also write Braille on the label, which I do sometimes for medicines or clothing items, which are upstairs and not convenient to use the pen friend. I find this system works quite well, with the one problem of the rubber deteriorating and breaking, and then the label falls off. That happens faster in the freezer or in direct sunlight, but will happen eventually due to age. I just put up with that particular problem. One warning for anyone starting to use pen friend: when you use up all of the labels in the starter pack, you need to be careful in buying more. The extra label packs are identified with a letter; The starter pack that comes with the device is pack A. When you buy more you must buy a different letter pack, because the digital identifier on the stickers are duplicates in the same letter pack. Since the device matches your voice recording with the specific sticker, a duplicate pack will mess you up big time! Here is the info on the labels from Maxi-aids: White Plastic Labeling Tags with Holes- 50-Pk Easily Identify Items in Your Home or Office SKU 209758 Our Price: $3.95 White Plastic Labeling Tags with Holes- 50-Pk - These white plastic tags are great for labeling household items.

It takes practice to get a fried egg to work in the microwave, but it can be done. I am going to the kitchen to make one now so I can describe it better. Choose a cooking dish about the same size as you want the egg to be when cooked. If your surface is too big the whites will run as far as possible and make a very thin egg, indeed. A small flat Corelle wear dessert dish works reasonably well. Butter it or spray it with vegetable spray. Break your egg into the dish. Pierce the egg with a fork, knife tip, or several times with a tooth pick. Add any spices you like, or leave it plain. Spray the top of the egg with vegetable spray to slow the cooking of the yolk slightly. Center your plate in the microwave and center your dish on the plate. I put my dish on a large dinner plate then covered the dinner plate with a soft plastic plate cover with a few air holes, that I use to keep things from splattering. If nothing else, cover with a microwave safe paper towel or paper plate. I turned the microwave on for 22 seconds. You might go as long as 30 seconds before stopping the microwave for the first time. If you hear it making considerable noise it may be cooking too fast and making ready to explode. Check your egg. It probably won't be ready, but you have allowed a little rest time by stopping the cooking. Turn the microwave on for 11 seconds. Check your egg again. Mine still had a soft spot around the yolk edge. Not ready yet? Give it a second 11 second burst. Mine was ready at this point. The yolk was more firm than I usually like to eat it, but it did taste like a fried egg. Now when you do get that messy exploding egg, it isn't the end of the world. You just have a mess to clean up inside your microwave oven. I covered my eggs too tightly one day with a glass Pyrex lid and the lid flew off the dish, hit the oven door and opened it enough to stop the oven. So yes, it really is a slight explosion. A loose cover will probably not cause that reaction, but can. I have learned not to use tight fitting lids without air vents in the microwave for any reason. If you do use a Pyrex type lid, be sure to offset it so steam can escape easily.

And you don't have to turn it. The time would be probably 45 seconds. You coat a microwave safe container (I use pyrex or corningware with non-stick spray or a little butter, break the egg into the bowl and use the toothpick to puncture the yolk, cover the bowl and cook the egg for 30 seconds and see if the yolk is done enough and if it needs more time, go by 15 second increments until it is the way I want it.
