Put your finger in the cup where you want the liquid to stop. You will know when you hit that spot. At 07:00 PM 5/30/2020, you wrote: Ah thank you.. Yes, I am leraning a lot.

I hope you can work with a teacher to help you learn some of these things after the quarantine is lifted. It sounds like people around you are trying to teach you what they can. When you have questions about how to do something, you can ask, and people will tell you what they do, if they can describe it in words.

It would also be helpful to know if you are new to blindness, and your age range, and what sorts of things you want to cook for yourself. Most of us here either like to collect recipes or do cooking in our own homes. We collect recipes that interest us whether we can cook them now or at a later date. If you are a beginner cook with truly no experience, you need a teacher to come teach you basic safety techniques and get you started. >> >> Pamela Fairchild >> >> >> -Original Message- >> From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Leigh via Cookinginthedark >> Sent: Saturday, May 30, 2020 12:36 PM >> To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org >> Cc: Leigh >> Subject: Re: [CnD] microwave eggs >> >>Hi there Pamela. >> >> I am interested in cooking. however, I am in a place where they cook meals.

[CnD] Sunny Vegetable Salad
I'm not sure, I might have gotten this recipe from this list some years ago. It's so popular, I thought I would bring it out again. We go to gatherings now and then and my wife makes this sometimes to bring along. Every time she does none of it is left, people will take home any left overs. Thought someone would like to try it. Sunny Vegetable Salad 12-16 Servings Prep: 15 min. + chilling Ingredients 5 cups fresh broccoli florets 5 cups fresh cauliflowerets 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese 2/3 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup raisins 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled 1/4 cup sunflower kernels Directions In a large salad bowl, toss the broccoli, cauliflower, cheese, onion and raisins. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Sprinkle with bacon and sunflower seeds. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] cooking bacon
Using a microwave. Put bacon on a paper plate, cover with paper towel. You have to experiment with cooking time because all microwaves are different. Start with one or two pieces for two minutes and go from there. Once you find the time you like it will never change. Take the bacon off the paper plate and toss the plate with the grease and the paper towel in the trash. It can't get any easier that that.

Re: [CnD] accessible microwaves
I have a Whirlpool microwave. All I did was call Whirlpool up after I bought it and told them I needed a Braille overlay. I gave them the model number and they sent me a sheet of Braille that fit over all the buttons. So all the buttons are now identified. I understand they will do this for all the different kinds of machines they make. At 06:56 PM 11/22/2016, you wrote: You could always put adhesive dots on the various functions of the touch pad. They could vary from size and shape for better identification. Dale should have lots of types and sizes of these.

I know about the talking one that's on blind mice, but if I don't have to spend almost 300 or more for a microwave that would be great. I'll save that as last resort.
