Alrighty then!

The first batch of blood orange marmalade is done. As first taste, it's more like a grapefruit flavor, but as soon as I hit the actual peel, it was definitely orange.

Tomorrow, I need to do the strawberries.

I never had those potato cakes at Arby. The Arby near me has crispy fried fish that I like, eat with honey mustard, and those curly fries. I just checked and they do have those potato cakes. I am supposed Not to eat potatoes because of my arthritis, but potatoes are one of my favorites, so I just ignore it. Long time ago I went to Baltimore with colleagues to a Beer Brewery restaurant, they had the best garlic potato wedges. Maybe 2 or 3 years later I went there again. No more garlic potato wedges!
I FINALLY found my colleague's husband's recipe, it is sweet, I always used it with cabbage and I add hot peppers in it, delicious. --He is Jewish and she is half Chinese.

Tom's pickled cabbage.
Container:
1 empty pickle jar
Pickling liquid:
½ cup white or rice vinegar
½ cup water
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetables:
About 3 cups of:
Sliced cabbage
Chilies
Red onion/shallots
Green bean, etc.
Heat vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve, then let cool.
Put vegetables in the empty jar, then cover with the pickling liquid.
Refrigerate overnight, and serve cold.

I had a very frustrating time: lost my credit card with a picture of a poodle. First thought I used it at LIDL near Tyson's. Went there and one of the workers told me that they shred all credit cards that were left if no one claims it for a week. So I thought it was safe to call for a reissue of the card. But then I remembered that I tried to use it at Harris Teeter and it was rejected, AFTER that date. It was rejected because I did not pay my bill that month! I usually pay for both credit cards, but apparently I did not pay for one of them. It was a mess. So I got a new card with a new number. Then I did not receive my bill from Costco, due on March 9. Lots of problems. Went to Costco, no one knew HOW to help me. Went home, try to call, had this questions from an electronic answering service. Did not understand when I answered I want to speak with the manager.--Press this and press that---BUT finally I press 00 because of frustration. Found out by pressing 00 I got to speak with a person! So I found out how much I owe and could pay my bill. I think the OLD Fashion Way is way better than this computer thingy----and enable people scamming trying to get your money. I got taken the first time and I paid and "reactivate" a non existing insurance from my office. They (the scammers) answered and always said they are coming to fix the whatever was broken but never came---. I also learn, when you go to a store, and somebody suggested that they have a friend who could do the job for a cheaper price. Say thank you but NOT use that 'friend'. I guess I am a gullible old woman!
