Gut Sales Report for the week: This week felt really slow. I was hoping to at least break $500, which I did. I am glad to at least do that in these slow times. Retrospekt was a bonus here. I am sending in 15 cameras. Thanks again to the person on the forum that alerted us to this. I think I still have about 15 more that didn’t qualify, but some may in the future.

Challenge of the week: I ordered 2 extra rail bars for for clothing racks. This will allow me to have a total of three double clothing racks that are 5 feet each. That is a total of 30 feet of clothing rack space! That is all the clothing I want. So, this week the challenge is to get all my clothes on the new rack space and order every bag by lot #. I will be very organized on my hanging clothes then.

Scavenge of the week: Vintage Florsheim shoes new in the box. Got these at a church thrift store. This thrift store is a real nice store without the high prices. The main guy that works there recognized me when I came in the door and alerted me to the new shoes that just came in. There were actually two pair and I got both for $6 each. It is nice to get some help along the way!

I went to buy a very nice Womens 1960’s (I think) beautiful Pendleton. This lady at the says to me just before checkout, “You know that is a womens coat, are you sure you want to buy it?”. I said yes. Then she asked me 2 more times. I just kept saying yes… until checkout. They thought it was awesome also and wanted $50. At that point I said no.

I think Wonder Lister or Sixbit may work also. With Wonder Lister, once you sign up and get setup, all of the pictures reside on your local hard drive. The entire listing is retained in the database. So you should be able to end them and then relist. With 2500 listings, it would be $30 a month.

almasty,

Those are some good points. I think I will hold out for a good price for this.

I am not sure why they were selling this at an estate sale, maybe it was a mistake. Of course I got it for almost nothing because the people running the sale didn’t see any value in it. Good for me.

MyCottage,

I don’t really buy bags either. After I wrote that above, I thought the same. Using ebay’s authentication program would probably be better.

I would like one of these two options to do shoes also.

Jay,

Yes, I wish they were from the 1970’s. The rides that no longer exist\opeining of new rides were what helped us to narrow down the timeframe of the pictures.

almasty,

Just the kind of information that I was looking for! I knew I could get information like this from the forum!

You make some really good points that I will have to do.

Thanks again.

stalix,

I sent an email to you on the 14th, but I haven’t heard back from you. Did you get me email? Do you need me to send it again?

I was wondering if Entrupy’s AI-based program would work for us. Not really.

It only appears to authenticate handbags right now. Also, it is a $299 start up fee (you don’t own the hardware) and then you have a monthly fee. Like, $99 to have 5 items autenticated. That’s $20 an item. For $399\month, you get 20 items, then it is only $13.33 a month.

I guess if you sold a lot of handbags this might be good. I avoid handbags right now because it is hard to authenticate.

I run across more shoes, I wish they would do those also.

To be clear, what is typed above is the recipe. My wife doubled what is written above (except the meat). So, for the noodles, she doubled it and used 8 Eggs, 16 oz Cream Cheese, etc.

Ryanne,

There is a link to the video below, but no link to the recipe. So here is the recipe for the lasagna:

KETO LASAGNA RECIPE
*I doubled the recipe to make sure I had enough to make a full 8X10 pan. The lasagna I made had 2 layers, but you could do 3 layers if you prefer. I had about 7 “noodles” and about 2 cups of sauce left over, which I froze for another time. My family isn’t fond of Italian Sausage, so I just used 2 pounds of ground beef.

Link to video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mt-ZsyfHK8M

INGREDIENTS
Meat Sauce:
•1 lb 80/20 Ground Beef
•1 lb Mild Italian Sausage
•1 small Onion (chopped)
•3-4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
•28oz Can of Crushed Tomatoes (make sure there’s no added sugar)
•2 beef bouillon cubes

Noodles:
•4 Eggs
•8 oz Cream Cheese (Full Fat)
•1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese (Full Fat)
•2 1/2 Cups – Mozzarella Cheese (Full Fat)
•1 tsp – Italian Seasoning
•1 tsp – Garlic Powder
•1 tsp – Onion Powder

Cheese Filling:
•1/2 Cup – Cottage Cheese (Full Fat) mixed with 1 egg (or 1/2 Cup Full Fat Ricotta Cheese if preferred)
•1 1/2 Cup Mozzarella Cheese (Full Fat)
•1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese (Full Fat)

DIRECTIONS
Meat Sauce:
•Brown ground beef and sausage over medium high heat and drain excess fat.
•Add onion and garlic and saute’ 2-3 minutes.
•Add tomatoes, beef bouillon, and a little water (if necessary).
•Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and let simmer for 1-2 hours (I cooked on high pressure in my Instant Pot for 15 minutes instead of hours on the stovetop)

Noodles:
•In a large bowl combine eggs, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder.
•Mix with a hand mixer 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
•Fold in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
•Spread out into an even layer onto a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
•Bake in a preheated 375º oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
•Let thoroughly cool for 20 minutes.
•Using a pizza cutter cut the noodles in half and then into 1.5-2″ thick strips.

Build the Lasagna:
•Layer sauce, noodles, and cheeses in an 8×10 casserole dish.
•Bake in a preheated 375º oven uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until bubbly.
•Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese and bake another 15-20 or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
•Let rest 15 minutes before serving.

debitendcredits,

I use Waze and it can do multiple locations, but I am not sure how many it can do at one time.

It is good because if you need to go to a credit union for money (if you are in the co-op, most dont charge a fee) you can just type “credit union” and it will show the closet credit union to use and then you can tap it to get directions.

Ryanne,

I will get the recipe from my wife and send it to you.

And the verdict on the lasagna is …. Awesome!

It is a long process because you (well, my wife) have to make the noodles from scratch. That is part of the reason why we ate so late.

The consistency was actually better than regular lasagna. Regular lasagna is usually runny. This is more firm and has a little bit of a rubbery consistency. The taste was great, just about the same.

Best Keto meal I have had yet, but I only started this past Friday.
