Project Computer Screen on TV

By Judy

A computer being projected onto a TV screen.My only splurge is yoga class. At first, teachers came over and corrected my alignment often. It was worth the price. Five years later, not so much. I read about yoga classes on the computer, but the screen is small. I knew there had to be a way to hook up the computer to the TV screen. I looked it up on YouTube and they said an HDMI cable would work. One end goes on the port on the TV and the other end goes on the port on the computer.

By 15mhhm15

Toddler Birthday Sash - finished sash with 4 hearts strung on purple ribbonMy little cousin's 4th birthday is this week. She has a crown her mom bought her, but she wanted a sash to go with her crown. Since it was last minute, I used some items I had at home to create her this quick and easy little sash she can wear to school with her crown.

Pan Steamed Lemon Butter Fish

By attosa

cooked Fish, lemon and broccoli on platterThis is a fantastic and easy-to-put-together dish that ensures your fish will be moist and flavourful. I like leaving the skin on my lemons when I eat them cooked (Mediterranean style) but if you'd like yours toned down a bit, simply remove the skin from the slices before putting them in the pan. I used sole fish here but you can use any fish you like.
