Jude, do you know how to copy and paste? You can't attach files here, so you need to highlight, then copy a block of text from your document, then paste it in the message box here.

Okay... I know how to copy...highlighted what I wanted to paste but then after I click on paste I don't know what to do. GRRRR. I feel so inept....and old and ignorant!

Good - copying is the first step.

Now, put your mouse cursor in the message box here, as you would normally when you start to post something.

Then, at the top of your browser menu bar, click on "Edit" which will open a menu of options.

Click on the option "Paste" -- your copied text should appear here.

Test it here right now.

Recipe from "Once Upon a Plate"

Pork Roasted the Way the Tuscans Do
This is a wonderful and easy technique for pork roasted inside a baguette with wonderful fresh herbs and of course garlic and olive oil! I'm sure this will become a favorite of yours too - it's great to bring on a picnic lunch!
2 teaspoons fresh chopped sage
2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fennel pollen*
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed
1 loaf crusty baguette
3-4 T. Dijon mustard (optional)

On a work surface, mince the sage, rosemary, pepper, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and fennel pollen together.
Heat a frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cook the pork, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.

If you like, at this point, you can smear the seared pork with the Dijon mustard before rolling in the herbs. (This step adds a bit of moisture to the meat, which I prefeer).Roll the pork in the herb mixture and set aside. Cut the baguette in half the long way and scoop out the soft insides. Brush the inside of the baguette with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Place the pork on the inside of the baguette so that the pork is completely enclosed. Trim off the excess ends of the bread. Tie the baguette, at 1-to 2-inch intervals, with kitchen string.
Preheat an oven to 375�F. Place the pork on a baking sheet and roast until done, 155�F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let rest 10 minutes. Remove the strings and cut into slices. Serve.
Serves 4

Gina, this is the recipe I wanted to move to the "Mustard" thread. I am delighted, at this point. Now we'll see if I can post it on "Mustard".

Thank you so much. Now I'll copy and paste these instructions in case I forget! LOL

Yay Jude!

Good Gina and good job Jude! Now we look forward to you sharing your years of recipe collecting.

Cathy

Gina and Pam, you have no idea what an accomplishment this was for me! Thanks for your encouragement.Now I am going to try to move a picture. Wish me luck!

Well, the picture didn't work. I had a bunch of pictures on my computer that were taken last year on a trip to Europe, but apparently I needed to do something else. I am persistent though and I'll keep trying.

Thanks, jude

Jude their is a whole protocol to moving pics. It's not hard but it's not just cut and paste like you do with text.

If you are interested we can help you.

Chase, I don't know....you all are so good to try to help and fortunately you realize I have to have step 1..., step 2 etc. I think I waited 'til I was too old to start trying to use a computer. I'm willing to give it a try but I don't want to be a bother.

Thanks, jude

Jude, congratulations on posting that recipe! I had forgotten about it, I will make it again soon-it really is good.

I can't help with moving the pictures, I can post pictures from Photobucket but that's about all- I am computer challenged too!

But..... you have come to the right place. This forum is very generous with their knowledge and time.

I can't wait to see your pictures of Europe.

Di

Jude, congrats. I have a lady at work and a manager who are both in their mid 50s and neither of them have gotten the hang of copying and pasting yet. I've tried to teach them both for 2 years, but they still don't get it! To top it off, the lady just got an apple computer that doesn't have a right click button on the mouse... that doesn't help! Exciting to get the hang of something new, huh? :o)

Bobby, copying and pasting is very easy on a Mac. You just select what you want to copy, press Command-C, then insert the cursor where you want to paste to, and press Command-V. That's it.

Bobby, you are so encouraging, but I couldn't learn to do new things without all of you who are so helpful. I love those Aha moments when something works.

Thanks, jude

Congratulations Jude.

And thanks for posting Mary's recipe. Her blog is one of my favourites.

Ann

cc, my computer has Vista and that's how I have to copy and paste too.

Congratulations, Jude, and thanks for the recipe!

Now, go open a photobucket account and we'll tell you how to post pictures!

Annie

Annie

Annie, on a Mac you don't have to do it that way. You can choose "copy" and then "paste" from a drop-down menu, but that seems more trouble than just using the command key.

Here I go showing my ignorance, again...Annie I don't know how to open a photobucket account...as a matter of fact I don't even know what it is. And...if it matters I have a Dell computer. I do step 1, step 2 etc. rather well.-)

jude

You just select what you want to copy, press Command-C, then insert the cursor where you want to paste to, and press Command-V. That's it.

Thanks, CC I have a Mac and had never done the command key thing --- I just tried it and I like it!

Oh good, dlynn, glad to be of help. It is much simpler.

Okay, folks, I googled Photobucket and there were several sites. Photobucket.com had a bunch of stuff. Satisfaction.com had a Photobucket log in also and says it's an official photobucket Partner site. There were others as well. Is there a preference and is privacy an issue?

jude

I don't know, jude, I just log in to photobucket.com. I have a sign in and password there and when I sign in, my pictures come up. Well, I now have so many there that they are divided into albums, which I finally figured out how to do, LOL.

I haven't figured out how to make entire albums public, though...

Annie

Jude, just use the basic site: photobucket.com

1. At the very top on the blue bar....over to the right, there's small text that says "sign up". Click that.

2. Fill in the information on the screen that comes up. Your username can be anything you want, but just make sure to write it down or make it something you'll remember (don't ask why I mention this, OK?).

3. Do your darndest to figure out what those little code words say and type them in. Don't worry, if you get it wrong, you'll get another chance.

4. Click the 'sign me up' button below the stuff you just put in.

5. Next page tries to get you to sign up for added features and PAY for them. NO NEED. Tiny print says 'no thanks'. Click that.

6. OK! Now you're 'in'. There's a big green bar to the right that says 'Upload images and videos. Click it.

7. You will get another window that pops up and you can go look for the place on YOUR computer where you have photos stored. Choose the one(s) you want to post. If you hold down the CTRL key and click on more than one picture file, it will select them as you choose.

8. When you have chosen what you want, click the OPEN button at the bottom of that window.

9. The extra window will go away and you'll see the files being loaded on the Photobucket site (little green bar thingy). When it's done, you'll be able to see your photo(s).

10. Double click on one and it will bring it up larger and there will be some options to the left:
    Email & IM
    Direct Link
    HTML code
    Image code

11. See all the garbeldy gook to the right of them??
    Copy all of that from the box to the right of HTML code.

12. Now! The fun part!

Paste all the 'code' into your message here. It'll look strange, but when you preview your message, the photo will be there instead of the code. Like magic!

Here's mine (friend's cutie patootie grandbaby):

It should start with a character like this Make sure you get it all or it won't work.

OK, Your turn!!!

Deanna

Well shoot, Deanna! I had it all ready to copy the gobbledy gook and lost everything. How do I get back to where I was?

jude

HTML

Well darn, I thought I had it 'titled'. This is the first picture I made when we landed in Germany and, seeing it. I immediately thought of Annie. We thought it was rhutabaga but later decided it was sugar beets. The stack of beets was at least 20 feet long and 8-10 feet high, just stacked along the road. I learned later that they are hauled on trucks to the refinery.
It was so tatally unlike anything we had ever seen, we just kept on talking about that pile of rhutabaga.

jude

Jude, you da' bomb!! There's no stopping you now.

Deanna, You couldn't have picked a cuter picture to demo!

Cathy

I'm still learning, but I'm getting there.

At a B&B in Germany. I love those European breakfasts!

jude

The previous picture was taken at our farewell dinner on the Rhine River Cruise. I am on the left with my traveling buddies. We traveled in Germany for a week before we joined the others for the cruise.

I want to thank all of you who helped me get where I am, which is still a long way from where I want to be. Honestly I was mentally exhausted. How sad is that!!!!

jude

Thanks to Gina and Deanna for your help in getting me started on moving recipes and Photobucket and the others for your encouragement. I'm not where I want to go but a long way from where I was.

Thanks, jude

Jude, I'm at work and can't see any of your pictures, but hooray for you!

Now I'm going to go home tonight and check them out.

Annie

Those are wonderful, Jude! Your pics of breakfast in Germany brought back memories... I was there 15 years ago, when my brother was stationed there with the army!

You go, girl!!

You've got it now!! :-)
Good to "meet" you.

Deanna

Oh Deanna, that is one cute baby, so sweet and chubby!

Jude, it's nice to finally meet you. I agree, I think that big pile is sugar beets, I see them stacked up here and getting moved with tractors and front end loaders. Hunters bought them by the pick up truck load for deer bait until it became illegal to bait the deer. Now I see them only for sugar refineries. We grow a LOT of sugar beets here in Michigan.

That breakfast looks like something right up my alley, a ham and cheese sandwich and coffee!

Any why does your travelling companion remind me of Sean Connery, but with hair? He doesn't look veyr happy, though.

Annie

That is one VERY cute baby, a very thoughtful look, too. I was so wrapped up in what I was trying to do that I didn't comment.

Annie, Sam does look a good bit like Sean Connery but wasn't thrilled with all the picture taking that was going on, I think. Basically he's a happy, fun-loving person to travel with. Ann is my best friend and we've known Sam for years and traveled together numerous times. Neither of our husbands like to travel but don't mind if we do, so it works well.

You're on the countdown with the wedding now and I know it will be beautiful and I'd say fun, too. You've put in a lot of hard work and I can't wait to see the pictures and hear all about it.

jude

Way to go Jude!! Great pics and it's so cool to "meet" you. The food looks great as do your travel pals. Thanks for sharing!

Deanna, that baby pic is priceless!

David

Congrats, Jude, on learning something new. Wish we could have met up on your trip to Germany. Living over here, I don't get many opportunities to meet any of my "invisible" friends. If you ever get back over here, please let me know you are coming and we can meet up for coffee.
Lisa

Thanks Lisa. If I should get back over there I will for sure let you know. That would be so cool, and could we have one of those good pastries with that coffee?
