I'm glad you liked it. My son't practically grew up on that. They had so many evening activities so we had to have a quick dinner. I would add ground beef and corn one night and maybe sausage and peas another night. It was easy and filling for two teenage boys. Their dad travelled a lot for work so it would feed the three of us.
Okie dokie... Similar to Hamburger Helper, "Beef-A-Roni" is basically kind of a pre-packaged pasta that busy housewives can just reheat and serve without too much time or effort. In its case, it's basically a beefy red-sauced pasta in a can. "Rice-a-Roni" on the other hand is kind of more like Hamburger Helper, in that it's a boxed dinner helper using rice, pre-packaged dry ingredients & spices, and to which you can add other fresh ingredients like meat, or vegetables, etc. Or, you can just serve it as-is for some kind of flavorful spicy rice dish. Anyway, it uses rice rather than pasta [as with hamburger helper], Hence "Rice"-A-Roni. The name of which basically comes from "macaroni" [ a particular type of pasta, I'm sure you're familiar with, as is everyone]. Anyway, basically it's just something similar to making boxed pasta [macaroni], except using rice instead. 'Cause folks love rice, too... ;)
I make rice a roni meatballs in gravy. Mix the uncooked rice a roni with raw ground beef and form small meatballs. Sauté meatballs till browned on outside and then mix spice bag with water and then simmer till meatballs are cooked. For more gravy just add a pkg of instant beef gravy with water. 15:13 👍🏻🧓🏻🇺🇸Texas
The corn muffins brand is Marie Calenders....which is a chain restaurant which specializes in pies. Every Thanksgiving day we would get our pumpkin pies from Marie Calenders I love, love. Love Rice r Roni....grew up with it😊
Most canned creamed corn is creamed “style” corn meaning it does not contain any cream/dairy. It is easy to make using fresh, frozen or canned corn. For example using canned - take half of the corn and place in bender or food processor with enough water to blend but still chunky. Add the two together in a saucepan to heat and thicken. The natural starch from the corn will make it creamy. You can add minced onion, garlic, jalapenos, whatever to make it your own. Enjoyed the video, thank you. The jalapenos would be good in the corn casserole.
My wife did one of those DNA test things, and it came back that she has Sweden ancestors. She is 20% Swedish. That made her happy since she is big fans of you both.
I love Rice a Roni, grew up on it and make it still today. Pasta Roni is also good. And it's Marie Callenders. Never had the cornbread mix but the frozen dinners are decently tasty.
Marie Callender’s corn bread is my personal favorite. I grew up going to Marie Callender’s restaurant in Southern California and I’d always order their ham stack sandwiche with a side of their corn bread. I also love rice a Roni!
I've been eating Rice a Roni for 60 years! It's a take off of a Levanite rice pilaf dish, rizz bi-sha riyya. It is rice and noodles mixed with a dry chicken soup mix. It is a good side dish with roasted or fried chicken. Enjoy Carol & Recky 😊
I use the Spanish Rice-a-Roni. I add extras to the mix after the water comes to a boil. I brown a half pound of ground beef (drain if necessary) and also add a can of Rotel (mild). Cook covered for 20-25 minutes. Fluff with a fork after cooking time. Top with your favorite grated cheese. It's wonderful with cornbread.
I use Rotel instead of canned tomatoes in the Spanish rice a roni too...I use it in my stuffed pepper soup and use Spicy V8 juice instead of plain tomato juice or broth.
With both Rice-A-Roni and Pasta Roni, you can add vegetables and meat to it as you are making it. I have put ground sausage, broccoli and mushrooms in this for instance.
When raising our children we had to improvise on tough weeks. 6 pks Ramen bring water to boil add 2lbs mixed frozen veggies.. then add Ramen once the veggies are almost done.. Drain and rinse. Meantime.. fry how ever much hamburger you have ..2 lbs is good.. With chopped up onion.. Drain.. mix the season packets in the pasta once you've rinsed the pasta then fold meat in to it when it's done. We still to this day will make this as we loved it.
I was out of creamed corn so I found a “recipe” for making it. 1 can of corn mixed with 1/3 of the juice from the can and 1 tablespoon of flour. Pulse it in a food processor or blender a few times until you have some kernels left and some that are puréed. That equals out to one can of creamed corn. Then you can add it into your cornbread mix to make your corn casserole.
If you'd go shopping in one of our grocery stores you'd go crazy. We have so many choices. I am anxious for you to try out some of your recipes from your big cook book.
Yummy 'comfort' food. 😊 Marie Calender is a restaurant chain, known for their pies. Wasn't aware they'd gone into packaged foods. Haven't had any of the Rice-A-Roni products in decades (seems like they've been around for forever, adding new flavors). The US is big on packaged items from which you can create either a side or use it in a one-pot recipe, personalizing it to what you have on hand and your palate. Almost impossible to go wrong.
It's rice & vermicelli(tiny pasta that looks like thin chopped angel hair pasta) & amazing flavor packet. I love the fried rice flavor. There are many different flavors & I rarely add extra things into it but I'm sure it's probably meant to have added items into it. I HOPE THE FOLLOWERS send you many flavors & hopefully a few of the fried rice flavored one which use to have Almond slivers in it but for some reason they stopped putting the Almonds in it. So if I have chopped up Almonds I will add it in for that old taste. That must have been Maria Calendar's cornbread mix. I love MARTHA STEWART & she's been on TV forever & had many different tv shows & she's an amazing self made woman & entrepreneur & multi-millionaire. Check out her one of her show she did with Snoop Dogg called "Pot Luck" which is a funny cooking show. We've all learned alot from Martha she knows how to do everything or she has an expert on to teach her how to do it. She's in her 70's & was just on the cover Sport's Illustrated magazine in a bathing suit last year. 😂❤🥦🍗🫛🍚🍝🧈
Broccoli and cheddar rice a roni is my favorite. Pair it with some shake and bake pork chops or chicken. Also you can add shredded cheese to the pack of shake and bake before coating to make it tastier. This goes good with corn bread or corn casserole too.
Have you ever tried chicken and dumplings? I would love to see you react to Cowboy Kent Rollins making it. It’s old fashioned chicken and dumplings from about 5 years ago. He shows you how to do it and he’s very entertaining. He was once, maybe still is, a chuckwagon cook for ranches during cattle round up. He cooks mostly outside and uses a Dutch oven a lot but his recipes can be cooked with a regular stove as well. I crack up when he does a little dance after he tastes the finished meal. He’s well worth the effort of watching, I hope that you decide to do so soon. I really enjoy your channel and your fur babies. You often get me through really tough days. Please take care, with utmost respect from West Virginia, USA.🇺🇸
I think Carol would like him, he uses a lot of hot peppers and spices. Of course, the recipes can be made without them. Don’t want to make Recky go up in flames lol
I can still remember the commercial jingle for Rice A Roni from my childhood. 🎶 Rice… a Roni… the San Francisco treat! 😅 Vermicelli is a type of pasta, so the “Roni” means macaroni. And Marie Callender’s is a famous restaurant in California. You had California represented in your meal! 😂
The cornbread brand is Marie Callenders. There are Marie Callender's restaurants around the US, but I believe some of them closed down. Not sure how many are still around.
Rice a Roni was my favorite rice dish growing up. Still like it today, but I make home made fried rice more these days. Thank you for the video. Nice to see the cat also. My cat who just turned 19 is laying on my computer table. Take care
If you make rice a roni and are going to add things to it, be sure to add more liquid..start w/half cup .. I make rice a roni with chicken or beef broth instead of water. Glad you like it.
@@reckyNcarol That was their big hook back in the day. You get the jingle stuck in your head and it makes you remember to buy some, lol. Barely have any of those commercials anymore.
@@reckyNcarol The old commercials are on You Tube, you should watch them so you can sing along the next time you make it...... There are certain commercials that those of us of a certain age just can't help but remember when we eat certain foods, Rice A Roni and Shake and Bake are 2 that you've had so far. I have to laugh every time you sing Betty Crocker to the tune of Davy Crockett, I'm wondering how you combined the 2, but hey, it works!
Looks awesome I like the beef and the Spanish rice a roni.Also depending on the meal you should try either greasing the cornbread pan down with bacon grease and getting it hot before adding the cornbread mix( you can add the cooked bacon to the mix) or try adding a 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese and a finely diced jalapeño to the cornbread mix. Both are next level cornbread for sure!
Yeah those corn muffins are Marie Callender's. I recognize the font. I bet you could make some AWESOME corn bread pancakes with it. Would taste great!!!
Looks delicious y'all did so good! Cream of chicken- in sauce pan over medium heat melt 3 tablespoons butter, add 3 tablespoons flour mix till smooth. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock/broth & 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, pepper and salt. Simmer 2-3 minutes until thickened. PS. If you melt a 1 tablespoon butter in small pan until foaming add 8 ounces mushrooms for 5-7mins, then add to the above you have cream of mushroom. Both store in fridge up to 3 days fine. Can thin them down add water/stock or milk to thin a little add cooked chicken bits and you have soup. Rice and macaroni= rice a roni
I keep somethings in my pantry for times when I have not been to the store yet or I am really in a hurry. I take a 9 x 13" pan, coat it so it will not stick. Dump in chili or Laredo beans, cover the beans with shredded cheese, if I have some sliced tomatoes and then the raw Marie Calendar's cornbread mix and bake until the corn bread is done. good in the winter, warm and very filling
I use coconut oil in place of all other oils when baking.. Real butter occasionally but coconut oil that isn't organic doesn't have that coconut taste so it works great
There’s a lot of blogs that do recipe hacks for restaurant food or canned things that taste like from the original source but might not have tin taste for canned things (for those picky to it) I’d recommend putting a restaurant foods recipe hack request call out on your Patreon or in comments so you can try things you cant get- restaurants, frozen meals, etc. the hacks on a good blog for something like creamed corn should tell you how to make more to portion and freeze so you can use a “can’s worth” of creamed corn for recipe suggestions you get. You’d have to do more actual cooking to get to the point of our good recipe shortcuts but it should be worth it! Or just ask for all the best canned soups for eating as is or for recipe shortcuts be mailed to you. I don’t have the money to ship you things otherwise I’d happily shop and send your way!
You can also make homemade cream of chicken and also cream of mushroom. I tried the condensed (you have to add milk before using) cream of mushroom recipe. I used portabella mushrooms because we had just been given a bunch, and Oh my goodness... best cream of mushroom soup I ever had/used! Best part is because it's condensed it makes quite a bit!!
The Hamburger Helper requires added meat, but Rice-A-Roni when it mentions "chicken" is the flavoring and meat is not essential. The "roni" part is pasta (like macaroni|) so rice and pasta mixed together for a fantastic side dish!
Yeah, I've never added meat to rice a roni. It's not the same as hamburger helper. But I'll have to try it now. It's supposed to be a side dish. I make the rice pilaf with fish, & use the rice as a bed for the fish. ❤
I haven't had Rice a Roni in a very long time. I love how you guys made it with the chicken, broccoli and cheese. I will definitely have to try it that way.
Enablers don't mind spoiling you with American products, including different foods, desserts and etc. So glad you are enjoying the food we do take for granted. I have no doubt that you will be getting more food to try. LOL.
I always brown my rice with butter in the pot before I add water to boil and cook it. By browning it brings out a really yummy nutty flavor that you just don't get if you just dump it straight into the water. Vermicelli is a very tiny thin/short piece of pasta, it is not rice.
@@reckyNcarol Oh no, you guys did perfect! I was only mentioning that I routinely brown my rice even when it does not say to. I specifically love to brown my brown rice in butter before I boil it, and once tender I add butter, salt and pepper and eat it plain! The browning really imparts a true nutty flavor that you just don't get if you don't brown it first. I mentioned it because I am not sure if you guys do that on a regular basis in Sweden. I am sorry you thought I was criticizing you, you really did an amazing job.
Corn bread is open to a lot of variation: add red peppers and jalapenos to make it spicy for Spanish and Mexican dishes; add honey and cinnamon for a sweet treat with coffee; make chili or tortilla soup and add the cornbread batter to the top then bake to make a Mexican shepherd's pie; crumble it into chili or soup. You two like to experiment with recipes - let us know what you come up with. 🤠
It's funny that y'all added chicken and broccoli. Because my kids love Rice-A-Roni and their favorite flavor is the cheddar and broccoli or they have chicken and broccoli so you should try those brands as well. Love you guys
I do the same with my chicken. I always prefer to make my chicken cooked before adding to my food like with rice etc. I don't like to put raw chicken in the food either. I grew up on a poultry farm and we had 8000 chickens. So eating chicken now at my old age just makes me think of those days and I find it hard to eat without precooking first. Weird I know. 😁😄. Blessings from the Great State of Texas 🇺🇸
My favorite is the Beef Rice-A-Roni. I chop up a piece or two of fatty bacon, slice some sausage, and sauté onions with the bacon adding the sausage after a couple of minutes. Then add some butter, and the Rice & Vermicelli mix cooking as directed on the box. The fat from the bacon renders down allowing you to sauté the onions with that fat adding a nice flavor (the bacon itself does as well of course). It tends to be just enough fat to sauté the onions, but won't make the dish greasy. The one you made is my second favorite. I do the same thing with the bacon, and onion, but I do as you did adding the chicken after the water along with broccoli. Chicken, and Broccoli are such a great combination! I've also done the same thing, but with cauliflower. It isn't quite as homogeneous as it is with broccoli, but it is still very good.
Instead of Macaroni it is Ricearoni. It is a play on Macaroni with Rice being the main ingredient instead. Most people were obviously aware of Macaroni and adding veges and meat to it but a lot of people were unfamiliar or aware of rice primary dishes especially back in the day. Rice was its OWN side dish separate from other vegetables and the main meat. This is my understanding of the origin and if incorrect does make sense though. Way to go Carol... I saw you putting a little Ricearoni on the corn bread and eating it together. Now that's American I tell you what!!!
My Rice-A-Roni recipe for the last 25 years. Use a 10 inch frying pan to make the CHICKEN Rice-A-Roni. 2nd frying pan, cook 1 pound (your choice how much) ground beef with chopped onion & black pepper. Add small can of mushrooms (chopped) & a can of corn. Add the completed Rice-A-Roni to the meat/corn mixture = serve! Easy to add extra equal amounts of "Minute Rice" & water (a cup each) plus a CHICKEN boullion cube when boiling the original Rice-A-Roni seasoning packet. (((DO NOT TRY TO BROWN THE "MINUTE RICE")))
For the first time cooking this, I would have liked you to just make the rice without adding any extras. You could gave had it as a side with the chicken and broccoli served separately.
Yeah, They seem to really like extra salt and I’m afraid they will end up with high blood pressure….the silent killer. Maybe an enabler could send them a blood pressure monitor.😮
Rice a Roni the San Francisco treat 🎶
I was so disappointed when a SF a few years ago and the Rice-a-Roni ads weren't on the cable cars. :)
Now I’m gonna have that tune stuck in my head. Thanks a lot. 😂
I loved that commercial when I was a kid in the rural south
I thought it was exotic
The cable cars,the people, just everything about San Francisco
Yes!! The San Francisco treat..that was how they advertised way back 40 yrs ago.
Technically, it is a Shang Dynasty treat rip-off.
I'm glad you liked it. My son't practically grew up on that. They had so many evening activities so we had to have a quick dinner. I would add ground beef and corn one night and maybe sausage and peas another night. It was easy and filling for two teenage boys. Their dad travelled a lot for work so it would feed the three of us.

You made Marie Callender's cornbread mix. Jiffy cornbread is sweet bread and most other mixes aren't that sweet flavor.
Marie Callenders makes great frozen foods. You can't go wrong with rice-a-roni or cornbread. So glad y'all enjoyed it!😊

I usually get a cooked chicken from the market. pull it apart and dump it on the Chicken Rice A Roni, add veggies and call it dinner.

I love, love. Love Rice r Roni....grew up with it😊
Really glad you guys liked Rice a Roni! It would be so funny if one day Carol starts selling homemade cornbread to get more Swedes hooked on it!!!!!
Sorry im late FAM im sick got a sinus and upper respiratory infection👍👍starting to feel better now👍👍
Glad you getting better 🌹

Drain.. mix the season packets in the pasta once you've rinsed the pasta then fold meat in to it when it's done.
We still to this day will make this as we loved it.
I love watching you enjoy the various foods.
This is actually a Shang Dynasty treat that that became popular in Europe then America.

What size can?
Just a regular size can. I think it’s 15 oz or so.
Enjoy watching y'all.
I'm making chili and cornbread now because of you guys and your other videos

The Pasta/Vermacilli toasted/browned gives a somewhat nutty flavour.
Its also common in Lebanese rice too.
Broccoli and cheddar rice a roni is my favorite. Pair it with some shake and bake pork chops or chicken. Also you can add shredded cheese to the pack of shake and bake before coating to make it tastier. This goes good with corn bread or corn casserole too.

"It's not a cooking show" always makes me want to sit down at the table with you both. 😊
Nice to hear 😊
....and a bottle of Aquavit!😊
rice a roni comes in about 12 flavors served as side diish with about any meat usually in U,S,A with pork chops or fried chicken
So delicious and handy to have to add stuff to if you have unexpected guest
👍👍 Fun to see you guys addicted to corn bread; welcome to the club.
I know right.
Rice a Roni was my favorite rice dish growing up. Still like it today, but I make home made fried rice more these days. Thank you for the video. Nice to see the cat also. My cat who just turned 19 is laying on my computer table. Take care
If you make rice a roni and are going to add things to it, be sure to add more liquid..start w/half cup .. I make rice a roni with chicken or beef broth instead of water. Glad you like it.
“Marie” Callendar’s. Marie Callendar’s is known as a home cooked meal comfort food restaurant and pie shop. A bit similar to Cracker Barrel.
I'll bet that Marie Callendars' cornbread is really good.
It was 😋😋
Maybe brown the vermicelli a little more. I think that is just how much color you like in your food. 😊
The vermicelli is a pasta.
Tamale pie, cornbread and sort of taco or chili
Rice a roni and cornbread, that's my childhood. I grew up eating this.
I was wondering if you've ever heard the jingle and just don't realize it. "Rice A Roni...the San Francisco treat" :).
No we havent yet 😊

Bless you!
I add sliced mushrooms, diced beef, and 1 bouillon cube to my beef rice a roni
i love using mushrooms, asparagus, brocolli with different rice dishes. also ive added pork, chicken, shrimp...... yum yum yum
The roni is small pieces of vermicelli.

Wow nice thank you 😃
I like to flour and fry cube steak and add it to the beef flavored rice-a-roni after it's cooked.
Oh my gosh, that looked and sounds so good. Great job on the foods! ❤

I used portabella mushrooms because we had just been given a bunch, and Oh my goodness... best cream of mushroom soup I ever had/used! Best part is because it's condensed it makes quite a bit!!
Glad you guys enjoyed it!❤
I 💕 your cooking show.
Cornbread was Marie Calendars
❤ rice a roni
Love Rice A Roni; I make it as a side for chicken, and pork.
Great Bruce shirt
I like how Recky was like, “Chicken, butter, water” gets to the vegetable and is like, “Hhhhmm. No, don’t tell me, I know this.” 😂
The Hamburger Helper requires added meat, but Rice-A-Roni when it mentions "chicken" is the flavoring and meat is not essential. The "roni" part is pasta (like macaroni|) so rice and pasta mixed together for a fantastic side dish!
Yeah, I've never added meat to rice a roni. It's not the same as hamburger helper. But I'll have to try it now. It's supposed to be a side dish. I make the rice pilaf with fish, & use the rice as a bed for the fish. ❤
I haven't had Rice a Roni in a very long time. I love how you guys made it with the chicken, broccoli and cheese. I will definitely have to try it that way.
It was so good and simple 😋😊
Enablers don't mind spoiling you with American products, including different foods, desserts and etc. So glad you are enjoying the food we do take for granted. I have no doubt that you will be getting more food to try. LOL.
The San Francisco treat!...before SF became a horrible place. The San Francisco treat was a commercial jingle to help sell their product.
You two are corn bread master tasters and makers 😊 thanks now I'm hungry lol 😂
I always brown my rice with butter in the pot before I add water to boil and cook it. By browning it brings out a really yummy nutty flavor that you just don't get if you just dump it straight into the water. Vermicelli is a very tiny thin/short piece of pasta, it is not rice.
Didnt we brown it enough?
@@reckyNcarol Oh no, you guys did perfect! I was only mentioning that I routinely brown my rice even when it does not say to. I specifically love to brown my brown rice in butter before I boil it, and once tender I add butter, salt and pepper and eat it plain! The browning really imparts a true nutty flavor that you just don't get if you don't brown it first. I mentioned it because I am not sure if you guys do that on a regular basis in Sweden. I am sorry you thought I was criticizing you, you really did an amazing job.
I like to add mushrooms and sliced black (ripe) olives to mine.
Corn bread is open to a lot of variation: add red peppers and jalapenos to make it spicy for Spanish and Mexican dishes; add honey and cinnamon for a sweet treat with coffee; make chili or tortilla soup and add the cornbread batter to the top then bake to make a Mexican shepherd's pie; crumble it into chili or soup. You two like to experiment with recipes - let us know what you come up with. 🤠
We have used all the flavors of Rice-a-Roni... Our favorite flavor is Pilaf. We always used it as a side dish. What you made looks excellent. Yum!
It's funny that y'all added chicken and broccoli. Because my kids love Rice-A-Roni and their favorite flavor is the cheddar and broccoli or they have chicken and broccoli so you should try those brands as well. Love you guys
You guys have clearly come to love cornbread. You have it so much! Don't blame you. I love it.
I do the same with my chicken. I always prefer to make my chicken cooked before adding to my food like with rice etc. I don't like to put raw chicken in the food either. I grew up on a poultry farm and we had 8000 chickens. So eating chicken now at my old age just makes me think of those days and I find it hard to eat without precooking first. Weird I know. 😁😄.

Rice-a-roni is a mix of rice shaped pasta (vermicelli) and rice
Bless u Recky
My favorite is the Beef Rice-A-Roni. I chop up a piece or two of fatty bacon, slice some sausage, and sauté onions with the bacon adding the sausage after a couple of minutes. Then add some butter, and the Rice & Vermicelli mix cooking as directed on the box. The fat from the bacon renders down allowing you to sauté the onions with that fat adding a nice flavor (the bacon itself does as well of course). It tends to be just enough fat to sauté the onions, but won't make the dish greasy.
The one you made is my second favorite. I do the same thing with the bacon, and onion, but I do as you did adding the chicken after the water along with broccoli. Chicken, and Broccoli are such a great combination! I've also done the same thing, but with cauliflower. It isn't quite as homogeneous as it is with broccoli, but it is still very good.
Actually having this tonight with shredded chicken added to it.
make the corn batter just like you''re making muffins, but then rather than make muffins, cook pancakes with it.
Corn bread pancakes are called johnny cakes the recipe should be on the side of the box,or in a cook book.
Instead of Macaroni it is Ricearoni. It is a play on Macaroni with Rice being the main ingredient instead. Most people were obviously aware of Macaroni and adding veges and meat to it but a lot of people were unfamiliar or aware of rice primary dishes especially back in the day. Rice was its OWN side dish separate from other vegetables and the main meat. This is my understanding of the origin and if incorrect does make sense though.
Way to go Carol... I saw you putting a little Ricearoni on the corn bread and eating it together. Now that's American I tell you what!!!
My Rice-A-Roni recipe for the last 25 years. Use a 10 inch frying pan to make the CHICKEN Rice-A-Roni. 2nd frying pan, cook 1 pound (your choice how much) ground beef with chopped onion & black pepper. Add small can of mushrooms (chopped) & a can of corn. Add the completed Rice-A-Roni to the meat/corn mixture = serve! Easy to add extra equal amounts of "Minute Rice" & water (a cup each) plus a CHICKEN boullion cube when boiling the original Rice-A-Roni seasoning packet. (((DO NOT TRY TO BROWN THE "MINUTE RICE")))
Great job again...the Jiffy box will have the flapjack (pancake) recipe on the box...I think it's on one of the side panels.
I put beef rice a roni in my Cabbage rolls
What a great idea! I'm going to try that. Thanks.
America is KING of ultra processed food. If it's really food. Read the ingredients.
Cheddar broccoli rice a roni is my favorite ❤
For the first time cooking this, I would have liked you to just make the rice without adding any extras. You could gave had it as a side with the chicken and broccoli served separately.
Have you guys ever tried Famous Dave's cornbread? To me it's one of the best but it's a little sweeter than normal
No we havent 😊
@@reckyNcarol not yet at least 👍
You should do Not a Cooking Show at Reckys parents house
You do NOT need extra salt for Rice-a-Roni. Its got plenty of salt already
Have you two tried making whooped honey butter for your cornbread?
Yeah, They seem to really like extra salt and I’m afraid they will end up with high blood pressure….the silent killer. Maybe an enabler could send them a blood pressure monitor.😮
