    Two questions about Pasta

    I agree with Aunt Bea. How will you prevent pre-cooked pasta from sticking together? It's better to go ahead and assemble the whole thing.

    Birthday Menu and how the internet created a new birthday tradition for our family...

    Our tradition is that the birthday person gets what they want for the day of their birthday. A friend of mine celebrates birthday week where she does something special each day, but it's not necessarily food-related. I've adopted that one 😁

    What are your guilty pleasures... Fess up

    All right, all right, I'll tell you! I absolutely LOVE these chocolate éclairs from 7-Eleven! They're baked fresh every day at a local bakery - yes, a very large one that supplies the entire East Coast, but it's local to me, and they're delicious! 😁 I often stop by and get one on my way to the...

    Why does U of M tell you to process canned goods so long?

    Just to clarify, the National Center for Home Food Preservation linked above is the extension office of the University of Georgia. It's the primary location where the actual testing for canning and other preservation methods takes place, so the information on other university extension sites...

    Why does U of M tell you to process canned goods so long?

    As I mentioned above, the guidelines change over time. I imagine your sister, your neighbor and your mom use the amount that was recommended when they started canning and they just continue to use the same recipes they always have, even though the guidelines have changed. Yes, the amount of...

    Why does U of M tell you to process canned goods so long?

    I think it's important to follow the instructions from the Cooperative Extension office for your area, which this is. Scientific knowledge and other variables change over time. For example, lots of tomatoes are less acidic than they used to be, so you might need to add more vinegar or citrus...

    Anniversary dinner ideas?

    My husband always wants my lasagna for his birthday. You can make it a day or two ahead and bake it the day of. I serve it with garlic bread and a nice green salad and I make this Quick Tiramisu for dessert.

    Question about cast iron care?

    It's a good idea to wipe it with a bit of oil after drying it on the burner. Don't worry about the residue.

    Black garlic-how is it fermented?

    The first time I had it was in a restaurant in Charleston, SC. It was mixed with aioli and served with a fish dish. It has an intensely savory flavor. It isn't really fermented, btw. The flavor comes from the Maillard reaction, where proteins and sugars are browned and that browning creates...

    Did Ya'll know there are Self Driving Robot Trucks on the Road in the USA?

    Programming for autonomous vehicles takes in data and is given rules to follow and combines those for decision-making. It's not necessary for the programmer to anticipate and program in every possible scenario. Autonomous vehicles have cameras, motion detectors, proximity detectors, and other...

    Did Ya'll know there are Self Driving Robot Trucks on the Road in the USA?

    Well, plenty of people are thinking and writing about autonomous vehicles and Asimov's laws for robots, so they're not entirely irrelevant. I brought it up to encourage discussion about how to manage the addition of AI-driven autonomous vehicles to society, since it's happening.

    Did Ya'll know there are Self Driving Robot Trucks on the Road in the USA?

    Computers will make whatever decisions they're programmed to make. Writer Isaac Asimov, who wrote a lot of books and stories about robots, established these rules for robots: "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey...
