I have been using MasterCook for several years. I was contemplating switching until I got a copy of MasterCook 9. I love it, I can copy recipes from websites directly into MC, I can copy from a word processor, it has shopping lists, it exports easily, I can change a recipe from one form of...

Tonight is going to be fairly simple, baked pork chops, green salad and baked potatoes with a cheese sauce.

Cornbread is a much fought over concoction. Those of the Northern persuasion insist on putting sugar in it, but then it becomes Johnny [Journey] Cake. Those of the Southron persuasion generally know that for perfect cornbread you must use cast iron. The basic flavor of the cornbread can be...

I had forgotten I had not posted my New Zealand Blog addy on this website. I am very sorry to have deserted my friends. Just so you can see what I've been doing, please drop in to the following Blog address and leave your comments if you so desire. If you haven't been to NZ, you don't know what...

Me too JoAnn! I can pretty much do what I want, when I want. I've posted that I'm going to New Zealand for 6 weeks. I leave on December 5th and return January 17th. Being retired I was worrying about having some $ to spend, well, I paid my truck off, there was $285, paid my life insurance...

Dave are you saying Shambles is in a shambles? I was going to suggest contacting KA, they've been known to repair a 20 yo mixer and replace another that was older. Yes, I'm going to go turn mine upside down :sad:

You should ask cjs [Jean] she and her hubby used to do it all the time at home.

Since my kitchen sink is out of order [take the dishwasher into the bathroom to run it :mad: ] I think I'll do something simple like a home canned tuna salad. Were supposed to have the drain pipes replaced Wednesday...obviously haven't. Have you ever tried to get your dishwasher into your...

Oooh Oooh, Michelemarie, can I have some? I keep trying to get ChefJune to come out here and make me some but she won't do it!

Sure enough jkath. I'll post it in the recipes section. Uh, I guess this is the recipe section huh? I made it both ways, with apple cider vinegar and with Balsamic. Both were delicious. Here it comes: * Exported from MasterCook * Pickled...

I always use dried beans and then cook them myself. Canned just don't taste right IMO.
