My husband just got his smoker set up o he wants to smoke the turkey. We'll have some kind of brussell sprouts, I do glazed carrots and parsnips, corn casserole that every year never turns out, but we make it anyway, kind of tradition. I usually do two stuffings, a mushroom and a regular, but...

For my family reunion, I did a homemade French bread pepperoni roll with homemade sauce and it was a hit. Simple and easy to transport.

Can you share the recipe you used? I tried a marshmallow fondant once and it was a disaster. The cake I want to make for my daughter's birthday is covered with fondant. (polka dotted as well)

I only buy unsalted butter, so I use it in everything. Like Andy said, baking is probably the best, but also for cooking, just adjust the salt you add to the dish for taste.

I was the same, Snip. No friends during the week, in bed by 10. My parents ran me around to soccer, piano, and more soccer. It was because of all my activities that I learned to cook. My sister and I had to have dinner on the table when my mom got home from work so we could eat and go to...

I'll have to check this book out! I'm a science geek, too and love knowing why stuff works in cooking. I think sometimes it lets you be a little creative because you know what you can sub for ingredients. Have your read, "On Food and Cooking, The science and lore of the kitchen"?

Sounds yummy. I don't eat chicken livers, but I'm sure I could substitute chicken breast or other meats..

I was looking for a place to well, discuss cooking and found DC.

Thanks Bolas. My DH will be very happy.
