If you are not going to use your shredded lettuce right away it will turn brown due to a reaction with the metal knife or metal food processor blade. There are two ways I know of to get around the browning issue. The first way is to treat it with an antioxidant. This can be either crushed...

I am in complete agreement on measuring. Baking ingredients must be precise. I have noticed quite a difference in results being just one or two tablespoons off when measuring flour. It's definitely worth the trouble to be very accurate when baking.

If you want a different version try this: Buy some decent submarine rolls. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Generously butter the inside of the rolls then sprinkle very generously with garlic powder. You need a lot of garlic powder so don't be skimpy. I would say it takes about 2 teaspoons of...

If you would still like suggestions I was thinking you might start with deep fried potato skins with melted cheddar and bacon bits then serve the chili and bread. Just a thought. The potato skins are always a hit whenever I've seen them served. Jeff

I'm with you Barbara. I love pickled beets. Do you make your own? Jeff

That could be the reason I can't duplicate Mom's recipe. Her spaghetti and meatballs are great. She shared her recipe with me but I can't seem to get it the same as hers. I like mine but hers is much better. Sigh.

Yeah, why spoil perfectly good hot fudge sauce with ice cream! Hot fudge sauce is one of my favorite vices although I rarely indulge. My sister owns and operates an ice cream truck. Her fudge sauce is heavenly. I have been tempted to buy a big can from her but so far have not succumbed to my...

I remember eating Wheatena too and yes, it was very good. I had forgotten about it as you did. Thanks for bringing it up. Hope you find some soon. Jeff

I'll have to say Chicken Parmesan. Of course a big bowl of hot fudge sauce is sublime!

This thread is funny. I like it.

Cornstarch and water is what I was thinking too. It won't affect the taste either. Jeff

I have tried it but not to get rid of bitterness. I was trying to make the coffee more flavorful and the salt did make a welcome difference. If you perceive your coffee to be lacking try just a little. You will probably like it. Jeff

I cook my pancakes on a Presto electric griddle. I have tried different temperature settings and find 325 to be the best. Although I do like this griddle I have to say that it does not heat evenly. The area that is over the heat element is hotter than the rest of the surface, as you might...

I'm the same. You have to be considerate of other people. I've noticed people in the supermarket squeezing the self serve donuts who lick their fingers then keep on squeezing donuts and not buy them leaving them for someone else. Gross. Jeff

Good point. Jeff
