Mom is an infinitely patient cook, but she has a real stove and she would rather be waterboarded than use any kind of prepackaged stuffing. Not me! I love it. For a bit of a taste flair, I like to crush up those nice garlic and herb croutons and mix it into the stuffing and add some fresh sage...

Since I grow and preserve a lot of veggies and have access to fresh meat from Dad and neighbors I usually spend only about $45 - $60 a week mostly for cat and dog food and paper stuff and some stuff I don't grow or have.

I must be weird. I start cooking and I get so hungry while cooking! But I can only cook what I (now we) can eat because I have no freezer here. I "adjust" recipes so that to feed only one or three I don't waste anything.

I grow my own beans and do my own canning, so I would think that is a viable alternative for me, anyway. Not many people have the opportunity to grow their own and can their own, so I would guess that dried beans would be the way to go here. Also, at the supermarket, you can find fresh beans in...

I can deal with that.

Oh My God! I'm praying hard for anyone in its path. I remember when we had a fire close to here, it was so terrifying!!!

I love Calvin and Hobbes. Welcome. I have more kitchen incidents than I want to remember. I cook on a wood cook stove. Talk about disasters...oh my. But any cooking question you have can be answered in spades here! You have come to the right place.

A bit warm, in the 50s. My water hose thawed out and I got to wash my car today! I'm trading it tomorrow for a Subaru Forester I found that I can afford. YAY, life is so good to me!

Okay, let's work with you have for meats first. I would suggest slicing the chicken into 2" slabs, wrap with bacon and saute those with the onions and garlic and butter until done (use a meat thermometer). Then saute the prawns and sausages (I am assuming you have those little sausages) in...

Such good news she got help! Thank you for keeping us updated. I hope to hear from her soon, when I get a chance to call her.

I liked your intro! No worries, help for everything from an unhappy heart to last-minute "Oh I blew up the kitchen..." help is here. These folks are the bomb, and you'll be just fine.

I'm praying for you, Katie, and you hang in there, my dear friend. Much love and many hugs, Love, Erin

She is okay. She has had some damage to her house, but she is hunkered down in the breakfast room and she has been able to cook and have a shower (she has gas) and she is OKAY. She and her cats have huddled up and they are okay. She sounded in good spirits and she made the call short because she...

Granted -- but everyone uses sign language. I wish I had a gas stove.
