    CA - Yountville ... The French Laundry

    Nick that was amazing writing! Your descriptions, and little humorous interjections made it facinating - and riviting. :clap::clap:

    ISO Penzey's Spices Recommendations

    Sattie - on your next order you should try the English Prime Rib Rub. I don't buy a lot of spice mixes but we love that stuff, it makes a bloody Mary perfect! Their Bangkok Blend is also really good - makes it easy to throw together a Thai influenced dinner - yummy on grilled salmon. We've...

    Black Pepper?

    We have a peppermill for white peppercorns, one for the 4 color blend, two for black pepper, and then we roast our peppercorns and crush them in the mortar & pestle. Roasting them just makes them so intense. I also have green and pink peppercorns. Pepper on strawberries with balsamic...

    Does coffee go bad?

    We usually just make enough for the two of us at one time. If there's any leftover I'll, maybe, have an iced coffee - but has to be before noon or I won't sleep. If there's any leftover and I'm making gravy or cooking a beef braise I'll dump it in. We're so fussy about our coffee that DH...

    TNT - Grandma's Buttered Noodles & Cheese

    My Mom had this "recipe" for Noodles Romanoff - wide egg noodles, tossed with some onions that had been softened in butter, cottage cheese, and parm. Geeze I still absolutely love that stuff. Hmmmmm, gotta go check the date on the cottage cheese.:rolleyes:

    Do you use fresh lemons/limes?

    Always fresh! I have considered the new crystals for "in a pinch" times - but they're always on hand - for drinks, cooking, everything! I have been known to buy bottled lemon juice when I'm canning tons of tomatoes - but that's about the only time, and I do mean tons and tons before I buy...

    Ditto what Amber said. Marge you need to take care of yourself too. John needs his family around him - 1 1/2 hrs is close - and you can get some rest, see family and let them take care of you for a few days! It will do you a world of good and then you can go home - rested and stronger. Hugs...

    Habanero Gold Jelly

    The first time I made it I followed the directions exactly and it set up beautifully. The second time I made it I doubled the apricots and it set up perfectly - both times were with Certo. I've got more habaneros coming on, and some in the fridge. I've also got some dried mango and...

    Dog Lovers

    We lost our darling Frodo a week ago this last Sunday. He was in kidney failure, couldn't pee, and we had to give him an enema so he could poo. The vet tried everything - but there was nothing we could do but end his suffering. My heart is still breaking, and I wish he was still here - but I...

    Oh Marge! I am so sorry, I've been away for a week and was shocked at the changes in John's health. We will continue to send thoughts and prayers your way! {{{{{{{{[[[[[HUGS!]]]]]}}}}}}}} for you and your entire family. I'm so glad your sister is coming out - while you are an amazingly...
