they were blueberry lemon squares :[ everyone was so close!

The Magic Bullet! I thought it looked amazing on TV... taking all the work out of grating, chopping, mincing, etc.... but it turns out it only really purees, and doesn't puree very well for that matter. It was such a disappointment!

I feel the same way about garlic presses as many mentioned above! It is more work to clean and use than it would be to just mince the garlic by hand. I also feel that it loses some of its flavor by contact with the press! Not a tool I'd use in my kitchen lol.

3. is a catalyst and 5. is the yo-yo! Thats all I know. :]

I use a scale for measuring fruits and sugar when making jellies... but I definitely did get some strange looks buying it, perhaps because I'm so young lol! Who knows what they thought I'd be doing with that scale... but I guess now I know lol! :]

welcome to DC!! I'm sure you will love it here :] its a great community!

A bit less like a pie and more like a cohesive unit that can be cut! (Hard to give hints without giving it away lol)

sounds like you could make some great crisps out of those fruits! I currently make a great Strawberry Mango Crisp, and I had no idea that the combination would taste so good. I'm sure you could use the same basic recipe for other types of fruit combinations. Also, mango makes a great glaze...

close! :chef:

Definitely refrigerate!! If it's refrigerated, I'd say about a week to a week and a half... it starts to smell strange after that, and get an odd consistency, more like a jelly. I wouldn't want to eat anything that doesn't look or smell as fresh as the first day it was opened, lol!

Name this recipe.... Part 1 1 cup softened butter 1 cup powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups flour Part 2 1/2 cup sugar 3 Tbsps flour 1 lemon (juice & zest) 1/8 tsp salt 3 eggs 2 cups blueberries

I love this game!! Can't wait to play the next round.

I watched Lady in the Water, a fantastic "modern-day" fable!! :]

kate gosselin!

As everyone said very well, expired spices are fine - just lose their flavor a bit! To compensate, you can "flash" them in a pan for about 20 seconds (without burning them) to bring out the oils and the flavors. Do this to the spices you need in the right amounts before cooking. Then...
