Sounds good, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to try it. Every time I cut an avocado it mysteriously disappears. Hmmm. . . where does it go?

Oops! I guess I didn't do the cut & paste thing very well. Didn't mean to make my entry so BIG! Oh well, live and learn.

Just thought I’d add a simple, yet yummy recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie. Lemon Meringue Pie For Crust: 1 cup flour 1/3 cup Crisco 3 – 4 T. ice water ½ tsp. salt For Filling: 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup cornstarch 1/8 tsp. salt 2 cups cold water zest of 1 lemon ¼ cup butter ½...

Jkath - Your summer salad is absolutely delish! In fact, I'm eating the rest of it right now. Thanks for dropping by and bringing lunch. The company & conversation were so enjoyed.

Hey SizzlininIn. . . I think you should join your sister in laws. Seems only fair. I've seen a little of Italy. Hopefully, one day I'll get to Australia. I actually have a couple of friends there so I'd even have a place to stay. Buckytom. . I'm definitely going to try the Black...

I'm heading to Ireland at the end of July. (Hurray!) I'll be staying a week in Wexford Co. (Looking for ancestors) then I'll spend two weeks visiting as much of the rest of the country as possible. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on places to stay, restaurants, pubs, foods to...

Thank you southerncook for the suggestion about spreading melted chocolate on the toffee after it sets up. That's the reason I joined this site. . so I could get tips like that. :)

Kansasgirl, thank you again for the recipes. I made the pumpkin mousse this weekend. It was delicious. Now I think I'll try the pumpkin roll.
