This is easy. It was about 1986 or '87. Dh & I are newly married and poor as church mice and I was entralled with the SnackMaster infomercial.
Dh finally said ok to me buying the thing. It probably cost $50 -$60 (did I mention we were really poor & newlyweds). I doubt I used the thing...
I make something sweet at least once a week. Normally we eat a small piece after supper and I'll send the rest with dh to work the next day to share. I just enjoy baking and trying new recipes, but I don't want the sweets hanging around tempting me.
I use a combo of:
onion
garlic
salt & pepper
hot sauce
mustard seed
curry pwd
jalepeno peppers
crushed red pepper
peppercorns
This was a recipe I found years ago on the net and I just tweaked it.
Since others are giving recommendations for their favorite brand of tea I'll add mine. I like Luzianne brand tea. I use 4 family size tea bags to make 1 gallon of iced tea.
Just boil a tea kettle full of water. Pour boiling water into tea pitcher. Add the tea bags to water. Place a lid on...
No I agree wholeheartedly. I am forever complaining to my dh about this sort of thing. When watching FoodNetwork I see it all of the time and have said the same as you.
I know when to make adjustments and rarely follow a recipe as written anyway, but for someone learning how to cook it...
