My favourites were 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' and 'Secret Garden'. I still like them.

That all sounds yummy!! We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but I do prepare a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at Christmas. I generally make green bean bundles, which are wrapped in bacon strips. I prepare them a day ahead and put them in the oven after the turkey is out. Last year I...

Oh Craig, I so agree!

Claire, that sounds really interesting. Is it worth while buying a newer version of Joy?

I checked...My 'Joy of Cooking' is a reprint (1984) of the 1975 version, It is stained, held together with tape and marked with metric measurements here and there. I do have American cups and spoons, but some things don't translate well (things like butter are better weighed as we have no...

Joy of cooking is wonderful! I bought a new one when I moved here all those years ago. It has all the basics. Is anybody familiar with the newest version?

The lasagna and salad sound delicious! We are having some leftover fried rice (nasi goreng). I plan to add more veggies to it. I am marinading some chicken in sate spices (mainly cumin and coriander seeds with garlic and soy sauce). I'll be grilling those in the oven. Steamed broccoli will...

Hello Margi, nice to meet you. I do live near Amsterdam, but grew up in the Denver area. I certainly don't know a lot about wine, but do know what I like and enjoy. It is just like what people used to say about Art. I don't know anything about Art, but I know what I like! I do buy Italian...

This is interesting. We have been buying wine from Chili, and enjoying it. !! I will check out the Julian chiite Rose. Denver is beer country! I haven't lived there for many years, but that is my memory!

We drink rose here...a dry rose. It was funny.. We visited Colorado 5 years ago and we had a hard time finding a dry rose. What we did find was Italian and wonderful!

Bear, it is a moist cake with a 'rough' crumb. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it isnot fine. I'll post the recipe tomorrow... bedtime here

I have a similar recipe that has no eggs. The buttermilk/baking soda is the leavening. Let me know if you want the recipe(Fannie Farmer cookbook).

I remember wine in Crete being kind of brownish. It was served in little stemless glasses. It was fine...

In The Netherlands we generally take the 'lid' off and eat the bottom...at least that is how I do it! Tompouce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am envious of your garden. Holland is a small country and many things are mini, including our garden. We have herbs and raspberries.... Zucchini (courgette) are a thing of the past since we got cats. The soil is wrong for asparagus. I did look into it. I prefer the green but the Dutch prefer...
