Our daughter and son-in-law were married in May. They each had their own apartments (furnished, with help, at least our daughter's was) so needed very little, not to mention, combining two apartments into one isn't easy. They registered for a few items but what they really were happy to...

Got Garlic said it right. Never partially cook chicken. the bacteria in undercooked then reheated chicken multiplies. Any chance of storing the chicken drummies and wing-ettes in a refrigerator with a spicy dry rub, then pat dry and fry? Toss with a sauce and serve to order? A lot of work...

Everyone's meals sound and look delicious (thanks for the photos). We cheated tonight. Ordered a pizza from our small town mom'n'pop pizza joint that has been in business since 1976. We had an anniversary gift card from one of our daughters which made it even more special. Pizza and a...

I've loved this ever since I first read it. It's titled "Life Is Like A Journey On A Train". It was then and is now a very thoughtful piece of writing. Thanks for bringing it to our attention again, it was beautifully written several years ago.

CraigC, you're crass! What's wrong with me offering my opinion on what we like here? A daughter likes barbequed chicken pizza, wouldn't touch that either. Have it your way but we like pizza the way I mentioned. Pizza is Italian...and what do Italians like? Italian pizza. If you're...

Hi Sharon and welcome. What types of cooking do you prefer? Congratulations on retirement, best thing that can happen to a person that has worked hard for a long time.

Leaf Blowers??? Oh, we must live on the same street. Every Sunday there is a man a few houses away that does nothing all day but blow leaves, wet leaves, leaves covered with snow, you name it, he's out there. When grass cutting time comes around, every Sunday again, around 9:30 a.m., out with...

Pizza is supposed to be pizza. No fancy foods on it, just a lot of Italian spices, or a bit of sauce, some great cheese, maybe mushrooms and Italian sausage, add onions, peppers, a few other veggies and call it a day. It's no longer a pizza when other 'stuff' is added.

I also saw the Cook's Country episode showing the Chocolate éclair torte. As much as I trust Cook's Country for great recipes (and America's Test Kitchen) I'd never make their version, it looked to be too runny, prob'ly tasted great but I like a torte that an be cut and served. I also prefer...

I spend time outside for the peace and quiet and the serenity and beauty of simply being outside, natural and natures sounds are why I'm out there. Toss wind chimes in that equation? They don't belong. Our across the street neighbors have wind chimes on their front porch. When the wind...

I saw this done on either America's Test Kitchen or Cook's Country, using the egg whites and panko crumbs. Looked interesting but.... Sorry, I also thought why they would cover the flavor of fresh asparagus at this time of the year. Love it steamed, also love to have it hit boiling water for...

I love America's Test Kitchen AND Cook's Country. They provide a free weekly e-mail, usually includes a video of a recipe. When possible I'll watch their show on Public TV and enjoy every one. I used to get the magazines of both but would run out of time before finishing so switched to their...

Got it! There's a contest for eating fast and a lot. Hmmm, OK, now it makes sense, doesn't matter what it is, just eat the most the fastest?? Dumb!

I haven't cooked with them but I know they need a long slow braise and have a wonderful flavor and a lot of great tasting meatiness if done properly. If I recall correctly, Chef Anne Burrell did a recipe on Food Network using them and it looked great. I'm not a fan of TV food shows UNLESS the...

Mad Cook, the fascination is they love to get an award for eating the most the fastest and being shown on every TV station for 'wolfing' down their food. One of these days one of the contestants in one of these food 'pig-outs' is going to choke, and I'd bet the sponsor of the contest is going...
