Thank you for your expertise! the issue is not whether I have blah, blah, blah, (plus I don't - only have soft chocolate chip cookies), but seeing if I can clean the cabinet of saltine crackers. Oh well, I better not this time. I'll go out and get graham crackers. Again, thank for your...

I am making Lemon Ice Cream Surprise again for a picnic. The recipe is at Lemon Ice Cream Surprise Recipe - Food.com - 92215 [original link is dead, but recipe is all over the internet - yummy.] The recipe calls for 2 cups of crushed graham cracker. I have alot of "no salt" saltine crackers...

I have all these tomatoes from the garden. Normally my sister would cook them up (pasta sauce, whatever) and can them, but their family is not here for the weekend. I use wheelchair and normally do not cook. When I do, it is crockpot or microwave. Making pasta sauce and other stuffs to be...

Last summer, someone recommended lemon ice cream surprise, Lemon Ice Cream Surprise | Rerecipe It was a hit and I made it several times (Thank you to whoever posted that). This time I am thinking about changing the flavor (something different). Instead of lemonade (frozen concentrate), I...

I want to thank for all these suggestions. I don't like carrot and cucumber, but the fruit salad idea looks good. If I don't go, I will always eat up the fruits anyway. Sheng-Chieh

I will be attending another picnic and I need to bring salad (last time was dessert). While I probably could buy potato salad or something from the grocery store, I prefer to make, because I am not 100% sure I am going to the picnic. I use wheelchair and do not use the stove or oven. Plus I am...

I was going to do frozen candies, but merstar lemon ice cream treat looks interesting. Had any of you ever tried it w/ low sugar ice cream or lemonade (i.e., no added sugar, not necessarily sugar-free)? Sheng-Chieh

I'm bring for 4-8 people. Baking is "off-limit" for me. I'll take a look at frozen snicker bars. Sheng-Chieh

I need to bring a dessert for a picnic next weekend. I prefer to bring something frozen cold (as to cool off). I use wheelchair and do NOT use the stove - just microwave and toaster oven. Can you people suggest anything that is easy to make - something like ice cream, Italian ice, frozen...

Thank for the reply. Here's the online version. Overnight Oatmeal Recipe : Alton Brown : Food Network Sheng-Chieh p.s. Still boiled over using a large bowl. But using an over-sized cooking bowl helped. But I'll try the crockpot menu.

Thank for replying. I did had pomodori sauce for lunch. Like it but thought the sauce was abit thin. So a followup question: Is marinara sauce thicker than pomodori sauce? How about pesto sauce? Sheng-Chieh

You are correct - milk creeps thru the slot and spills over. Loosely covering will not work. Maybe lower power will. I tried using a bowl before. Made an even bigger mess. Also, tried a bowl sized corning ware which has a glass lid. Still messy. Will using an over-size corning ware pot with...

Couldn't find the correct sub-forum, so pardon me for posting here. Every time I nuke McCann 5 minutes steel-cut Irish Oatmeal I make a mess despite following the microwave instruction on the box. I use a fully closed Tender Cooker from NordicWare. I.e., Tender Cooker - Nordic Ware And the...

I'm heading to Pasta Market later and am looking at the menu. Which of these sauces are more "veggie" (nutrition-wise)? marinara sauce pesto sauce basil cream pomodori sauce Thank in advance for your help. Sheng-Chieh

The tomato season ended and I picked a few dozens of unripe tomatoes (not going to get any more ripe). Now the issue is what to do with them. My sister suggested using them in cooking, not make tomato sauce. What do you suggest? I use wheelchair and do NOT stove cook, but use crockpot and/or...

My elderly Mom is allergic to milk, but she loves pizza. Where can you eat out (preferably a place where waiters serve you so you don't have to do anything) dairy-free pizza in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland Bay area? She lives in Menlo Park, one town north of Palo Alto (smack in the middle...

I'm guessing pea. At least it looks like the picture in upper right corner of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pea Sheng-Chieh p.s. Sorry can't post URL yet - not enough posts.

Thank you for replying. Maybe someone can cite a recipe where the pea pods don't need to be shelled. Oh well - I guess I'm stuck stringing them. Sheng-Chieh

Every weekend, I end up shucking the fava beans and pea pods. The fava beans are easy - just snap them at the seedsinto a large bowl. But what is the fastest way to shuck pea pods? Strip them (pull string on side) and open them in (vertical) half or what? Any trick(s) to opening them...

Thank for the replies. Has anyone tries unsweetened lemonade without any "sugar" addictive? Or you have to put something in since it's so sour. [Otherwise I'll stick with sugar-free lemonade.] Sheng-Chieh

I'm about to order lemonade from Amazon - most likely it's Wyler brand. I need to decide between Wyler's Unsweetened Lemonade Package (Pack of 144) Wyler's Light Sugar Free Drink Mix, Lemonade, 12 Quart Canister (Pack of 12) What is the difference between unsweetened and sugar-free lemonade...

Thank you for all the suggestions - I'll consider them again next year. I decide to just get two giant mangos (on sale anyway) - she happens to love mango - the store I went to (last minute) didn't have much choices (and no time to make stuffs). Sheng-Chieh

Hi! My niece is having a bday party this Sat - so I'm sure there will be enough goodies (including sweets) around. Thus, I'm ruling out getting even another bday cake that my immediate family (not part of the party) can celebrate with for her bday. What other items would be a good...

Thank for the suggestions. Can you people answer the other question? I.e., what other ingredients are dairy product beside milk and butter? Just want to check the label and be safe before I buy. Sheng-Chieh

My brother-in-law has a bday coming this weekend and is dairy allergic. Is there any cake that is dairy-free? Or is pie a better idea? Or anything else? I use wheelchair, so baking is difficult so I prefer to buy than bake (plus I'm no baker!). How can I tell if a product is dairy-free...
