    Can't really cook

    How many calories a day do you comsume? And what do you mean when you say "I don't really eat anything?" You can still cook on a low calorie diet so I'm curious, what are you eating?

    Any TNT Tomato soups out there?

    Larry, why not make roasted tomato soup? I love this simple but delicious way to make tomato soup. Click on my blog, Chew On This at the bottom, then click on the link on the right "Winter, an excuse for Comfort Food." The recipe calls for roasted tomatoes and that's very easy to make. The...

    ISO opinions on Cast Iron Casserole Dish

    Most casserole dishes are good. Try Pyrex or any of the cast iron dishes that are less expensive than LeCreuset. All of my casserole dishes are cast iron and only one of the 5 is NOT a LeCreuset. People have been making great casseroles for years without paying an arm and a leg. Try a couple...

    Chicken Picatta

    Chicken and Veal Piccata are on my favorites list waaaay at the top. I like to pair this with a pasta with light sauce so if won't interfere with the awesome lemon/caper flavor of the dish itself. Keep it simple. I also agree with a side of steamed and buttered broccoli, carrots pr better...

    Nintendo Wii

    I bought my grandson a Wii for Christmas a year ago and we had a lot of fun with it. It came with 4 games, bowling, baseball and two others and we found it addictive. This year I got him the Guitar Hero with several instruments. THAT one is hilarious and more fun than you can imagine. The...

    Cutting Boards ~ Bamboo or Plastic or Both

    I have 3 of each, bamboo and plastic. I prefer the bamboo over the plastic. I think the bamboo cleans easier, and doesn't stain.

    Salmonella is spreading (peanut butter)

    I've been buying peanut butter for a few months now. Both the jarred 365 Brand from Whole Foods and their freshly ground peanuts (great for peanut butter cookies) with no problem. I wish I had bought 2 jars now. No telling when we'll be able to buy it again. I GOTTA have peanut butter. :mad:

    What is Apricot Nectar?

    I used to drink this instead of juice. It can be found in the juice section of any supermarket. It's not thin like orange juice; more like a thin puree. It's used in recipes for cakes, cookies, etc. Click here for more recipes.

    Steam Carpet Cleaners...

    This may be true in some cases but not all. I had carpeting in all of my retail stores as well as throughout my homes and always had Stanley Steamer do the job. My retail stores had stains you wouldn't believe and they NEVER came back. Same with the stains on my own home carpeting. I don't...

    Bay Leaves

    I try to buy fresh bay leaves whenever I can. Whole Foods is the only store here that carries them all the time. They will last in your vegetable crisper for weeks so no need to worry about spoiling. I prefer the fresh to dried.

    Brining Baked Potatoes And Other Potato Questions

    I've been told by someone who works for Outback, that they use the same oil that is used on buttered popcorn at the movies. It's not really butter, but a butter flavored oil. That's probably why you aren't getting the same flavor. Why not ask the manager of Outback what they use. You might...

    Lard in your pastry!

    When we visited my in-laws relatives in the U.P. of Michigan, Cornish pasties were always on the menu for dinner. They made pasties with beef suet and I have to tell you there isn't a crust I've tasted since that can compare. Suet (lard) makes the flakiest, richest crust ever for savory pies...

    Yep, I agree and it makes 2 quarts of perfect ice cream every time.

    Steam Carpet Cleaners...

    No. My floors are natural hickory and real wood should never be cleaned with water and definitely not hot steam. Click here I use a specially made cleaner for wood. But the Bissell does a terrific job on my mushroom colored carpeting and I don't have to pay Stanley Steamer 125.00 to do...

    Steam Carpet Cleaners...

    My son and his wife bought me a Bissell Pro Heat Turbo for Christmas. (This is the kind of stuff you get when you're my age :smile:) I haven't used it yet, he said he would do the carpets for me, but he has one and has used it on mine. It works like a charm. I always had Stanley Steamer do...

    Weird smell/taste to my chocolate banana bread loaf

    [FONT="Book Antiqua"][/FONT] Oh my gosh, I think you hit the nail on the head for both of us. I put some potatoes in my oven to bake and got the same oniony smell. Couldn't figure out why. Now I looked in my oven, really looked this time, and it needs a cleaning badly. I'm bettiing that's...

    This news story explains a lot.

    [FONT="Book Antiqua"][SIZE="2"][B][COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Nothing has changed for me and I'm usually in a very good mood, but I did blog about the recent closing of the Circuit City stores, one more in a series of store closings and I feel the situation will get worse before it gets better. We...

    Anyone have any opinions on why my ice cream maker does not make ice cream?

    Your method may not be traditional but if you like what you made that's all that counts. As for different flavors, that's the reason I make my own ice cream. There are dozens of flavors and combinations out there and if you google "recipes for homemade ice cream" you'll get a ton of them...

    Blinking graphics

    Awww come on, this is gorgeous. When I said some blinking graphics are annoying, I'm talking about trying to read someone's blog while the entire background is dancing around and flashing like a spastic neon sign. The rose is in no way the same thing. I like it. Why is this affecting you so...

    Which Celebrity TV Chef is actually the BEST CHEF?

    I hope we don't start beating Jeff Smith to death over the scandal thing because that's not what this thread is about. Hope we stick to the orginal subject. I just wanted to say that I loved watching him, and I thought his show was not only informative but his recipes looked delicious. The...

    Which Celebrity TV Chef is actually the BEST CHEF?

    I find his recipes to be far more than just "eh" but that's my opinion of course. If you like his burgers, his restuarant in the Mandalaly Bay Hotel in Las Vegas serves up his Kobe beef burger at a mere $79.00. A la carte. :cool:
