Bobby Flay has a new book out with recipes for Burgers, Fries and Shakes. I got it for DH so he can make us some yummy burgers now that the weather is better. Of course, there is a giveaway for it here for those who might want it. It has a lot of good tips in it so hopefully our burger...

I went to the grocery store today and when I got home, I thought.....where are the bananas, tomatoes and cucumber that I bought?? It turns out, I must have forgotten one bag of groceries at the store! It is too far to go back and get them now, but I keep thinking.....how did I forget a whole bag...

I recently rediscovered buttered popcorn flavored Jelly Belly Beans as I have not eaten jelly beans for years. To some popcorn is an odd flavored jelly bean, but I love it. Which Jelly Bean flavor do you love?

Just wondering if others are used to chewing their food on one side of their mouth as opposed to the other, or are you equally balanced? I noticed that I am used to chewing my food in the left side of my mouth, so I recently made a concious effort to chew on the right. It seemed as though the...

Since it is wedding season, I am curious to know what the best party favor others have received. The best favor I received was from a wedding and it was a nice oil/vinegar bottle.

Lately, I have been noticing that I have been getting charged incorrectly for purchases. Sometimes it is in my favor and sometimes it is not. I usually say something as my conscience won't let me sleep if I don't. The waitress at the restaurant we went to even made the wrong change for a $20...

I was just in the States for a vacation and there were so many good deals! I don't know if it's because I go shopping more when on vacation or if I just don't know where the deals are in Canada, but it just seemed that there were so many discounts and deals happening. Anyways, I will just...

Just excited so I thought I would share. Recently, I entered Lotus Blossom Cookies in Martha's favorite cookie contest and I was one of the 10 that she chose. She announced the winners on her show today!

Has anyone purchased food only to come home and find something wrong with it? Lately I have had this happen a few times. I opened a box of Kraft Dinner (I like it once in a while :rolleyes:) and found that the cheese packet inside was open. Also, the plastic cover under the lid of my 1L...

I rarely think of even going to the dollar store and I don't know why. There are so many great items there for only a dollar! I found some really cute party favors for my daughter's birthday party for much less than at any other store the other day. What have you found at the dollar store that...

I entered my It's a Cookie World: Lotus Blossom Cookies in Martha's favorite cookie contest just for fun. I just discovered the contest today. The last day to enter is May 4th so, all you cookie bakers who would like to enter a cookie or two......go for it!

I often have to eat by myself even though I am married. I rarely get to enjoy a meal in the company of others even though it is one of the greatest joys in my life....to share food and good conversation. Is it me, or does food just taste better when you are in good company?

I work in a restaurant and I like it a lot. Some days I don't like it so much, but when I think about it, there isn't anything else I would rather do. How do you feel about your job? Do you love it or would you rather be doing something else.

I recently was reminded that I used to love eating chicken feet (when we would go out for Authentic Chinese food) as a child and now I can hardly look at them. I guess one weird food may not be weird to another.

Have you ever deliberately put a hair, piece of plastic etc. in your food at a restaurant just got get a free meal? I ask because I work in a restaurant and I never know if the customer is telling the truth or not. Sometimes we get people saying there is a hair in their food when the only cook...

I really love chocolate covered candied orange peels, but they are not always available for sale. I tried a recipe that I found on Food Network last year, but my orange peels turned out softer than those I find at Godiva's. They also took a very long time to make. Does anyone have any tips or a...

Since it is Friday night, I thought I would share what I like to put on my popcorn. Of course butter is my #1 choice, but it is not always the healthiest option, so here is what I do: Pop plain popcorn then drown it in Olive oil and toss it around in sour cream and chive powder.

Just wondering what others do when they get poor service at a restaurant. I always feel bad if the place is busy so I don't give the server a hard time and still leave a tip. I also don't bother saying much because sometimes there is no point.

There is a neat site where you can go and check off the only items you have to cook with and it gets recipes for you. CookingByNumbers.com It's pretty handy.

My favorite is creme brulee. I order it at every restaurant I go to that offers it, and it's amazing that no two have ever been alike.

Hi Everyone! My name is Calya, and I am from Canada. I love food, so I thought it would be great to be able to share some cooking tips as well as learn some new things. :chef:
