Just a few of the dishes we have cooked.

I don't drink much milk and am Lactos anyway. But when I buy fresh milk of any kind, I have to throw it out more than not! Then when I need milk for a baking recipe, I don't have any! I hear I could use Condensed or Evaportated canned milk, or Dry Powdered to substitute for fresh milk. What can...

Toaster Oven I live in the Florida Keys, so we don't need to heat up the kitchen any time. Therefore the toaster oven is ideal for everything you would use the oven for. Last night I broiled Country Style Ribs (3), to get them nice and brown, then covered with foil and baked to make them "fall...

Just buy what you need, they are a dime a dozen! I've tried everything for freezing potatoes and nothing pleases me. They are useless to use after defrosting and ruin your good dinner! You can buy potatoes one at a time if you like!

I have an abundance of baking potatoes. I am wondering how to "save" them from going bad sitting around by freezing them. Peel? Cut into different sizes say for hashbrowns, cubed for soups etc, and then blanch them? Is this the best I can do? And will they be watery when I get them out to use...

Constance: It was in Philadelphia at a City-Line restaurant we used to frequent where I found this "Pittsburg" style of steak! So you maybe correct when you say Philadelphia style!

Outside, hot and a good deal of rain! I don't have ants, ever! This is a first for me because I spray outside and inside. I keep everthing clean and never ever even leave crumbs! Back to spraying after the rains and back into the refrig for the bread! After all we are in the Tropics here in...

ella/TO: What do you have specifically in equipment? You have a press and an indoor panini grill? What brands? And do you find them handy and good to operate? I'm asking because I am looking into purchasing an indoor panini indoor grill machine with which I can make the sandwiches and also...

Never had this experience before! I put some bread in a paper bag and put into another on the counter for today. And what did I find this morning? Ants in the bag with the bread having a feast! I didn't know ants would go after bread? I've been keeping my bread in the refrig and freezer. But...

What does your husband do that they grabbed him so quickly and have a position for him right away? What luck! Congratulations. You will just love Milano and the food there! Very nice and delicate! I have a dear friend who lives there and let me tell you the people of Milan are very prowd of...

Do it the way you discribe! They will be worth the extra time and you will have tender ribs and save the nice smoked flavor!

ITALY all the way! We have so many Italian-Americans here in America that own and operate so many bars and restaurants that they will be celebrating like mad, and we can celebrate with them! A very happy America! Can you imagine we doing that with the French? Bummer! (And I have many French...

You know you all, I must go see them and feel them at the stores. I just am not comfortable without this experience. I am going to the Restaurant Store in Key West, I know they will have a selection. And I am going to the other stores also, then I can shop in person or on line and know what I am...

Looks like I need some research becaue there is such a variety of prices! I've got to see what they all have to offer. Thanks, GB. ttul.

Yes, that is what I am talking about. Thanks GB, I'll go look at that link now.

GB: Is that what you call them? In other words when I go on line to look for one, is that the official name of the device?

Argentina beat Germany in every way except the final score! Germany today did not play well and the announces said so. I have watched all of the matches and saw Germany playing well in earlier games. with such great playing I thought they were unbeatable! Today Germany won in double overtime...

I just have returned from the doctor with some kind of infection! She (the Dr.) gave me two shots, one last week when I walked in, and one a week later. She had asked me what I did different and I couldn't tell her anything other than playing my regular game of golf that last Monday...never...

I'm still "pressing" with my two iron heavy pans. What is the name of the press that the people who make Cuban Sandwiches. Is there a specific name for this iron press by which you can press Cuban Sanwiches?

Zereh: You know in the past (a long time ago) when I first got to Florida from Iowa, someone told me that little trick because handling bread down here is different than anywhere else because of the humidity. I'll have to try that. And thank you all for the good help. I think I will also try the...

Swann: I'll have to try that next time. 190 for how long. Say two nice sized loaves. Do I still tap on the bottom to hear the hollow sound?

Swann: Okay, good suggestion with the smaller loaves. That makes a lot of sense. I made 8 small loaves gave away 4 and kept 4 which I froze in plastic double bags. I'll try this system to see if it works out for me. But what has the 190 temperature have to do with it all?

I guess I will try a couple of zip lock plastic bags in the fridg. I did freeze the other half of the batch. It does come back quickly and you can get what you need for the day in the morning, or when you go to bed. But I do think the refrig does dry the bread out somewhat. I will look for...

When I bake bread I usually make more than several batches. I always give some to my friends, but I always have some left over for the week or more. I put several loaves into the freezer and that turns out well. However, what is the best way to store for the week, lets say? Somewhere I read...
