Thanks, mionorth... ...for that detailed reply. Sound good. Larry

I see my typo, "Can you SLIDE meats..." sort of worked there, LOL. Anyway, thanks w, for cluing me in. I've often eyed meat slicers, but for home use they're a bit much... expensive and take up a lot of room... and then there's cleaning them. As for mandolines, I was given one as a gift...

Anybody slide meats on a mandoline? I wonder if anyone will still get a notice of new activity on this old thread. For all the discussion about mandolines, no one said a word about cold cuts. Does anybody use the mandoline to thinly slice meats for sandwiches? To what success?

Actually instructions were included, but the pie is sold fresh and they didn't address cooking it frozen. As for Costco, there's much I dislike about it, but I think you've sold their meat department short. I'm not a studied expert on it, but from what I can tell, I think their meat department...

Thanks!

This is to thank all the wonderful people who replied. I'll attach this to the one who replied first, as you all had essentially the same answer. That's great! And again, many thanks. Larry

I've seen conflicting advice about this at various internet links. If someone who is actually experienced in this can answer fairly definitively, that would be great. I bought this HUGE uncooked, unfrozen chicken pot pie at Costco. It has a bottom pastry crust and wide pastry lattice strips on...

Thanks, JMediger. I will soon have more rhubarb to pick, so look forward to trying the suggestions!

Apparently it moves through either air or water. Is it water? No, wait... forget the above... The little stand looks more like a permanent display stand, not a way to store a tool that you drag through water for some reason. Therefore I guess it's a useful thing that's merely in the shape of a...

I only use fresh rhubarb. The suggestion of putting the flour mixture on the bottom, first, sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

Sounds like a great suggestion, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll try that!

The answer I think we should name the winner Les. You're up next, Les. The headrest is used in certain tribes of southern Ethiopia (Omo Valley). Perhaps elsewhere too, but I wouldn't know. From puberty on, every man carries one at all times. It is used as a headrest to protect the elaborate...

A bunch of softies, eh? ;-) Each man in certain African tribes carries one of these with him at all times. This is in tribal areas still largely untouched by modernity, where the people still live and dress much as they have for centuries. You've already guessed what they use it for during...

No, Katie, not a prayer or yoga stool. I'm new to this forum; how long should I wait before giving more hints or telling the answer... anyone?

No, Les, not a tool. Cara, these things are about 7" high. Have you tried sitting on something that low? Quite difficult for most of us. Nevertheless you're on the right track with that guess. To win, be more specific and name both uses of this item. Hint: in a parts of the world, every man...

What is this? What is it, and what are the two ways it's used?

I joined this forum today just to ask this question. What is going on with my rhubarb pies? I prefer the straight-forward pie, not custard, no strawberries; I just want a great rhubarb pie like my late grandmother made 50 years ago. No matter what recipe I try (and they are all basically the...

Yes, Mexico City, but.... I think it's the Metropolitan Cathedral in Constitution Square ("Zocalo"), but perhaps it is also known as "Our Lady of Guadalupe," I don't know (in which case the other poster would be the first correct answer). You can see the Aztec dancers that are always in the...
