I took the ServSafe course in Baltimore a few weeks ago. I came out of the exam feeling really good, but I still checked the mailbox twice a day for my results. When I checked yesterday afternoon, there was my certificate. Proof that you really can teach an old dog new tricks. :lol:

I hope I have this in the right spot, if, not, please move it If it has been discussed before, please point me in the right direction. .:cool: I was looking at Alix's recipe for Granola, but don't have enough coconut or canola oil. I do, on the other hand, have a bottle of Coconut Oil. It's...

It's good to be back, even if only for awhile. As some of you may remember, I'm moving to VA the end of December. It's very hectic winding down at work ( I have 21 more work wakeups), and trying to sort out the house. It will take me awhile to read what everyone is up to. It feels good to...

We had planned on getting married next July, but decided for a variety of reasons (immigration for me being one) to get married now. So when I was down there, we decided to do it. On July 3rd, at 11:45am, in the gazebo at the Inn, we were married. We had to work breakfast, so I left the Inn...

I'm making a dish ( a real homemade concoction) that I use cocnut milk in. I always end up with at least half a can leftover. So, my questions are, can it be frozen? What do you folks use it in? Thx!

Back at my Mom's in Quebec, we'd pick them outselves. Here, I have to rely on the grocery stores. I bought the first ones of the season on Sunday. Steamed with a bit of butter, S&P, they were fabulous. Does anyone else cook them?

In Canada, this Monday is a long weekend in honour of the late Queen Victoria. For me, it's the offical start to summer. So, Happy May Long Weekend to all who have Monday off. ( I know some have to work though). Have fun and be safe. :smile:

Every spring we get black birds in the yard. They fight with the cats and scare off all the little birds, so I have never been partial to them. They also crap all along the side of the pool. Or so I thought. I always wondered how the crap was aligned so perfectly. Come to find out.... My...

They were here when I got home from work today. I love it when they come to visit, because they are so easy to have around. I on't have to entertain them at all, but they do love their food! They are here for a few days again this spring. They are paddling around in the pool, and get out to...

It's tomorrow night, and it's the talk of the town here. Just wondering if anyone else is participating. 8 pm is close to my bedtime, so I won't have a problem with lights out. :lol: Here's a link: Earth Hour US - Earth Hour 2008

Wow! I just got mine. I don't know how often it's produced, but this one is great! Loved the interview with IronChef, and as usual did very poorly on LT's "Lucky Guess".:lol: The featured recipes look great. I was just really happy to see the newsletter again. Thanks to all who worked on it!!

I know ya'll are just getting over Thanksgiving dinner, and probably don't want to think about Christmas. But, if there was just 2 of you for Christmas dinner, what would be your fantasy meal? I'll only have one day to shop, but I will have acces to a pro kitchen. :smile: Looking forward to...

Ol-Blue asked for this recipe. I got this recipe from a pamphlet in a box of Bernardin Jars. They are the Canadian version of Ball Company. They have lots of great recips on their site, homecanning.ca or homecanning.com. Make sure you wear gloves when handling the habaneros!!! 1/3 C...

A co-worker asked if I had a good recipe for cranberry salad, so I gave her mine. I found out today, she cooked it down, then proceeded to take off all the skins, strained it, added some gelatin, and made a jellied one!! I howled when I heard that!!!!

Here's the Corn Pudding. If you have fresh corn, grilling it adds a nice smokey flavour. You can add things such as cooked bacon etc, but I like it plain. It has a souffle like texture. Makes about 6 servings 3 T butter 2 cups corn kernals (thawed and drained if using frozen) Pinch each...

My two cats have always slept on their blankies in the hallway. The older one has decided my bed, and especially my beautifull thin, pure wool blanket from Turkey is a great place to sleep. I have no problem with that, except She snores. She wheezes. She grunts. She groans. She stretches...

Tntvermillion asked for the recipe, but I wasn't sure where to put it, preserving, fruits, desserts?? So, if I'm wrong, maybe one of the Mods could move it for me. Thx. Here you go. I buy the local, fresh cherries when in season at the farmer's market. They need to be ripe but not mush. Wash...

Firstly, I hope I'm posting in the right spot. First time I've started a thread . I've planted Shiso for the first time this year, and after planting my 3rd batch of seeds, I'm going to have a bumper crop. Yeah! Do any of you grow it? And if so, what all do you do with it? Thanks!

I've been lurking for awhile, and decided to join in the fun.:smile: Let's hope my cooking is better than my typing, I somehow put a "p" in my name!!!!
