My husband just got his smoker set up o he wants to smoke the turkey. We'll have some kind of brussell sprouts, I do glazed carrots and parsnips, corn casserole that every year never turns out, but we make it anyway, kind of tradition. I usually do two stuffings, a mushroom and a regular, but...

For my family reunion, I did a homemade French bread pepperoni roll with homemade sauce and it was a hit. Simple and easy to transport.

Thanks!:chef:

Can you share the recipe you used? I tried a marshmallow fondant once and it was a disaster. The cake I want to make for my daughter's birthday is covered with fondant. (polka dotted as well)

I only buy unsalted butter, so I use it in everything. Like Andy said, baking is probably the best, but also for cooking, just adjust the salt you add to the dish for taste.

I was the same, Snip. No friends during the week, in bed by 10. My parents ran me around to soccer, piano, and more soccer. It was because of all my activities that I learned to cook. My sister and I had to have dinner on the table when my mom got home from work so we could eat and go to...

It's a hard balance as a parent now to make sure that your child has the technology skills they need to get by in the world and also to make sure they are able to be kids. I am constantly amazed by my 3 year old at how easily she picks up and figures out how to do things. She can take our...

Happy Birthday!

I used to go to the store, buy a bunch of stuff that looked good, and then make meals from that. We shopped biweekly/monthly. We wouldn't eat at home as much as we thought and ended up throwing away a lot of food that didn't get eaten. Now, I have to get dinner on the table as quickly...

I'll have to check this book out! I'm a science geek, too and love knowing why stuff works in cooking. I think sometimes it lets you be a little creative because you know what you can sub for ingredients. Have your read, "On Food and Cooking, The science and lore of the kitchen"?

Sounds yummy. I don't eat chicken livers, but I'm sure I could substitute chicken breast or other meats..

I was looking for a place to well, discuss cooking and found DC.

Thanks Bolas. My DH will be very happy.

If it tastes like flour, then it is probably too dry. Try adding the softened butter together with the sugar and mix until creamy, then add your eggs. Mix your dry ingredients together. Add them alternately with your milk. If it seems too dry, add more milk.

Congrats! Our garden was a flop this year. We have a few tomatoes and parsley and a little bit of basil, but nothing else grew.

Look at her go! Great job! Kids are funny like that. They refuse to do something and then all of a sudden decide they are going to do it.

The pond and garden are beautiful! Roses are my favorite flower as well.

My husband is from the UK, so he was very excited when I told him about the pork pie recipes. Silly question, but where do you get the jelly? I don't think I've ever seen it in stores. Those pies look so yummy Bolas. I'm looking forward to seeing the recipe.

I just finished that one. It was the first of hers that I've read. I'm reading Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice and The Man from St. Petersburg by Ken Follett.

Happy Birthday to them! That's so neat. They can never forget the other's birthday. My daughter and I share a birthday as well. Tonight we are having our cookout with sausages, peppers, onions. I think we decided on corn, asparagus, couscous. I may do some zucchini fries and some baked...

Ouch! I can definitely see my daughter doing that becuase she loves to touch things. Luckily, I don't sew and the machine is in a separate box from the stand. I don't think I've ever used it since she's been born. I'm surprised she even knew what it was. :lol:

My husband is home with the girls for the summer and sent me this conversation that he had with my three year old." Nora .wants to know how to use the sewing machine I said it was too dangerous for little girls but we would teach her one day. "I'm not even going to get hurt from this. I just...

I don't sleep anyway, so I'll pick sleep. Would you rather read the book or watch the movie
