AHHHHHHHHH!!! Now I understand what you all are talking about!!! The previous annual are basically the year's magazines bound together into one book!! I have a couple of years of Cook's Illustrated that are bound that way. The "Annual Cookbook" is different, it has all year's recipes reprinted...

Hey Corey123, sorry about your debit card nightmare. Same thing happened to me with my CC. It WAS a nightmare!! But.... it's like an addiction for me, I HAVE to shop there!! I have had other CCs cancelled for the same reason, hackers breaking into databases. I do understand how upset...

PytnPlace: Have you tried Home Goods or TJ Maxx? Sometimes they have LeCruiset dutch oven for incredible prices. I also picked two up for 1/2 price at one of the semi-annual William Sonoma sales. They were just sitting there on the "bargain table" begging me to take them home :rolleyes:

Thanks for the heads up, CandoCook! I have every issue of the magazine, but I'd love to get a hardcover annual for any previous years. I looked them up on Amazon, but the only hardcover cookbook was the annual I already have. Do you have the link where I could get them online? BTW - here...

Just a heads up, Fine Cooking just published their first annual cookbook. It has all the best recipes from 2006 in one hardcover cookbook. No articles, just recipes, but there are small tip and technique boxes throughout. Got it at Costco for $19.99 IT IS AWESOME!!!!

It was the main text we used at my recent Boot Camp. GET IT!!! Yes, you will have to do some basic conversions, but absolutely worth getting and using.

I was pretty upset about getting my letter too. I really loved that magazine!!! Thanks about the telephone info. I don't like any of the other choices either.

I can't say that I have an absolute favorite, but these are the few things I CANNOT live without: Shun 6 in. Chef's Knife - A sharp knife that is small enough that I don't cut myself, fits perfectly in my hand - gotta love it! Braun Mixer/Immersion Blender/Mini Food Processor - I use it...

I have a butter bell, been using it for years. It really does work to keep the butter pliable and fresh for much longer than just keeping it out on the counter. As for TJ Maxx, that place is dangerous, as far as I am concerned. Has anyone ever tried HOME GOOD?!?!?! They are the same company...

STORAGE SPACE - which I might actually be getting soon! - see above thread "Small Kitchen"

Another step forward in my (seemingly) never ending attempt at finding storage for all my kitchen "stuff"..... My Dining Room is a few steps away from the Kitchen. Originally it was a bedroom with built-in cabinets along an entire wall, floor to ceiling. A few people in our neighborhood...

The housing wasn't included, unfortunately.... BUT, you don't have to worry about meals :lol: ! We went with two other friends, a mother and daughter team. So we shared a Marriot Residence Inn suite, two bedrooms, two bathrooms. The college has a listing of hotel rooms where you get a...

I'll answer any questions anyone has! I wish I could tell you all how wonderful of an experience this was. The first day, when we were learning how to cut a mango and a pineapple correctly or learning the difference between all the different cuts used in traditional cooking, I thought it was...

OMG!!! How to begin.... OK, I'll give as much detail as I can. First of all, they days were LONG!! Roughly 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. altogether. Not all of that was cooking, of course. Here is how it worked: 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. = breakfast 7:00 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. = 1st lecture 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. =...

Hello everyone!!! I just got back, this afternoon, from my CIA (Culinary Institute of America) Boot Camp. I want to thank everyone for all their encouraging words before I left. You were all right. IT WAS A BLAST!!! There was no need to feel nervous! If anyone wants information/details/etc...

I've tried the liquid kind. It doesn't seem to do as good a job as the powder....

InTheKitchen - I wound up storing all my canned goods outside the kitchen. There is a linen closet in the hallway outside the kitchen, I store everything there, except my spices, vinegars, oils, and other small condiments. I have a small canvas shopping basket that collapses. I load up my...

Hey BreezyCooking, you mentioned cathedral ceilings, does that include the kitchen? If the kitchen was visually divided with a lower ceiling, you can hand all sorts of things from the ceiling!! If not, I liked the suggestion of having a moving cart that you can store in other parts of the...

Oh, and the reason I capitalized CHOCOLATE is because, although I put it last, I could live on it alone for weeks and weeks and weeks!!! YUM

LOL LOL LOL - some very interesting answers!! I guess I was thinking, if you were limited to only 15 ingredients for all aspects of cooking for a long while, which would you choose.... If I were in a true "Castaway" situation, I would have chosen to add a goat. To me goats are AWESOME! They...

I thought the Asparagus/Proscuito/Goat Cheese veggie was AWESOME!!!! For a main dish, to me, nothing beats a good Paella Marinara/Valenciana!!! There are tons and tons and tons of recipes online, just choose the one that sounds the best to you. NOTHING compares to a big paella pan, pipping...

.... which would you choose? 1. garlic 2. pasta (any, but penne would be best) 3. flour 4. onions 5. eggs 6. yeast (maybe not, could make a natural sourdough) 7. basmati rice 8. balsamic vinegar (the good stuff) 9. olive oil (again, the good stuff) 10. crushed red pepper 11. parsley...

There are just two of us..... if we are talking about having running water, electricity and gas available, I'd say about ....2 years or more!!! I have, roughly: 150 quarts of tomato sauce/marinara/whole (just canned) 25 cans of tuna 12 cans of chicken 12 cans of lump crab meat 20 cans of...
