In the theater: Night at the Museum At home: Trainspotting (great film...less graphic than Requiem for a Dream, but same sort of idea...)

I've never done it in a brown paper bag, but I have baked my fish in parchment paper. Just make a pouch with parchment paper by folding. It keeps all the yummy juices and flavors in and it sort of steams the fish. I bet a paper bag is the same idea, and it would probably work fine. The...

Yum! A reuben-themed picnic basket bread would also be super delicious. I almost want to make a whole bunch of different kinds to experiment. My mouth is seriously watering right now...I must be hungry!

Gretchen, I have seen many versions of this recipe that change up the cheeses (swiss, provolone, etc.). I'm sure it would be great with any of them! Pretty much any cheese that melts well would work. I can imaging a Greek spanikopita-type version with feta...yum yum! I may have to try...

This all sounds so delicious! i have yet to try a brining...maybe this year for Turkey Day! Thanks for all the great tips.

Thanks! I took your suggestion and left the broccoli out. Rather than do broccoli with mushrooms, though, I did spinach with mushrooms. I think it will taste pretty good, but I'll let you know. I may try all those other mix-ins as well...especially the red bell peppers. That sounds mighty...

I'm making this tasty recipe tonight for a potluck. There will be vegetarians there, so I'm going to try a vegetarian version with spinach and broccoli instead of spinach and chicken. I'm a little skeptical of spinach/broccoli together, but I couldn't think of something better...so I'm going...

We also call them potholders ...or, as my mom calls them, "countertop savers." Also 'hot pad' works. :) I think the correct name is trivet, though. I always picture a fancy shmancy potholder though when I think of a trivet. Like, a mosaic tile that is some serious hardware. We have some...

:( Aw, that's my favorite topping! No ham on mine, either. I just love the sweet pineapple with the mozzarela! Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I know this is not a popular combination to dislike...but I really cannot stand mint and chocolate together. But mint and Nutella tastes pretty darn good to me...strangely enough. Further proof that Nutella really does go well with anything (at least in my case).

I'm also an overestimater...but I don't usually mind. I'd rather have too much than not enough. Sending leftovers home with people is usually the best bet (and if there are any singles coming, they are usually more than happy to comply!). 30 people is a lot! You should make enough sloppy joes...

...when the waiter/waitress refills my water glass several times before the entrees come out, without asking. Maybe this is my fault, since I never say, "Please don't." I am a compulsive drinker of water, so I always seem to fill up on water and not enjoy my meal. Also, when the...

I just started law school last week. Yikes! :wacko: My head is spinning already. Who knew that a person could read and process this much in a week! I feel like I should be ready to practice already. My course are: Legal Analysis and Research Contract Law Legal Process (Civil Procedure Part...

My sister and I just moved into our apartment last week, so we're still stocking up on basics. Tonight, I had some Chickarina soup (Progresso...I know, I'm bad for not home-making!). I also needed to use up some tomatoes that were fast going to be unusable, so I sliced them nice and thick...

YUM! That looks so delicious. I feel a spicy meal coming on for this evening...

Hehe, very funny! :)

RIP. He was a man who did what he loved and knew what he was doing. This was definitely a freak accident. I admire him a lot.

Next on MY list is some nice stemware! It seems preposterous to drink a nice pinot noir out of this:

I haven't personally tried swapping before, but my mother has (my dad has gained some unwanted lbs...)... She said it was disastrous! I think she mainly tried to swap the sugar in fruit pies and some cookies. I think it would probaby take some experimentation to get it right. I've found...

do you suppose that first one was staged? How mean if not....but "hehehe!" all the same.

Tilapia is one of those things that will pretty much taste just like what you cook it with. It doesn't have much of a fishy flavor all it's own. However, I really enjoy it! It's cheap and easy to cook pretty much anyway you want (although I would not suggest grilling it straight on the...

I just tried this recipe for nutella ravioli from Everyday Italian. It's garnished with mint leaves. Not a huge use, but the mint is surprisingly delicious paired with nutella! who'd a thunk... Chocolate-Hazelnut Ravioli 16 wonton wrappers 1 egg, beaten to blend 1 cup chocolate-hazelnut...

Chopstix, WONDERFUL! Maybe next time I'll try it with butter using your adjustments. I always feel a little bit guilty using shortening...but that's what my mom used, and her mom before her, so I hate to mess with the traditional recipes too much. So glad you enjoyed the cookies. They are...

I also drop my cake pans :) For a moister cake, I add a packet of pudding mix. Good luck with your next cake!

Ok, Chopstix, Here's a link to a thread that will help. Click Here Basically, you can sub butter for shortening, but expect a taste difference. You may also have to fiddle around with the proportions, though one-to-one may work (butter is 80% fat versus 100% fat for shortening). I've...
