    Recipe management software

    I have been using MasterCook for several years. I was contemplating switching until I got a copy of MasterCook 9. I love it, I can copy recipes from websites directly into MC, I can copy from a word processor, it has shopping lists, it exports easily, I can change a recipe from one form of...

    Some basics?? French Toast and cornbread?

    Cornbread is a much fought over concoction. Those of the Northern persuasion insist on putting sugar in it, but then it becomes Johnny [Journey] Cake. Those of the Southron persuasion generally know that for perfect cornbread you must use cast iron. The basic flavor of the cornbread can be...

    Vegemite banned

    As someone once said [I think it was Cliveb], if it's an acquired taste it isn't meant to be eaten :smile: . I think I've discovered why Australians eat Vegemite...it's from brewing beer :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Right Attie?

    Canned Pumpkin

    The Nov/Dec copy of Cook's Illustrated has a good article on canned pumpkin. It indicates that the Pumpkin Pie Mix are a "recipe for a soupy and overly sweet disaster." It also indicates that Libby's and One-Pie make for excellent pies. One year I made pumpkin pie from scratch and one using...

    Kitchen Aid

    Dave are you saying Shambles is in a shambles? I was going to suggest contacting KA, they've been known to repair a 20 yo mixer and replace another that was older. Yes, I'm going to go turn mine upside down :sad:

    Dinner Friday, Sept.29

    Since my kitchen sink is out of order [take the dishwasher into the bathroom to run it :mad: ] I think I'll do something simple like a home canned tuna salad. Were supposed to have the drain pipes replaced Wednesday...obviously haven't. Have you ever tried to get your dishwasher into your...

    Canned beans or dried?

    I always use dried beans and then cook them myself. Canned just don't taste right IMO.

    Hah! Hah I say. It's because y'all don't know how to cook a carrot cake that contains golden raisins, cranberries, walnuts, apple sauce, pineapple, etc., with Butter and Cream Cheese frosting the right way; or cheesecake either. I can make the tastiest carrot cake with frosting or Chocolate...

    Beets

    Up until last year, I would have rather gone out in the garden and eaten worms than have beets, especially pickled beets. Then my neighbor gave us some pickled beets in exchange for some home canned tuna. Most things I dislike I try every few years...I sat there and ate a whole pint of his...

    Pets - venting

    I have an 8 yo Golden Retriever named Buddy. He is a real joy. It almost breaks my heart when I go somewhere and he can't go and he's looking at me with those big brown eyes. I always use a training collar with him because if I don't he won't mind when on leash. I seldom have to pull on the...

    Handwritten Recipes

    I keep all of my recipes on the computer [actually 2 computers in case one dies] and I keep a paper copy. On the computer I keep three cookbooks going. One I import or type new recipes into; then when I have time I do a serious review of those and if I really want to try them they go into...
