Just rejoined the crock pot crowd. Tried Pot roast last night using a recipe from the owners manual. It was so bad that were I not certain it could be better the crock pot would already be on the trash heap. (just kidding I would have donated it) So once again I am turning to you sweet people...

ok - Rrreeeeaaching back into childhood.... Age 13 - 14 but still darned good: Very fresh white Balloon Bread - 2 slices - slathered with butter, one side then blessed with mustard, the other with Mayo, fresh crispy potato chips, American Cheese, sweet pickle slices and, if you're really...

Could it be Umami? You can find it online and it's also called "Taste #5"

I thought it was a grand idea and so much more quiet than metal or glass - however I baked a meatloaf and when slicing it the knife went through the pan! No more of that stuff for me!

It would have to be Chicken and Dumplings - great - now I'm hungry for that!

DH has been down with pneumonia so hasn't had much of an appetite. He's about chicken souped out so tonight it's seafood with pasta in a cream sauce and salad.

I've purchased an Herbed Rice mix that was really really good and I love their frozen oatmeal. It's the only oatmeal I can eat a whole portion of.

Last night I prepared Talapia for the second time. The first was a disaster (fortunately for me alone - it tasted dirty to me but I think the fish quality was not good). That was in Portland and now I'm living in Chicago - the Talapia is much better here! I searched here and heeded the advice...

I've used my "Seal a Meal" with tomatoes and had great results! The skin justs slips off and they are wonderful in sauces and salsas and even chopped salads. Best of luck! (since I just moved to Chicago and am living in a Condo a garden is not an option.....pine pine for my Oregon home!)

Love mine (but probably not the same brand - no cord on mine) I uses it to puree soups, stuff on the stove, etc. Just make sure the blender is deeply enough into the food to cover the holes along the sides of the blades, else it will splash all over. Be cautious about hot stuff so that you don't...

Ok ok - been hankering for some of this stuff for awhile! On my short list now - thanks for posting!

I have a 10 quart and a 5 quart - oh, did I mention I've moved to a MUCH smaller kitchen??? I refused to give up my pressure cookers, though. I love them. Very very tender and flavorful Corned Beef and Cabbage and New Potatoes in about an hour. Can't count the other dishes I've made - biggest...

I am a good savory cook but have never been greatly successful with baking - made one batch of peanut butter cookies that even the Doberman Pincer wouldn't touch! That being said, I found a wonderful book called "Got Milk?" and it has become my bible. I've since been lauded for my cookies...

Good for you Keith! Keep on Keeping on! If you never make a mistake you're not learning!

Toooo funny! My "Uncle" Dick used to ask me if I'd like frog legs for dinner when the family visited a favorite restaurant! I didn't believe anyone really ate them until I grew up! I've never tried them but after these posts I'm willing to try! Thanks!

It's been a long time since I've visited but cross country moves will do that to you! I've moved from Portland Oregon to Chicago! Prior to this move I'd never lived more than 10 miles from the Portland City limits - in fact less than 5 miles from my last address, talk about home grown! This has...

I love veggies but DH does not very much - he will eat them but aside from salads and carrots he shys away from them. I discovered roasting them - oh what a difference! Sprinkle them with a bit of salt, pepper and olive oil (oil first, of course) and roast them at a hight heat - they sweeten...

For my birthday dinner I made the perfect omelette - cheese, cherry tomatoes and onions. With toast, of course. DH was well pleased as was I!

No matter how obvious it is, if you freeze it and don't label it you won't remember what it is!:ermm:

You are an abolute darling! Thank you! My friend asks if the fruit cocktail should be drained? TIA again! lindtooo

My friend is seeking a recipe, probably from the mid-west for a cake that contains canned fruit cocktail. It was a childhood favorite of hers and the only person who had the recipe or knew how to make it is no longer alive. TIA Linda

I'm big in the YES camp! My son started stirring eggs at 18 months and stayed in the kitchen with me. He learned "Hot!" as well though I never held his hand close to coals - he also learned to follow instructions and Move! I vividly remember him telling a friend (he was about 9 years old)...

I use baking powder in a recipe for coconut shrimp - it helps the rest of the coatings adhere and seems to make them crisper.

I never ate it as a child and never had it in my kitchen.
