We have mexican food place that serves (really good) apple pie w/caramel sauce and cinnamon ice cream on a sizzle platter so the pie and caramel are really hot and the ice cream is cold! Oh, it's really good.

Thanks for the tip!! I will certainly try it. When I cook mine in the stock, the stock thickens and turns into a kind of sauce, it is yum. Also, here's my tip: When cutting the noodles, I use my pizza cutter. It makes it go much faster, at least for me. Thanks hun, Katy

I agree about the starch thing, but they just taste sooo good w/the garlicky tomato sauce, meatballs and mashed potatoes. Is that a starch faux pas? Maybe, but it's awfully good!!

It sounds good to me too. My MIL taught how to make what DH's family just calls "noodles". Eggs and flour, mixed, rolled very thin, cut into thin strips then cooked in very condensed chicken stock. They are good, but I'm not the best noodle maker, so I sometimes wind up standing at the counter...

I started thinking of my gramma when reading this thread. She was a great cook who never owned a cookbook and never wrote down a recipe. She's been gone for 25 years but I remember everything she made was top drawer. Unfortunately her eyesight went bad toward the end and she had the...

We always had mashed potatoes and green peas.

Not a pro here but...I remember when my son was a baby and my DH was on his way home, I would put him in his high chair and pretend to do a cooking show for him. Even at that young age he knew how hysterical that really was, lol.

My friend just brought over 2 roast chickens w/lemons and onions inside. Plus mashed potatoes, corn and gravy. Smells great, I may not wait for dinner.

My mom never really got the hang of cooking either. Everything was "just a little brown" (translation: burnt). But she did make some mean porcupine meatballs. Yum.

Claire I agree w/freefalling about the extra thick cutting board. I know Boos makes different thickness and the one that I have is about 3" thick. It really helps w/cutting chores. And I also agree w/Breezy about the brace. I had surgery on my lower back when I was in my 20's and I became...

I'm sorry you're not feeling good, sweetie. But...braunswieger? Is that gonna help? I hope so, and if it does, let me know, ok?

The only organic groceries I buy are milk, cream and half-n-half. And really the only reason is because they last so much longer in the fridge. My family is very hit and miss w/milk, so it just makes sense to me. Other than that, I've tried organic produce and don't see the big deal. A big deal...

I like stewed diced tomatoes w/chicken stock, worchestershire, lemon juice and salt and LOTS of black pepper to taste. It makes a nice, light tomato soup, perfect for summer. As for cutting the acidic taste, I like to accent it. It reminds me more of a fresh tomato.
