    So if you blew up the lighbulb....

    ONLY I could do this..... Steaming the oven for my baguettes, I managed to spray water directly onto the lightbulb and it blew up with the bread in the oven.. :ohmy::ohmy: AFTER I pick any remaining glass out of the bread, should I worry about any "residual freaky stuff" from the said...

    How do you do hash browns....

    When I make them I just shred up potatoes and a little onion, mix, and set in hot oil, breaking apart after brown enough to flip. I'm using russets, not rinsing first. They taste GREAT, not a single complaint... but they look kinda gray inside and sorta gelatinous.... ok fine I'm all about...

    ISO a rich chocolate cookie!

    This is to go in hand with my cherry chip thread. I want a nice rich chocolate cookie. I haven't been very impressed with the few I've tried the last few years. I made one last year or the year before, but for the LIFE of me I don't know where I found it. :rolleyes: (ever wonder how I get...

    Cherry flavored chips?

    I bought a package because I wanted them at some point last year and couldn't find them after the holidays. They're just the cherry flavored white "chocolate" baking morsels. Now I can't remember what I wanted them for! :rolleyes: Any thoughts on what you would bake with them?

    Apple pie without a soggy bottom crust?

    How do you do it? My top crust is perfect. Flaky, yummy. My filling is homemade- not the canned stuff. The last few have left me with a pretty wet bottom. :ermm: Not inedible but I'd really like it not to be that way! Help?

    Hey JoeV! NYT as dinner rolls??

    Or anyone really... he's just so good at it! :smile: What do you think of this idea.... after the first 12 hour rise, lop off chunks and let them rest in muffin pans lined with cupcake papers...... Then transfer to and bake in another pre-heated muffin pan..... Would the cutting off chunks...

    Winter compost?

    So in about a blink of an eye, my compost pile will be a frozen block, and I wont be able to turn it over. I'm talking withing days. :mad: Do I keep adding my kitchen scraps to it all winter to just freeze on top? :ermm: I'm thinking all thats gonna do is feed the critters, not next years dirt.

    NOW what'd I do?!?!? (dried beans)

    I had no canned kidney beans for my chili. I had a bag of dried. CLOSELY following instructions on the bag, I did the quick soak (hot water, boil 2 min, let stand and hour), then the cooking for 2 hours.... after an hour they are close to mush and look like this. I'm sure sitting in the chili...

    Having trouble finding Flank Steak....

    You'd think the cheaper cuts would be easier to find with the economy the way it is..... Anyway... I have 1 more store to check but nobody seems to have them. Can I use another cut, similar? There are a few Guy Fieri recipes I want to try with it.... mostly braised I believe.

    So, I know I'm opening a can of worms here. I know, when in doubt throw it out.... and I usually only keep anything for 3 days. I made spaghetti sauce last Sunday. I thought DH had put it in the freezer... I just found it behind the cottage cheese. :ermm: Still ok you think? There's no meat...

    Honing questions...

    First off, I'm no knife expert nor care to be... I have a set of Henkels I love. I'm using an old hone from my gramma. Cheapie I'm sure. Do they go dull? It works, I think its 40 years old. Also, how often should I be honing? Dh says every use. My brother has the same knives and I can get...

    Using dried mustard for regular....

    I want to make honey-mustard chicken.... I'm out of mustard. I usually just take a 1/2 cup each of honey and a mix of regular and dijon mustard, mix them and bake the chicken in it. I'm out of mustard, I have powder. Not a fan of running to the store 6 miles away for 1 thing. Can I make my own...
