Thanks Brooksy! Now, if only I could get my DH to REALIZE that he is spoiled;) Warm regards and continue to be, Lori

Ode to Pepperoni Pizza Meatloaf I, personally, do not like meatloaf. I, also, cannot eat pepperoni-they eat me:wacko: My DH's favorite foods are meatloaf and pepperoni pizza...soooo, I thought, why not create a new dish for his birthday! Here is what I came up with -He LOVED it...I left the...

Hi billmac, First of all, you state that you do use "cooking wines". I wish you would clarify that for us. If you mean the bottles in the grocery store that specifically state on the label "cooking wine", then I would say immediately toss those to the curb! The typical "cooking" wine is loaded...

What do you want to use it for? We maybe can be of more help if we know what yours needs are! Warm regards, Lori

GB, I am seriously having clam envy ! I guess the recipe would be determined by how many pounds of clams you have. Just make sure to catch all of the juice when you shuck them, and I would chop some and leave some whole. Reserve the whole ones and add at the end, just before serving. My...

First, use the right kind of shrimp. Either buy fresh, wild caught shrimp (pricey) or buy frozen, uncooked wild caught shrimp THAT DOES NOT HAVE PRESERVATIVES! May be hard to find in some areas, but it is available. The preservatives, number one, are not good for your body; and, number two...

Hi HTC, I have made plenty of jams without adding pectins, but it is always a "will it work this time" game. I am trying to stear clear of any additives, especially since we try to eat mostly organic foods. If you add enough "under-ripe" fruit to the batch, then you get a "natural" pectin...

Hi Alix, I am a nutrition adviser and herbalist and I have seen first-hand the effects of consuming "white sugar" on our society. I am not trying to get on a soapbox or anything, but I think that alternatives to the "processed food industry" are the way to go. Since I have converted my family...

I am looking for recipes that use ONLY honey for the sweetener in jams and jellies. I have been converting most of my recipes to honey and have not had much luck finding jam recipes. I also do not want to use pectin or sure-jel. Thanks for the help! Warm regards, Lori

Garage sales and church bazaars are also great places to get steals on canning euqipment! Also, check out your local Salvation Army, mine recently had a pressure canner for $5! Warm Regards, Lori

Lugaru, I would LOVE to have your granmas recipe for bbq sauce. Do you have it and would you mind posting? Mucho Gracia! Warm regards, Lori

I can't get it outta my head...

Catching up... Red wine, any Raw milk cheese, organic raspberry puree, raw fish, any kind of homemade bread, any kind of home grown, fresh herbs, homemade mayo, homegrown ripe tomatoes, organic lemons....Alton Brown or Anthony Bourdain?

I hereby hire philherb to rub me and hypnotise me before I die (well, heck, he could rub me now....)

At least your collection doesn't take up too much space...somehow, I have developed a fetish for rocking chairs (fifteen at last count, but who's counting!)

It is traditional and also very tasty ;) to add some freshly grated nutmeg to the dish just prior to serving. Also, for the best flavor, use parmeggiano regianno (sp). I love to add different ingredients to my alfredo to change it up a bit. Some of the winners are grilled chicken breast (or...

Thank you GB! I'm finding all kinds of new goodies and delights!:)

Thank you for the explanation Darkstream! I must say, all of this nookie banter is quite exciting:wink:

Master Chef Hey DC, Didn't anyone ever tell you that setting off the smoke detector is a pre-req for the job???:lol: Warm regards, Lori

Time Wow, all of the new gadgets are a bit overwhelming at first, but I am impressed with how easy the conversion has been. Great work Andy! The only problem I have is that the time is wrong. Maybe you are running the site in a different time zone? If so, is there an option so that the...

Hi all, I am craving a decent Fatoush. I have not found a recipe that tastes right. Looking for the correct olive oil/lemon juice/sumac ratio. Found a recipe that included Allspice, is this traditional? I have never had fatoush in a restaurant that had allspice in the dressing. Thanks to...

German Mustard Hello Darkstream, There is no TRUE German mustard recipe. Every family has their own recipe for German mustard, just as every Indian family has their own recipe for Garam Masala. I would suggust that you experiment (like I have been with Indian cuisine), to find the recipe...

Thank you to all who have posted replies. I am a great experimentor when it comes to cuisine and love to hear from those of the same ilk. Keep up the replies, and Darkstream, I am on the search for the publication you recommended...please explain the extended version of Middlesex publishing...

If you were allowed to own only ONE cooking reference on Indian cuisine, what would it be? Warm regards, Lori

Wow, I feel like I am FINALLY a member of the popular crowd! All of my favorite members of the group have posted a reply to this post! I like to consider myself an honorary member of the Daily Offensive Refractory Kelvin Society... otherwise known as DORKS! Our motto, "A blazing hot pan...
