We had grilled pork chops, macaroni and cheese and fresh asparagus - a mini ice cream sandwich for dessert. coffee

I wish I had got to this section before I used the last of my Easter ham. I haven't been here in quite a while and probably nobody remembers me but thoroughly enjoyed the site before things started happening to my body. I suppose getting older does that to us but I hope to peek in now and...

I saw those and put it in my folder to try soon.

Years ago when I was still working and living in town, we had bought a new stove that kept mal-functioning. I called the appliance company and they were to come out in the afternoon when I got home. On that day I was getting ready for work. As I was getting ready the doorbell rang and I went to...

Some things I use the "planned over" method. We eat it one day as original. After that I may use it two or three different ways and may put some of it in the freezer to give me a head start at another time. We aren't like my sister's grandchild after having the big meal at noon and were having...

I search the internet quite often looking for a recipe. I consider many recipes a starting place where I can add or take away some things. However, with baked goods, I consider them scientific and don't change the recipe - at least the first few times. After that I may change parts of it but not...

Our church puts on what is called "The North Florida Passion Play" a week before Easter. Dh has been working there on construction, scenery and whatever else he has needed to do. This has really messed up our dinner schedule. We have a big lunch then he may eat crackers or yogurt just before he...

My sister makes a really good roast beef. She browns it on all sides in a bit of oil then puts it in the slow cooker with only a package of onion soup and soy sauce. Cook to desired temperature. There is enough juice from the roast to make au jus, or thicken for gravy.

This isn't a picture but a couple of things the above posts bought to mind. When our son was in preschool he came home proudly announcing that he knew how to spell "Indian". I thought that was quite advanced for a preschooler until he said "NDN". Also we had a picture of him in a little sunsuit...

Chef Munky, at first I thought you were a Floridian by your first remark but see later that probably isn't so. Our temps were 85 three days, the the high today is 51 and very windy - too much to cook out.

I put a beef tenderloin in to roast not remembering dh was supposed to be moving scenery this afternoon. He ate a hurried sandwich and I had waffles and ice cream. The roast will be tomorrow.

Thanks so much, Janet.

I keep getting the message Authentication .....and can go no further. How do I get rid of this?

Good job! I need to lose about that much but until my cardiologist signs off on a plan I'll just watch what I'm eating. Several things cropped up just before Christmas that had me really worried so I'm trusting him to lead me the right wayl

What is this "authentication required" thing that pops up. I haven't been here in a while and even tho I'm logged in it keeps popping up. How do I get rid of it? If I complete it it still comesback. Thanks.

I probably wouldn't have tossed it out either. I've only thrown one dessert out. I made 3 recipes of banana pudding for a family reunion. I didn't have a dish that large so I used an aluminum roasting pan. Just as I picked it up, the pan buckled and turned upside down on my kitchen floor. After...

I wish my grocery store stocked the very pretty crystal sugar that is sometimes put on pastry. I see it on their baked goods but don't find it in the bakery aisle.

Our grandson has been making them for several years now. He still enjoys that and his favorite time to eat them is for breakfast with a big glass of milk.

I've only recently started looking past the glossy eye catcher cooking magazines. For a while I was taking several only to find I almost never ade anything out of them except a big stack of unread magazines. My across the street neighbor somehow got double issues so she puts one of them in my...

They are actually easier to make than writing out the recipe. lol

This is a recipe I've made for several years and is very easy Apple Dumplings 2 pkgs crescent rolls 2 granny smith or other large apples 1 stick butter 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup sugar 1 small can Mountain Dew (I use Sierra Mist) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Peel and core apples and cut each...

Alix, I will post it. It is a very quick and simple recipe to be so good.

Thanks for the sympathy notes. I suppose eating veggies is what got Mom to her ripe old age. BTW, I'm one of the "crazies" that keep phone messages from relatives. I had one of my dad and also my brother. Mom never left a message but I knew I'd better get back to her right away.

I'm going to make some apple dumplings. Our neighbors have their house on the market and moving back north. They are under a bit of stress right now so I thought they may enjoy the dumplings.

Our day started out with heavy rain so I decided to make taco soup with all the trimmings. By dinner time we were having bright sunshine but the soup was good anyway.
