Sometimes I see it sold but not always. I've run out and it's my favorite drink. I don't want to pay $2 per can on Amazon or ebay. Anyone? Thanks.

We had a great pasta pot - no idea where i found it - the kind with the interlocking handles to use when you poured out the water. It's Teflon coated which wore out and I guess it isn't healthy to continue using it ... but I can't find one I like better! The kind with the insert takes up too...

We went out for DH's 59th birthday and he requested Mexican. It was WAY too spicy for me but I think I could create some of the dishes at home, with a lot less heat. I had a rice bowl and he had a wrap type thingie. Anyone make Mexican style food at home? it's doable, right?

I have been gone for more than 6 years??

I saw fresh bay leaves in the store today; I always keep dried ones at home for soups. Does anyone prefer this fresh to dried? Thanks.

I am having some dental work and it's easiest for me to just eat soft foods for breakfast. I bought some rice pudding and really liked it, and thought I could make it myself when I saw a microwave recipe for one with peanut butter. It was way too rich and I think I will just stick to the rice...

I have something teeny from cough medicine that we use but otherwise, it's hard to measure a liquid ounce - that's just 1/8 of a cups, right? What do you all use ?

I see that the muffins in the bakeries are high and beautifully shaped whereas my whole grain muffins are flat flat flat. If I overfill the container, I just have a mess. Is it due to the whole wheat flours that I use, ya think? thanks

Last time, as I took veggies from the fridge for the kabobs, I remembered that I had fresh pears that woulodn't stay fresh forever .. so I chunked them, skewered them, and grilled them along with everything else. they were GREAT! Then, last night, I realized that we had some leftover...

Just wonder what your thoughts on this are ...I buy already peeled garlic in a small tub which lasts me several weeks. When I bring it home, I have been running it through a chopper so it's ready to use. Then, I saw a sort of Garlic Chopper, in which I could stick the...

My sister raves about it - the regular and the chocolate - and I got 2 12 oz containers; either at Trader Joe or WF, and .... drum roll ........ They are FABULOUS ! Has anyone tried them? You can add water and make your own no-fat peanut butter. You can sprinkle it on cereal or ice...

I have several cans of it and we aren't crazy about it. Can I use it in chicken like beer, or are there other ways to use it in cooking? Thanks

I have a fake Magic Bullet, bought at JC Penney a long time ago with a coupon, which I dropped a while back and cracked. I have a feeling that it's running on borrowed time so I'm looking at replacments. I'm not sure I need a whole system with the blender thingy, a bunch of containers, 2...

I looked around this site before I asked; I'm not sure what to do with my knives that are not that sharp anymore. Can I sharpen them or do they need to be replaced? They are the kind that are serrated. thnaks

I got a bee in my bonnet that fresh cinnamon would be better than the kind that is sold powdered. So - does anyone grind their own - and if so, what kind of grinder do you use? It is a big hassle to get enough to bake with? thanks.

I don't know when I got my last set of 3; maybe a year and a half ago? Anyway, I busted them all too, and I'm thinking that it's maybe time to go digital ... What do you all think? I don't carry an Ipod for cell phone or mp3 player; I'd have to figure out how to work a digital timer .....

My daughter has taken to eating a hot soft-boiled egg most days. I have only one really small saucepan, so I wonder where I should get more. I assume that just rinsing the pan isn't good enough to really clean it. I've looked around & don't see such a small pan anywhere. Thanks !

Yes, that's right. I might upgrade to a frost free freezer, no icemaker, and I will have to buy old fashioned ice cube trays. Should I spring for the covered ones? Think it will make a difference, except in the cost ? thanks

The Chef's Catalog has a sort of serrated pan that you can bake crispy french fries on. I think I want it !!! Anyone ?

DD reads cooking magazines and likes to watch cooking shows; lately she's been asking for Sage, which I haven't found in my local grocery. Any idea what to sub for the taste? She asked for thyme a while back, from the same shows and magazines, and we've been enjoying that. thanks

I use foil when I bake cookies, so I can't say that I wash ours .. at some point, though, when they start to set off the smoke alarm, I know it's time to replace them ! I can fit 2 cookie sheets at a time in the sides of our dishwasher, so I'm doing that over the next week or so. For the...

I usually make chicken once a week or so, and if I bake thighs (rather than cutlets), there is always fat in the pan. Sometimes I add rice to the pan of chicken which my daughter loves - I guess because the taste of the chicken fat greatly enhances the taste of the rice. She eats rice and...

I tried to send a PM to a member but the system would not let me. I'd mention the poster's name but maybe I'm not supposed to. What am I doing wrong ?

I see chocolate bark, both white and dark, and I was thinking - I have coffee chips, wonder if I could melt them and add stuff to it like a chocolate bark? anyone ?

I have a big All Clad one that I love but it takes up a lot of room in the dishwasher and I don't always need such a big pot anyway; I see now that very sweet 3.5 qt steamers are sold - Caphalon (part of a set) and All Clad, but the steamer part doesn't go far into the pot; I guess it's more for...
