If you are not going to use your shredded lettuce right away it will turn brown due to a reaction with the metal knife or metal food processor blade. There are two ways I know of to get around the browning issue. The first way is to treat it with an antioxidant. This can be either crushed...

I am in complete agreement on measuring. Baking ingredients must be precise. I have noticed quite a difference in results being just one or two tablespoons off when measuring flour. It's definitely worth the trouble to be very accurate when baking.

If you want a different version try this: Buy some decent submarine rolls. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Generously butter the inside of the rolls then sprinkle very generously with garlic powder. You need a lot of garlic powder so don't be skimpy. I would say it takes about 2 teaspoons of...

If you would still like suggestions I was thinking you might start with deep fried potato skins with melted cheddar and bacon bits then serve the chili and bread. Just a thought. The potato skins are always a hit whenever I've seen them served. Jeff

I'm with you Barbara. I love pickled beets. Do you make your own? Jeff

That could be the reason I can't duplicate Mom's recipe. Her spaghetti and meatballs are great. She shared her recipe with me but I can't seem to get it the same as hers. I like mine but hers is much better. Sigh.

Yeah, why spoil perfectly good hot fudge sauce with ice cream! Hot fudge sauce is one of my favorite vices although I rarely indulge. My sister owns and operates an ice cream truck. Her fudge sauce is heavenly. I have been tempted to buy a big can from her but so far have not succumbed to my...

I remember eating Wheatena too and yes, it was very good. I had forgotten about it as you did. Thanks for bringing it up. Hope you find some soon. Jeff

I'll have to say Chicken Parmesan. Of course a big bowl of hot fudge sauce is sublime!

This thread is funny. I like it.

Cornstarch and water is what I was thinking too. It won't affect the taste either. Jeff

I have tried it but not to get rid of bitterness. I was trying to make the coffee more flavorful and the salt did make a welcome difference. If you perceive your coffee to be lacking try just a little. You will probably like it. Jeff

I cook my pancakes on a Presto electric griddle. I have tried different temperature settings and find 325 to be the best. Although I do like this griddle I have to say that it does not heat evenly. The area that is over the heat element is hotter than the rest of the surface, as you might...

I'm the same. You have to be considerate of other people. I've noticed people in the supermarket squeezing the self serve donuts who lick their fingers then keep on squeezing donuts and not buy them leaving them for someone else. Gross. Jeff

Good point. Jeff

The term "red-eye" comes from the little red circles or "eyes" of grease that form in the gravy. Here is a recipe you might like: A few drops of vegetable oil 8 slices (1/4-inch thickness) raw country ham 3/4 c. black coffee 1 tsp. granulated sugar Heat a large fry pan over medium heat with...

Yeah, that is way too much sodium for anyone, even those with normal blood pressure. A high sodium intake is not good for anyone. Where I live we used to be able to buy microwaved potato chips that had no added salt and of course no fat. They were very good but apparently not too popular since...

It does seem odd that someone would outright ban any seasoning. In my opinion black pepper does have it's place. It adds a certain dimension to some foods that I don't think can be duplicated. Jeff

Sure thing. If you do venture further along with this please let us know how you made out. Jeff

Hi, I was wondering if the liquid pectin worked for you. I have used powdered pectin as a binder for baking items that tend to have a loose crumb and fall apart. The pectin did the trick. Since you said you are wanted to thicken something that is already a bit too loose I would have used...

Biscuits Lisar I don't know if you are looking to make biscuits from scratch or not but I always use Bisquick to make my biscuits. Actually, it's not authentic Bisquick. I make my own mix and it works just as good without the transfats. The biscuits always turn out great. They are not dense...
