Thanks. I'll keep this tip handy!

I'm forever grabbing hold of the handle of a hot pan, so I do understand those awful kitchen burns. I think, though, that Monday I topped my all time kitchen disaster. I had gotten up to get ready for work, and had let the dogs out. On the way back to the bedroom to put on makeup, I passed my...

Ouch! That makes my eyes water just to think about it. A couple of weeks ago, I was chopping what I thought was a green pepper for a batch of enchiladas I was making. It turns out what I had gotten in the bin with the green peppers was a chile pepper, and after chopping. I rubbed my eyes and...

:ohmy: Yikes! I definitely cannot top that one! Ouch, I can't even imagine the cleanup involved.

Well, I sorta would have to know where to go, wouldn't I??

And you didn't invite me????

It would be nice to be taller than I am. When I grocery shop, I always have to ask someone to help me when I have to get something off a top shelf, and it seems like the things I buy most are stocked there.

Mmmm, those do look good.

Yum - that or Keebler crackers. Great idea!

I'm also very short (under 5 feet) and it's already a stretch getting things into the cabinet. I also sometimes have to wiggle things off the shelf to where I can touch them. I'm just a klutz in the kitchen anyway, if there's an accident waiting to happen, I'll probably be there:ohmy:

Hi Bob! Your method is a little different. I usually just dredge the tomatoes in flour mixed with a little cornmeal, but I also use bacon grease. I wouldn't cook them in anything else! I'll have to try the egg wash one of these days. Another good way I like, is to make a batter of flour and club...

I love fried green tomatoes. It's hard to find green tomatoes in the store, but when I can, I usually buy a bunch and then go on a fried green tomato binge.

This is one of my favorites. I love to make a big batch, and take the leftovers to work for lunch. I always use Cheese Whiz. I see mbasiszta uses breadcrumbs. I think I'll try that next time I throw one together.

I've never seen them split in half, but it certainly sounds like a good idea. I'll have to try it the next time I make peppers. I'm not so sure I'd like sauerkraut with them, though.

Make stuffed green or colored peppers. Cook up your hamburger with some onion and garlic. Chop the tops of the peppers and add it to the mix, along with a can of tomatoes (fire roasted are my favorites). Cook some rice (I prefer long grained) and mix it all together. Stuff each pepper with the...

Good advice. I ought to pin that one on my refrigerator!

I can only imagine! I was putting a cannister of sugar up in the cabinet, and it tipped over. Unfortunately for me, the lid of the cannister does not fit tight. That was an awful lot of sugar to get out of the cabinet:wacko:

I've dropped my fair share of pickles too. Many times coming in the garage unloading the groceries, the plastic sack with the pickles invaribly breaks and I lose all the pickles. I guess that's at least better than dropping them in the kitchen <g>

Another one I remember from way back when I was first out on my own. After work, I made some wonderful lamb chops for dinner. And I decided to have potatoes and gravy with them. After cooking the potatoes, and while the chops were cooking, I made the gravy. When I sat down to eat, I stuck a...

I have several. I was making soup with canellini beans and spinach in it. I put half in the blender to get it smooth, but forgot to put the cap on the blender. The soup ended up on the stove, ceiling, floor, walls, and elsewhere. I cleaned up and finished the rest of the soup which I put in...
