I used to be able to visit DC every night. I haven't been around much lately because I've embarked on a new adventure in life, along with my husband Seth. I'm NOT writing this for accolades - I just want to update everyone on why I've been so scarce lately. I believe we are doing a good thing...

I finally got my hands on some real Bangers here in the U.S. I'm looking for a good Bangers & Mash recipe but not coming up with anything. If I don't find a good recipe with ingredients that I'm familiar with, I'll probably make Toad in a Hole. Any assistance with recipes for either of these...

Check these out! http://www.cassapole.com/ I think I'll have to have me some of them! :wacko: Corinne

Have any of you ever cooked a pound of bacon & then weighed it afterwards? I cooked 3 lbs of bacon tonight: ends & pieces, not strips of bacon. After it cooked I weighed it because I need 1 lb. of bacon for this recipe & 1/2 lb for that recipe. I was pretty shocked - from 3 lbs (48 ozs) it went...

We have a famous movie lines game & I watch very few movies so I can't play. How about a Song Lyrics game? Name the song & artist of the lyrics I post & you're it. You provide the next challenge! I'm the innocent bystander Somehow I got stuck Between the rock and the hard place And I'm down on...

Just found out that we will be traveling to San Fran in January. My husband will be helping to man one of the booths at MacWorld. I will be on my own for most of the daytime hours. Is anyone here from the area who can give me some info? I guess I'm just a small town girl & I don't understand...

Hubby & I are planning to buy a new mattress in the near future. I've been searching the web for some reviews & haven't found much of anything. I would like to hear of people's personal experiences. What kind of mattress do you have & do you still like it? I'm especially interested in hearing...

I so hate to tell you guys this, but my new job is not working out the way I had hoped. I'm very unhappy there. (At the nursing home.) I'm beginning to think that my "dream job" doesn't exist. I want to preface this by saying that I gave up a lot for this job, thinking it would fulfill me. I...

Apparently this is a text book. Anyone have any ideas on where I can get the latest edition for a decent price? I've looked on eBay & Amazon & just plain Googled it. The lowest price I'm seeing is around $60. Thank you! Corinne

Shane Michael Ray Kilhefner made his entrance into this world at 10:31 PM on September 18th, 1980 - 26 years ago. He left us by an accidental fall from his apt. balcony in the early morning hours of March 12, 2004. Happy Birthday, my beloved son. You were/are my pride & joy, the light of my...

Drinks & appetizers are on me! We did it! I was offered & accepted the job as Cook at the nursing home (Mystic Manor) today! I'm so excited!! Thank you all for your karma, prayers, good wishes, advice, suggestions - just everything that you all have done to support my efforts! It's been great to...

I had my 1st "interview" today, if you can call it that, at the Yacht Club. One of the first things the guy said was, "Let me guess, you like to cook & decided you want to get into it." Then he told me not to quit my job at the bank. (I wasn't planning to until I have a firm offer - how ever...

For most of my working life I have taken jobs that I've fallen into. Some I have really enjoyed. Others? Not so much. Right now I am in Banking & it's just not my thing - all the regulations & compliance issues, dress codes, etc really chafe at me. I just turned 49 last week & just yesterday...

Hi all! On Friday, August 4th, my husband Seth started a journey of almost 300 miles in 3 days on his bicycle. There is an annual event on the first weekend of August every year: the Pan Mass Challenge. Thousands of riders participate in this charity ride that benefits the Jimmy Fund/Dana...

Applebee's has a Thai Chicken Pizza on their appetizer menu. I really like it & I want to try to recreate it. The "crust" is a tortilla. I'm planning to just wing it based on the list of ingredients on the menu but I'm wondering if anyone has a TNT Thai Chicken Pizza recipe. Thank you! Corinne

My in-laws are on some sort of diet. Raw? Vegan? I dunno. Seems like all they eat are nuts, vegetables, & fruit. I guess seaweed is a vegetable... Anyway, Mom makes their own ice cream & she has used the item I mentioned in the title. She loves it & would like to get more. The price is a bit...

Today is my monthly meal for the soup kitchen/shelter. The menu is steak fajitas, chicken fajitas, Mexican rice, sweet corn cakes, & Taco Salad. Back when I first had taco salad - late 70's/early 80's it was simply crushed up tortilla chips, seasoned taco meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, & some...

I made enough of this for 2 cheese balls the other night - when I read the recipe, it sounded like a hit to me. Sent one to Bible Class & planned to take the next one to a work party the next day. Hardly any was eaten at Bible Class so I took the leftovers of that one to the work party - and...

I work at a bank - sometimes we order take-out from nearby restaurants. A few days ago we ordered from Applebee's. They have carside to go service. You call in the order & they bring it out to your car when you get there. This was my first time using this service. I asked others who had done the...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this comment or not. Anyway... When I'm looking for a new recipe, I usually start out with my cookbooks or at AllRecipes because I like to read other people's opinions & suggestions. If I don't find anything there, I will Google whatever I'm looking...

I wasn't able to find anything in the archives - can anyone help with recipes for these Chinese dishes? Thank you!:smile:

Another Chicago question. I told my husband that I would probably do some shopping while he was attending his conference. He assumed that I meant that I would hit the grocery stores. (When we go back to my home in Lancaster, PA & I "go shopping", it's mostly grocers & food places. I bring back a...

I bought a 2 lb bag of these things: IQF. What are these creatures?!?! I peeled them today. I peel a lot of shrimp to make Bang Bang Shrimp - :rolleyes: - so I'm really familiar with what a shrimp & it's shell feel like! These things totally threw me off. The shell was very thick & they seemed...

I bought a bag of frozen catfish nuggets a couple weeks ago & I want to make them for a Southern boy who's coming to dinner on Wednesday. Please share your best recipe/ideas on what to do with these things. I'm not having a lot of luck googling it. Besides, I really prefer TNT recipes instead of...

Cinco de Mayo party at work on Friday. I would like to do some Enchiladas but the only method I would have to keep them warm is a crock pot. Has anyone ever done Enchiladas in a crock pot - or kept them warm in a crock pot? I'm wondering what kind of adjustments I'd need to make. More sauce...
