Kids descend on our place after school every workday until their parents come to pick them up after work. A boy who graduated 2 years ago still comes by to visit fairly often and wants to bring his new girlfriend to our place for a "date" this afternoon. Obviously this is a big honor for us...

I am trying to make a family recipe chicken dish. I have the recipe given by my mother, to my wife, and it is written in Italian. It starts with, "Sciopero rendere facile a pollo" which means "beat the chicken to make easy" in exact translation.......but the intended meaning is to tenderize...

Tomorrow is my wife's 26th birthday. I am taking her skydiving for the very first time. A small gathering of friends who will be awaiting our arrival at our house will have a surprise party for her when she walks in the door. I am looking for ideas for a special meal or dessert I can prepare...

My parents always accused me of being Socratic. I would frequently, and often just to annoy them, would answer questions, with another question. My mother would ask, "Why do you always answer a question with another question"? My response, "Why shouldn't I"? Hopefully you can see the game...

A woman is walking through a castle. She comes upon a portrait of a gentleman. She says to herself, "This man is not my father. But his mother, is my mother's mother-in-law." How is the woman related to the man in the portrait? Hint: It's easier than you think.

Ok....I'll admit that that pot roast in the crock pot didn't turn out all that well. The meat was moist and tender and fell apart easily. Not much for flavor though. Confession time: we ate it but didn't enjoy it that much and Sveta (my wife) made us some sandwiches a couple hours later...

If you've ever studied a different language, you'll know that the most difficult nuances to understand are idioms. This is a constant struggle for my wife and me. We play a game with the children who hang out here during the weekdays to teach us new idioms. I even have an app on my droid...

My family owns a vineyard and winery in south central Italy and when we work in the fields during the summer, my mother would bring us snacks and drinks. This is a salad she makes that we make here at my house and our guests like it. It is just my way of saying "Thank You" to all of you who...

You all have been so helpful that I feel badly asking again for help. I would not ask if I was certain of the steps and ingredients. I purchased a 2.45 lb beef roast today that I am going to put into the crock pot shortly. I read some instructions and it sounds easy.....but I am not...

I know this probably doesn't sound like a big deal to many of you but this is my first time trying to make something that isn't a sandwich in the kitchen. I'm open to constructive criticism and any tips. I used to play on a sports team and after the games a lot of husbands & wives would go...

Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. Love to cook, but unfortunately not very proficient. I'm retired (sort of) but my wife works and to take some of the burden from her, I want to learn to be more kitchen savy. Also, please excuse my English as some grammar and symantics are...
