This has been a long-running game on other sites and thought it would be fun to try it here. The idea is to make a 'reasonable' sentence from the letters provided by a 5-letter word that is food or eating or kitchen related. To make this game more flexible, the word can be 4, 5, or 6 letters...

That time of the year & our tomato plants pumping out 8 varieties, so trying to keep on top of it, just did 2 large trays of tomato confit, a few jars worth of tomato chutney and a baked spaghetti, Italian sausage and veggie casserole using fresh tomatoes. Any suggestions for more ways to use...

If you're planning on smoking a turkey (as we just did) here's a suggestion for something to do with the leftover meat. 1 lb. smoked turkey, minced 1 onion, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 can Ro-tel, drained 1 medium can of corn niblets, drained 1 can condensed Campbell's cream of chicken soup...

I thought it would be interesting to know if the length of a book influences you when choosing what to read next. I admit that with very few exceptions, I'll pass up reading really long (500 pages and up) books as just don't have the patience to wade through that much verbiage. My execptions to...

Just wanted to say hello to those of you online in the "middle of the night". Not that many of us, but obviously a 'mighty' group! No, am not an insomniac, just lucky (IMO) not to need much sleep.

In the public domain of course, but many very interesting cook books for the recipes & procedures and historical perspective. Here's a link from Michigan State U. http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/browse.html Another site I posted previously is www.archive.org/ where you need to...

Ran across this article on a site calling themselves "Nation's Restaurant News", and the author of the article thinks the numero uno resto trend for next year will be "pie shops". Agree or disagree? I think there are other unlikely choices also...

Feeling bad about your not-so-happy relationship, don't starve, check this out. http://www.cracked.com/blog/cooking-your-doomed-relationship/

This particular expose took place in the Los Angeles area, but with the ever-increasing popularity of farmers markets around the country, it will apply to your area. So, the obvious collateral question to be posed is: tell us in 25 words or less why honesty is on the rise...

From their magazine, they did a survey of chefs around the country and compiled an interesting list of things that happen in the kitchen you don't hear about, or maybe want to hear! www.foodnetwork.com/recipes-and-cooking/25-things-chefs-never-tell-you/index.html

Never knew about the first six, as this is the 7th annual World Testicle Cooking Championship held in Serbia. And it appears that the 'tidbits' being cooked up are from just about any warm-blooded mammal... Watch out guys...

Or should really spell it "chilli" as unlikely as it may be, it was cultivated in England. No, won't be testing it anytime soon! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/09/hottest_chilli/

Thought this worth posting because of its very bizarre nature, if you consider what the chances are of all the confluences converging to make this happen, has to be one in a billion odds. And it's notable as the 'victim' was a member of ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), Mike Edwards AKA (he became...

Don't know if this has been posted before, but sometimes repetition is a good thing! If you like reading vintage cookbooks, then there are over 2,000 of them available as a free download in a number of formats. Go to: http://www.archive.org/details/texts When you get there, do a search for 'cook...

Could use some help please with this as can't "save" it in "favorites". I come in via a UNIX system and when logging on from the power users interface, it places me in the normal DC portal, and can't find a link to get me back to the power users portal. If there's a way I'm missing, would...

I thought this might be fun as a separate thread as it occasionally comes up in the Celeb Name Game, why not go "all out". Same rules apply for the next poster on: The next fictional character named must start with the first letter of the "last Name" (surname) of the previous post. Fictional...
