Yesterday's Dinner Hi! It's me again...............that guy from CT who is learning about ingredients and methods. I made dinner last night. At least I tried anyway.

Yeah, ...........I knew there was, but.........since I have not taken over the meal planning yet, I'm still functioning under her meal plans. So "what's in the refrigerator and so forth, is still an exploration thing for me. -Nutmegger1957

Chief Longwind........I'll take your suggestions under advisement. I too "shovel" my driveway and walkways. At 55, I like the therapeutic value. -Nutmegger1957

thanks to everyone for the thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. -Nutmegger1957

Describe the knives, eh? Geez, I don't know if I can do justice to that request, but I'll give it a whirl............ I bought a set of knives for my wife years ago (perhaps 25 years or so) that came in a wood block holder. I'm sure (since we have always been modestly lower middle class by...

ah, we get to the heart of the matter............what is "cheap" in the Kitchen knife world? (THIS ought to open a can of worms.........lol). -Nutmegger1957

Andy, I don't disagree. However, I'm a fairly "outdoorsy" kinda guy, and have been sharpening knives for years. I'm sure I could do it just fine, if she would let me. I believe she knows I can do it...............it's just a possessive thing on her part I think. She certainly allows me to...

Hammster's suggestion that I make my own, is a great idea, and I will at some point. That said, I bought uncooked breakfast sausage links this morning in the grocery store. The wife wasn't feeling well, so this mornings breakfast of griddle cakes and sausage will have to wait till tomorrow...

I stood in Stop & Shop this morning in the aisle where all the kitchen gadgets, pans and tools are............I saw the prices on the various individual knives and knife sets. (We have a kitchen supply store in town too, and I've been there, but didn't price their knives. I figure THEIRS are...

Along with my griddle cakes, I'm gonna make sausage (wife's request). I can't decide if I want to get sausage that I can cut into patties, or sausage links. Pro's and Con's of each? Which is gonna cook faster? Which makes less splatter? What do I need to know with regard to the choice...

The wife has been our cook for 33 + years now, and her M.S. (diagnosed in 2006) has been getting the best of her lately. So, I'm learning to cook more than just burgers and pancakes, for the sake of both of us. Anything and Everything (there are always tools and gadgets out there that we DON'T...

As a "newbie" to REAL cooking (from scratch) I find "The Joy Of Cooking" to be "my speed." (I suppose that's sorta like saying I want to be a Painter, and I want to learn from Bob Ross, but anyway...........) -Nutmegger1957

"Chicken" scares me a bit........mostly because of the "Chicken Police" and all that. I guess I'll just dive in at some point. I was thinking of perhaps a Chicken Pot Pie, or a Meat pie with Pork (a tradition in our "French" home) as perhaps my first dish. Meanwhile, now that my "Joy Of...

thanks everyone, for your support and well wishes..............I'm trying to decide the next "real" dish to attempt. Suggestions welcome. I'm thinking that I should base my choice on what's in the cupboard at this point (now getting close to the end of the week), and not what I "want" to make...

Hi folks! I'm a 55 year old husband, father and grandfather, who has only now decided to cook anything beyond meat-n-potatoes and coffee cakes. I've started a Blog, (see my Signature) to chronicle my adventures. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions, and my share of failures and...
