    The Decorah, Iowa eaglets hatched

    Oh man, I'm hooked!!!! Also checked out the other live cams on explore.org (the site with the north Decorah nest). There's an easy way to lose yourself for hours! Thanks for sharing.

    Best flour for bread machine and pizza?

    ^^ Yup, what Andy said. The brand doesn't really matter - it's the type. That being said, I usually go with Robin Hood myself. I love the logo, plus my mom used to buy it. :biggrin:

    What's your Easter Dinner?

    :rofl: Truer words have never been spoken! We did a turkey dinner last night. Hubby's mom & sister came out to visit for the weekend, but since they had to fly home tonight we had dinner yesterday. We stuffed various herbs under the skin of the bird and let it slow-roast all afternoon. It was...

    Favorite spice or herb?

    How yummy - dried, ground porcini mushrooms! I'm definitely going to be giving that a try!!

    Favorite spice or herb?

    Basil, for sure!! No matter the size of my spice collection, I almost always reach for the basil to start with. Garlic would definitely be a close second though. They both go with pretty much everything! :yum:

    Baingan Bharta (Eggplant curry)

    Definitely need the paneer! We have a large Indo-Canadian population in my town and surrounding area... which means many of their tasty food items are readily available in my local grocery store. A Punjabi friend brought over shahi paneer for dinner last year and it blew my mind. I've been...

    ISO Help - Meatloaf

    Couldn't agree more!! My own recipe box was a gift from my mom when I first moved out on my own. She gave it to me with a hand-written poem on the front and filled with several cards of recipes we made together when I was growing up. It included recipes passed down from my grandmother and...

    What will be Growing in 2015?

    I started my seeds at the beginning of February. So far I've got peppers (Cali wonder, jalapenos, habeneros, scotch bonnets, poblanos), onions (yellow & white bunching), spinach, lettuce (red looseleaf, buttercrunch,mesclun mix), beans, pumpkins (small sugars, Caspars, Jack be little), basil...

    Fish dilemma - how not to waste it

    I married a strange creature... he talks big about making and sticking to "weekly menus", but as the week progresses he changes his mind from day to day. Being as I hate food waste, the meat gets used - just not necessarily in it's intended recipe. He's very wishy-washy when it comes to...

    Sriracha

    Same here. I'm a hot sauce fanatic - there's currently 13 different bottles in my fridge. Whenever I see a brand of sriracha I haven't tried, I always pick up a bottle. But nothing ever compares to the good ol' Rooster! Surprisingly, the variety made by Frank's is my least favourite... and the...

    Fish dilemma - how not to waste it

    What a great idea! I'm always worried about meat spoiling after I've defrosted it... and hubby is notorious for changing his mind on dinner once I've defrosted something. I usually just give it the sniff test after a few days. :ermm:

    Stop cooking with plastic cookware, time to switch to wood! Have you made the leap?

    I have those too! I stumbled across the Betty Crocker stuff by accident one day... and now own most of the gadgets from the set. I love Dollarama! It also feels weird to cut on, in my opinion. The knife touching the glass gives me that "nails on a chalkboard" feeling. That being said, I have a...

    Fish dilemma - how not to waste it

    If I only had a dollar for every moment like that I've had after coming home from the grocery store! :lol:

    Greetings!

    Wow! As Kayelle said, that is quite the climate change for you!! Welcome to Canada and to DC. Both are very friendly places to be. :smile:

    Wedding dessert problem

    Agreed! You can get the bakery or catering company to make an assortment of treats, as desired, but without you needing to worry about it. It also means you will have more free time once you arrive to spend with your daughter or getting ready. Congrats!! :smile:

    Catalina dressing, what's in it?

    I'm not normally a fan of Catalina, but that sounds delicious! Definitely going to give that a try next time we whip up taco salad at home. :yum:

    8 Foods Even The Experts Won’t Eat

    But other foods HAVE been linked to cases of food-borne illnesses, as my link illustrates. My link shows a table which breaks down each case of reported food-borne illness into the food groups which caused it. A sense of proportion is exactly what I'm trying to show here. Sure, sprouts have...

    Dinner Friday 3-6-15

    I've been battling a nasty chest cold and sadly haven't had any sense of taste for the last couple days. To my hubby's credit, he whipped up a batch of my favourite oven potatoes to try to make me feel better. Potatoes are cut into bite-sized pieces and parboiled. Then they are tossed in oil and...

    8 Foods Even The Experts Won’t Eat

    Being someone who absolutely adores sprouts - from beansprouts in a stir-fry to alfalfa sprouts on a sandwich - I had to look into this more. If you're worried about sprouts causing food-borne illnesses, then you might want to quit eating produce altogether. According to the CDC, sprouts and...
