I had the turkey discussion before Thanksgiving, I think, so rather than re-hash it, I thought I would show my wife's work on the biggest turkey she has microwaved to date, 17 lbs. Ready to start: Other side: He easily fit in our big Sharp oven. This time I talked her into using...

My wife woke me this morning bemoaning her cold coffee! She stores it overnight in the fridge, tosses a cup in the big Sharp microwave first thing next morning, no time wasted brewing. No heat. I checked it.......convection OK, micro, no heat. My electronics studies from many decades back...

My wife has been "keto" for over a year now. We have had no potato chips, bread, flour, sugary things, in our abode for months! Recently she made some pretty good peanut butter cookies, nearly reminiscent of my Mother's buttery wonderful ones from my youth. Shall I post this recipe? I imagine...

This is my Mother's original meat grinder, which I recall being used in her kitchen from as far back as I knew what it was; she likely got it in the 1930s or maybe early 1940s. [/url][/IMG] I have all the cutters, and the old box she kept it in, actually a shoe-box she had lined inside and...

Awhile back, I found a tub of this stuff tucked back in our fridge; my wife did not recall when or why she bought it, and had not used it. The label was enticing, less than half the calories of typical spreads like margarine or butter. "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter" was it's actual name. I...

Your domestic water supply......do you drink it, cook with it, only flush and shower with it? Asking, just to compare our own situation. Mohave Desert, arid, hot, parched, yet we live here and have abundant water derived from private company-owned water suppliers. Ours is Bermuda Water Co. The...

My Mother made the most wonderful baked Tuna Casserole I've ever tasted. All I can remember from when I was a kid is that there were no noodles or pasta in it, I think maybe potatoes (my wife says emphatically "NO"!) were the bulk of it, cut up in small chunks, maybe some kind of thick stuff...

Anyone partake of home-brewing or wine-making? This time of year, I get the yen to catch a post-turkey day sale of Cranberries. Last year our 99-cent store had a mountain of Ocean Spray lb. bags, two for a dollar! I "mash" them using my wife's blender: [/url][/IMG] The "primary fermenter" (I...

How does one post an avatar? I am unable to find such option, though I did get an image in my Profile. Thanks! imp

It occurred to me having just seen a "cookware" sub-category, that my wife sold special Corning Ware utensils having a metallic sort of plate molded into their inside bottom surface. Purpose was to "sear" whatever was being cooked in a microwave oven, just as though it had been in a fry-pan...

Sorry, I posted in advance of seeing the "New Member" place, so........ Hard-headed old goat here, been "around the block" far too many times, suffered lifelong confinement in my "bottle", kept there by "the system", "the man", the "time-clock". Released upon retirement! Best thing that ever...

My wife way back when, sold microwave ovens at retail for stores which sold nothing else (except accessories), Friedmans Microwave Ovens. We were in Phoenix/Mesa then. As part of the new requirement for her, she was given the assignment of becoming the stores' new microwave cooking teacher...

Hi! If there is a new member intro place, I've missed it! Anyhow, I have questions my wife will not answer, regarding cooking. For the book, I am a retired Engineer, have always "needed to know" just about everything about all I do. Cooking is no exception. My wife is an aficionado of...
