Nick that was amazing writing! Your descriptions, and little humorous interjections made it facinating - and riviting. :clap::clap:

Sattie - on your next order you should try the English Prime Rib Rub. I don't buy a lot of spice mixes but we love that stuff, it makes a bloody Mary perfect! Their Bangkok Blend is also really good - makes it easy to throw together a Thai influenced dinner - yummy on grilled salmon. We've...

We have a peppermill for white peppercorns, one for the 4 color blend, two for black pepper, and then we roast our peppercorns and crush them in the mortar & pestle. Roasting them just makes them so intense. I also have green and pink peppercorns. Pepper on strawberries with balsamic...

We usually just make enough for the two of us at one time. If there's any leftover I'll, maybe, have an iced coffee - but has to be before noon or I won't sleep. If there's any leftover and I'm making gravy or cooking a beef braise I'll dump it in. We're so fussy about our coffee that DH...

My Mom had this "recipe" for Noodles Romanoff - wide egg noodles, tossed with some onions that had been softened in butter, cottage cheese, and parm. Geeze I still absolutely love that stuff. Hmmmmm, gotta go check the date on the cottage cheese.:rolleyes:

Always fresh! I have considered the new crystals for "in a pinch" times - but they're always on hand - for drinks, cooking, everything! I have been known to buy bottled lemon juice when I'm canning tons of tomatoes - but that's about the only time, and I do mean tons and tons before I buy...

Marge you have a wonderful Daughter - she obviously loves John very very much, and you! She is a treasure. My prayers remain with you for strength and comfort. If there is anything we can do please PM me - we're not that far away! Sharon

Beautifully said, all one can add is; amen. Marge my heart goes out to you, Sandie, Chris, Tim, and Kevin. You all have my deepest sympathy.

Pot roast simmered in the oven in red wine for hours, carrots & onions added later, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Perfect.:tongue:

Ditto what Amber said. Marge you need to take care of yourself too. John needs his family around him - 1 1/2 hrs is close - and you can get some rest, see family and let them take care of you for a few days! It will do you a world of good and then you can go home - rested and stronger. Hugs...

Marge my heart is breaking for you! Please know that our prayers continue to be with you and your family as you go through this heart break. I know you will all treasure the time you have together and make the most of every moment. I wish our words could give more - just know that God's...

Marge we are continuing our prayers for you and John, and the family! Thank you for the updates!

The first time I made it I followed the directions exactly and it set up beautifully. The second time I made it I doubled the apricots and it set up perfectly - both times were with Certo. I've got more habaneros coming on, and some in the fridge. I've also got some dried mango and...

We lost our darling Frodo a week ago this last Sunday. He was in kidney failure, couldn't pee, and we had to give him an enema so he could poo. The vet tried everything - but there was nothing we could do but end his suffering. My heart is still breaking, and I wish he was still here - but I...

Oh Marge! I am so sorry, I've been away for a week and was shocked at the changes in John's health. We will continue to send thoughts and prayers your way! {{{{{{{{[[[[[HUGS!]]]]]}}}}}}}} for you and your entire family. I'm so glad your sister is coming out - while you are an amazingly...

Hi Barbara - we live in a house with 4 pugs, 1 cat (who seldom leaves our bedroom, for his own safety), and a large Staffordshire Bull Terrier (my daughter's dog). We have all been watching the Dog Whisperer on National Geographic channel - he makes so much sense, and his methods seem to...

Marge I am so sorry. I have been away from the board for a bit so I was stunned to read what the doctor said, especially in light of how much better John has been feeling. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you, along with lots of big hugs. (My ex has been diagnosed with...

Ours stays on the counter too. I have a lot of the canisters - going to have to get more. I don't use it every day - but we use it a lot - just bought a 15 lb pork loin, divided it into 2 good sized roasts, 2 large pork "chops", 6 slices in packages of 3 (perfect for Bob and I) for katsu...

We use tenderloin only. We do roll it in cracked peppercorns and salt and sear it VERY quickly on all sides and then wrap and freeze until it can be sliced paper thin. Heavenly.

Reanie hope is what we all have to hang on to. That and positive thoughts! Take good care of yourself and your Mom!

Reanie - I just saw this thread today for the first time. More prayers and healing thoughts are coming to you and your mother. Cancer is such a frightening disease - but amazing strides are being made and medical science is incredible. The most important thing, after prayers, is a positive...

Marge, our prayers are with you and your family. Being a care giver is hard work - and your family shows the kind of strength that it takes. Your daughter in law is a treasure! :smile:

acini di pepe is tiny pasta - about the size of a pepper corn (hence "di pepe"), a little goes a long ways. It made 3 generous servings - perfect for a light supper. Did I mention that we pigged out at :huh: Taco Bell while on the road for a late lunch that afternoon? :rolleyes:

I'm so glad! It was just as good for lunch today! The nice thing is that it's pretty much a pantry soup. Those are things that are almost always on hand, gotta love it. I think I might add a little more garlic next time - it really reminds me of a lemon garlic soup I had years and years ago...

Several years ago I got a set of cookbooks from Cooking Club of America. The recipes are collected from their magazines and when I first got the books I had grand plans for cooking cover to cover. Well things didn't work out that way, what with the health issues, the flood, moving onto the...
