Katie, Circumstances has kept me away from this forum in recent months, but I think of you often and keep you in my prayers.

Wow, haven't been hear for a couple mos. Love the new look! Have to check it out in more detail later.

Hope you had a great bday!!! (sorry I missed it. I check in sporatically these days!)

LOL! Just chiming in from the tail end!

If you don't feel like frying a sample, just cook a tiny amount in the microwave. Not much, just testing for seasonings.

Hey! I'm from southwestern Ohio!

OMG, Karen I am so very sorry to here about this. I can't imagine how heartbreaking this is for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I would put the herbs in towards the end of the saute. Just to release the oils.

Rancho Gordo Cookbook and a Lidia Bastianich.

Absolutely. My doggie, a big 70 lb mutt gets so excited when he sees the tree come up. He's like a kid, sniffing out the presents, wondering which ones are his!

Taking a break from my food prep to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm not in the mood this year. Usually I decorate every corner. This year just a tree. I have too much going on right now and decorating would just stress me out.

Tossing the apples and draining it are an interesting idea. I do a crumb top on my apple pie so I go ahead and brush the bottom crust with and eggwash and blind bake for a few minutes. This helps alot. I have a friend who puts bread crumbs or cookie crumbs in the crust b4 the filling to absorb...

Woops, I missed it too! Hope you had a great bday Michael!

Looks like I'm a little late. Hope you had a great bday!

IMO that sauce is to sweet to serve over pasta. But that's me. I make a version of the grape/chili sauce as well. I often change it up with different jelly/cranberry sauce etc. Also good with a touch of seasoning of choice and a spoonful of dijon.

Lol, Amy, I can't figure out how to isolate and quote one sentence out of your post, but . . . your welcome to come, although I don't think we would be dining outside!

Our dinner menu is a tradition I don't mess with too much. But our apps are always different, w/shrimp always on the app menu. We'll do turkey breast and ham (don't like to mess with the big bird anymore), my cranberry sauce (have to have that!) with red wine, ginger, golden raisens, etc...

Ditto to above suggestions. Just what I was thinking as I read your post.

I'm an angel. Better go tell my DH!

Pulled my pepper and tomato plants about a week ago. Basil at the same time. I'll have a lot of herbs that are perennials and can use them at least to Thanksgiving. Beautiful Indian summer this week. I'm off Wed so will pull the rest of my annuals and get my Pansies out of the pots and into...

PC are great for cooking beans/legumes.

I agree. Katie, I think you need to get yourself out there somehow. I know it's easier said then done. I do think that reaching out will give you something to grab onto.

I loved those cereals as a kid, as well as King Vitamin cereal.

I also store vanilla pods in sugar to make homemade vanilla sugar.
