and the pineapple and mango sauce too! What's in them?

Keri C. makes the best pizza covered with bbq sauce, PP, cheese, veggies. I have some PP in the freezer to try some tamales.

I forgot about this thread. But as a follow up, I bought the Keurig for my son. He brought it over one evening, and I bought one for him too. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed the Keurig. My son and I have bought different varieties, and I love trying new blends, rather than sticking to...

My Performer Story: I've been wanting a Performer for quite some time. I have the basic model with that pain-in-the *** ash catcher that is sometimes hard to dump and install. So I've been going to Ace Hardware since Christmas looking at the Performer, touching it, pretending it's mine...

It's been a while since there was a discussion here about this appliance. Bed Bath and Beyond has the B60 model on sale, my son wants one. Would be nice with the 20% off coupon. Would anyone recommend or not recommend it? Thanks!

When you bring the pork into the oven, does it give your kitchen/house a smokey smell (aroma)?? My wife doesn't care for the smoke aroma.

Does anyone have any experience using an inexpensive chocolate fountain, such as this one at Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AAYWN6/tvwb-20 Thanks

The B&B I used to work at had women owners, and they along with some of their friends were novice fly-fisherwomen. They asked me to pack them a breakfast they could pick up on their way out of town for one of their excursions. Seeing as how they expected something a little-out-of-the...

My wife thinks I need a pannini press to make sandwiches. I think it would be a "storage nightmare" to have another seldom used appliance. So, I'm thinking one of these things will show up for Father's Day, she's been keeping the Williams-Sonoma catalog close to her chair. My question: Do...

I buy my steel cut oats at Whole Foods, formerly a Wild Oats. When it was Wild Oats, they were $1.19/lb. I paid $1.99 lb on Sunday. It's still cheaper than McCanns. They must be getting very popular, they run out of them sometimes. We do the overnight soak also. If you start the...

Here's a couple of sites that have large quantity cooking: http://www.50plusfriends.com/COOKBOOK/cookcrowd/index-5a.html http://www.angelfire.com/bc/incredible/indexhundred.html When I worked at the B&B, I did a lot of breakfast stuff, and really liked things I could prep the day or 2 before...

Rita, I used to work in a B&B and did weekend events, and we did a lot of scalloped and gratin potatoes in round shafer liners. I had help in the kitchen, everyone peeled, they sliced and I layered. The mandolin blade scared the crap out of me and we didn't have the slicing blades for the...

I know it's too late, and I may raise some eyebrows, but.... I like scalloped or au gratin potatoes, but it takes a lot of time to shop, peel, slice, layer, sauce, bake, etc etc. My family loves (almost nearly as much) the boxed scallopped potatoes where you add milk and butter and let them...

I've never made it, but remember the time when Nancy Silverton was on Julia's show and made a sd starter with grapes. Here's a link: http://www.pbs.org/juliachild/meet/silverton.html#

I used to make the velveeta grilled cheese for my kids when they were small, and cut them into "fingers" with the pizza wheel. Speaking of "classic" apps, my sister brought Sausage balls (made with Bisquick and sausage) to Thanksgiving. I hadn't had that since the 60's. And now I'm thinking...
