>Amazing that marriage lasted 5 >years. Amazing that man LIVED for 5 years (whether he deserved to or not is an entirely different issue x}>). p.s. Another don't: DON'T cook a canned ham in the can. Okay, I didn't do that -- even I'…

DO NOT make your first cake in your first apartment and then set it to cool on top of the stove and accidentally turn on the stove burner it's sitting on. My then-roommate and culinary co-conspirator (who has been my best friend since we were 17, an…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-13-05 AT 11:55PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Beagle, here's my suggestion: The night before you want to have tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch, make the grilled cheese sandwich the regular …

I don't recall the scalded milk technique, but I think my grandmother, the Velveeta Lady, had the world's easiest mac and cheese recipe: Layer the hot macaroni with slices of Velveeta and it's done.

This was a big hit at my cocktail party last night (the 6th instead of the 8th as I previously, mistakenly stated). Thanks, Inelson; it's a keeper.

Well, it's a girl, not a guy -- so it would have to be a Bat Mitzvah, and a very belated one at that. But she does happen to be Jewish as a matter of fact; I attended her daughter's Bat Mitzvah last year. And, yes, I believe she does eat shellfish b…

This sounds like heaven on earth to me! I'm having a cocktail party on May 8th for a friend's 50th birthday, so I think I'll make this as the featured appetizer. I've been looking for an excuse to replace my rusty old springform pan anyway. I just…
-
Yep, that's the "regular" one as far as I know too. I must try it with the cheese. My grandmother used to work for Kraft Foods, and I thought we'd had Velveeta on or in practically everything in the world, but not the ol' GB casserole.

I made this cake as my contribution to a dinner party last night. Wow! Delicious, rich, and VERY intense chocolate rush. The actual cake batter wasn't hard to make, but all the rigamarole with the pan, parchment, foil, and boiling water was quite a …

Yes, TN, in my version of this dream it was a Butterfinger. But then I woke up and started wondering if I could get Lindt dark chocolate for a co-pay.
-
This is yet another recipe from the Forum that I will cut and paste into my electronic recipe file. Thanks! "I would think that the 8 eggs would be a concern but hey, it has chocolate so it can't be all that bad." On the subject of the medicina…

x:9 x:9 x:9 I can't wait. I love fried oysters more than life itself, but I'll bet yours are superior to mine. I have a very simple technique that consists of shaking them in a bag of corn meal and then frying them fast in shallow grease. On the …

Uh-oh, I just checked in on this thread after neglecting it for a few days and learned I'm supposed to be planning a cruise! Thank goodness, others have stepped in and gotten a jump on the food and beverage planning. Here's one thing I can add that …

"Queen" olive juice is a new one on me. Is this a brand name, or are these just your regular cross-dressing olives? x;-) Also, on the subject of excellent vodkas, have you ever heard of Tito's? It's won all kinds of vodka awards and, improbably, ma…
-
Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll try the low fat rather than non-fat mayo -- it seems to cook more like regular mayonnaise. Ditto part skim rather all skim cheese. You're right that totally non-fat cheese never seems to melt...there should be s…

I have a friend who brought this dish (or one very similar) to a dinner party at my house a few years back, but I had forgotten about it. It was delicious, so thanks for the reminder! I'm going to try whipping up a slightly lower fat version (light …

I'm going along with Leviticus on the wabbit. If only he had also outlawed broccoli and brussels sprouts.....oh well, a girl can dream. P.S. Sign me up for the drinker/spectator role on the cruise cooking class.

Cheryl, Here's the black bean soup. I haven't made this in years and had forgotten that it has bacon and ham in it. I don't think you eat pork, so I guess you could either use turkey bacon and ham, or omit the meat altogether and add more spices li…
-
This is more of an idea than a recipe at this point: They're big on black beans in the Caribbean. And you can't get much cheaper than beans. I've got a good black bean soup recipe at home, hand written on a spattered recipe card. If you're intereste…

Thanks! While you're in the mood to answer Italian pronunciation questions, here's one more: Mozzarella. My former in-laws from upstate NY were not Italian (just plain old WASPs), but they pronounced it Mootzarelle. By the way, this past weekend I …
-
Gene, maybe you can solve a mystery for me regarding the correct pronunciation of the word bruschetta. I've usually heard it pronounced with the "ch" sounding like the ch in chair. But I've also heard it pronounced like a k. So which is it? What th…
-
Okay: YUCK. x:o Just heard about this on the news. As the local anchor said, "No word yet on the knuckle sandwich."
-
I've heard that scotch bonnet peppers are even hotter than habaneros. I'm asking you, TN HR, as our resident expert on all things hot & spicy: Is it true?
-
Ditto. The Wick Fowler 2-Alarm Chili kit is good and one of the individual packets is cumin. You gotta have cumin (comino) in chili or it's just Mexican spaghetti sauce.
-
I may draw fire from the serious cooks in our midst, but I think it's hard to beat a good ole' Sara Lee poundcake straight from your friendly local grocer. Otherwise, take a regular pound cake recipe and add an 8 oz. carton of sour cream and a tsp…

That's the one I was thinking of! I think it's mulligatawny. I've always wanted to try it but I've never seen it served anywhere. I'm going to NYC next week so maybe I'll have to pay the Soup Nazi a visit and see if I'm worthy. xpray
-
Yes, it was some kind of bisque -- can't remember which type of shellfish it contained. Okay, for major extra Seinfeld trivia bonus points, what was the name of the other soup they got, or tried to get from the Soup Nazi? I'm sure there were sever…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-22-04 AT 03:38PM (CST)[/font][br][br]It's soup, so use a spoon. (Edit: Though good bisque is so rich that you might want to either eat it with an eyedropper or book yourself for immediately angioplas…

Sonny, you are a veritable font of liverwurst knowledge. However, I must say I was a tad disappointed that the Braunsweiger Ball was an edible item and not a formal black tie affair to which you were inviting all your fellow Forumites. I was just ab…

Not to change the subject from the ever-popular questionable pig parts discussion, but I'm still waiting for the orange cookie recipe!
