Thank you Michael, that would be great if you could find out for me. It technically is "a" sweet and sour sauce but not like any sauce you would get in or with a dish titled sweet and sour. I have never gotten it in any of the packets or in any of the jarred sauces I've bought. I've only ever...

Geez Kitchenelf, you're a dirvish! I want to go to bed but apparently I'm a sloth at posting and now I feel the need to answer, then I'm going to bed!:smile: The first one; no, I've been a member of 'Zaar for years and haven't found it anywhere there. The second one (picture); yes, that...

Kitchenelf: Now look what you've done! In probably two years I have literally not "laughed out loud" at something on the intraweb!:smile: The first one; nope, cornstarch not invited! I love pineapple but it is more one of the common citrus' like orange or lemon (is pineapple citrus? I don't...

I've seen print ad's for these for quite awhile. I saw a tv commercial for them tonight and thought I might buy them for my sister. She and her hubby grow as many tomatoes as possible in the little spot they have. They would be able to grow more off of their garage by hanging them. I'm...

Thanks for the welcome you guys! Barb, I hope you Michiganders further south have fared better this winter than we in Western Michigan have! This winter has been one of the snowiest in years. I feel for all the Yoopers.:ohmy:

I made calzones for dinner last night. Mine are so vanilla, just the usual pizza suspects, you guys have given me some new ideas!

Hi everybody! I've been a lurker for awhile and decided to stop being lazy and register. My husband and I love to cook and I'm sure DC will be a great asset in our efforts. This is a wonderful site full of great content and advice from the members. I'm happy to become part of your...
