    Wedding Gift Ideas?

    We gave a certificate to a fairly local bed and breakfast to a close friend (2nd marriage for both) and they liked it so much they went back several times. Another idea is a special Christmas or other holiday ornament or decoration. Maybe a Willow Tree ornament. Sent from my SPH-L710 using...

    Let's Talk TV

    I never thought I would like the Big Bang Theory but I was channel surfing and came across it and to my surprise, it is a funny show. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Discuss Cooking mobile app

    Need advice...

    You may ask him if he has ever been bullied and then explain to him that calling others inappropriate names is a form of bullying.

    Books and Reading

    I often reread books. The Hunger Games Trilogy really pulled me in and I read the series off and on, on my phone, when I don't have my Kindle with me. And I love it when I find a new-to-me series. I've read the first two of the Insurgent series and am looking forward to the third now! Linda

    Bread and butter pickle problem

    Thanks to all...I hope the extra sugar and "mellowing" will help make the pickles more what she wants. She lives in SC and I live in VA, so I can't "help" her make the pickles and check if there are any small changes, but I really think she followed the recipe exactly. Thanks again. Linda

    I want to make the lightest possible yeast bread (white)

    The rolls turned out pretty well....I didn't take time for the second 2-hour rise - just went a little over an hour - but they were lighter than my usual batches. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks, Somebunny - i printed out the recipe and will try it another time....12 cups of flour???? Wow! I doubled the Amish Dinner rolls recipe listed above and they are on the second rise now. I am very happy with the first rise.....I didn't cook quite enough potatoes, so I used a little bit...

    I want to make the lightest possible yeast bread (white)

    Does someone have a tried and true recipe to make yeast rolls so light they will rise off the pans unless you cover them in butter? My rolls always tastes fine, but I want to make a batch of "airy" rolls....do I need to knead the dough longer? Let rise more? Use more yeast...

    What's your favorite trail mix?

    I always make my own....and it varies...walnuts, cashews, pecans, raisins (gold and regular), craisins, sunflower seeds and sometimes I get some minced dried fruit. I am not a big fan of peanuts so i usually don't put any in my mixes...and I seldom put M&M's or any type of chocolate in it either.

    Does Costco Take Credit Cards Other Than American Express?

    Luckily, my work pays for my membership...I have to spend my time on a Saturday buying supplies for our work kitchen a few times a year, but they do pay me mileage to go there. Hubby gets a free membership. We would not spend enough on our own to justify joining. And the grazing is good on...

    What's the last movie you watched?

    Saw The Hunger Games over the weekend! Intense! Of course the book is better, but the movie did a good job in presenting the story.
