That's what I thought too! 30 - 45 minutes would make would make the kind of coffee where the spoon would stand by itself! BC

I've always read to never use soaps to wash the veggies. BC

Looks like we have a bit of Chicago bashing right here on this topic to me. I'm not from the city, but from a western suburb, but I don't happen to know of any Chicagoans who are braggarts like that. Not all Chicagoans are rude. Many of them are very nice people. We have some nice ones right...

I use the sanitize cycle all the time now. I'm scared of cooties. BC

I have both two cats and a dog, and while I think that's a cute joke, it's really not at all accurate about many cats. I'm sure it was written by a dog person. Granted, I have an older cat now who is affectionate on his own schedule, but all three of them greet me goofily when I arrive home...

Bravo! My sentiments exactly. They're not at the top of my list, and they're not at the bottom either. Some prepackaged foods that people eat taste terrible to me, but obviously they taste fine to many or they wouldn't buy them, and who am I to tell them that they're eating nasty stuff? I...

I asked my the nurse at my doctor's office if salt is bad for a person who's blood pressure is not affected by salt, and they told me that it could have an effect on the artery walls, but there was nothing concrete on that. She just said that a person who doesn't need to watch salt intake for...

Now I didn't know that little tidbit of info. I'm not sure how I would get around it, since I don't like to eat before my lunch time walk, since it seems to slow me down. By the time I get back from my walk, I'm pretty hungry, so I eat my sandwich at that time. I'm going to have to think...

I also walk every day. Walkers discourage the use of any kind of weight. You don't want to slow yourself down or cause undue stress on any joints by the use of weights. Four miles a day is wonderful for your heart. My heart doctor said that the minimum cardio exercise for a healthy heart is...

Tabouleh actually a Lebanese dish made with bulgur wheat. I've eaten it, but have never made it. I searched and found several recipes, one of which I will post here. http://www.chabad.org/library/article.asp?AID=261016 BC

I scored a 24 on the test and I truly don't follow celebrity stuff at all. I couldn't help but hear a couple of them, like Apple, but I just picked out a name that sounded like it would come from these people, and was right on all but 2. They are more predictable than I thought. BC

I sure don't but I'll be watching this topic to see what everyone puts here. I have some grits in the cabinet and some Andouille in the freezer. Sounds yummy. BC

I love Sweet 100's as the cherry tomato in my garden. So does my little dog, who goes over and picks a few of his own for a snack! Fortunately, the plant produces hundreds, just as they say it will, so there are plenty for all. I also agree that Brandywine is a nice flavored tomato. I...

Other than the ethnic foods that I had as a kid (stuffed cabbage, chicken paprikash, etc. - YUMMY!) my family was very "meat and potatoes" - we had a meat, a potato that was often baked or mashed and a green salad with a vinegar and oil dressing. We didn't have a lot of variety, generally. The...

Reviewers that I've read and heard have said that even if they had never seen a bad Tom Hanks performance before, they have now. One or two said they couldn't take their eyes off his hair. They all say his performance was flat. I'm very tired of all of it too. BC

I'm sorry for your loss. BC

I was just going to post that myself MM. Hey, how about we forget about Starbucks and just make a few of these one day this summer? LOL BC

I have a 10 year old Miniature Pinscher named Grommit. He's a great little companion. He lives for rides in the car and walks in the park. We sometimes travel with him and he's a good hotel guest too. We also have a 14 year old gray cat named Blue, who is the best cat in the world. He has a...

Thanks for the info. It certainly looked like a nice set of cookware for the price. I drive by a Le Gourmet outlet every day. I'll have to go look at the pans in person. BC

Mutts is my very favorite strip. I was fortunate to meet Patrick McDonnell at a book signing in December. BC

I was just going to post that same sentiment - I can't stand to see a soiled towel hanging in the kitchen. Even if it's clean, it looks filthy. And you can't hide them in a cabinet or anything because they're usually damp and need to be hung to dry. I use a cloth towel sparingly and for the...

Has anyone ever heard of this brand? http://www.legourmetchef.com/detail/01622765/?utm_source=lgc_email_050806&utm_medium=email&utm_content=item5&utm_campaign=CusinartSale BC

How funny - I learned the exact opposite! BC

Condolences to you and your family at this difficult time. BC

My uncle was on the ad agency team that created the Pillsbury Doughboy. He'd probably get a kick out of this. I'll have to send it to him. BC
