My hat is off to you for at least considering a recipe to bake some cookies. When my son was younger and cookies were needed many people found the quick and easy cookies from a supermarket that usually missed the delicious part of the formula. I would suggest a drop method cookie as being easy...

I guess we are pretty fortunate to have a TJ about five minutes from our house. I have been told that our TJ is a pretty small store compared to other locations. It is located in a shopping center and although small it is stocked with a lot of goodies. The prices are very reasonable which I...

We got carried away with tomatoes as usual but did put several sweet basil plants among the tomato plants. As our back up plan we container plant rosemary, oregano, thyme and parsley. Our peppermint has survived for the third season and is looking healthy. We also planted catnip which was...

I have always been fond of Jonathan for their crisp texture and refreshing tartness. I now really enjoy Fuji. We go to a local orchard and buy a bushel when they are in season. We use our food dehydrator and make great snacks of dried slices that are intended to last thru the winter but...

I was sitting in our yard with DW tonight and she spotted her first fire fly of the season. She reminisced going to see the 4th of July fireworks and the walk thru a wooded area near the golf course was ablaze with lightning bugs. She was young and thought the pyrotechnic display had begun...

Has anyone had any experience baking with Splenda? I have always been a proponent of pure cane sugar in my baked goods and sweets but as I find a need to reduce sugar level intake I now use Splenda in many applications where I used to use sugar. I have not attempted to use it for cooking or...

I know this recipe is in my Mother’s recipe box that I inherited. I remember her telling me about the woman who asked for the recipe and had to pay $350 for the privilege. We now know that was an urban legend but my mom was pleased as punch to have a copy. I will have to check out the file...

Some of the cookbooks we have give instructional info similar to what you may be asking but I don’t know if they are still published. The McCall’s Cookbook is one and the Betty Crocker cookbook is another but I know that some of the recipes from the old edition do not appear in the more recent...

Thank you for the responses. The yeast is good so I think the problem could be that the windows were open and there was a strong breeze in the kitchen where DW placed the covered bowl.

Hello Bridget I do understand your philosophy and opinion but feel somewhat defensive about being a gram by gram guy. My grandmother cooked by a pinch of this and a dash of that but those pinches and dashes usually remained uniform each time she cooked an item. I frequently cook that way now...

TATRAT, You present a mouthwatering assortment. I would like to try some of those. I have a White Mountain electric version but my bucket is a mess. The motor is fine and the canister is also good. There is a hardware store about 40 miles from my home that is a distributor so when visiting...

CSALT, I would like to preface this recipe by saying that I am not fond of recipes that include specific brand items but this recipe was given to me by a friend who said it was TNT. I tried and true to my nature I made some adjustments to the quantities while maintaining the original...

We got married when fondue pots were popular so we got a few as wedding gifts. My DW got a recipe from a friend that she just had to try. It was a cheese and white wine fondue for dipping large toasted bread cubes. My DW and her sister heated and stirred this mixture for a long time before...

I like guava juice and second would be Ruby Red grapefruit juice. The first juice that actually came to my mind was fresh squeezed lime; of course combined with tequila, Cointreau or Gran Marnier, and an ice filled, salt rimmed glass.:rolleyes:

CharlieD, One part of my job is to write recipes in a food management software program. The questions I would have about this recipe would be a better description of the sugar. Is this granulated type sugar thru the whole recipe or is the icing using a confectioner’s sugar sometimes known as...

I resemble that remark. I have a bunch of T-shirts purchased at rock concerts over thirty years ago that I wish would still fit. I “Had” a most favorite sport coat that was velour type of material. It was multi colored patchwork style design but not madras. The family was gathered to...

I am a little curious how you could notice that this PM came from someone with zero posts on the forum without opening the PM. I did open the PM because my DW is named Rebecca and I’m polite or possibly just well trained. I did notice the absence of posts and no personal info. I didn’t respond...

Do you still need a copy forwarded? I got one as well. I am still rather new at this forum and was not aware that this was not common.

My choice is Eggs Benedict. I very rarely fix this at home due to the effort; primarily with the Hollandaise sauce. I don’t often order this in a restaurant because they seldom seem to get it right. I think texture is an important part of food enjoyment. Liquid yolk and Hollandaise sauce...

Ours will be burgers and dogs on the grill. That was last night’s plan but I spent until sunset replacing a pump motor on our pool filter. It worked for about 10 minutes and then stopped. Project for tonight is to fix whatever went wrong last night in time to cook some food before darkness...

It is obvious in just a few short responses that PIZZA has a large variety of toppings and opinions. I make my own dough and I also make my own sauce from home grown San Marzano tomatoes and our garden herbs. So I guess I would say the most important part is the crust and the sauce followed...

I love soft pretzels but don’t get to the fresh pretzel shop very frequently so I have a tendency of over purchase. I would usually want to frugally finish my goodies late at night because the next day they would be inedible. My grandfather taught me how to recycle a slightly stale soft pretzel...

Welcome Elton and good luck with your rebuild. The model number question puzzled me a few years ago when we were shopping for some new appliances. I called the manufacturer direct and confronted them about the issue. The verbal response I got was that they issue a specific model number code...

I inherited a folder from my Mom when she died. It contains a multiplicity of USPS stamp denominations. Whenever there is a rate increase I usually have enough variety to tally up to the new postage rate until the crowds have dwindled and I can get some of the newer value stamp. My only fear...
