Thanks everyone. I think it might have been the hot weather. It looked fine and had not stayed on the stalk too long...I will try again in the fall when the temps cool off..Our first experience with lettuce so we just didn't know. :-(

Don't know if this is the correct place for this question, but here goes...For the first time ever we planted romaine lettuce. It looks really pretty but it is bitter. I made a low calorie ranch dressing this morning and wanted to try it out. I first thought it was the dressing tasting so bad...

Thanks Marji , but I have already made the plain fig preserves. I appreciate your offer though..:-)

Thanks Greg! I did see some recipes that were similar to what you said. It did say to put in the refrigerator or to waterbath them because they spoiled easily. I appreciate your replies...

Greg, do you think to cut it back to 1 c. and then use the strawberry reg. or sugar free would be good. I googled and got some different ideas for making it with less sugar ,but I have to have the strawberry to give the figs the taste of it...I believe I have used the s.f. jello before,but...

I am canning this morning and it calls for 3 c. figs,2 c. sugar and 2 boxes strawberry jello. This is going to have a lot of sugar in it. Has anyone used the sugar free jello?? sure would cut the sugar amt. Any help ???

Thanks everyone for your opinions ! I bought the boxwood because of the little leaves , it said that no chopping to it. I may go back and get the big leaf too for sandwiches like someone mentioned. I've never eat one with that on it...I just don't know that much about the plants. I've always...

What I was going by is that on the sweet basil it says its good for pizza and italian dishes. On the boxwood it says to use for pesto, so I didn't know if it was really that way or not. Since I only wanted 1 type just wanted to make sure I bought the right kind. I love the basil taste in soups ...

This is a very short question...What type of basil do you buy to plant? I looked at some today that was a boxwood basil and there was another that was sweet basil. I didn't know which kind to get. I have never made any pesto and really haven't used any basil except for the dry kind in the...

I found out the light doesn't come on in all the turbo ovens. I love my new oven and now just to find out more about using it. Baked biscuits tonight in it and they were so good and took a lot less time than a big oven. Doesn't heat up the house either. That will be especially nice next summer !!

I bought a Sunpentown turbo oven yesterday at a discount place at a very good price.I don't know if the light is suppose to come on when its cooking, because this one doesn't. I don't know anything about these ovens except what I can find on the internet or youtube. But with all the videos a...

Not sure where to post this. I wanted to know if anyone knows a good place to go and put your recipe in and it calculate the calories and nutritional values. I would like the easiest way of doing that. I tried Spark people but was a little complicated.:smile:

It's working fine. I just leave it in the little oven all the time. Maybe I was just lucky , but my DH did a good job cutting it down....

My husband was able to cut the stone down by using a tile cutter with a wet blade. Then he used a belt sander to smooth it down. I cooked some biscuits tonight on it and they did fine. Browned good on top and bottom. This way I was able to use my smaller oven. I was half way afraid for him to...

Well Kayelle, I actually did buy one and then wondered if I should use it. I ask the employee in Lowe's about an unglazed tile and this is what I bought. The employee said he had never heard of it and suggested I put it in a hot oven for a while. I don't know if it was a saltillo tile or not(I'm...

My husband has a tile cutter and other type of tools. That's why I thought he might could do that. If he could just cut the 2 sides it would fit my oven. I just don't want to ruin it though.

Thanks Ladies, I am going to use my stone today. My gson is out of school and I thought I'd cook one of those frozen pizza's that he likes. I also am going to bake some sweet potatoes. Would they cook good on there? I usually just cook them in a pan, just wondered though.

No such luck. I bought it at a consignment shop. I don't even know if there are different sizes or not. This 15" might be the only size they have. I have another question though. I haven't used it yet but I wonder about cleaning it before I use it. I just ran hot water over it and used a plastic...

I'm anxious to try it!!!

During the summer I don't like to use the big oven because it heats the house up so much. I love to use my countertop oven, it cooks faster and I can cook a 12" pizza in it. I didn't even think about it being too big. So, yes, I will have to use the oven because I sure don't want to ruin the...

I bought a probably 15 inch pizza stone and when I got home it is too big for my Hamilton beach countertop oven. I needed a 12inch . I bought it at a consignment store. I was thrilled, because I've wanted one for a long time. Can these type stone be cut down? My husband is very handy for doing...

I can believe that the lemon juice is a dough softner. That was the best loaf I have baked. I had a piece this morning for toast and then for lunch toasted it and had blt's. It was so good. The breadmaker I have does the express cook-baking in an hr. The 2 loaves I have baked were a little...

Selkie, I haven't heard that about the paper bag. I'll have to try that. I baked a loaf of bread yesterday and had a tomato sandwich last night and it was soooo good. This a.m. I tried it as toast and again was very good. The name of it was sahara sand bread and it had lemon juice in it.That was...

I have several questions about making bread in the abm. I have read to add 2 t. vinegar in with the dough. Do I add this in the water measurement? Someone said they put the fresh loaf in plastic as soon as it is baked. Do you slice as soon as it gets cool to put in bag? When I set it on a...

Well if I can't figure out anything to use it for, it's not like it will break the bank to throw it out on the ground for the varmits or birds to enjoy!! LOL And believe me, living out in the country there are a lot of varmits!!
