Better late than never. Shrimp Pad Thai

I live in a townhouse condo complex. Yesterday, we had to do cleanup from a snowstorm. There is a routine where workers plow the streets while others driving bobcats plow out the parking spaces in front of the buildings. When you see they are on your street, you go out and clean off your car and...

Oatmeal is a regular in my cold weather breakfast rotation. I try to come up with different things to flavor the oatmeal so I can have some variety. Some of the things I use are maple syrup, different flavors of preserves/jams, sugar and cinnamon, etc. So I was lying in bed thinking about what...

Does anyone have any experience with the subject system? I've been thinking about improving over what I have now and this brand is popping up all over the place with a super sale price right now.

We live in a townhouse condo as one of 115 units. Trick or Treat heaven for kids. Lots of doorbells in a small area. TorT is from 6:00PM to 8:00PM every year. Our streets are often mobbed with parents and little kids. We attract carloads of kids for poorer areas because it's safe and well...

SO wanted to check out a super market in Danbury . . . Not sure I could handle this much color early in the morning. So do you think they taste like Skittles?

I made some lemon sugar cookies earlier this week. As I was sitting back and enjoying these little lovelies with a glass of cold milk, a thought popped into my head: Sugar cookie texture. Should they be crisp and snap in two when bitten or firm but not so brittle they will break when bitten...

I'm a proud great grandfather. She is a joy to see.

While stumbling around the internet, I came across a recipe for "real southern tomato pie". I marked the site for later reference. I purchased the ingredients and planned on making the pie tonight. The recipe is on allrecipes.com. In addition to the usual print recipe and the photo...

Tonight I revived an old recipe for Cajun Shrimp in Cream Sauce. What's on your plate tonight?

I don't have one. I never thought I needed one. We have a programmable one but I have to take it off the wall, manually program it and put it back. Though that can be a pain, I really only have to do it once after installation. It has all the settings for different time of day and days of the...

Because of advertising, most people think of Thomas' English Muffins when the subject comes up. We're guilty of that for sure. About 5 years ago I started making my own. I thought they were pretty good but SO and our granddaughter passed on them because they liked Thomas' "nooks and crannies"...

Does anyone have a tried and true sausage ravioli recipe they're willing to share?

I know. Baklava/Paklava. This delicious dessert was popularized by the Greek culture in the US. However, like most foods, recipes don't recognize current political borders and are more appropriately assigned to a geographic region. Paklava (that's what my family called it) has versions in...

Just received my new OXO poultry shears. I've made do without for a long time but as arthritis worsens, I cannot manage to cut through bone as easily as before. So I did my research and found these are the highest rated (by serious eats.com). Now I can consider doing a spatchcocked turkey for...

Spent parts of yesterday and today smoking, roasting, pulling and packaging a pork butt. A few days ago I rubbed a whole bone-in butt, wrapped and refrigerated it for two days. Yesterday, I fired up the Weber kettle and smoked it over hickory for a few hours then moved it into the oven to finish...

I made a pot of beef barley soup with mushrooms for dinner tonight. What's on your plate tonight?

To Roast or to Bake? That is the question. One of the side effects of being retired is that I often have idle time. That's when my mind wanders. Today it wandered into a gray (grey) area. What's the difference between roasting and baking in a home oven. I did some reading and found some common...

I spatchcocked and rubbed a chicken, roasted it and made pilaf and green beans. What did you do for tonight's dinner?

The last portion of Hungarian Goulash Soup moved form the freezer to our plates for tonight's dinner. I made a batch of dinner rolls to accompany it.

Tonight I retrieved a portion of pasta sauce with mushrooms and served that with spaghetti for tonight's dinner.
