    Your oldest piece of equipment?

    After much deliberation, I've come to the conclusion that "I" am the oldest piece of equipment in my kitchen. I still work well, haven't rusted noticably, and if you soak me well, I clean up pretty nice! :rolleyes:

    Anyone on a Detox diet?

    Jenny, I'm wondering if you are talking about the method where you take herbals and flush your colon with lots of water to rid your system of matter that has accumulated for years. I see a doctor on an infomercial who sells this product and I have read a little bit about the treatment and it...

    Making French Cake

    Oh WOW!! I've seen Julia Child make both of these on her original program and had no idea that this was what we were talking about. Julia used to do fabulous desserts that were traditional French cooking, and I don't really think she put her own spin on them. These sound very traditional, just...

    Rob's Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

    Lyn, This sounds better than a totally cream cheese frosting, which I think is too rich and heavy on most cakes. I am anxious to try this one - thanks for posting! Carol

    Pie Crust

    Geraldine, It's so cold and windy here in Atlanta, that I'm going to take Monday and try your pie crust recipe. I think more than anything else, baking things such as pie crusts, biscuits, etc. comes from practice. Just the getting familiar with a recipe or a technique has a lot to do with the...

    Washing up is boring!

    I read the message from Cookies, and I wanted to share something that might help her. I also have a bad back, and have arranged everything so that I can sit on a stool and wash dishes. Everybody who watches gets so tickled cause everything I have is arranged to wash and dry by hand and it's so...

    Pie Crust

    Norma, When you make them, stack a bunch of layers and cut all at the same time. I love these crusts for appetizers and desserts, cause you can always count on their consistency. When I make my own, according to the weather, crusts can be flaky or tough; but the Pillsbury are always the same!

    Pie Crust

    Yes, I swear by those Pillsbury crusts and have used them for many years! I don't have the patience for making pie crusts, and these are so easy to keep in the refrigerator. I especially like them for fried pies - cut out with a drinking glass, put in about a teaspoon of filling, fold over and...

    Your oldest piece of equipment?

    When I read about the egg shells, I remembered my grandmother used to keep a gallon jar of eggshells in water to put on her African violets - least I think that's what she did with it. What is in eggshells that seems to work for everything? :)

    What a sweet thing to do in memory of Jessie - I have never heard of a Key Lime Pie made any other way except with condensed milk. I cannot wait to make this and taste the difference. Thank you for posting this and sharing a very special memory...... Carol

    Jane's Cooking tips

    The marshmallow in the ice cream cone is one of the best! The little ones were forever "dripping" all over the car and this one is an absolute must! (Keep a little zip lock bag of them in the glove compartment for those surprise trips to the ice cream shop) !

    George Foreman - any good?

    Wait til you get replies about Pimento Cheese - I didn't realize it was a "Southern" thing until people on cooking forums were asking what the heck it was. (Who knew?) If you come to Atlanta, head to the Varsity for a grilled pimento cheese with some greasy onion rings and a Frosted...

    Jamie Oliver - the big debate!

    Chooster, You didn't tell us you were from across the pond! I hope you didn't think I was out of my mind for trying to explain Jamie's accent. Was I right about the Cockney or does he really have a lisp. (What DO you call that rhyming thing they do) Where is Sheffield - I have friends who...

    Jamie Oliver - the big debate!

    Kitchenelf, Are you sure Jamie has a lisp? I think Jamie is Cockney and they all talk that way. I'm a leftover Beatles fan from the 60's, and when my girlfriends and I fell in love with the Beatles we learned everything British. Jamie uses a Cockney accent that rhymes (kind of like street...

    Sweet & Sour Chicken This is my favorite recipe cause it is so easy and yet so good. I give this recipe to everyone and I have never had a bad reaction from anyone! I found it on Kathie Lee Gifford's website and she says it is something she and her sister make all the time. I love it ...

    Washing up is boring!

    Now that we have completely discouraged this poor woman from ever finding the urge to run into the kitchen and clean her hands off - l can remember when I was "thinking" about becoming a teenager, I used to practice slow dancing with our refrigerator. Surely this would encourage anybody to spend...

    Your oldest piece of equipment?

    ;) I think I know somebody who isn't about to trade in that old appliance - sounds like it has been honed to perfection and the warranty is still good! They just don't build them like that anymore. LOL, Carol

    Washing up is boring!

    You'll never believe this; but one day it just hit me about how nice everything looked when I got through. I love coming into the kitchen when everything is all clean and ready to begin another meal....plus I've developed a bit of joint stiffness and the warmth of dishwater is very soothing to...
