Marge even though I rarely come to DC any more, for some reason something drew me here today. I was deeply sorry to see that Paul has crossed and you, Paul and your family have my prayers. I remember chatting with you and Paul a couple of times in the past about the Navy and I know how taps...

A yellow spot should be riper than a white spot. Ask me, I buy a LOT of watermelon. :) Should not be dark yellow as that is a sign of over ripe

Oh I envy you. I would love to visit just one of those places. Have a wonderful, safe and exciting trip. P.S. Spoil them rotten and then hand them back to mama. :)

Hmmmm well there were several problems that I could only partially fix. Space The biggest problem I had was space, both work area and inside the frig. I know I had an extra frig, but between what I had fixed, groceries that I had for appetizers that I didn't fix and what my mother was...

IcyMist grabbed some glass cleaner and chamos cloth and wiped Mudbug's glasses. :)

I live in Tampa and really enjoy the authentic Cuban Sandwich. You need the pickles, but I don't like them with lettice and tomato AND I am a lettice and tomato person, just not on this sandwich. I love them pressed where they are nice and crunchy and the cheese is a little gooey. That with some...

Huh? What did I have?

LOL thank you for sharing those pictures Corinne. :) It did make me feel better and I really hate that food was being thrown away, but it sat for hours in a hot hall and my sister and I both agree that pork, beef, and eggs should not sit out like that and then be given to a homeless shelter...

Oops I put 100 people, there were 301 people to be exact.

Well my mother ended up having to come home early (she is 82) and so I left the party a little late, BUT it was a success. My sister convinced me to take the chicken nuggets and people loved them. Maybe I am my own worst critic. Funny thing is, with all the food I cooked, I didn't eat a thing...

Ty Marmalady you made me feel better. As for the eggs, I forgot to dump the hot water out of the pot before adding the ice.....sigh, can tell I was tired.

The Columbia has been around for at least 40 years, so I am not the only one who thinks the food there is good. Has always been a family owned restaurant and they are even newsworthy as somebody stole a bust of the mother who died sometime back from the porch. They had to break the porch up to...

Well this has really been a learning experience. I have only had two and a half flops. One was the cheddar cheese crackers (will post recipe later so somone can help me figure out why). The second flop is the one that I hate being a flop since I spent hours and hours cutting, dipping and...

Well I am only half done with baking the chicken nuggets. Everything else is done except for stuffing the eggs. That I will do tomorrow morning at the reception hall and then put them in frig. I am so tired that I could cry, so am going to go take a 3 hour nap and then get up and get busy...

OOps I goofed, not Columbian, it is the Columbia....ARGGG

You can still taste the onion, but I don't think it is over powering. Still have a lot of filling, but ran out the biscuits. No I am not going back to the store for that. :) I still have to cut open the eggs (already shelled), fix the filling, cut the veggie pizza and cook the chicken...

If you like spanish food, you could try the Columbian. Food is very good and I think it is reasonable, haven't been there lately. A lot of people go there for lunch, so you do not have to get dressed up. I honestly don't get out to eat much and when I do get to go out my mom picks Red Lobster...

Believe me, I do NOT need to chop onions to cry. THis mess has made me think about crying several times. :)

I ended up using a little less than half the amount of onion called for and grated it. I am so tired of this. :( Have been up since 3:00 a.m. and boiled 15 dozen eggs....by the way they look beautiful inside. :) I took someone's advice and cooked them in batches instead of trying to boil...

One of the appetizers I am making has chopped ham, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green peppers, chopped onions that you mix together and put in a rolled out biscuit that is then rolled in parmesan cheese and baked. When first made is very good, but my sister said that the onion became...

Well the crackers are a flop. I can't even pick them up without them crumbling and I have no clue what is wrong. The only thing I can think of is that I made them about the size of a half dollar and I finally realized that they were way to big. Each batch was suppose to make 56 crackers and I...

LOL thanks all. Still don't know if it will turn out okay because I made 5 batches at one time and accidentally left out one stick of butter. Hopefully they will turn out okay.

Okay I am working on making some cheese crackers that you start out with flour, cayenne pepper, rice crispies, MARGARINE, sesame seeds and salt. Well I ended up getting butter instead of margarine and decided to go ahead and use that. Is there a time when you should use margarine instead of...

LOL Bucky you are horrible. My biggest accomplishment is the first time I changed my own tire. :) It is old hat now.....sigh.

You say chifonade it, I say butcher it to itty bitty pieces that are unrecognizable.
