They are closing the island to tourists April 26, for 6 months, which means a lot of the things I like will not be available since the locals don't buy them. The deli I use will probably close for a while so I'm wondering if I can buy 3 or 4 kilos of sliced forest ham and turkey breast and...

I'm looking for a single cup coffee maker. B-B&B has a Kitchen Aid that doesn't take up much space and I may be a fool for a brand name but KA usually makes good stuff. Anyone have suggestions on other brands? Thanks

A supplier for resorts and restaurants here offers a hanging tender for a great price but this is the first time I have heard of it. I bought one to try that weighs 2.6 kilos. Looking for some ideas on what to do with it. Can it be sliced and cooked like a steak? Is it best as hamburger...

I have recently come across a couple recipes that use milk instead of water for a pie crust. Before I try it I would like to hear from people that have used milk. Anyone ?

I love blueberry muffins. The only way I can get blueberries is a can of pie filling. The first time I use the pie filling I added some of the goo and reduced the milk. Fail.....the muffins looked great out of the oven but within an hour they collapsed. Now when I make them I strain off the...
