    Finally bought a bench scraper

    That's what I always did. And I sometimes still find myself doing it that way until I remember I have the scraper. I find it difficult to break old habits when it comes to cooking. But I'm getting used to using it occasionally. I'm also finding all of the other suggestions in this thread useful.

    I think I've messed up here...

    Because it's easier than mixing and measuring and digging through the cupboard to find the ingredients you need (my baking powder always gets lost in the back in the cupboard somewhere because I rarely use it). You just dump it in a bowl (I don't even measure the "complete" pancake mix, I just...

    I think I've messed up here...

    I've had Moo Shu Pork, but only from Chinese restaurants. Have never tried making it at home. Really the only Asian style dish I'll make at home is fried rice, plus I have a pretty decent recipe for baked sweet & sour chicken that I'll make on occasion. I found it online years ago and have been...

    I think I've messed up here...

    I'd say all bases have pretty much been covered here. Did you buy masa harina or corn flour at some point? Hope you can figure it out. That would drive me bananas.

    It's especially nice when you've got finely chopped garlic stuck to your board. Whooshes it right away.

    I'm the same way. I made my own hoagie rolls once and just kind of winged it. They actually came out pretty uniform.

    Finally bought a bench scraper

    Yeah, not the most exciting of topics, but I've been contemplating the purchase of one for a while now, from seeing how easy it is to just 'scoop and dump' cut ingredients, so I finally bought a couple (came in a 2-pack). Normally I would just scrape the cut fruits & veggies straight into the...

    I think I better check this forum often

    Well, Charlie still posts here, so maybe he'll see this and respond. Depends if he's still subscribed to this thread and elects to have email notifications of replies. Would be interesting to find out if he got his blood sugar under control.

    Cooking spray alternatives and how to clean ruined CorningWare?

    Yep, same here. That or Brillo. I've tried many methods to get the yellow/brown baked on stuff from my glass bakeware and those pads, plus a little elbow grease, are the only thing that's ever worked for me to get them sparkling white again and looking like new.

    One cube chicken stock equals how many cups?

    One bouillon cube = 8 oz. (or one cup) of water. So for 8 cups, you would need 8 cubes.

    What are you cooking at the moment?

    I'll second this. When I read the recipe, I immediately recognized all the steps and ingredients because it's my go-to sauce for pasta and it's so much better than jarred stuff. So I've apparently been making this recipe for a long time without realizing it was even a recipe. :innocent:

    Chicken gizzards anyone?

    I love liver, but can't do the gizzards. I've tried them a couple of times, but nope. Tried chicken hearts as well. Don't like those either.

    I'm So Old That I Remember...

    Oh, okay. I thought maybe it would be worth something.

    That's probably worth some money.

    I'm So Old That I Remember...

    Believe it or not, I still use a typewriter at work. Not for anything major. We're a small office of two people (my boss and I) so we don't have a bunch of fancy equipment. Therefore I use the typewriter for things like address labels, file folder labels, envelopes, just general stuff.

    I'm So Old That I Remember...

    We never did end up with a wall phone. My mom had a gossip bench in the kitchen, so we always stuck with that along with the desk phone that was on it. It was that way as long as I can remember, until my parents divorced and we moved out of that house in the late 70's. It wasn't until the 80's...

    I'm So Old That I Remember...

    My favorite phone back then. Loved these. Had one in my room until I 'upgraded' to a cordless. I missed my Princess phone, but the freedom of being able to walk through the house and talk on the phone at the same time was priceless.

    Cheez-It Puff'd Cheese Pizza Review...

    I wonder if those would compare in flavor to my beloved snack Pizza Spins, that I loved as a kid back in the 70's. I'd like to try those.

    Fatty Liver

    Wow, I'd forgotten all about this thread. Thanks for your response. My doctor told me that there are a LOT of people with fatty liver and don't even know it, nor do they ever find out about it, because fatty liver doesn't always develop into anything more than just that... excess fat on the...

    Trader Joe's Vanilla Cookie Thins Review...

    Oooooooo! I would probably go crazy over these. I'm a HUGE fan of anything vanilla.

    Panera Bread Restaurants are getting rid of 50 % of their menu.. in April...

    I will definitely see if I can find that salsa. But I still love my Pace. However, I don't like the Pace salsa. I get the picante. Just tastes different to me. And I like my nachos the same way, if I'm making them at home. I do one chip at a time rather than dumping everything on top. Those...
