I had a coworker bring a bunch of grocery bags of recipe cards that her mother had passed along down to her, and this is only one of the over 300 cards that I picked out.
This is a special for more elegant dining, yet so easy to prepare and to cook. A very impressive dish with a unique taste and still fairly inexpensive.

The Best Frozen Hors d’Oeuvres

I have this really endearing (according to Cory) habit of getting overly attached to my pets; be they digital, pixel, or flesh and blood. I talk to my dogs on a regular basis and adore my current pixel pets over at howrse.com and subeta.org.

Do you ever find yourself all geared up and ready to make a favorite recipe but then discover you’re staring at an empty container of a needed ingredient? Ugh. You don’t want to run out to the store right now. So what do you do?
Well, that’s when emergency kitchen substitutions come in handy. I’ve printed out the following list and keep a copy taped to the inside of my pantry door at all times.
Although these substitutions will work in a pinch, I don’t recommend always substituting ingredients in your recipes. The recipes will technically work with substitutions, but often the finished product won’t be exactly the same as when you use the original ingredients called for in the recipe.
Also, be sure you don’t make more than one substitution in a particular recipe at once. The more ingredients you substitute, the more “off” your product will be when you’re finished.
Well I have two dogs; and I was raised by a cat; but I found the following quotes pretty cute.
A picnic wouldn’t be a picnic without crispy fried chicken. This rendition will knock your socks off. The chicken is soaked in a hot sauce and buttermilk mixture overnight before it’s fried. Don’t be uneasy about the amount of hot sauce. I promise a lot of the heat is cooked off during frying and the flavor is great.
Not the healthiest thing to eat, but definitely a hard hitter even with those that don’t like ‘french fries’

How do you eat your Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cups?
11/24/2008 there is a wrong way. my cousin ate a reese’s the wrong way. hes gone now. RIP Keith Christian Marante 1987 – 2005. well basically what happend was he ate it upside down. it was a regular day. we woke up, went to starbucks for some coffee and for some strange reason he decided to stop by our local CVS because he wanted to buy a holloween mask. he was distracted from the holloween costums by there extremly low candy prices. they were having a sale; two bags of candy for the price of one. ridiculouse; i know. he thought it would be funny to eat each reeses upside down. little did we know the universe was about to change. a black hole began to form in our kitchen EVERYTHING we said came out backwards THE SKY turned red and my grandmother had a heart attack, my dog ate its tale and gave birth to a poodle. which is weird because my dog is a black lab. and a boy. my cousin was sucked into the black hole. and i live to tell his legend. ~ eatswax87

And if the candidates want my vote; they would be well reminded of the blue collared man and his family. This is an older email forward; but it made me smile.
McDonalds has the McMuffin; but these are tastier; and better for you. Not to mention you won’t have to go thru the drive thru to get them.
Organic food has grown into a $14 billion market and represents the fastest-growing segment of the grocery industry. That’s heady stuff for a movement that champions sustainable, small-scale food production and rejects industrial agriculture.

This recipe calls for a beef rump roast, a cut that comes from the hind leg. Because the leg has been toughened by exercise, a rump roast is less tender than some cuts and is typically slow-cooked in stock or wine along with vegetables and herbs. Here, the roast is prepared in a pressure cooker, which speeds the process but still produces juicy, flavorful results.
Modern pressure cookers are a far cry from earlier models, which emitted smelly vapors that condensed on everything in sight. Even worse, they could be dangerous. Our updated speed cookers are models of efficiency and safety, with lids that remain locked until after the steam is released. They reduce cooking times by as much as 70 percent for most foods—and without the loss of nutrients. Beans, which ordinarily require hours of cooking, are tender in fewer than 15 minutes; a pot of chili, in 20 minutes. In some cases, pressure cooking is actually faster than microwave cooking: Cooked under pressure, artichokes are done in only 10 to 14 minutes, compared to 40 to 45 minutes in a microwave.
