Well I'm adding Ray to this club...as he tried so hard to make soup the other day...well he had so much he had to get a second pot to put everything in..put way to many noodle in there...and it got bigger and bigger next he had to add more veggie's and stock..and now he's got enough to feed an army.and wanted to know..what he could do with it...gee.. (NT) -- I did want to ask if it had any flavor left but didn't have the heart to ask...Well he gave it his best try..but I think he will be eating soup for weeks..Patti, 07:43:24 09/28/01 Fri
Well, I just felt like I had to share this recipe with all of you girls. I made this cake for Connor's birthday celebration yesterday and it was a smash hit! It's another of those secret family recipes that have been passed down through my family for years. We are a mulit-generational non-cooking family! HA! Please follow the instructions carefully and your cake will be as beautiful as mine. -- Laura, 08:24:47 09/26/01 Wed
oops, instructions are below... (NT) -- L, 08:26:22 09/26/01 Wed
Girl...you are a RIOT!!!....haha...I love the way you bake cakes...hahahaha (NT) -- Barb, 08:47:44 09/26/01 Wed
OK I'm a little confused about the Pick up...do they not deliver...?? (NT) -- Patti, 09:18:39 09/26/01 Wed
Well, there's always someone in the crowd slow to catch on....no Patti, you must pick it up. It's sort of like after you have a baby - carrying it into the house for the first time is a wonderful experience. (NT) -- Laura, 09:44:41 09/26/01 Wed
OH wanted to know about the Clean up is there any clean up...at all..I just might like to try this new thing.....Are these Cakes a big hit with the family..do you get a lot of praise from them... (NT) -- Patti, 15:37:48 09/26/01 Wed
Will someone please help me? I need to find out how to make eggs correctly so they come out all together. Adam likes his easy over......I prefer scrambled because it's easier. But I try to do eggs for him and I can't seem to get the knack of flipping them over and then back so the yolks are still runny so he can slop his toast in it........eeeeewwwww!! LOL .......I usually break the yolks when I try flipping them and I feel like such as bad cook. I usually end up overcooking the yolks, or the eggs turn into a mishmosh.......Please help! (NT) -- PIXIE, 15:42:20 09/25/01 Tue
I want them to look like this, only just a hint of white over the tops of the yolks. I bet you guys are very good at this. I am inept! (NT) -- PIXIE, 15:45:16 09/25/01 Tue
I sure wish I could help you, Pixie! I've never tried eggs that way - if I flip 'em, they cook all the way! Or I scramble. (NT) -- Lauda, 07:49:16 09/26/01 Wed
Okay, here's a tip my Auntie Velma taught me years ago...instead of trying to turn the eggs over when they get almost to how you want them to be..put a little bit of water on the yolk of each egg and put a lid on the skillet....cook a bit more and the yolks will sear over without you having to turn them over....Try it Pixie...it works for me every time...Good Luck.. (NT) -- Barb, 08:42:49 09/26/01 Wed
Ok oK..first make sure your Skillet has been seasoned...which means if you don't have a non-stick pan make sure you season it by putting a little oil in there and cook on high and right when its starts to see a little smoke coming from the oil take it off stove..let it cool down and then just wipe it out with paper towel..it is now seasoned that when you put a little oil in there and your egg's..you and flip those's egg's over just so easy..the less oil in pan the better if you use the spray pam stuff would work great...too...just put that spatcula right under that yoke area and let it slide over .... (NT) -- Patti, 09:26:04 09/26/01 Wed
The one "dish" that I have had the most trouble with is meatloaf. I absolutely love a good meatloaf. Through the years, I have messed it up so many times - and I think.."how could I mess up a meatloaf??". There was the time it came out like sloppy joes, and then once it was rock hard...Nodle and the kids are not fond of meatloaf. So if I get a hankering, I usually go to Boston Market and get some ready made - delicious! (NT) -- Laura, 09:03:45 09/24/01 Mon
One thing that comes to mind is the first pie I ever made after I got married...I made the crust...opened a can of blackberries..poured them into the crust and put cute little crust strips on top...stuck it in the oven anticipating a wonderful pie....Didn't realize I had to do SOMETHING to the berries..not just dump them in...I don't recall that we ate that pie...haha...was kinda soupy... (NT) -- Barb, 19:20:27 09/22/01 Sat
Ha ha ha ha ha...thats funny...and Joan yes I remember a few of those stories..I think we all have them My first atempt at my Grandmother's fudge was a disaster..and I mean big..it never got hard as Rick told me I invented a new type of Anti-freeze...LOL..I'm serious we left it in the freezer for days and it didn't even get hard so not to waste it..we just ate it off the spoon. My grandmother told me that you have to cook it to just the right tempeture..she had that recipe down to a science..never once did she use a thermometer to check..but..I do.. (NT) -- Patti...and then there was the time of the Giant Dumpling...yes..sucked up all the Juice and it just layed there...LOL.., 19:48:48 09/22/01 Sat
Hahaha...Okay, now...I want to hear the story of the Killer Dumpling...haha... (NT) -- Barb, 21:21:27 09/22/01 Sat
Well when I took off the lid of the pot..the dumpling was all the way to the top..and I couldn't find the chicken or anything I pushed down on the dumpling and low and behold it was solid...so I took my bowl that I was going to put it in and started scooping it out..and no juice just dumling with pieces of chicken and veggies all mixed in it..was something that I never seen before Oh did I tell you that I made the dumplings by hand you know the flour and milk and baking powder..well seems that I took teaspoons for table spoons..LOL...well at least I know now what I did wrong..LOL..but hey..was something that Richard never let me live down..I think thats when I knew I needed glasses too...LOL (NT) -- Patti, 08:54:58 09/23/01 Sun
Joanie, those are funny funny stories. I don't have any really funny stories like that, except twice my casseroles actually broke in the oven....because the thermostat was way off. They had to replace it for us. Adam is the funny one in the family, as you know. LOL (NT) -- PIXIE, 17:58:13 09/22/01 Sat
Come on now, Pixie...I'll bet if you really think about it you can remember a fiasco in the kitchen that had your name on it instead of Adams...haha.....Are you thinking???..... (NT) -- Barb, 21:27:55 09/22/01 Sat
Contd. from below....at the age of 15 I wanted to impress a boyfriend and make a chocolate coffee cake and was going to frost it. Well I made a butter cream frosting and then was going to color it so I added a few drops of green that was like St. Paddys Day so I added a few drops of blue....opps....not being an artist and knowing what colors mixed together make what colors I came out with a battleship grey color, as it was to late to start again I frosted the cakes and served it. Neither the boyfriend nor my brother said anything they just ate it. In later years brother joined the Navy and reminded me about the frosting color....ha ha.... (NT) -- Joan, 16:46:10 09/22/01 Sat
I shouldn't be here becasue I love to cook, my Dad started out as a cook and I learned from him.
But I can contribute some funnies that happened to me early on, some have heard these before.
1. was making beef stew, when done put can biscuits all around the outer edge and covered to steam. Well they didn't rise and since I thought they are made of flour etc. I just stirred them into the stew, well the end product was like something you could have used for wall paper glue with meat lumps....37 years and John still teases me about that.....well we all have to start some place....hee hee (NT) -- Joan, 16:38:52 09/22/01 Sat
Hahaha...Joanie, that is tooooo funny!!....Everytime I see that stew in my mind..it makes me laugh all over again....haha (NT) -- Barb, 21:24:44 09/22/01 Sat
Well as much as I love to cook...I'm a cook that doesn't like last minute notice that someone needs a cake baked or a whole meal prepared...as thats happen to me...and then its rush rush rush..and this cook doesn't like to be rushed..terrible things can happen to the recipe..when we rush... (NT) -- Patti, 06:24:11 09/22/01 Sat
Adam and Pixie belong to this club. Don't anyone let Adam near a microwave with a roll......pleeeeze!! LOL .....Pixie cooks because she has to, but she is not gung ho about it....just tolerates it. I give her some brownie points for learning to make a few things from scratch, but she has a long way to go. She is a messy cook, too. But maybe I can whip her into shape. LOL (NT) -- MARTHA STEWART, 15:30:23 09/21/01 Fri
Well what can I say the poor man will never be able to live this down...LOL...the 40 min roll ..that turned into a rock...LOL (NT) -- Patti...OH can't let Ray near one either..He blows up stuff in there..all over the place..for an Engineer he should do better then that...and when they say microwavable plates..dah doesn't mean sterofoam...LOL..did you ever see a cup melt before in there...LOL, 16:22:45 09/21/01 Fri
Don't forget how that burned, dried up roll smelled up the house for the whole evening! haha .... Gosh! I think Ray's escapade with the styrofoam in the microwave is equal to Adam's fiasco. LOL (NT) -- PIXIE, 19:17:07 09/21/01 Fri
Yes it's equal or not worst..as what was in the cup was now all over the bottom of the microwave..AND THEN Oh lets not go any further the clean up was even worst..LOL..as he was making a mess of it..I finally got it cleaned up..they..sure just stay out of kitchen's..completely (NT) -- Patti...where's the rope to tie them up..OH and lets invite Mom to dinner and Call Patti to come cook...thats a nice thing thats happen to me..and says..I'll help...NO THANK YOU, 20:59:49 09/21/01 Fri
Well, I don't hate to cook, but I do hate to peel and chop potatoes. I bought a Rotato on the recommendation of a friend, who said it had to be a Rotato and no other brand. Well, I like it, but so far only for potatoes. I tried a carrot and it didn't work well at all. Oh, I got it for $5 a couple of years ago and there was a $5 rebate but they never sent it to me. Grrr. (NT) -- Mittens, 15:27:35 09/21/01 Fri
Well I'm sorry you didn't get your rebate..hey I've had a many of disapointments in that department..and about the peeling of potato's does it work well does it leave more potato then peeling them by hand..my grand mother could peel a potato just taking the skin off and to this day don't know how she did that..One thing I will do is wash the potato very well and boil it first and then the peelings come off very well and you can cut them really easy..the red potato and the thin white potato are the best.. (NT) -- Patti, 16:18:41 09/21/01 Fri
Actually it takes off a little more than peeling by hand, but it only takes 5-10 seconds to do one potato. (NT) -- Mittens, 18:24:51 09/21/01 Fri
WEll Our Dear Fingy had a board 2 years ago called I hate to cook..and just missed it..as I miss her as well..maybe we can get her to stop by some time here to tell us a few things thats happen to her in the Kitchen...LOL...So come on tell us a few things that happened to you and most likely thats the reason you don't like to cook..LOL (NT) -- Patti...Yes I've had some bad experience's too...such as a cake that didn't rise...Dah..what a flat thing that was...LOL.Oh and the Cake I forgot to put the sugar in...OH MY..what a nasty taste that was...LOL, 15:13:31 09/21/01 Fri
