I may have mentioned in the past that my dad is a big mac guy. Luckily for him, he points and his employer buys. Nonetheless, I must say...he goes through a lot of stuff that I think is unnecessary , but never even notices due to his religious Apple conviction. I appreciate and enjoy the design sen...

Fennel.

I think it was Mikey who said he wanted to try using fennel. I have a few good recipes, most of which are really easy. I'll add more to this thread later, but first I will post the one we made for dinner last night! It's called "My Friend Frank's Favorite Chicken" (or something like that),...

What's a liquid cup? I'm assuming this isn't a serious question! I do have a serious question, though... the recipe calls for corn oil. I have canola. I don't think there is much difference between the two. I have SO MANY oils -- olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, I even have walnut oil! I don't wa...

Fantastic!! That doesn't sound too bad at all, really. When I make any sort of bread, I often hear, "Wow, how much time did that take??" and I say, "Active time or waiting time?" Baking bread is a long process, but total time spent hovering over it in the kitchen is usually aroun...

I'm surprised you don't have a Creme Brulee torch, ppanther. I've been eyeballing them for a while. I did a traditional Challah Monday. Phenomenal bread. First time I've braided a loaf. I was quite impressed. It was a time consuming loaf to say the least. I started saturday night, and let it gain s...

pp, your recipes sound wonderful but for the most part they are waaay too much work for this busy family guy. I try to keep my dinners simple and yet still good. I have no problem with simple and good, but... do you mean to tell me you never put in more than 30 minutes on a meal?? Don't give me the...

Let's see...

Sara lee pound cake sliced and thrown on a plate (blah)...

pp, did you catch this a few years back? http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/anna/ pretty good stuff. Nope, but I'm loving the story, so I'd love to see it. ( After I finish the book. I hate it when books get ruined for me by movies!) TFD: War and Peace is actually on my list right after Anna Karen...

I'm way into C.S. Lewis right now. I am reading Mere Christianity at the moment. I am also reading a book called The Question of God ... written by Armand M. Nicholi Jr. VERY cool book that essentially puts together a "debate" between C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud on the subjects of God, se...

I've gone to one Ice Puppies game so far this year. I really wish the games were more fun... I mean, I can actually walk to the arena. It would be totally awesome if I had even the SLIGHTEST desire to do so more than once a season.

Boring.
