  • Never put out a grease fire on your electric stove with salt and then not clean up the salt, or soon you have salt fires!
  • And for heaven's sake, don't try to make them on a electric stove!
  • When making chicken and dumplings, and wanting the 'juice' to be that wonderful 'butter-color', do not mistake the blue food coloring for the yellow. No one eats blue dumplings. You then have to add yellow as green dumplings are better than blue if…
  • That's a precious story. My husband will never forget when we first married, I wanted to make stuffed bell peppers (I had never done it before but loved eating my mother's and figured it wouldn't be hard to do since I was imaginative and knew what t…
  • Nope, I think it was Lifebuoy! haha
  • I bought those great big lemons and it only took 3 to get 1/2 cup of juice. But you are right, waaaaaay not enough sugar to counteract all that juice. But I really don't even think more sugar would have helped, it was really gross when it cooled of…
  • Impressed wouldn't be the word for it! I think he went into the bathroom and gagged himself (or maybe it was that sour cream cheese talking back to him_. The dogs definitely were not impressed, by the way. I am going to be a little leery of trying…
  • Yep, but I was in a domestic mood and wanted to impress my husband (and after 42 yrs of marriage that ain't easy any more!). Even our dogs didn't want any of it!
  • Sure am. I did see your post on one of the threads but can't find it now. My iron skillet has gunk on the outside sides only. The bottom and inside are slick as a whistle. My dad used to use it when we went camping and I'm sure that's where a lot o…
  • Was the skillet good and gunky? What a bargain! 50 cents. I have one that my grandmother used - it is so gunky on the outside I'm ashamed for anyone to see it, but boy does it cook good!
  • I make smothered steak! That on top of rice just sends me into heaven. It reminds me of when I was a little girl - my mother and my grandmother both used to make it. Very easy recipe! Large piece of beef round steak (however much you want!) Salt …
  • I do use lots of salsa - remember I'm from Texas! haha I just don't like putting the lime or lemon juice on the avocado - I don't like the taste, especially of the lime in combination with it. I love limes and lemons, but want my avocado with garl…
  • That's the way I make my guacamole except for the tabasco (I add a tiny bit of mayonnaise). I love avocados, plain or fancy, they are just wonderful tasting! I like them on hamburgers also (Texas hamburgers - NO CATSUP! haha) And I know that lime …
  • As long as it isn't sweet I might could like it. I just don't like things sweet that aren't supposed to be! Like honey-mustard! To me that is an oxymoron! haha
  • Probably the same people that eat avocado icecream and garlic wine are the very ones that eat jalepeno jelly! I love jalepenos and I love jelly, but NOT TOGETHER! haha
  • I really am not sure how they get it to stick back together but it does and then they just dip it and fry it. It doesn't even cook the avocado just crispy's the crust! But yeah, you are right, it would be soooo good even with the frying.
  • Here in Texas (north of Houston) we have some really great Mexican restaurants and one dish they make is a lot like yours except they cut an avocado in half lengthwise (peeled of course), scoop out the seed and stuff grilled fajita steak strips or g…
  • That sounds absolutely fantastic!!! I'm going to make some!!! Thanks! Jill
  • Well, I live in Texas as I see you do and my daughter's name is June so I was just sure you were using an alias! haha But try the new version on the casserole and if you like it, I'll give you my daughter's email address and you can tell her!
  • Judy, aer you sure you aren't my daughter?! haha That's what she says.
  • I like the faint taste of anchovies but not the bitty fish themselves! I do love pork skins and I bet that would be better than those 'fake onion crumbles' that are usually used. I don't like those things! Same as those fake bacon bits!
  • Well, Don, if you like the regular one, then if you like cheese and chilis and pimientos, you will reeeeeely like this version. The asparagus one sounds good too! I'll have to try that.
  • You are welcome! I promise it is really good - my oldest daughter makes the regular one for every family dinner we have and I just can't eat it! So it was a pleasant surprise to find one I actually am crazy about. Hopefully she will take this ne…
  • We need to clarify that chocolate issue! It isn't Hershey's chocolate syrup or Dove Bars, but cocoa powder!!!! Cocoa powder is dark and bitter and not at all sweet. And it is commonly used in the Mexican dishes! haha I could just see someone dum…
  • Wow! Can't believe you don't know what it is - it is sooo good and called by several other names (even if not correct) - goose liver, liver cheese, liver loaf, etc. It is garlicky and great and is the "poor man's pate de fois gras". The recipe soun…
  • they call it gumbo because of the okra. If you leave out the okra, then it is 'creole' as in shrimp creole rather than shrimp gumbo. Believe me you cannot make gumbo if you don't put in okra - it defeats the purpose.

  • hahahaha I LOVE YOUR POSTS!!!
  • This is not illegal if the reason they will get both a 1099 and a W2 is because they were employees for part of the year and independent contractors for part of the year. We have had that numerous times and have checked and it is fine. You have no o…

  • I would tell the dr then what the ee told you that this other ee did. If they are reputable, they will certainly work with you. Our clinic closes from 12-1 every day but if someone is there who cannot produce, they do not leave until the person doe…
  • I guess you can put anything in a policy you want; however, I cannot imagine a clinic not realizing the specimen is not at the exact temperature it should be if it is 'fresh'. Of course I heard there are 'kits' you can buy so you can keep the speci…
