  • You've gotten to know us all fairly well. x:D
  • >Q, what sounds tempting, the booze guzzling sex >and politics [b][font color=red]discussions[/font color][/b] or the jumping out of the plane? You forgot one critical word. Without that word, I'd say jumping out of the plane is more t…
  • I seem to recall a photo of her jumping out of an airplane. Even in that photo, she was impeccably groomed and looking very composed. Maybe she jumped out of a plane BECAUSE of all the booze-guzzling and sex/politics discussions. Sounds tempting …
  • We'd be like one big HR encyclopedia. But... having all that knowledge would be useless because we'd spend all our time downing lots of wine and creating new recipes that apparently cannot involve pineapple or mushrooms, but CAN include cup after c…
  • Careful, ritaanz, or he will bust out his collection of books about our language and we'll never be done with it. It just occurred to me that it is a good thing we do not all share an office. We'd never get anything done, with all the talk about i…
  • Ketchup is not a vegetable.
  • Substitute Mt. Dew for pineapple juice. There just won't be pineapple chunks in the sauce. It also might taste nasty. What fruits and vegetables DO you like, if not pineapple or mushrooms?
  • I have no idea, so I used corn syrup. Worked out OK.
  • I made this last night. Turned out great! My boys and husband refused to eat the apples and onions, but I enjoyed them. I bought frozen pierogies. There weren't any of the onion kind, so I bought the cheese kind. Still yummy.
  • Yummm - my family loves pork chops! My boys have never tried pierogies but I bet they'd love them. I think we'll try this one. We make "Pirate's Pork Chops" last weekend. I'll post the recipe later.
  • Oh my gosh, I can't believe I've been ignoring this thread. I thought it would be about the merits of home made vs. store bought ranch dressing. I should have known better. I just had to explain to my assistant why I was laughing out loud.

  • Almost. No. ;;)
  • I'm sure she won't mind as long as you arrive at the door carrying a dozen roses, a sack full of groceries, and an apron tied around your waist. x;-) I made it for my family, by the way. I doubled the recipe for the filling and sauce, because the…
  • Man that sounds good. I am not a seafood fan, but I can deal with shellfish as long as it's not still in the shell. (I also have issues with meats that still have bones, yet I claim not to be prissy. Hmmmmm.) Might try this for my husband for fa…
  • When your angel food cake settles into a wedge shape, do not attempt to even it up using frosting. Frosting was not intended for use as a filler.
  • When you are craving s'mores and don't have a real fire to toast your marshmallows, do not use a lighter. The taste just isn't the same.
  • Unless you wish to form a bonfire party, NEVER put BBQ sauce on raw chicken before grilling.
  • Do NOT feed your Easy Bake Oven creations to your new stuffed polar bear, or your mom will take him away until you are old enough to take care of your toys properly. Same rule goes for mom's lipstick and your stuffed animals, although that's not …
  • My tried-and-true recipes do just fine. It's when I feel the need to experiment that we have trouble... (The angel food cake, BBQ chicken, and steak & eggs were all "experiments" of my youth as I was learning to cook. And the Easy Bake Oven…
  • Reminds me of the time my brother, about 10, decided to bake chocolate-chocolate chip cookies for Boy Scouts. We didn't have any baking powder, so he substituted an equal amount of baking soda. Once baked, the cookies were hard as a rock and loo…
  • I have always used the word "glom" the way you do, as in "that new employee just gloms on to everyone, and they want her to lay off". I thought "glom" basically meant to stick annoyingly and not let go. "To seize" isn't that far off.
  • Whirlwind, I tried the recipe with fat-free mayo and skim cheese. The cheese doesn't melt and the mayo just kind of gets icky-looking. The mixture just kind of lies on top of the pie instead of getting all gooey and sinking into the crevices. I…
    in TOMATO PIE Comment by HRQ March 2005
  • I tried this recipe this weekend. I found the wonton wrappers in the produce section, near the tofu. I liked it, but my husband and children were turned off by the spinach and ended up just eating the sauce and garlic bread... Maybe next time I'…

    in MINT JULEP Comment by HRQ July 2004
  • I always wondered what a Mint Julep was. I always thought it involved Creme de Menthe for some reason. Glad to see it doesn't. x:D Must the bourbon vessel be sealed with a cork or will corncob do?
    in MINT JULEP Comment by HRQ July 2004
  • No, I certainly did NOT, but if Pookiebeagle doesn't object, I don't mind either. x:D
  • Parabeagle is also known as Pookie, but I am the only one allowed to call him that. You can do some lengthy Forum research to figure out why, if you want. x;-)
  • Who needs a pie tin? "one squirt for you, one squirt for me, one squirt for you". I don't mind sharing spit on the sprayer thingie if it's with my boys. x:)

  • Pookiebeagle, You might recall that Rotsaboola suggested HRQuack as a nickname for me. I didn't like the name because it implied an HR fake - like when a doctor is called a quack. In an unrelated post you said as an HR person, you let the bad stu…
