my garage is too cold I fear
Comments (6)Hey Duane, put a small heater in there and warm it up to about freezing level if you can. We had a power outage and we had some water buckets out there. I am going to have to get out there to see what damage I have when I can get the guys to dig out the snow. 16" here and that isn't counting the ice in the middle. More snow is falling this am and no work for the guys today! Good as I'm not going to do much outside, they can clean off the driveway. knotz, they say this is the worst that we have had in 30 years and it's not done yet! Snow all week and more wind on the way! Roads are closed and chains are required in Portland to get around. 25 degrees this am and yes this is way to cold for us!!...See MoreI'll share my recipes, if you'll share yours - January 8, 2010
Comments (4)We had this Cheesy Potato Sausage soup a few weeks ago at a potluck. It was very good! He said it was Jimmy Dean sausage in it and I went to their website and think this is it. He used the Hot sausage in it, not regular. Ingredients a.. 1 pkg. Regular Flavor Jimmy Dean® Pork Sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained 3 medium baking potatoes, baked, peeled and cut into 1" cubes 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1/4 cup all purpose flour 3 cups chicken broth 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 3 cups milk 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese salt and pepper to taste Directions Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until tender. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in chicken broth; bring to a boil, stirring frequently until thickened and smooth. Stir in milk, thyme, sausage and potatoes; bring just to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve hot. Yield: 10-12 servings...See MoreI'll share my recipe, if you'll share yours, April 26, 2012
Comments (9)I love the Auntie Ann soft pretzels and always treat myself to one when I find them. Here is a copy cat recipe for them. Auntie Anne's Pretzels: Copycat Recipe Makes 12 Adapted from Food Network 2 cups milk 1 1/2 tablespoons (2 packets) active dry yeast 6 tablespoons brown sugar 4 tablespoons butter, melted 4 1/2 cups flour 2 teaspoons fine salt 1/3 cup baking soda 3 cups warm water Coarse salt 8 tablespoons butter, melted in a shallow dish Warm up the milk in the microwave or on the stove for just about one and a half minutes. It should be about 110�. If it's too hot it will kill the yeast. You should be able to comfortably keep your finger in it. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 3 minutes. Add the butter and sugar. Add the flour about 1 cup at a time and the add the fine salt. Kneed for about 10 minutes with a stand mixer, or by hand. Put it in a greased bowl and cover with greased cling wrap. Let rise for 1 hour in a moist, warm place until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 450�. Divide dough into 12 lumps (I like to divide it in half, then divide each half into three, and then divide each remaining one in half again). Roll them all out as thin as you can. Combine the warm water and baking soda in a wide bowl. Form the dough into pretzel shapes, then dip in the baking soda water. Place on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for about 7-11 minutes or until browned. Serve with cheese sauce. For Garlic Cheese Sauce: (A Yammie original) 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 3 cloves minced garlic 1 cup milk 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika a pinch cayenne pepper 8 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded (Not pre-shredded. Do it yourself.) In a saucepan, combine the butter, flour, and garlic over medium heat. Whisk until lightly browned. Whisk in the milk, paprika, and cayenne pepper and continue whisking until thickened. Add the cheese and whisk until melted. Can be reheated in the microwave.

Comments (5)I asked the same question of both my kitchen installer and the contractor who opened a load bearing wall for me. Both explained that although it is very heavy as a single piece, that piece is distributed over numerous square feet for an island and even more for a long counter length. When you compare the weight of the counter, say over a single cabinet that is 24" or 36" x 24", it is less than the weight of evan a small person. Consider what weight is put on one square inch when you put on high heels (that is the example one gave me!) and it is worse than a granite countertop! The other mentioned a party with 50 or so people, and you can see your house takes all that with no problems. Put that weight over a large area like a countertop and it really is not a problem at all unless you have a very old and weak structure with decaying supports and floors that you are trying to attach them to. If you are really worried, call your local building dept and talk to an inspector. Ask if there are any structural requirements to support it. I doubt there are, but even so, you would likely exceed them by quite a bit. Sue...See Moreboxers
