Glenda: Your Jello Salad?
Comments (11)It was over $3 at WalMart. Patches, I could not find the recipe I used. I accidentallly deleted it. I DID go check, and the one above is right, but here's another one. I THINK this one is the one I used. Got it from a friend.. 2 small packages grape Jello 2 cups boiling water 1 can regular size blueberry pie filling 1 small can unsweetened crushed pineapple, undrained Topping: 1 small package cream cheese, softened 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Directions In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Cool for 10 minutes. Stir in pie filling and pineapple until blended. Transfer to a 9x13 inch dish. Cover and refrigerate until partially set, about 1 hour. For topping, in a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Carefully spread over gelatin; sprinkle with nuts. Cover and refrigerate until firm....See MoreIntroductions Thread Part II
Comments (42)Guess I'll introduce myself over here, though many of you already 'know' me or will recognize my screen name since I'm pretty vocal on many other forums! I'm Susan and I live in Houston, TX with my wonderful husband Jason and younger son John (14, with high functioning autism and apraxia). Older son is off at college. I have my own little company designing software for the hospitality industry, and Jason is a professional remodeler who is 'semi-retired' now and working on our house -- a complete rebuild. I first found GW through the Kitchen forum when we re-did our kitchen about five years ago, and I've become progressively more addicted aver since. My zodiac sign is Gemini, and I'm a Gemini in the kitchen as well. Some days, I just want something quick and easy (but still fresh and from scratch please!); other times I love to putter and spend hours making homemade soups and inventing dishes of one sort or another. Recipes? Not so much... They're good for inspiration, but when I'm in the mood to cook, don't tell me what to do! The toughest part of cooking for me? Figuring out what to cook! What a PITA... I need to come over here for inspiration more often....See MoreHey, Colleen_Oz!!
Comments (4)Kangaroo is a very lean meat and tastes not unlike beef fillet. I'm told crocodile tastes something like slightly fishy chicken. Both are "specialty" meats and only available in speciallist butcher shops- you won't generally find them at the supermarket or even your corner butcher. In the not too distant past farming families ate a lot of kangaroo as it's free and readily available if you can butcher it yourself. I have an old cookbook with a recipe for kangaroo brains called "Slippery Bob". Makes you want to race out and cook some, doesn't it? ;-P...See MoreShout-out to Elmer/Access Flosser
Comments (21)I had seen the media reports about flossing myself. Here is what the American Dental Association says: http://www.ada.org/en/science-research/science-in-the-news/the-medical-benefit-of-daily-flossing-called-into-question In short, they appear to say flossing offers minimal benefits, but that since 50 percent of American suffer from gingivitis/periodontal disease, it's worth achieving the small benefit. Specifically the authors pointed out two difficulties in studying the benefits of flossing: First, people fib and say they floss more than they do, so studying the effects of flossing can be difficult based upon reliance on self reporting. Second, there are people who floss well and people who do not floss well- most do not. So even when people are telling the truth about their flossing habits, they may be very poor flossers, hence harming the studying of flossing. As a lifetime non-flosser, this article, which I read a while ago, did not convince me that my non-flossing ways were acceptable. It seems obvious to me that if I have nasty stuff caught in between my teeth that cannot be doing any good for my teeth and gums, or my overall health in general. Your physical health depends upon your mouth's health in many ways. And in many instances the health of your mouth reflects the health of your body (you may have seen the previous studies on oral health and heart disease, for example.)...See More- 5 years agolast modified: 5 years ago
Put this one on your "to make" list. Made this, and DIL cannot stop raving over it. Used to make long time ago, and now it's regaining its popularity with the virus.
this is NOT the one hallngarden makes, I'm just sharing this one with her in case she wants to try it.
Depression Cake- 1½ cups All-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- In a square cake pan (Dimensions: 8x8- Ungreased), add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt and whisk everything together.
- Use your finger to make 2 small holes and 1 large hole in this dry flour mixture.
- Pour vinegar and vanilla extract in the small holes.
- Pour oil in the large hole.
- Pour water over everything.
- Mix everything together until just combined. Don't worry if you have some lumps. Just don't over-mix or else you will end up with a rubbery cake.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until an toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
