Since I am making a roast chicken with sausage stuffing etc tonight.... does anyone ever do mini Thanksgiving dinners with turkey breast or roasted chicken 1/4s? tracey

Now I dont mean taking half of a Pepperage Farms cake and calling it a serving, although I have in the past. What really got me thinking was a package of frozen ravioli (large round) the nutrition info panel said that 4 was a serving. Yeah maybe if you are doing a multi course Italian dinner with a Primi Secondi Intermezzo and Dessert maybe I could stop at 4 ravioli. We just had ravioli and salad I ate 10 of them. Have they really lowered "serving size" that much to make food look healthier or am I just a pig? tracey

Froze Fruit bars....I like strawberry the Croisanwich at Burger King tracey

That is indeed a nice looking lasagna. I was trying to describe to my husband this soup I used to make when I worked in a deli 20 years ago. We called it "country sausage minestrone". It contained leftover sausage and peppers chopped up leftover lasagna or baked ziti chopped up chile with beans and canned chicken soup. It was damn tasty and sold well I think we actually "upcharged" it because it was so rich and heavy. sad but true tracey

Gee would have been nice to let us know Ahead of time so we could party, party, party Congrats you guys are really killin me all the HDs near my job suck tracey

My free copy arrived last week keep the faith tracey

From what I know the Hamburg steak and sausages (Franks) weren't served on bread until these "invention" dates. In Germany many sausages are still served in a waxed paper or on a plate rather than a roll. tracey

When I was a kid we lived with my grandparents, I used to ask my grandmother to please cook like "everyone" else and stop making everything with olive oil. The only time she used vegetable oil (Mazola Corn Oil) was for pan frying breaded chicken cutlets. Now the only thing I dont cook in Olive oil is chicken cutlets and Chinese food....so shoot me. tracey

Just a quick little after work dinner....that required 3 trips to the poultry market waiting for my politically incorrect ingrediants Not this guy though just an innocent chicken its the first course I made 3 trips to the market for after rounding up some Demi, cherry preserves, and sherry vin I was ready to sear off a few slices of this... and swoon over a plate of like this Huson Valley Foie with a black cherry sauce followed by plain old roast chicken with mashed potatoes and peas. The meal I missed in Paris Oh yeah dont cook foie gras at home if you have no kitchen exhaust fan tracey

#1 the goverment of China may have something to say about this factoid.... #2 Daniel you cant be giving up PORK tracey

I have to say the only thing I thought I would have for breakfast today was a leftover bagel at the office. When what to my wondering eyes did appear but 12 Almond cookies, 8 Dan Tarts, 6 Char Sui Bao, and a Cream Napolean....I will have some of each thanks kim.... Tracey

How about roasting thin slices of pineapple and shredding it in like the coconut in some of the recipes......? tracey

It might be someone that waited and fussed for a TJ of their own and decided if they ever got one....... I dunno tracey

Since my soup looked Exactly like this one.... Ahh the things you can do with inspiration and 2 onions it was yummy tracey

If we all undo a button buttery gravy will find its way in tracey

Sounds like what I had for dinner in Munich...the man next to us said I had alot of work ahead of me to pick all that wonderfull roasted meat off the bone. Well he said it much simpler not being of the English speaking sort served with a light pan sauce and potato dumpling tracey

Mojito jelly Lime and Gin marmelade Jalepeno Bloody Mary jelly tropical fruit and rum come on keep it going...I dont really drink cocktails tracey

I like the list .... half a ham lasts half as long as a whole ham how do you know when chitterlings are spoiled anyway? tracey

Most nuts aren't nuts...not that we were discussing nuts but cashews are droops tracey

All the good mommies in NJ had "tupperware" cupcake carriers too - otherwise you had to bring them to school in a Macy's shirt box.... Whichever market is across from the Beacon Theatre had really grat cupcakes a few years ago...topped with at least an inch of white choclate ganache tracey

Yeah, I could have mentioned to crank up the exhaust fan...you get smoke but I havent hit any bitter flavors from burning the honey...Yet T

Not planning much for this year except I want Oysters! As for your tuna may I suggest ...mix eaqual parts honey and soy - roll the blocks of tuna in this and then white sesame seeds - sear in a very hot pan on all sides then let rest and serve over bitter greens with a dressing similar to the marinade...not as sweet though tracey

Now look at that, we have some people saying they would starve on this diet and someone saying they couldn't eat all that food I had some salmon last night..... tracey could....couldn't

Just for a goof I sometimes take lumps of really soft sourdough and make "English Muffins". Usually its when I cant wait for that last rise, bake, and cool time. I just drop the rounds onto a nonstick pan and cook on both sides. Fun tasty and instant...well have to go through the first rise but....they cook really fast tracey

When you feel bad for the pig used to make the commercial bacon you ate yesterday.....that belly was so perfect it should have been treated much better. tracey
