Can anyone tell me what this kitchen gadget is? The lighter is for comparison size. Thanks for any help.

How did the homemade cherry pies go over? I would be asking for seconds if I were there!

Zap the thawed, dried shrimp in the food processor, add Old Bay, a little horseradish, a few fresh bread crumbs an egg and maybe a little chopped celery and make into patties......sautè in a little olive oil. Serve with seafood sauce, etc.

I use a new, unglazed clay flower pot (run through dishwasher before using) to keep mushrooms in the fridge, put a paper plate over top. Seems to keep them fresh longer than in a paper sack and definitely longer than styrofoam cartons wrapped in plastic. When baking rolled cookies I put the dough between sheets of parchment paper, therefore using no extra flour.

I always use it to marinate shrimp.

There are a couple of places in the area, Colony Country Diner and Two Sisters Cafe that have daily homemade specials for $5.95 which also includes a salad bar. The food is plentiful and good.

Most definitely my knives.

I have been buying from stores like TJMaxx, Marshall's and HomeGoods. I have been fortunate finding several bottles of Italian, Sicilian and Spanish evoo, which is my favorite. Once in awhile I find a bottle or two from California. They are usually 50%-60% off suggested retail prices.

I am adding another 5 to my collection. Things Cooks Love A Love Affair with Southern Cooking The Savannah Cook Book Ham Biscuits, Hostess Gowns and Other Southern Specialties Giada's Kitchen

When families actually ate dinner together and folks had manners.

I have another 15 to add to the list.

Hi Randi, got a question...why is your food going home for your supervisor's supper? Your supervisor is a piece of work if she can't even support what you do, is there morale problem with her underlings; with that attitude, it wouldn't surprise me? Oh, and that soup looks delicious!

You could make a Nantucket Cranberry Pie (more like cake than pie) or cranberry cream scones. Nantucket Cranberry Pie Cranberry Cream Scones
