Oh Elsie, you're going to make me go back to that dark place? Let me think back and I'll try to remember specifics. I think I posted about it around here somewhere. For now, I'll say it was the most complete failure I've ever had (cooking-wise, that is).

ME TOO. I STILL have rice flour lol. That was such a disappointing experience that I vowed to never try again....however, the pain has lessened over time lol. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Sticky wings, egg rolls and sweet and sour tofu over rice noodles

Yes. I have these that I use all of the time--two at a time in the CSO. The total length and width in including the lips are 9.5x5.5.

Now I'm double excited!!! You will succumb to my enabling when you get back home to your full size IP

Oh good! I'm excited! I know the pan will be useful for other things, too....

No this is the pan that I bought and here is the recipe I used

Ever since I saw @Kerry Beal make flan in her IP, I've wanted to do that but I couldn't find a suitable container that I already owned to do it in. So, I had to buy a new toy. A flan pan Burned the heck out of my hand trying to distribute the caramel around evenly lol All ready to go in the IP After a day in the fridge Good stuff!

WANT! Thought I had some crawfish tails in the freezer and I wanted to fry them. I did have them, but they were freezer burned. Ick. So, I went for shrimp instead.

What about making a slab pie? Sour cherry or something like that to balance out the sweet brownies? Or, I was just drooling over this recipe that @Ann_T just posted.......

I promise you will now be on the eternal hunt for on sale mushrooms. For me it takes about 4 regular size containers of whole mushrooms to make a quart jar full. Like @HungryChris suggested, I add some thinly sliced onions on the bottom and the top. They are really good in salads.

Did a corned beef in the slow cooker yesterday. Also tried a new recipe called "melting potatoes". OH they were so good. Crispy on the outside, creamy and, well, melty on the inside. Will definitely make these again.

I've kept my mouth shut about this because I didn't want to be outed as weirdo. But just now I realized that you guys have known how I truly am for a lot of years now. 😂 I love brussels sprouts and tomatoes together. I often pop open a jar of my tomatoes and dump them in with the sprouts after they've browned for a bit in the skillet.

When inspiration doesn't strike, it's usually breakfast for dinner Had some pork roast leftover, so enchiladas it was (very spicy.....used poblanos from the garden....I might have put too many in lol) And last night, after drooling forever over HungryChris' sandwiches, I had to make some of my own. Not as pretty as his, but it hit the spot

FRANCI!!!! How are you???? Missed you so much Are you settled in your new home now? Lovely pizza.

Definitely making your broccoli recipe as soon as I get some!

Sunday game night food Fried hot wings and gizzards with fries, dipping sauces (bleu cheese, hot sauce and gravy) and some puff pastry pinwheels (pesto and dried cherry tomatoes that I made because they were going south) Last night Pho with pork belly and some sweet and sour tofu

My mom and step dad sent us a huge wonderful bag of oysters from Cajun Grocer that we keep in the freezer. A few hours before dinner, we take some out so that they thaw enough to get them open. They are wonderful.

Did a pork roast in the slow cooker the other day. Venison chili Last night was oysters and salmon And now I'm off to plan something fun for dinner tonight ....I need something to distract me from the Chiefs/New England game. I am a die hard Broncos fan. I need this game to have no winners. A score of 0-0 would be nice.

Hey, we got like .70" of snow last night. You can't expect me to get out in that. Smithy, besides the made in japan stamp on the back, are there any other markings that could help locate another one?

I'm so sorry about your plate. It's beautiful. No possibility of gluing? I think you should take the things you enjoy out of the cabinet at home and bring them with you and use them and enjoy them. Accidents may happen, but the pleasure of seeing them far outweighs them being safe and tucked away, I think anyway. Hell, I break things all the time and my house isn't even on wheels. Glad your internet is back

Birthday dinner last night started with more of that wonderful Harbison cheese that I can't get enough of Then venison lasagna and peach crisp for dessert

Ronnie's birthday eve last night: He chose fried chicken Dark chocolate homemade pudding for dessert

It snowed. A little. I'm pretending that we're snowed in. Next weekend is supposed to be snow, too, hopefully my snowed in dream will come true Anyway, along with snow, it's Ronnie's birthday on Monday which means he gets to pick his favorite meals for a week--that started Friday night with chicken fried venison Last night was potato soup and grilled ham and cheese
