I cut the end off then slide a paring knife between the skin and the wrapper lengthwise slicing thru the cellophane. Here they're wrapped in plastic but the method would work either way.

Love your china, I have a complete set of it.

The temperature here has dropped nearly 30 degrees in the last couple of days to the mid 50’s. Minestrone soup is on the menu. Made beef broth in the IP then combined the soup ingredients and am slow cooking til dinner time.

Birds Eye has frozen pearl onions.

A simple enough dinner since I'm still recovering and will be it seems for another week or so. Potato salad in the IP, gosh, that was the easiest recipe ever, whew, And a bone-in pork chop done in the CSO and dinner is ready.

Looks a lot tastier than what I'm having....cottage cheese with pineapple.

My stainless measuring cup set has a two tablespoon (1/8 cup) measure. It is very handy and I use it all the time. I also have an old Tupperware measuring spoon set that includes a 1/2 Tablespoon (I-1/2 teaspoon) measure which is very handy for bread baking. Another nifty little spoon is KAFs 2-¼ Tablespoon yeast measure; it's another a great tool for bread making.

I don't know what it's called but I want one.

Indeed it was! I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you for posting!

My searches didn’t turn up the poster who first mentioned Michigan Beans but, fortunately, I had saved the recipe. i've been looking for pantry friendly and simple casserole type foods that I can manage while recovering from my recent surgery and these beans are exactly what I was lookin for. Still not easy to get to the store for special ingredients and can't manage too much effort yet. The beans are in my crockpot now and they smell wonderful. I’m really looking forward to dinner (with a Subway salad alongside.

In spades!

Makes you wonder who designs things like this....obviously someone who doesn't cook. My GE gas range at least does have a decent burner design; big, fast burner at right front. Medium fast burner at left front (I use this one most). Small hot burner at right rear and small slow burner at left rear. Or, more simply said: Right side, large hot in front and small hot in rear. Slower large at left front and slower small in left rear. It's a good setup. The big, hot burner on the right front is super hot so I don't use it much, I have to keep and eye on it so it doesn't scorch. I've only used it for pressure cooking and big vats of boiling water.

Peeled and trimmed, for me, the broccoli a stems are much tastier than the florets.

A friend's husband is ALLERGIC to celery. How weird is that?!

I made a recipe of goulash the other day that just screamed for some homemade white bread to go with it. I can't even remember the last time I made a loaf of plain white bread but that day I really needed some. I used this recipe from KAF. Exactly what I wanted.
