  1. My recipe is quite similar to yours except I add minced onion, celery, cream of celery soup (instead of mushroom), then a mix of milk, mayo and grated cheese into a sauce. I also use high quality tuna like Italian packed in oil or Tuna Guys brand. DH who'd always hated his mother's tuna casserole loved mine. Me too. I still make it regularly. In fact, now that you've mentioned it, I may have to mix some up for dinner it sounds so good!
  2. I have a friend who is a heavy tipper and the unusual thing about her is that she never tips less than $5.00 no matter how small the bill. I always thought that was nice. I don't do that but I will over-tip atmmy favorite cafes where I get exemplary service and attentiveness. And, the food at these local places is always very good.
  3. I have a full set of Portmeirion Botanic Garden china including many of their accessory pieces. While I personally prefer plain white dishes, these belonged to my husband before I met him and he just loved the pattern (he had actually chosen the set himself, not by a previous wife) and they were insanely expensive! I continue to use them (while he has since passed away) for obvious sentimental reasons, I do have some very inexpensive Corelle luncheon plates that I use a lot for just that since they can go right in the oven or microwave. The Portmeirion is quite durable though I made the mistake of putting a dinner plate in the CSO and the temperature must have been too high because the plate broke in half $$$! Fortunately I have eleven more of them. That's where the Corelli earns its keep.
  4. I bought a pound of deli Virginia ham and sliced Swiss cheese the other day. I didn't think to buy my favorite deli rye bread. Today I'm making KAFs Sandwich Rye. I've made it before and it's a favorite along with their Jewish Rye. Now I just have to wait for it to come out of the oven. A friend taught me to smear yellow mustard on my ham before toasting the sandwich. edited to fix link

    Dinner 2017 (Part 6)

    Despite the heat (100F) today and continuing for the forecastable future, I want to make this for dinner. I just watched the episode featuring it on Cooks Country and it looks amazingly good. (I will omit the bacon on the outside.) My go-to recipe is also a CC and it's super good so I know this one will rock it.
  6. That looks really delicious!
  7. There is an online list of the most popular Prime Day items by country. Sorry I don't remember where it is it just popped up on my computer this morning. the most popular item in the US was the iPot for the second consecutive year.
  8. I keep a sticky pad in the kitchen and add items to it as needed. When I go to the store I put the sticky on the handle of the cart and readily scan as I shop.
  9. I know how that goes...I sent hubs to the store for something (can't remember what now, it was some time ago). He called me on his cell, "They don't have any" I said, "Yes they do, ask somebody where it is". Of course, they did have it and he did then ask.
  10. Uh oh...I may be forced to buy a Spiralizer after all!
  11. My lists are much simpler, but then, I shop for one and not a whole family. I only go to one store each time I shop, but I rotate and will likely shop at a different store next time. I try to list by store organization, i.e., produce first, then beverage, then canned, etc. I pay no attention to sale items unless it's for something I need that trip; I sure the brochures mostly for inspiration. Worst case scenario is I finish my list then forget it when I leave for the store. (it's happened more than once, for sure.) Trying to recreate the list in my mind while shopping is the pits.
  12. I snagged a bag of mixed berries from Schwan's yesterday...(yeah, I know it's fresh berry season but by the time they get shipped here most of the flavor is gone, so I buy frozen). After I drive Miss Ginger to town to get her teeth cleaned at the vet's, I'll be putting this together: Triple Berry Crisp scroll down for the recipe

    Dinner 2017 (Part 6)

    Wow!,, That chicken looks insanely good!
  14. This is inspiration for my leftover cherry tomato sauce, it looks wonderful!
  15. I'm a total sucker for any kind of bread but I've never tried these. Mostly because of the sweetened dough. But I saw packages in my grocers recently that were smaller (a dozen is just too much for me) and I was/am tempted. So are they worth taking home or are they just meh?
  16. Not crispy, I had cut mine into a chiffonade (I'd presumed that was what the recipe wanted).

    Cajun Cabbage

    I love cabbage and when I saw this recipe and I wanted to make it despite our heatwave. Too bad I'm not in Manitoulin today.... BTW, the review of this recipe were universally excellent. Cajun Cabbage recipe

  18. I found mine to be better the second day (even though it was really good the first day).
  19. I've been tempted by the Spiralizer that's $22+ US right now but I'm betting I'd never use it. Also there's a really good discount on the Cuisinart 14 cup Food Processer right now; someone here was looking for one.
  20. liuzhou I'm so happy to see you posting again! I really hope you're on the mend.
  21. I saw this recipe and wondered, does anyone think this would make a good macaroni salad? I've only ever used CI's 'Modern Macaroni Salad' (or similar). Do you think this would work, and, would it be good? https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-amish-macaroni-salad/print/
  22. I love peanut butter but not on soft bread. growing up we had pb sandwiches but never with jam, I don't know why because this was the fifties and there were not a lot of choices then in the Midwest. when I have pb now I like it on a toasted English muffin drizzled with honey then spread with super chunky pb. Or on pretzel rods dipped in pb...so good. Of course pb in cookies is a favorite.
  23. You're clearly stronger than me. It would be way too much of a temptation to resist.
